With nothing more than a passing glance at Royale Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROYL), it would be easy to dismiss it as just another volatile small caps... one of many small cap stocks that gets a little squirrelly every now and then. The longer you study the chart of ROYL, however, the clearer it becomes... this chart looks like it's coming out of a slightly bearish lull and working its way into an uptrends.
As the name basically suggests, ROYL is an oil and gas explorer. Specifically, Royale Energy, Inc. is developing gas-producing properties near Sacramento, and a crude property in Alaska. Unlike most of its small cap peers in the energy space though - the "juniors" - this particular small cap oil and gas play is already in production, and bearing revenue for its effort.
That's not to say Royale Energy is the picture of consistency, or of profits. While 2010 and 2011 were good years, with a top line of between $11 million and $12 million in each of those years, 2012 was a bit of a letdown, with revenue of only $4.4 million and a big loss of $12 million. 2013 got off to a slow start too.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By James E. Brumley]
Back on March 11th, yours truly opined that the wild bullishness that had carried names like ZBB Energy Corporation (NYSEMKT:ZBB), Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ:PLUG), FuelCell Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:FCEL), and Ballard Power Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:BLDP) to triple digit gains (in just a few days) was coming to a close, and taking profits on any and all of these stocks would be a good idea. It was an idea that went over like a lead balloon, judging from the responses I got. How ridiculous of me to turn bearish on those names! FCEL, PLUG, ZBB, and BLDP were all flying high, and obviously since they soared over the course of the two weeks leading up to that date, they could only keep going higher forever.

The not-so-great and wonderful OCZ
There was no company-specific news that caused solid-state-drive maker OCZ Technology (NASDAQ: OCZ ) to fall almost 8% Wednesday. But an article that appeared on Seeking Alpha �questioning whether the company had six months or less to live before it filed for bankruptcy seemed to coincide with its fall.
