LIVE: The Smart Money Is Rushing Into This Major Pharma Player

April 29, 2025 DAILY ISSUE In Today’s Masters in Trading: Live LIVE: The Smart Money Is Rushing Into This Major Pharma Player Good trading is all about leveraging intel others don’t see. I've been hunting for those hidden corners of the market that fly under most traders' radar. We've profited from the gold-silver divergence... We've made winning trades on volatility in the international stock market… And now something big is tipping our Unusual Options Activity (UOA) scanner once again... Yesterday, my UOA tool tipped off massive, persistent bullish options activity in one key stock – Merck (MRK). Big institutional players grabbed $5 million in June-dated calls. This sparked a sharp rally, pushing MRK from $76.50 to $80 by close. But here's what makes this truly compelling… Another $5 million purchase of those same calls hit the tape. The smart money isn't just buying – they're doubling down. The skew is extremely bullish. And with no significant put buying, it’s all pure upside from here. Anything from new drug approvals to M&A activity could be fueling these moves. Whatever the cause, the smart money is betting on long-term growth from here. And with big option trades creating forced buying in the underlying stock, we have the chance to capitalize on any bigger pops from here. In today’s Masters in Trading LIVE at 11 AM EST, I'll take a deep dive into Merck’s bullish run and show you the factors that have me convinced this stock means a great long-term trade from here.
