A chum, who I regularly ask to “assist” when chainsawing, can be a really critical armchair expert, almost too fussy when we go into the forest hunting trees. But he is handy when heavy wood needs lifted. A few months ago, he borrowed my chainsaw and his wife phoned today, asking if I’d visit and trim some trees. I explained they already have the saw, she explained he’s actually too afraid to turn it on and is now in shock, due to receiving a quote from a tree surgeon.
Suddenly, a lot of things became clear. He likes the idea of doing lumberjack stuff, wearing the protective gear, carrying an axe, but when it comes to the dangerous physics attached to dropping a tree, he’s a great big wimp. Or perhaps someone sensible who questions his own limits… But no worries, we’re visiting next weekend and I know where my supply of firewood for next winter is coming from, always assuming I don’t drop a tree into their conservatory or garage roof.
This inspiration brings us rather neatly to Woodbois Ltd, listed on the AIM and involved in the production, process and supply of sustainable hardwood from Africa. Hopefully the company bottom line enjoys a boost from the exorbitant increase in timber prices over the last year rather than the absurd prices “just” being a facet of supply chain issues in Europe and North America. Such is the increase in costs, rather than buy a support for a log shelter canopy, it proved easy to use a couple of 2 metre straight branches from a walnut tree in the garden. Visually the end result proved quite pleasing too.
The last 7 sessions for Woodbois share price have proven quite useful and now, movement above just 8p should bring a visit to 8.5p next. While perhaps not the most inspiring movement, we’ve been awaiting this break upward for a year. Above 8.5p and things become more interesting, suggesting ongoing growth in the direction of 9.6p. But realistically, we must concede the price shall be trading in a zone where a longer term 12.5p is shining brighter than the checkout values at a timber yard.
For everything to go horribly wrong for Woodbois, the price needs tumble below the point of Blue trend break on the chart, around 4.5p. The implications of such a movement risk a visit to 2.6p, a level we cannot calculate below without using minus signs!.

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.

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.
