Brigham Exploration Co. (BEXP) gets my vote for Top company in the Bakken Shale in 2009. BEXP was basically left for dead during February & March of 2009 as institutions and mutual funds dumped the stock. Shares of Brigham Exploration Co. (BEXP) hit a low of $1.04.
The stock then rebounded with the overall stock market back into the $3's in May. Raymond James upgraded the stock and BEXP surged to $5 by August.
BEXP now trades just shy of $15 and is most likely headed to $25 in 2010.
