Dykstra: Infosys Brings Global Views

Earlier this week, I stressed the benefits of companies that have a global viewpoint for my deep in-the-money calls strategy. Companies that produce significant foreign revenue are especially attractive right now, as they will allow me to strengthen the odds of success and improve my ability to make fundamentally sound choices, even in the midst of market uncertainty.

Overnight, the Asian and European markets felt the effects of the U.S. subprime mortgage woes and took a header. This only reinforces the need to trade in fundamentally sound companies. As I have said before, the cream always rises to the top. The relative strength of a company will show itself eventually, and when this happens, the stock will move back up, and DITM call holdings will close out for a win.

With today's pick, I am traveling to the Far East, as my selection has corporate headquarters in Bangalore, India, along with offices in North America, Europe and in the Asia Pacific region, providing a real global presence and solid international footprint. Infosys Technologies (INFY - commentary - Cramer's Take) provides information technology-enabled business services. One key component of the business model is outsourced IT solutions and systems integration.

Infosys prides itself as being the best in the business, and it boasts impressive partners, such as Microsoft (MSFT - commentary - Cramer's Take), Oracle (ORCL - commentary - Cramer's Take), IBM (IBM - commentary - Cramer's Take), Sun Microsystems (SUNW - commentary - Cramer's Take) and BEA Systems (BEAS - commentary - Cramer's Take).
