#Nasdaq #BrentCrude We usually avoid discussing sub 1p shares and after a glance at GSTechnologies forced by a bunch of emails, we decided to continue the habit. The perpetual problem with penny shares is the spread, the difference between the Buy & Sell price as often, despite a penny share sounding spectacular with intraday movements, the offered spread makes a mockery of what’s really going on. Just today, Tern Plc closed up 29.03% but unfortunately with a spread of 23%, the gain was utterly meaningless. This is the sort of scenario where we delve into our rule book and will announce an instrument requires a CLOSING PRICE in excess of a previous high before we shall dare assume good times are perhaps ahead. In the case of Tern Plc, this demands closure above 0.85p. In the case of GSTechnologies, we would need closure above 0.425 before daring to make any “happy days” assumptions. But in the case of GST.L, these assumptions would commence with thoughts regarding a lift to just over a penny!
Meanwhile, in the real world, we suspect the share price for Marks and Spencer shall be due a break, once “Party Season” erupts. Supermarkets will doubtless be ensuring their stocks of popcorn, along with plenty of party food, remains high while the nation awaits the current Prime Minister to finish negotiating his severance package. Perhaps he shall be designated a new roll as Peace Envoy to quell the famous, yet rebellious Macaroni Penguins in the South Georgia islands. Perhaps he could finally resolve the big question, is Tomato Sauce allowed with Macaroni & Cheese? However, the real entertainment shall doubtless commence with the choice for his successor. Invariably, some sort of political Muppet shall get the top job, panic in under a year, and call an emergency General Election. British politics are a little bit predictable…
Regardless, we shall doubtless be enthralled with political fun and games within the UK, over the next few months. It’s time to stock up on popcorn, wine, enhance M&S sales. and enjoy the comedy show.
Visually, M&S chart isn’t in a happy place, almost as if the market does not anticipate a sales boost with the UK Prime Minister reaching his “sell by” date. Instead, the share price appears poised to enact its own disaster with weakness continuing below 301p pointing at reversals to an initial 275p with our secondary, if broken, at a potential bottom at 227p, matching the lows of 2024. Perhaps a return to the level the share price was, last time our political masters decided to exhibit their incompetence to the UK electorate, is on the cards…
However, if M&S experience a popcorn revolution, the share price needs move above 337p to hopefully trigger movement to an initial 373p with our secondary, if exceeded, calculating at a future 432p
A future such as this shall be worth watching for, giving the price the potential for closing above the “glass ceiling” which exists at the 400p level, an area which has been a problem for the last ten years. Share price closure above this level shall be viewed as a big deal for the future, suggesting a very distant 719p is providing an attraction.
We suspect, despite the immediate dip below the Red uptrend, Marks and Spencer should prove worth watching from a positive viewpoint. Perhaps it shall enact the “This isn’t just any share, this is a Marks & Spencer share” to impress everyone?

SUCCESS above means both FAST & SLOW targets were met. ‘CESS means just the FAST target met and probably the next time it is exceeded, movement to the SLOW target shall commence.
Our commentary is in two sections. Immediately below are today’s updated comments. If our commentary remains valid, the share can be found in the bottom section which has a RED heading. Hopefully, this will mean you no longer need to flip back through previous reports. HYPERLINKS DISABLED IN THIS VERSION
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.
