  Refiners like Phillips 66�(PSX), Valero Energy�(VLO), Holly Frontier�(HFC), Marathon Petroleum�(MPC) and Tesoro (TSO) had a painful start to the year. The pain might be about to turn to gain, according to Barclays.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By David Sterman]

  I took a close look at all of the companies that appeared in the first part of this series, and there were some great companies in the mix. If price were no object, I'd be a huge fan of:

  Oceaneering (NYSE: OII), which is prospering form the ongoing trends toward undersea naval warfare and undersea oil drilling. Oceaneering is poised to grow at a sustained double-digit pace, which is something few other defense contractors can say. Cree (Nasdaq: CREE): LED lighting is a revolutionary game-changer, and Cree's heavy emphasis on R&D is leading the charge towards ever-lower prices for these low-energy light sources that also have remarkable longevity compared to regular bulbs. Still, profit margin gains may be tough in a very competitive environment.  Polaris Industries (NYSE: PII): If Winnebago's (NYSE: WGO) recreational vehicles are suitable for retirees, Polaris has become the go-to name for activity-oriented vehicles. Notably, it has a revenue base that is four times larger than Winnebago as well. If S&P wants to position for future demographic trends, then Polaris is a great choice.

  I love these companies, but I don't love their stock prices, and I'd prefer to wait for some sort of pullback before singing their praises. That said, there are two investment ideas that hold great appeal on their own. If they get added to the S&P 500, then they are also set up for a timely trade.

Hot Performing Stocks To Invest In Right Now: Whiting USA Trust I(WHX)

Whiting USA Trust I is a REIT. The trust was founded in 2007 and is based in Austin, Texas.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Roberto Pedone]

  Another name that's starting to move within range of triggering a big breakout trade is Whiting USA Trust I (WHX). This stock hasn't done much so far in 2013, with shares up just 4.5%.

  If you look at the chart for Whiting USA Trust I, you'll notice that this stock has been uptrending strong for the last few weeks, with shares moving higher from its low of $3.65 to its intraday high of $4.87 a share. During that move, shares of WHX have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now spiked shares of WHX back above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. Shares of WHX are now quickly moving within range of triggering a big breakout trade.

  Traders should now look for long-biased trades in WHX if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $4.90 to $5.04 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 321,220 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then WHX will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $6.23 to $8.01 a share.

  Traders can look to buy WHX off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below its 50-day at $4.12 a share. One can also buy WHX off strength once it takes out that breakout levels with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a comfortable percentage from your entry point.

  Citigroup’s Liav Abraham and team upgraded Allergan to Buy from Neutral, skipping Outperform in between. They explain why:

  Following the recent removal of the Restasis and Lumigan overhangs, we are reassured regarding the organic longer-term growth profile of [Allergan]. The stock offers the most attractive growth amongst the peer group (10% and 17.5% 3-year sales and [earnings-per-share� compound annual growth rate] vs. the peer group averages of 7% and 12%). Our 2014e-2016e sales and EPS estimates are 2-15% ahead of the Street.

  Risk-reward skewed to the upside; we prefer to be buyers of the name ��Despite the recent share price appreciation, [Allergan's] current 2015e earnings multiple of 17.5x remains only slightly above the peer group average of 16x, despite the company�� robust sales and earnings profile. The risk-reward profile remains skewed to the upside: our bear case [target price] represents 17% downside to our base case, vs. 25% upside for our bull case.

  Since Dec. 24, Allergan has been upgraded by Wells Fargo and Sun Trust Robinson Humphrey, while getting imitated at Buy at RBC Capital Markets.

  OGE Energy Corp. (OGE): Another Utility with Slightly Higher Growth

  Our second example, OGE Energy Corp., differs from our first only by virtue of the fact that its earnings growth rate since 1998 has averaged over 5% per annum. Nevertheless, we once again discover that the PE ratio of 15 represents a strong proxy for this company�� valuation. During the short time intervals when price deviates from fair value PE of 15, it doesn�� take long for price to move back into alignment with earnings.
