Recommendation
The recent earnings report seemed to disappoint investors even if profits for the previous quarter and revenue guidance for the rest of the year came in better than expected. At current prices, a long positions will yield good returns for investors.
Entry strategy
For the cautious investor:
Buy the stock for 53$ or less.
For the risk-taking trader:
The October 2011 55$ out-of-the-money call option contract seems to be the right position to take, they can be acquired for about 360$ per contract.
Exit Strategy
For the cautious investor:
Sell when the stock reaches 60$, or keep it until 64$ if you are more bullish in your own analysis.
For the risk-taking trader:
The contracts should be kept until the underlying reaches around 60$. This should provide a satisfactory return if the underlying reaches the target price as the contracts will get in the money.
