Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Pharma News

Pharma News Drives Sector

Somewhat of a reversal of fortunes has befallen major healthcare middlemen this week, and for them it’s good news. The Trump administration is doing a 180° on proposed changes to drug rebates that would have cost the healthcare industry.

The development is causing healthcare stocks to rise here in the premarket, and a few that have caught our eye in particular, are UNH, CI, and CVS. Each of these plays is flying high in early trading, so what we’re going to look for is a classic dip-and-rip scenario. Profit-taking right out of the starting gate should drive these stocks down off of their lofty premarket highs, and that’s when where we come in with the following ideas.

CVS Health Corp. CVS Weekly $57-58.50 Calls
Cigna Corp. CI $167.50-175 Calls
United Health Corp. UNH $250-255 Calls 


Extended Watchlist:
PCG, NAVB, TRNX, OMER, ATOS, HTGM, DPLO, KBLB

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Bottom Plays

New Bottom Plays

While we are in a bit of a drought in terms of big name earnings reports, as tends to happen around a holiday. We’re back for a full, fresh trading week and we thought we’d shift our focus to bottom plays as we kick things off. 

Taronis Technologies, Inc. TRNX

TRNX is in precisely the sort of position in which we look for bottom-bounce candidates. The stock saw new lows last week before making its reversal, and stringing together three consecutive positive sessions.

We can also see on the RSI that TRNX is just now coming off of being extremely oversold and the volatility potential suggests that even a 100% move from current pricing would not be out of the realm of possibility. We’ll be keeping an eye peeled here in the days and weeks ahead.

Rockwell Medical Technologies, Inc. RMTI 

RMTI is another possible bottom play with some decent potential and a gap to fill the 200DMA currently sitting at 4.11. Perhaps the upside potential here is not quite of the magnitude of the previously mentioned play, but the indicators may be more ripe in this case.

The MACD is on the precipice of a bullish cross, and the RSI is slowly attempting to come off of being oversold. This may also be a good candidate for a more sustained recovery over the next several sessions.
