PAIRS TRADE: BUY US STEEL (X), SELL SHORT GM (GM)

BATS:X   United States Steel Corporation
See chart:

Risk 10% overall. X is volatile. Upside potential is roughly 20%. 5-10% downside in GM and 10-15% upside in X.

I like this setup. You can see that the pair of stocks is volatile and there is a lead-lag relationship that shifts back and forth. Given how GM is leading higher, it gives me confidence that X will find a bottom here and hold.

Cheers.
