Dear Bottarelli Research Member,

On Thursday, January 5th, you bought the Celgene April 60 Calls (LQH DL) for $9.70. The premise for the trade was a three part bullish signal that included CELG announcing a 2-for-1 stock split, hitting a new 52-week high, and bouncing off their 50-day moving average.

As I write, the CELG calls are performing beautifully, trading for $13.00. That’s good for a 34% gain. But I noticed something that could be cause for alarm.

Reading Barron’s this weekend, I noticed that Celgene was the #1 stock for insider selling. Flipping to page M10, you see that seven (7) different Celgene insiders sold over 1.5 million shares…amounting to $95,799,242 in stock. That’s a red flag. So let’s take profits now.

PLAY: Sell your Celgene April 60 Calls (LQH DL) at or above $12.60, good for the day.

Congrats on your gains.

Lock and load!

Sincerely,

Bryan Bottarelli
