Blackstone Group is back towards the bottom of the gentle up-channel started in 2009 (see weekly chart below).
Rebounded off a double-bottom on the daily chart in good volume, but not as much as the rest of the financials.
Similar story to another, smaller asset manager highlighted recently (please check LM idea).
1. Buy here with target 28.50 and stop 23.50 for a RR of 1.83x
2. Buy here with target 32.00 and stop 22.30 for a RR of 2.28x
3. Buy Jan 16'17 28.00 call at 0.32 and sell same maturity 23.00 put at 0.45

The stock closed above the top of the previous wedge - A positive signal. It has been up on volume, which is another positive. Stock currently closing in on our second target, and looking technically positive on all time frames. Has been up nearly 21% since we initiated this idea. There is more room to go as good market flows start feeding through to asset managers. KEEP HOLDING.

Dagangan ditutup: sasaran tercapai:
There are 2 more $ up to our target and the stock is still above the stop-loss we are comfortable with. However, it closed yesterday marginally below the 50MA and in the context of a potential market consolidation, it is better to protect gains and take profits. This trade will have returned some 19% since inception.
