MetLife Offering Possible 12.15% Return Over the Next 18 Calendar Days

MetLife's most recent trend suggests a bearish bias. One trading opportunity on MetLife is a Bear Call Spread using a strike $49.00 short call and a strike $55.00 long call offers a potential 12.15% return on risk over the next 18 calendar days. Maximum profit would be generated if the Bear Call Spread were to expire worthless, which would occur if the stock were below $49.00 by expiration. The full premium credit of $0.65 would be kept by the premium seller. The risk of $5.35 would be incurred if the stock rose above the $55.00 long call strike price.

The 5-day moving average is moving down which suggests that the short-term momentum for MetLife is bearish and the probability of a decline in share price is higher if the stock starts trending.

The 20-day moving average is moving down which suggests that the medium-term momentum for MetLife is bearish.

The RSI indicator is below 20 which suggests that the stock is in oversold territory.

Reuters – A new judge presiding over Bank of America Corp's proposed $8.5 billion settlement with investors in soured mortgage securities on Tuesday postponed entering a final judgment in the case, raising the possibility of additional legal maneuvers. Justice Saliann Scarpulla of New York state court in Manhattan, who took over the case this week, agreed to delay the decision from taking effect until at least Feb. 19, according to lawyers involved in the case. Scarpulla's decision came just four days after Justice Barbara Kapnick approved the settlement with the investors, who had bought securities issued by mortgage lender Countrywide Financial Corp. Bank of America acquired Countrywide during the financial crisis. On Tuesday, American International Group Inc, which led investors who opposed the settlement, sought a further delay.

Court approves Bank of America's $8.5 billion mortgage deal
Sat, 01 Feb 2014 01:17:31 GMT
Reuters – A New York state judge on Friday approved most of Bank of America Corp's (BAC) $8.5 billion settlement with investors over toxic mortgage securities, but left a caveat that could complicate the bank's efforts to implement the deal. Justice Barbara Kapnick ruled that Bank of New York Mellon (BK), the trustee representing investors, had acted mostly in good faith in agreeing to the settlement. But she withheld her approval for one part of the settlement where she said the trustee had not acted reasonably. A spokesman for Bank of America said the bank did not expect that Kapnick's exclusion would hold up the accord.
