CGIX Recap, Retail Plays

Cancer Genetics Inc. CGIX – Review

We’re kicking off the trading month of September this morning with a recap oi the recent performance of a stock that we tagged for observation a couple of weeks back.

We included mention of CGIX in our morning report on November 15th as the stock was searching out a bottom. It established a low of 2.00 just a couple sessions after that, and hasn’t looked back since. In a series of huge days over the past week, CGIX has rocketed to a new high of 9.50. That worked out to an upswing of 375% in a matter of less than two weeks! Cheers to anyone who caught a ride on this shooting star!

Lululemon Athletica

LULU was, for the most part, in a general downtrend during the month of August, but to kick off September it looks like a change in pattern in due.

The company posted a solid beat on its post-market quarterly earnings release yesterday, and we want to use that untraded-upon development potentially to our advantage using an options idea.

We’ve had tremendous success with the LULU chain in the past, and this time, we’re going to be tracking the LULU Weekly $60.50-62 Calls* for possible daytrades.

*We never discuss weekly options on a Friday without going out of our way to warn our readers that trading contracts with a weekly expiration on a Friday is exceedingly risky and should only ever be attempted by expert traders!!!
