This small-cap oil stock could be attractive to risk-tolerant investors seeking a mix of income and capital gains.

We’ve just left behind the biggest, baddest bear market of your lifetime, and we are in the process of leaving behind the greatest economic slowdown since the Great Depression. By no means do I think it will all be peaches and cream from here. But there are great advances happening in medicine, in communications, in alternative energy, and more, and I’m confident that early investors in the right companies will do very, very well.

Over the past month or so, it seemed like stocks would continue their frenetic surge. This week, however, the market appears relatively lackluster with a lot less excitement. Some investors may yearn for more fireworks, but as a value investor, I find this calm to be more sane.

With the stock market’s remarkable strength over the past five and ten years, most stocks have produced at least reasonable gains, such that even out-of-favor stocks aren’t down-n-out stocks. We look at attractive turnarounds among stocks with flat to negative five-year returns.

After surging to new highs in mid-March, today’s recommendation entered into a tight consolidation pattern—and today it’s still in that pattern! While the broad market has pulled back, this stock has held up strongly, which is a very good sign.

At a new all-time high, this is a tough market to navigate. Sure, the market could stay good for a while. But at this late-stage of the bull market and recovery, how much is left in the tank?
