COMMENTARY

TASER INTERNATIONAL (TASR) TRADE DRIVERS:

* Pessimism continues to mount toward TASR. The equity's Schaeffer's
put/call open interest ratio of 0.86 is resting near a six-month high.

* Furthermore, roughly 30 million shares have been sold short, making TASR
the 15th most shorted stock on the Nasdaq in number of shares. In
addition, approximately 60 percent of the equity's float have been sold
short. An unwinding of these bearish bets could fuel a substantial rally
in the shares.

* Wall Street continues to ignore the security, with only one analyst
following the firm. Any additional coverage could spur further gains for
the shares.

* The last three times the stock's 30-day historical volatility fell
sharply, the shares enjoyed a strong rally. In early April, TASR shot 51
percent higher and then gained 88 percent again in mid-June. In early
September, the stock advanced almost 50 percent following a drop in its
historical volatility.

* Technically speaking, the equity broke out above a bullish symmetrical
triangle formation on December 20, suggesting that higher prices are in
TASR's future.

* One concern is the more than 32,000 calls at the stock's January 30
strike. This accumulation of bullish bets is equal to about 23 percent of
the stock's last 20 day's average volume. This out-of-the-money call open
interest could provide some potential options-related resistance. However,
the equity's February 30 call is home to only 2,500 contracts at the
moment.

REVIEW OF RECOMMENDATION: Buy the TASER International February 27.50 call
(QURBY) at a maximum entry price of 4.50. We will closely monitor this
position and contact you immediately with updated instructions should our
expectations change.
