March 7th Watch List
MITK – A great bull flag setup on the daily and a previous runner. Long entry is over 5.75 area, stoop 5.50. Room here is to 6.50 and then 7.00.
YRCW – Target on this up trender is 9.80 and then 10.90. The 50EMA is at 10. Looking for a long over 9.40, stop 9.00.
URBN – On watch for an earnings play after the close Monday. Will be eyeballing an iron condor to capitalize on the volatility crush. Looking at the Mar16 23/25/30/32 iron condor for a net credit around .40-.50.
SHAK – Another earnings play here where our risk is defined, and our probability of success is over 80%, thanks to volatility crush. Looking at the Mar16 34/36/48/50 iron condor, net credit around .70c per spread.
IP – Using our reversal strategy, this looks to be the next big runner to come in. We have some defined targets on this at 37.00 and then 35.70 area. Short entry will be under 38.60 and an add under 38.13-38.00.
