I. Introduction

This post provides detail on the Energy industry - specifically:

🔹 An objective measurement of industry strengthening and weakening so you can objectively compare recent strength and weakness across/within industries and sub-industries.

🔹 A listing of stocks from 1Strongest through 9Weakest (highest/lowest rating of 9 levels) by sub-industry. Generally, stronger stocks rated 1Strongest have less overhead supply to impede further price appreciation. Meanwhile, weaker stocks rated 9Weakest may 1) be prone to “pops” from bargain hunting and short-covering yet, due to preceding weakness, are 2) also prone to falling far and fast from holders "throwing in the towel."

II. Market Environment - TAILWIND

This system seeks to understand the current market environment before considering sector, industry, sub-industry, and stock-level strength. There is no guarantee this objective measurement will remain either favorable to longs (tailwinds present) or unfavorable (headwinds present). The critical factor is this acknowledges the clear influence market factors have on the levels below it and lays the groundwork for subsequent principle-based decision-making.

The current market/sector environment is providing a TAILWIND.

The Market Strength Score changed to +6% (a positive reading means "Risk On") as of Friday, March 14, 2025.

The current strength score is +30% as shown below. The upper bound for this score is +100%. While of course not guaranteed that will happen, there is room to rise. There is no way to determine the amount of index points that would be associated with a strengthening to +100%.
