OXF - Oxford Resource Partners - Institutions Buying

What stocks from the all-time high list are institutions buying? Last week I focused on Gold Resource Corp (GORO) , the week before it was Almaden Minerals (AAU, AMM), both made the list again. This week I will focus on the stock with the 3rd highest Institutional Transactions: Oxford Resource Partners (NYSE: OXF).

OXF is an american coal company. It had its IPO in the summer of 2010, which explains why both the Piotroski and Altman scores are not available in the table below. It pays a hefty dividend but I could not find its payout ratio.

The daily chart reveals that OXF would not be on Darvas' watchlist because the range boxes are not consistently moving higher. However, it is not an unusual chart personality for a big dividend stock that slowly grinds higher. Since this stock has been accumulated by institutions (according to the Finviz data) it is surprising that the volume does not show more large green bars and the Elder Force is not consistently spiking upward.

Trend trading means retaining your initial position through thick and thin. You are fishing for very big fish, and you need plenty of room. One of the reasons so few people make big money from big trends is that they become anxious and hyperactive and forget to hang on. - Alexander Elder
