Recommendation
As many stock brokers, TD Ameritrade is currently undervalued because of low volume on many stock exchanges. This is a play for those seeing an increase in the trading volume in the coming months.

Entry strategy
For the cautious investor:
Buy the stock for 19.50$ or less.

For the risk-taking trader:
The June 2011 19$ out-of-the-money call option contract seems to be the right position to take, they can be acquired for about 150$ per contract.

Exit Strategy
For the cautious investor:
Sell when the stock reaches 22$, or keep it until 23$ if you are more bullish in your own analysis.

For the risk-taking trader:
The contracts should be kept until the underlying reaches 22$. This should provide a very interesting return if the underlying reaches the target price as the contracts will get in the money.
