Recommendation
On March 31st, Xyratex Ltd issued a statement establishing it's revenue guidance for the secund quarter of 2011. It proved to be disappointing for investors who were quick to get rid of their shares. From a technical standpoint, the company offers good potential returns, but it is interesting to note the that Xyratex Ltd also offers excellent value from a fundamental point of view. Further analysis would be required for a thorough fundamental analysis but current prices make it attractive to engage a long position for this quarter.
Entry strategy
For the cautious investor:
Buy the stock for 11$ or less.
For the risk-taking trader:
The August 2011 10$ in-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 13$, or keep it until 17$ 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 13$. This should provide a great return if the underlying reaches the target price as the contracts will get in the money.
