If you're counting on your pension, the stock market, or Social Security to make it through retirement, there's a very good chance you're going to face major financial problems. Goldman Sachs Asset Management is warning about not only U.S. debt but global debt, now over $237 trillion...and Morgan Stanley is predicting big losses in the near future. The next stock market crash will not discriminate when it comes to individual mutual funds. They are ALL waiting to be slammed with major losses.
Protect Your Retirement Before It's Too Late.

Technicals
CRL has been contained within a rising trend channel for just over a year now. A spike higher following their latest earnings report was met with sellers at the top of the channel, resulting in a dip back to roughly the halfway point. Support is found at $125 which was where the stock was trading prior to the earnings inspired gap up. CRL has been outperforming the broader markets as it traded at record highs just a few weeks ago. The trend remains healthy, technically speaking, on a daily chart and higher time frames and there have not been any technical indications that the uptrend won’t continue.

If you agree there's further upside ahead for CRL, consider this trade which is a bet that the stock will continue to advance over the next four weeks, or at least not decline very much.
Buy To Open CRL 21Dec18 120 Puts (CRL181221P120)
Sell To Open CRL 21Dec18 125 Puts (CRL181221P125) for a credit of $1.53 (selling a vertical)
This price was $0.02 less than the mid-point of the option spread when CRL was trading near $127. Unless the stock rallies quickly from here, you should be able to get close to this amount.
Your commission on this trade will only be $2.50 per spread (the rate charged by thinkorswim for Terry’s Tips’ subscribers). Each contract would then yield $150.50 and your broker would charge a $500 maintenance fee, making your investment $349.50 ($500 – $150.50). If CRL closes at any price above $125 on December 21, both options would expire worthless, and your return on the spread would be 43% (581% annualized).
