Pfizer (PFE) has run up over the past two weeks and our call is in the money.
In addition to money rotating into pharmaceutical stocks recently, this week, a judge ruled that potential plaintiffs didn’t have standing to bring a class-action lawsuit against the company for allegedly steering patients toward high-priced drugs.
Let’s roll our call out two weeks to avoid having shares called away and to generate a bit more income.
