April 27th Swing Watch List
Constellium Nv (NYSE:CSTM) – On watch multiple times this year, but never seems to cooperate. It looks good here for a move over 6 resistance. Looking for a target of 6.75-7. Long entry is over 6.01-6.03, stop 5.75.
Rentech Inc (NASDAQ:RTK) – A sweet, large bull flag with big room. Capable of high flying when volume comes in. Long entry is over 3.90, add spot over 4. Room to 4.15 and then 5.00 near the 200 EMA. So, looking for those profits every 3-5%. Stop will be 3.64.
TSE – Still a short opportunity here, that in a weak market, could come in hard. Nice room down to 41.60 area, then 40. Short entry is under 43.70, stop 44.54.
