I love to do PEAK trades on Pharma. It just seems to work best on those stocks.
This morning when I was watching CNBC I saw ICPT was off the charts...over $117.00 up. I knew what my trade this morning would be.
Right at the open I bought ITM PUTS on ICPT no charts at that time. I exited when I was happy with my profit. Often I leave $'s on the table but I do not care if I do. I am happy with my profit got money in my pocket and am ready to go do something else.
The trade: 08/12/2014 Bought At the Open (BTO) ICPT Aug14 325 Put 3(contracts) $23.60 (Ask) $14.95 ($7,095.05)
