#Stoxx #Dax Only one thing is more frightening than trying to map aviation industry shares and it’s having a competitive 11 year old grand-daughter. Along with her older sister, she’s visiting this weekend and has not forgotten my throwaway comment that “Next time, you and I shall have a real competition on the shooting range!” Her mum tells me she’s not forgotten and is looking forward to humiliating me this coming weekend. As a result, spending the afternoon charging around with the lawnmower to mulch leafs, then another hour marking up 40 paper plates as targets, and finally, installing a 3.3v electric motor which will drag soft toys through the air among the trees 50 yards away, hopefully I’ve done sufficient to make the day a challenge. I’ve even emplaced a couple of 9 volt batteries, waiting to supply current to a couple of Brillo pads sitting in petrol. As a result, we’ve each got 54 targets to challenge us with a maximum score of 540 points.
Of course, once fairly comfortable the shooting range was challenging, reviewing the weather for the coming weekend was a mistake. It rains here in Argyll and of course, the weekend is projected to be a complete washout. Few things are less fun than using a target rifle in the rain and I suspect this 11 year old little girl will decide chilling in front of the latest movies will prove to be a better use of her time. Unless, of course, I decide to do something with a chainsaw or discover an excuse to use the tractor. Her big sister, meanwhile, will doubtless spend the weekend baking due to being given free run of the kitchen. And their mum, invariably, will take her usual stance, going for long naps on the basis Mum ‘n Dad will take over control of the children while she lets her brain turn off. She managed to sleep through the weekend when the girls were cheerfully exploding 2 ltr soft drinks bottles which had been pressurised. During summer, it was quite funny when the older child asked if she could bring a school chum for the weekend, we suspect for verification of what the girls could do. She started to lose enthusiasm after discovering chucking a few tons of wood over the cliff to the cutting area was quite hard. While she’d enjoyed her shooting experience, our gun/range safety and rules session clearly bored her and she was unimpressed at learning how to strip, clean, and lubricate the rifle following an extended session on the range area. Teenage girls can have some silly expectations.
The funny thing is the two older girls somehow had the best time ever, when my wife dropped them at one end of the towns High St, their challenge being to go to a curry place and pickup some food. Then they’d to go around 10 shop units further to pick up Fish & Chips on the other side of the road. Finally, the girls had the long walk to the Chinese takeaway (The River Jade – excellent) to uplift the final food order, a point at which my wife was going to meet them. The girls, obviously, had window shopped during their trip, along with watching the inevitable drunken “hen” parties who think they’ve had an original idea of visiting a seaside town. The two thirteen year olds talked incessantly about their walk through the town, apparently the most fun they could have had. Perhaps this weekend, we shall simply ditch the grand-daughters at one of the sea front cafe’s and pick them up by 8pm.
Of course, this has nothing to do with British Airways (IAG) aside from suggesting the share price has behaved like a moody teenager since 2021. But now, while trading around 212p, it’s at the edge of becoming useful. According to our most recent calculation, above 218.5p should transform the price into a place of optimism, calculating with the potential of a lift to an initial 234p with our secondary, if bettered, at am eventual 265p.. In fact, overall, we shall be forced to assign a distant 285p as a number exerting an influence on the share price.
Aside from optimism, due to the share behaving like a couple of teenage girls walking the length of a seaside High St at 6pm, we’ve considerable hope for AIG and just wish the company would discover a more straightforward company name.. Maybe they’d consider British Iberia Group which would lend a superb share price Epic code.

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.
