#GOLD #Stoxx50 It looks like our commentary about Mitie back in April of this year has proven correct. With the company announcing they were buying back some of their issued shares, the implication is obviously of their petty cash box brimming over. Our comment; “The company, amongst many other things hold the accolade of being the largest provider of immigration centres in the UK, and we can speculate the market assume this contract as being a growth area due to the government seemingly throwing money at the issue” certainly appears prescient, the share price achieving our target levels earlier this year and is now deserving a new analysis, not least due to a happy 14.1% UP day.
There are a couple of important details about the flamboyant gain.
The share price exceeded and closed above the Blue downtrend since 2017. This “may” prove important but importantly, it neither closed higher than the movements back in June this year, nor did intraday movements exceed the highs of June. While we may be accused of being fussy in our demands for clear signals, we’re certainly a little nervous as to the share prices immediate ambitions as we really need it above 160p before we shall dare setting off a pound shop party popper.
However, from a Big Picture perspective, considerable hope is now justified, share price closure next above 160p calculating as capable of triggering movement to 206p next with our secondary, if bettered, an impressive but logical looking future 266p. Overall, should the price ever close above 200p, we shall view a far distant 367 as being a target price exerting an influence.
Should things intend go wrong, the share price needs slither below 135p to cause trouble, risking provoking travel downhill to an initial 113p and hopefully a bounce. In the event such a level breaks, our longer term secondary calculates at 67p.
But on the bright side, the coming Grand Prix from Austin, TX, is generally quite entertaining. Why don’t they open the event with an Austin A40 with bets on whether the horrible little British car could complete a single lap of the circuit without breaking down. Being able to learn to drive in “the compound” of my family motor trade business, the 1970’s meant being spoiled for choice of the range of derelicts which ran. Some had more than one gear, some had working breaks, and for this 7 year old, it was nirvana. But deciding a Ford Anglia (with no brakes) was better to drive than an Austin A40 (where everything worked ) spoke volumes about Austin, even though the Ford Anglia was also to become the first car I wrote off, running into the heavy compound gates which promptly fell backwards onto the car. Needless to say, my exploits with the junk cars were severely curtailed thereafter, unless someone was pretending to supervise my efforts at teaching myself to drive. Many years later, a friend bought an Austin A40 with the intention of restoring it. He was horrified, perhaps insulted, by my utter distaste for the awful vehicle. He eventually sold it, virtually untouched, as a “project” car.

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.
