#Gold #Nasdaq It was an easy decision which made us opt to review BAE Systems tonight. We’ve had more helicopters flying low overhead on Monday evening than occurred during Covid Lockdowns, when rather a few of the great and good were making their way to their homes in Argyll or superyachts parked discretely in our lochs with their AIS Transponders turned off. One night, it was quite fascinating tracking a flight above our house as it headed to Loch Fyne, opting to land in an area the computer defined as open water. Thankfully, we knew a big boat was parked exactly there. But tonight’s helicopters come from a quite different league, the rotor sound very different from the lightweight jobs used by millionaires.
In plain English, it sounds like the military are playing games, things becoming exciting when one heavy helicopter sped low up the glen, dropping to almost water level on the sea outside before sharply rising and vanishing above the mountain in our back garden! Shortly afterward, another helicopter was heard moving extremely fast, chasing off in the direction of the initial machine. I guess we must point out the logical direction each was travelling was toward the secret nuclear submarine base or the secret NATO nuclear weapon store at Glen Douglas (a seriously scary place). To be honest, we’re always fairly re-assured we’ve a mountain between us and them, though as the crow flies, the distance is really not great even though we never hear the weekly test of the base Emergency Alarm.
But when the rhetoric and sabre rattling starts to amplify itself, it is also a worry when the military start running active aerial exercises around our quaint local nuclear weapon “country store”. When the grown ups start practicing worst case scenario during drama queen periods, it certainly concentrates the mind as to what is really going on. And of course, all of this does not do any harm to those companies who depend on the military buying things to store in our local “shoppe”.
Obviously, this brings us to BAE Systems Plc, a company whose share price has been soaring higher than missiles which have lost their guidance.
The immediate situation for LSE:BA. is fairly useful, suggesting share price growth above 2014p should trigger another lift to an initial 2075p and again, some slight hesitation. Our “longer term” secondary target calculates at 2205p, should the initial ambition be exceeded. Obviously, some patience shall be required.
If things intend go square shaped, the price needs below 1760p to justify panic, calculating with the potentials of reversal to an initial 1658 with our secondary, if broken, down at 1530p and a very possible rebound..
From reviewing price movements, we shall not be surprised if BAE share price decides to explore the dubious benefit of reversals.

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.
