We have watched Dexcom (DXCM) on Market Wealth Daily many times. The recent pullback knocked it down a peg and it has started its recovery. It has been a strong performer and with it confirming a move over its 10 day moving average it is looking to head back up to continue its longer trend. This catch up move makes it a nice potential buy.

It also give us the opportunity to consider a way to boost the trade. Take a look at the chart:

Refilling to the previous trend would put DXCM at about 650, but there is a lot of room between where it is today, 566 and that mark. If we look at a call option with a strike of 600 and an expiration of January 21st, it is trading at about $16.30 this morning. We could realistically see it double if DXCM heads back up to the previous trend. At $16.30 it is a little higher than we would typically consider but this is a stock we have been watching and it has had consistent patterns. If this is too big of a chunk to bite off, definitely consider another trade.
