#Gold #S&P500 Of all the days where we needed Argyll to do something stupid and provide padding for our headline article, Monday failed totally. The only standout event of the day was at 8am, when a beam of light broke through the clouds, illuminating a ferry moored outside and making it look like it was the subject of a filming session. This brief reminder of the suns existence doubtless will have inspired the ferry company, giving them a sunlight excuse for another price increase for the hideously expensive return trip across to the mainland. The trip can be as quick as 10 minutes but more commonly 15 minutes, the company charging 49 quid for a car & driver trip, a 30%+ increase over the last couple of years and one which shall doubtless not be reversed despite all other prices coming down.
As for Shell share price, things have become a little messy, the price needing to close a session above 2642p to escape the immediate shambolic behaviour. To be fair. Shells share price is mimicking the price of crude oil, behaving like a Golden Retriever who wants to go out, so she can want to come in again. Brent Crude wants to go down, yet continues to fall into any sort of logical trap as the markets feel determined not to be caught out by a crisis in the Middle East.
To be blunt, it’s all starting to feel a bit like Ukraine, a world situation where the world has essentially grown bored with what’s going on.
If we pretend optimism, Shell share price closing a session above 2642p should be important, potentially triggering share price recovery to an initial 2800p with our secondary, if bettered, at an unlikely 3048p and a new high.
More probable, if things intend go wrong, below 2400p should next trigger reversal to an initial 2261 with our secondary, if broken, at 1959p and hopefully a rebound.
If summary, their share price movements are as chaotic as Western Ferries ticket price gouging, a Norwegian company anxious to extract as must profit as possible from the area.. But their shipboard staff are simply the best folk around, a considerable change from their admin staff who are forced to adhere to corporate policy. (Attending hospital on the mainland, 4 days a week for 5 weeks, became expensive very quickly)

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.
