On CAPS, 150 of the 156 All-Star members who have rated SandRidge -- 96% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include DaretothREdux and Vet67to82, both of whom are ranked in the top 5% of our community.

In late November, DaretothREdux tapped SandRidge as an oily turnaround play: "Oil isn't going anywhere. This is a great stock that has been beaten down by the recent market and will rise back faster than most."

In a pitch from last week, Vet67to82 elaborates on the natural gas side of SandRidge:

SandRidge Energy is a possible double or triple waiting to happen. Natural gas is tied to crude. The last US [Energy Information Administration] report there was a drawdown yet the price dropped? The have been numerous storms driving [temperatures] to record lows in New England states ... I expect another drawdown. Pres. B. Obama favors "green" energy. A great way to lower crude demand is to switch 10 - 30% of the nationwide trucking fleet to natural gas. Natural gas has the omph to move a [45-foot tractor trailer], it's cleaner than diesel, and cheaper per btu than diesel.
