#Gold #Nasdaq From a personal perspective, a visit to one of my wifes favourite stores is always quite relaxing, opting to stay in the car and have a nap while she peruses a bunch of junk she probably saw online months previously c/o Temu, usually at a lower price. However, I’d be the first to concede B&M has one major advantage, allowing prospective buyers to see the real life size of products, feel the real life quality of products, and pause to consider whether “real life” even needs the product! The last year has seen my wife engage in a battle against the tupperware cupboard in our kitchen, one of these eye level jenga traps when you only discover how badly everything has been put away by opening the door, fending off a cascade of empty containers.
Suddenly, all our tupperware type containers were replaced with round collapsible containers, devices which took a lot less space than tupperware types but unfortunately also enjoying a couple of issues. Firstly, they can only take a certain number of dish washer cycles, secondly they appear to dislike time spent in freezers, and finally, the lids can be an absolute sod to remove. Long story short, we’re returning to time tested and proven kitchen containers. my wife strongly suggesting I design a sensible way of storing the things which doesn’t involve a plastic tsunami. The obvious problem, easily forgotten, came from the sheer size and range of tupperware plastic. By opting to only keep three different sizes of containers, storage becomes considerably easier.
Long story short, this chocolate weekend (Easter) involves a trip across to the mainland, visiting B&M for traditional storage containers, Aldi for steaks. And of course, the real reason, friends we have not seen since last Xmas who’ve been moving into a 300 year old “new” house, a relic from an age before the fragrant nobility of Scotland sold their own country for a pittance, sparking civil revolt among the population who’d been denied any vote.
However, what really inspired about this weekend trip was the realisation it’s been an age since we took a Big Picture review of B&M, there being a risk my wifes forthcoming raid on their stock of plastic containers shall be reflected in any future financial results!
Since 2022, the share price has been erratic, celebrating the start of 2025 by breaking below the Red uptrend in a very deliberate fashion. This brought a bottom of 254p and created a situation where movement below such a level threatens discounts to an initial 186p with our secondary, if broken, a silly sounding ultimate bottom of just 37p.
But our converse scenario is more hopeful, demanding the share price close above just 325p to trigger a vivid change of potentials for the longer term. Any share price increase such as this would strongly indicate the potential of a lift to an initial 385p with our secondary, if bettered, at 420p. Or perhaps even 476p, in the event the market decides to repay some of the circled trading gaps.
Have a good Easter break and hopefully, a finally enjoyable Grand Prix weekend. We shall return on Tuesday morning next week, starting with our popular Live Market futures.

Please remember, all prices are mid-price (halfway between the Buy and Sell). When we refer to a price CLOSING above a specific level, we are viewing the point where we can regard a trend as changing. Otherwise, we are simply speculating on near term trading targets. Our website is www.trendsandtargets.com.
UPDATE. We often give an initial and a secondary price. If the initial is exceeded, we still expect it to fall back but the next time the initial is bettered, the price should continue to the secondary. The converse it true with price drops.
