The exceptional skills that will make you stand out in the stock market are not just your abilities to spot growth and dividend stocks, even though they are one of the big money-making strategies, but being able to uncover turnaround stocks that are making a huge comeback.

What are turnaround stocks you may ask? These are stocks that were affected by a temporary economic trend which eventually led to massive sell-offs. You will see affected companies, like this, report declining sales figures on quarter to quarter basis, year on year and even make a loss, and at the end return to profitability after restructuring.

A look at Nigerian stock market

Oil and gas companies in the Nigerian stock market were worst hit by the collapse in oil price coupled with numerous attack on oil facilities by Niger Delta militant that led to low production output. This crisis was largely reflected in their share price performance in 2014, 2015 and 2016, but as the price of crude oil reversed its year-long downtrend after an agreed-OPEC output cut, we saw an increased inflow of petrodollars into the economy. Now that the activity of these militants at near zero level, some of the stocks have begun to rise again as manager of these companies had concluded facilities repairs and built alternative export routes to control future loss.

As a stock trader, I had taken time to single out two perfect turnaround stocks you should focus on this year.They are SEPLAT and Japaul oil. I will be reviewing Japaul oil soon but let's focus on SEPLAT.

Seplat is a leading independent oil and natural gas producer in the prolific Niger Delta area of Nigeria and a leading supplier of gas to the domestic market. As a full-cycle upstream oil and gas exploration and production company, our focus is on maximising hydrocarbon production and recovery from our existing production and development assets, acquiring and farming into new opportunities in Nigeria (specifically those which offer production, cash flow and reserve replacement potential with a particular focus on the onshore and shallow water offshore areas) and realising the upside potential within our portfolio through focused appraisal and exploration activities. A strong track record and high-quality asset base Our portfolio comprises direct interests in five blocks in the Niger Delta area, four of which Seplat operates, and one further revenue interest.

One interesting discovery on SEPLAT chart is that the price pattern of the stock on a monthly chart mimics the global crude oil market price trend and NSE all share index. As of this writing, the stock is already posting weekly gain as investors' sentiment turn positive; they had just released a full year result that beats 2016.

Here is my personal analysis that reveals the big upside potential of SEPLAT in 6 months.

Let's talk about the company performance from 2016.

As culled from the SEPLAT's 2016 result:
