Recommendation
Anadigics Inc is a very difficult candidate to evaluate. It seems that in the short term, the company is a great short candidate. Profits have been elusive, but the CEO and the CFO have been selling shares over the past quarter. It is therefore recommended to way before taking a position into this company or selling it short if it makes sense for you. However, Anadigics will prove to be a good long position to take for the coming quarter.

Entry strategy
For the cautious investor:
Buy the stock for 4.00$ or less, there is still some downside left; it is therefore suggested to way before taking a long position in this stock.

For the risk-taking trader:
The July 2011 5$ out-of-the-money call option contract seems to be the right position to take, they can be currently acquired for about 50$ per contract. Acquire then when the stock reaches the light support or if it breaks the downtrend resistance.

Exit Strategy
For the cautious investor:
Sell when the stock reaches 6.50$, or keep it until 8$ if you are more bullish in your own analysis. It is highly recommended to keep the position on check if it goes sour.

For the risk-taking trader:
The contracts should be kept until the underlying reaches around 6.50$. This should provide a satisfactory returnas the contracts gets deeper in the money.
