Turbochef Technologies (OVEN)

recently reported TURBO CHARGED EARNINGS The maker of fast cook ovens has been a target of short sellers for a while but with the stock poised for a breakout, those shorts appear to be pressing their luck. I am looking for the stock to make a run for the 20 dollar level and I am long the January 17.50 calls. I think a reasonable stop is near 15.50.
