Open A Buy Bet In The Legal & General Rolling Spread

Says TopSpreadBets.com

The Bet ( today's free share tip): We recommend opening a buy bet in the rolling Legal & General (LGEN) spread at £50 a penny when the quote is standing at 77p - 78p. The target is 95p initially and the stop loss is 64p for a risk of £600 at our suggested wager.

The Fundamental View: We are backing a buy bet in insurer L&G in the wake of last month's trading update when the group said that it had double its UK net cash position, a feat that even beat its own predictions. This was despite the way that sales for last year were modestly lower. Nevertheless, we are backing L&G as a buy bet on the basis of the cash generation, as well as the prospect of consolidation in the sector from either the Resolution (RSL) consolidation vehicle or other parties in the wake of the massive Prudential deal for AIG's Asian business. We regard this as just the start of a major M&A shakeup of the insurance industry.

Open a buy bet in Legal & General on sector recovery and consolidation hopes.



The Technical View: We are recommending a buy bet in the L&G rolling spread on the basis of 200 day moving average rebound buy signal at 73p on the daily chart after the post January retracement in the stock. Only well below the 200 day line at 73p would alter the buy scenario, with the target of post September resistance towards 95p. The stop loss is at 64p is well below the support expected to come in at 70p or above.

Conclusion: Open a buy bet in the Legal & General rolling spread as the uptrend in the stock is maintained.
