If you compare the chart of Kosmos, PMO, Tullow and raft of other oil companies of that size, they are virtually all the same taking 1 January as the start date. A few differences might now appear and relate to recent news releases. This situation reflects a stalled economic recovery. TA in the oil sector is practically useless as everything is driven by underlying demand for oil which in turn is connected to GDP growth or retraction. So if we have an event which gave confidence that global economies were improving then all the oil companies and the oil price goes up. Smaller oil companies have declined disproportionately to large oil companies. So a recovery in oil would see sharper upwards movement in companies like Tullow that are trading at a fraction of book value.
