March 23rd Watch List
CVR Partners (NYSE:UAN) – Trading in somewhat of a cup and handle pattern, I like the increasing volume and room back to the 8.00 area. After 8, there is room right to 8.50 or so. Long entry is over 7.55, stop 7.25.
SPX FLOW (NYSE:FLOW) – On reversal watch after a nice 80% run following last earnings. This thing hasn’t slowed at all yet. Would like to see a pull back with the markets. Short entry is either over 27 and back down, or under 26, with an add at 25.59. Room here is down to 24.50 area and then 22.40. Overbought RSI at 75.
SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY) – Looking at the 30 day lows of IV on this ETF, I think a sharp pull back to the 200 level gets us paid quickly. If we don’t get a sharp move this week, I will look to sell an OTM bear call spread to hedge this. The Apr16 205/200 Bear Put for around 1.50 should be decent.
