We finally remembered to take a glance at the German market again, hoping to find a share worthy of some examination. There are numerous facilities on the internet, giving lists of the most active shares on markets. For Germany, Steinhoff topped the list, even meriting a “Strong Buy” rating though we’re not familiar with the process used for such a definition.
The company, Steinhoff International, are a South African/German/Dutch company with listings SA and Germany. They deal mainly in furniture and household goods, operating worldwide and a trawl of the corporate website was surprising, insofar as we’d never heard of the company despite their massive presence. Then again, here in the UK, we notice the company ‘Poundland’ are one of their subsidiaries, literally the only company name we recognised from UK high streets. Perhaps our island is simply too small to deserve notice.
Something quite peculiar happened the other day with Steinhoff share price. Just after 2pm on Monday, it was spiked down to 0.06 Euro, recovering within half an hour and is presently trading around 0.215 Euro. Over the years, we’ve learned to pay attention to spikes are they can easily be used by the markets to generate movement of some strength. However, our favourite flavour of spikes generally take place at the market open, rather than half way through the trading day. With the aggressive nature of this particular drop and recovery, even if it was simply a “fat finger” moment, we suspect the market shall doubtless use the added bandwidth to provide some future gains.
As the chart below highlights, the drop on Monday, while taking the price momentarily below the Blue downtrend, saw the share close in an area of safety. It’s easy to feel sorry for the folk who thought their ‘Stop Loss’ level was safe, tucked discreetly below a 3 year old trend.
As a result, movement next exceeding 0.24 Euro looks very capable of producing recovery toward an initial 0.30 Euro. If bettered, our longer term calculation gives 0.46 as a reasonable ambition sometime in the future.
Trends and Targets. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

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.
