Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Jonathan Buck]

  IT management software and solutions provider CA Inc. (CA) can continue its resurgence with a focus on innovation.

  Early signs are encouraging. The company, formerly known as Computer Associates, is highly profitable. Its problem is a steady decline in revenue that has persisted for seven straight quarters.

  If you take a look over the last several years, we lost our innovation edge, Chief Executive Mike Gregoire said in an interview on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos. And over the last year that is the No! . 1 thing that I have been trying to put in place. You can structure deals and use financial engineering to a certain extent, package more things together and show growth, but at the end of the day you have to build great software that is highly differentiated and (that) people want.

  Since joining CA a year ago, Gregoire has been trying to sharpen CAs blunted edge. He has closed fragmented engineering shops, opened an R&D center in Silicon Valley and is trying to get ahead of the technology curve to deliver the products that customers will want in two years time.

  This innovation is not something you do some of the time, you have to do it all of the time, Gregoire said.

  We are on a treadmill, he added. We have to keep the products that we currently have innovative and differentiated, and we have to be looking to what the market needs over time to make sure we are highly relevant in the largest markets.

  He sees huge potential from mainframe applications to distributed applications to the cloud. CA, which competes with the likes of Oracle (ORCL) and International Business Machines(IBM), will have customers on all three platforms, which will need to be managed, and applications and security closely monitored. There is lots of room for us to innovate, said Gregoire. He has cut 1,200 jobs, and is looking to revitalize sales and marketing, too.

  The chart of CA (CA) doesn't need much introduction -- it's about as simple as a technical pattern gets. CA is currently bouncing higher in an uptrending channel, a setup that gives us a very high probability r! ange for ! shares of CA to remain within. Here's how to trade it.

  Trendline support is the price level to watch right now in CA -- it's been the floor that's kept CA bouncing higher each of the last five times it's been tested. Even though it generally makes sense to be a buyer anywhere in an uptrend, the ideal time to buy comes on a bounce off of support.

  Buying off a support bounce makes sense for two big reasons: It's the spot where shares have the furthest to move up before they hit resistance, and it's the spot where the risk is the least (because shares have the least room to move lower before you know you're wrong). With little room between the trendline support line and CA's most recent price, this week looks like as good a time as any to start building a position.

  It's certainly not on par with International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM) and Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL), at least in terms of size. But, shares of CA, Inc. (NASDAQ:CA) do offer something that ORCL and IBM shares may not offer at this point... a lot of upside opportunity. In fact, if history is any indication, CA may be on the cusp of 40% pop, and maybe even more.
