Celgene (CELG) Q3 earning update

Celgene just reported a great Q3 earings report which included strong sales form both Revlimid and Thalidomide. I have previously written about this company and previous earnings and valuations which can be viewed here.

After the great earnings report the stock gapped up to $47.5 and has climbed to $50.5 since as the chart shows. The recent run up may have been too much too fast. As the chart shows, the 50 day moving average is under $44. This would be a good time to take profits or make some money from selling calls. My strategy is to write covered calls at $50 strike price for January ( currently at $3.7. It is highly probable that CELG may even test its 200 MVA in the next two months which would make for a great buying opportunity.

JMHO
