Buy the stock for 33$ or less.
For the risk-taking trader:
As the company has no publicly traded option contracts, the use of leverage might be the way to get some excess return on this position.
Exit Strategy
For the cautious investor:
Sell when the stock reaches 36$, or keep it until 37$ if you are more bullish in your own analysis.
For the risk-taking trader:
Same strategy as for the cautious investor.
