Newbie Question

Simply buying calls, one author I have read list the following criteria.

The Option should have close to 90 days before expiry.
The Option should be trading near or at the money.
The value of the Option should double if your forecast is correct.
Your forecast should require no more than a 10 percent advance in the stock within the specified time.

The author also recommends buying at least 90 day calls and selling them in 60 days.

I don't see options that allow a double over 60 days with a 10 percent rise in stock price.

My question is this a reasonable expectation or is the author blowing smoke?
