Stub out BAT

Shares in the cigarette giant are worth selling short
July 24, 2012

Despite having puffed upwards by almost 15 per cent in almost two months, shares in BAT now look to be a habit worth kicking, says Ragu Dharmaratnam of Baselica.

The cigarette giant's share price has pulled back to below that key brown up-trend line, and this is suggestive of further weakness to come. The negative state of its MACD momentum indicator supports this view. Go short below £32.50, initially targeting £31 and then £30.
