Recommendation

This company has seen it's share of drama over the last weeks. First, it has face scrutiny over it's operations and the way it charges it's clients and just a couple of days later, the company releases it's quarterly statements with results that beat analyst's expectations but with a guidance that failed to stop the stock from falling further. This is a great entry point.

Entry strategy

For the cautious investor:

Buy the stock for 21$ or less.

For the risk-taking trader:

The June 2011 20$ out-of-the-money call option contract seems to be the right position to take, they can be acquired for about 255$ per contract.

Exit Strategy

For the cautious investor:

Sell when the stock reaches 31$, or keep it until 35$ if you are more bullish in your own analysis. The stock just broke one of it's support at 19.50$, so this position is to be monitored if if goes lower, in that case The light support should be seen as an exit point.

For the risk-taking trader:

The contracts should be kept until the underlying reaches 31$. This should provide a very interesting return if the underlying reaches the target price as the contracts will get in the money.
