This company is part of the flock of companies that showed recent quarterly results that were under what analysts were expecting.

The combined effect of those events significantly drove dove down the price of the stock, which provides investors with a great buying opportunity.

The best thing to do here is suggested to initiatiate a long position. The stock should be acquired while it is still under 21.50$.

The April 2011 22$ call option contract seems to be the right position to take, they can be acquired for 95$ per contract.

For the cautious investor:
Sell when the stock reaches 28$, or keep it until 29$ if the stock crosses the light resistance level.
For the risk-taking trader:
The contracts should be kept until the underlying reaches around 28, as for the cautious investor. This price level should provide a satisfying performance.
