Discover Financial Services - DFS -Daily - Ahead of the pack -The charts are lined up to the high in 2008 and the current rally looks tired at the old high, creating the look of a double-top. Given that MA and V are well off the highs and have been lagging DFS, it looks like a trade is set up here to short DFS and go long MA and V as a package. Make the longs the same total dollars as the short.
Risk a loss of 5% on the whole position, Target a gain of 10%.
Time period: 1-month.
Catalyst: The attention that Visa is bringing to Apple will lead people to analyze this space for arbitrage opportunities.
