#Gold #SP500 Adopting their name from a bleak village in the Scottish Highlands (Braemar, famous for highland games and royalty prowling around), the illusion of Braemar vanishes with summer as the reality of its location at 1,000 feet in the mountains makes itself known. The “twee” village mostly shuts down, so don’t expect to buy a coffee on a grotty day or find somewhere to warm up after a session at the nearby (occasionally) excellent Glenshee ski area. But the faux respectability from the name “Braemar” has been adopted by many company names.
Our favourite adoption of a name will always be The London Stores on the roadside in a place called Badcall, Sutherland. The tiny little shop has always been overloaded with everything imaginable, becoming hated during childhood as I was expected to cycle the tortuous 4 miles from our cottage to collect a daily newspaper, when the papers were delivered around 4pm. Back then, neither TV nor Radio signals made it to that part of Scotland, creating a situation where newspapers were not only trusted but relied upon as a source of information. Additionally, my parents used the telephone in the local hotel bar as an excuse to go out at night, just to check on their business’s in Glasgow (drink/drive laws were more a suggestion then)… Few things were more annoying than arriving at The London Stores and discovering the papers has been delayed, usually due to issues with the railway line from London, some 750 miles south. Usually it was raining but Mr McKay at the shop would always have a refreshing cup of tea, while I waited. It is difficult to explain these circumstances even to other adults, the idea of such a separation from “real life” on the UK mainland, difficult to comprehend, even if it was around just 50 years ago. But I’ve never forgotten “The London Stores”, thankfully remaining in business and with substantially better parking than in the olden days. And of course, newspapers arrive early in the day, though in far fewer quantities than in days of yore! The Kinlochbervie area in Sutherland is no longer a communications black hole.
As for ship brokers Braemar Plc, their share price has certainly been lacking some lustre this year, doing quite a lot of meaningless messing around and failing to establish any confident suggestion of direction. It is certainly the case where below 210p (Red) would now present concern, theoretically capable of triggering reversals down to an initial 175 with our secondary, if broken, an eventual 120p and hopefully a rebound.
The company would need experience gains above 281p (Blue) to give some solid evidence the share price intends enter a growth cycle, allowing for gains to an impressive initial 437 with our secondary, if bettered, at 554p and capable of challenging the previous all time highs!

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.
