Insight, foresight and recommendation
bluebird Bio (BLUE) – BLUE has been on a tear since 8/21/17 with some dips as January opened at $181.90 with a 1/9 low of $169.50; jumping 2/1 to $205.25 slipping to $191.50 on 2/09 with a pricing of $213.25 on 2/16 ... WHO can argue with this momentum. Celgene's (CELG) option and ownership is a solid foundation ... yet, why any buy-out at this price? It will dip, slip and return but, ebb over time ... yet worth "playing" the pains and gains
