Recommendation

Because of poor quarterly and year-end results, JOEZ has been punished by its investors in the means of a huge oversell. The RSI just got over the oversold position and the MACD has bottomed. Investors were anxiously waiting for the final results of the company and they proved very disappointing. This seems to be the bottom and now might be the right time to buy for the coming quarter.

Entry strategy

For the cautious investor:

Buy the stock for 1.30$ or less.

For the risk-taking trader:

Since there are no option contracts for this stock, the suggested strategy is to use your margin to leverage the position of the cautious investor.

There needs to be a close attention paid to this position. It has a great potential profit, but the downside is still pretty high.

Exit Strategy

For the cautious investor:

Sell when the stock reaches 2.00$, or keep it until 3.00$ if you are very bullish.

For the risk-taking trader:

Same as the cautious investor. However, one needs to keep an eye on the position to make sure not to incur large losses should the position turn sour.
