Trading CME Common: Once More Unto the Breach (CME)

Despite the Henry V quote in the headline Mr. Shakespeare was more of an annuity kind of guy.

From Feb. 11's "As CME closes its trading pits, what's a seat worth?":

Top Trade Ideas for the Week April 13, 2015: Bonus Idea
Here is your Bonus Idea with links to the full Top Ten:
CME Group, $CME, broke above resistance in September, triggering a Cup and Handle pattern. The stock met that price objective in March and has pulled back since. But the pullback found support at the rising trendline that has been in place since July and moved higher Friday. A Measured Move higher would target a run up to 107.50. This gives a good reward to risk set up.
The RSI is also turned back higher while the MACD is leveling after a pullback. The short interest is low at only 2.4% and the company is expected to report earnings next on May 7th before the open.
