Recommendation
The Koninklijke Philips Electronics conglomerate saw it's shares plunge after reporting first quarter financials that were very disappointing. Most of the losses were due to the TV unit. The company plans to sell the unit to raise cash for more profitable operations and this will prove to be beneficial for shareholders opening a long position now.

Entry strategy
For the cautious investor:
Buy the stock for 30$ or less.

For the risk-taking trader:
The July 2011 30$ out-of-the-money call option contract seems to be the right position to take, they can be acquired for about 175$ per contract.

Exit Strategy
For the cautious investor:
Sell when the stock reaches 33$, or keep it until 34$ if you are more bullish in your own analysis.

For the risk-taking trader:
The contracts should be kept until the underlying reaches around 33$. This should provide a satisfactory return if the underlying reaches the target price as the contracts will get in the money.
