Long-term Buying Actions in CVS
ONN.tv Senior Derivatives Specialist Jared Levy provides insight into a big call buyer in CVS Caremark (CVS).

CVS has had a nice run throughout the last year, and experienced a downgrade in November, but at least one investor is calling for a significant pop up in the stock throughout the next two years. LEAPS strategies account for more volatility, but less time decay.
