#Brent #Japan Two things spoiled Sunday. Aside from a contrived decision to shuffle who got to start the race first, a pretty obvious attempt to create controversy and get people watching a seriously boring race, the positions immediately reversed by the leading drivers at the first bend, within a few laps it was decided to do something more interesting. As a result, our little tractor was fired up and 45 minutes spent churning up all the leafs on the lawn, the mulching blades creating perfect food for the grass. And then, there was the second thing which spoiled the day.
To be honest, I don’t really use a mobile phone with my most recent choice being what’s effectively a small tablet with phone functions. This has proven to be a bit of an error as the thing doesn’t fit in a shirt pocket or many inside jacket pockets. Thankfully, my waxed cotton jackets both have inside “poachers pockets”, a pouch which can hold a dead rabbit or a big fish. And in the world of Argyll, they are the ideal place to hold a Samsung Active tablet/phone which, to be fair, is dumped and forgotten on a coffee table when I get home. On Sunday evening, my wife was sorting through a box of Xmas decorations and decided it would be interesting if she took the micro SIM card from her phone and swapped it with mine for a few days. Her reasoning was she hates carrying a Tablet and a mobile, thinking my device would make her happier.
When she slid the micro-SIM carrier tray out of her phone, somehow or other she flicked it, propelling the SD memory card and the SIM card into a black hole. After taking the cushions off the furniture, we discovered the SD memory card but the SIM card was absent. And so, the box of Xmas decor had to be emptied and examined. Twice. Then everything on the coffee table had to be examined, then under the furniture, then the furniture was moved, along with the coffee table. And so it went on, even the cat’s coat being examined, along with the dogs. Eventually, we stopped searching for a break, deciding the play the end of the Grand Prix on fast forward but in doing so, discovering the boring race had stopped being boring. Then we returned to the hunt for the SIM card, even checking the cats window ledge lair (with protective latex gloves) and discovering the thing had been sick a few times. But the SIM card remained invisible, so my wife decided the cure was to take my tablet phone until her mobile company send her a replacement card. She cheerfully points out the last phone call received was two weeks ago, a grand-daughter wishing a happy birthday. And before that had been October, the leukaemia unit doing their best to utterly ruin a Tuesday by being nice.
But the micro-SD card remains vanished, our search achieving forensic levels, though it just dawned on me we didn’t check her computer keyboard. On the marketplace, searching for optimism against Natwest has become a little less difficult, the share price finally managing to close above our 397p trigger level which implies everyone can “bet the farm” on future share price movements. Usual caveats apply, the intellectually challenged may not be aware no sane person should trust a retail bank share price.
However, unlike our missing SD card, it certainly appears Natwest may actually find its way into the future. Currently, above 405p should trigger share price gains to an entirely believable 450p, a nice and tidy 10%+ gain which should challenge the highs from 2014. As a result, the visuals indicate a potential for some hesitation but above 450p, we can calculate an eventual 542p as very possible some time in the future. Perhaps by such a time, we shall have discovered our missing telephone card.
Then again, I could probably become quite used to my wife handling any calls or texts via my phone! The decision to abandon a BT telephone number still seems strange but we’d managed 6 years without anyone calling our “landline”, preferring always to make contact via one of our mobile numbers.
Should Natwest decide to immolate itself on the chart of dreams, their share price currently needs below 357p to introduce real panic. Such a triggering event calculates as capable of pushing reversal to an initial 305 with out secondary, if broke, a very probable bottom at 240p.
For now, we think gains on Natwest may be more probable than us finding this missing SIM card!

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.
