OIL CONTINUES HIGHER
Crude oil prices paused on Tuesday, as traders digested bumper gains made the previous day.
Oil had spiked higher on Monday on the back of a weak US dollar, rising stock markets and hopes of economic recovery, as well as concerns after deadly suicide attacks on the Moscow metro.
What must you know?
Volume in the oil market is very light, says Addison Armstrong of Tradition Energy. I expect the oil market to be sleepy into the holiday. I think we see crude bounce around and test below $82.
And despite a bullish outlook from Goldman about nat gas, I just see no reason for nat gas to rally, Armstrong adds.

APPLE HITS NEW ALL TIME HIGHS ON VERIZON PHONE
Shares of Apple popped on Monday after reports suggested that a deal for Verizon to carry Apple’s iPhone was in the works.
Fast Money was among the first to bring you the news – in an exclusive interview with Canaccord Adams analyst Peter Misek. (Click herefor all the details.)
What’s the trade?
It wouldn’t surprise me to see Verizon to get a big bump, says Patty Edwards. As for Apple -- color me cynical but typically Apple shares sell off right after the launch of a new product.
I think Apple is a dangerous game, says Pete Najarian, however there’s no doubt that people are excited about the new iPad. But I prefer Nokia as a play on their new smartphone or RIM. Or consider a second derivative trade. over the next few quarters I expect to see upside in chip makers such as Qualcomm and Marvel .
The iPhone developments are something of a headwind for AT&T, says Todd Gordon. I’m seeing a key sell signal in this stock. I think AT&T moves to the downside.

NETFLIX HITS NEW HIGHS
Netflix made new highs on Tuesday after FBR Capital analyst Heath Terry lifted his price target to $85, from $71 citing new opportunity from the Nintendo Wii.
Last week Netflix shipped discs to select customers which allow them to watch Netflix moves over the Wii console.

FAST FOOD TRADE: MCD
The fast food trade continued to work Tuesday with McDonald’s hitting a new all time high on news that the hamburger giant plans to nearly double the number of its eateries in China by the end of 2013.
What’s the trade?
In the space I like Yum! for its presence in China as well as its growth plan in India, says Pete Najarian. Options action tells me that by June investors expect Yum shares to trade sharply higher.

CALL THE CLOSE
Pete Najarian: I think people are ready to close up the quarter and finish it right here.
Patty Edwards: I’m neutral on the market.
Todd Gordon: I think we’re heading lower in the euro.
Addison Armstrong: I think we see crude bounce around and test below $82.
