OTC Recaps:

Bantek, Inc. BANT  – We had also recently signaled interest in BANT via our extended watchlist on June 1st. We’ve been including a lot more coverage of random OTC plays, and the success with those speculations has continued at a good pace.

Over the eight-session period that we’ve had it in our sights, BANT has traded up from a low of .0031, and went as high as .0085 yesterday. That’s an upswing amounting to 174%

Ethema Health Corp. GRST – We tagged GRST in yesterday morning’s report, and saw a solid double-bag move there as well. The stock traded in a range from .0007-.0017, marking a 143% rip.

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
