Recommendation
Back in February 2011, Lumber Liquidators Holdings issued guidance for their 2011 revenue barely in line with what analysts were expecting. This sent the stock falling from quite a high cliff and it pretty much hovered around those prices since then. Because a more recent drop, shares of this company are offering a great entry point for the coming quarter.
Entry strategy
For the cautious investor:
Buy the stock for 24.50$ or less as it is currently in a uptrend.
For the risk-taking trader:
The August 2011 25$ 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 29$, or keep it until 33$ if you are more bullish in your own analysis.
For the risk-taking trader:
The contracts should be kept until the underlying reaches around 29$. This should provide a satisfactory return if the underlying reaches the target price as the contracts will get in the money.
