HAL

Halliburton Co. provides services and products to the energy industry related to the exploration, development, and production of oil and natural gas. Halliburton Co. (HAL) itself is a giant name in the oil industry. Q4 of 2013 alone, they increased their profits by 19%. The energy sector has been a highly profitable market during the current bull market, with examples from the solar energy companies to the more recent alternative hydrogen energy fuel cell companies. Performance in the sector is largely driven by the supply and demand for worldwide energy. Energy producers will do very well during times of high oil and gas prices, but will earn less when the value of energy drops. Furthermore, this sector is sensitive to political events, which historically have driven changes in the price of oil.

HAL is on a $36.66 52 Week Low and a $57.42 Week High. It's current price as of 03/11/2014 9:52AM is $55.17.
Compared to open prices this past week, HAL has had an average daily high of +0.43 and average daily low of -0.62.
