WHY CAN'T THIS RETURN TO THE 80-120 RANGE?
Earnings and cash flows look to be returning toward the 2009 levels once you back out the one time write offs for intangibles,good will, or other.
In my opinion this stock has much more to run. It looks as if short interest spiked after the announcement of the settlement. These shares will cover (probably at much higher levels) and should support the stock moving forward. The stock may back and fill in the next few days as the 30 day moving average has one of the largest spreads below the current price of the last 3 years. The spread may narrow but I expect the stock to remain well above the average until we get into the mid 70s.
Ichan may not get his dividend as soon as he wants but he nailed this one from a capital appreciation sparked from the settlement with the feds.
Good Luck-
Patience is key here in a equity like RIG.
It will consolidate, retrace a percentage of these huge runs, allow more big players to enter, then when it is least expected, surge to the next zone. Rinse and repeat.
These billionaire players/funds are not heavily invested in RIG for a paltry profit. Shorts will add, maybe take scalp profit but will also fuel for the next rise.
Key to net: the big funds buying are holding, not trading.

icahn is nice because management needs prodding; but for longtime RIG believers, this stock gets back to 80+ on its own merits.

It will , matter of time. Followed Icahn into this one.

Eventually RIG will go back that high. When is the only question. Agree Icahn made a good move. He is very successful doing this sort of thing. But I beat him to it by buying down near $40. I was willing to wait, but am now green and happy. Will ride this puppy back to your target range.
