Recommendation
TransGlobe Energy is one of those few companies that can be considered a play on th recent developments of geopolitical instability in Egypt. The company's projects that are in the most advance state are based in Egypt, it is then easy to understand why the company suffered a huge drop in it's stock price after these events. These events in Egypt should be seen as a short term opportunity to acquire shares of this company as a return to more stable condition will bring the stock price closer to recent values.
Entry strategy
For the cautious investor:
Buy the stock for 12.50$ or less.
For the risk-taking trader:
The June 2011 12.50$ call option contract seems to be the right position to take, they can be acquired for 175$ per contract.
Exit Strategy
For the cautious investor:
Sell when the stock reaches 16$, or keep it until 20$ if the stock crosses the light resistance level.
For the risk-taking trader:
The contracts should be kept until the underlying reaches around 16$, as for the cautious investor.
