Recommendation

The company recently provided a quite poor revenue outlook to analysts for the fiscal year 2011. This caused the share to plunge to unprecedented levels. At current prices, this is certainly a great entry point in the stock.

Entry strategy

For the cautious investor:

Buy the stock for 7.25$ or less but stay informed for coming developments and most importantly, the light support if the stock comes to pass across it.

For the risk-taking trader:

A position in the June 2011 2.50$ call option will yield a satisfactory return to investors, they can be acquired for about 75$ per contract.

Exit Strategy

For the cautious investor:

Sell when the stock reaches 3.30$, or keep it until 4.50$ if you are more bullish in your own analysis.

For the risk-taking trader:

The contracts should be kept until the underlying reaches around 3.30$, 4.50 if you are more bullish. This should provide a very interesting return if the underlying reaches the target price as the contracts will get deeper in the money.
