Where’s the fast money finding opportunity? In this regular feature Anthony Scaramucci aka The Hedge reveals his latest greatest pick!

This week’s trade is long CVS Caremark. You may think of CVS as the drug store on the corner where you pick up shampoo or sun tan lotion but it’s also pharmacy benefits management service or PBM.

”With the 2007 merger of CVS Corporation and Caremark Rx, Inc., we've become an integrated provider of prescriptions and related health services with an unmatched breadth of capabilities,” says the company’s website.

Check out some of the company’s stats:

CVS Caremark (CVS)
Sector: Services
Industry: Retail Drugs
Based in: Woonsocket, RI
Market Cap: $45.2 billion
52-week high: $37.82
52-week low: $26.84

Anthony Scaramucci tells the desk he thinks the stock is a value. He sees major costs savings going forward due to the merger.

”If you look at the sum of the part analysis the stock should trade $42-$46 over the next 12-18 months.”

And it’s not just Scaramucci that likes it.

Other top hedgies including George Soros, Joel Greenblatt of Gotham Asset Management and John Keeley, of Keeley Asset Management also hold it.
