Price at trade post: $43.20
Option Strategy: calendar call spread

Reasoning: [private_monthly]WAG[/private_monthly] is fundamentally strong and has found nice support at its 50 day average. We're looking for this stock to trade up just slightly to $44 by June expiration. If the stock closes under $44 by June expiration, we'll have taken in an uncalled return 13% and we'll then look to sell another near term call option.

Max Reward: $269 or 49% by Jun 2011 expiration
Profit Range: $42.10 - $46.30
Max Profit at: $44 by Jun 2011 expiration
