Entry strategy
For the cautious investor:
Buy the stock for 27$ or less.
For the risk-taking trader:
The June 2011 27.50$ out-of-the-money call option contract seems to be the right position to take, they can be acquired for about 140$ per contract.
Exit Strategy
For the cautious investor:
Sell when the stock reaches 30$, or keep it until 33$ if you are more bullish in your own analysis.
For the risk-taking trader:
The contracts should be kept until the underlying reaches around 30$. This should provide a satisfactory return if the underlying reaches the target price as the contracts will get in the money.
