Recommendation
This is a very speculative trade because the company has experienced losses over the last year. The company should however be able to surprise analysts. However, due to improving economic conditions, this trade could be very profitable.
Entry strategy
For the cautious investor:
Buy the stock for 7.33$ or less.
For the risk-taking trader:
Buy 8$ December out of the money call options for about 10$ a contract.
Because of the speculative aspect of this trade, try to keep the supports on watch if you feel uncomfortable with a potential downward movement.
Watch the stock closely as the earning release date approaches. If the resulting price is satisfying, sell the call options as an up price movement happens.
Exit Strategy
For the cautious investor:
Sell when the stock reaches 8.20$, or keep it until about 9.00$ if you are very bullish.
For the risk-taking trader:
These options are currently undervalued and their prices anticipate a negative earnings report from the company and they should greatly appreciate following a positive move of the stock.
