The Oil Services Vaneck ETF, symbol OIH-N, is seen as a leveraged play in the energy sector, particularly benefitting from the recent spike in oil prices. An expert recently trimmed his holdings in the ETF, citing a rise in his cost basis to $330. With oil prices moving favorably, it seems prudent to take some profits off the table, leading to a decision to reduce exposure by 25%. Since January 12, he has experienced a 30% gain in this investment, reflecting a strong performance amid market fluctuations. Overall, this ETF remains an intriguing option for those looking to capitalize on energy price movements, although caution is advised given its leveraged nature.
The oilfield services have the same seasonality as the oil sector itself. If you want to get leverage, this is where you play.

This tends to move from around mid-December through until April. Technically, the stock is showing a nice base pattern already. If it moves above its pattern, it will be a classic reverse head and shoulders pattern. Thinks that $26.27 is the magic number, and a move above that will complete the pattern.
