Recommendation

Year end results proved to be quite a disappointment for Flamel Technologies S. A. This led investors to surrender their shares at a rapid pace. Current prices offer a very attractive position and interesting returns. Acquiring them now will prove great if the stocks does not go under 10%.

Entry strategy

For the cautious investor:

Buy the stock for 6$ or less.

For the risk-taking trader:

The September 2011 7.50$ out-of-the-money call option contract seems to be the right position to take, they can be acquired for about 55$ per contract.

Exit Strategy

For the cautious investor:

Sell when the stock reaches 7.50$, or keep it until 8$ 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 7.50$. This should provide a satisfactory return if the underlying reaches the target price as the contracts will get in the money.
