#FTSE #DowJones We had a bit of a “Wait, what?” moment at the news TripAdvisor rates The “Witchery”, Edinburgh, as the 3rd Best Fine Dining Experience in the Entire World. We’ve eaten there a few times and while it is “okay”, we’d only visited for the unusual ambience rather than being entranced by the cuisine. For good food in the town, there are quite a few other places worth a visit, especially NOT during the Edinburgh Festival. In fact, even locally here in Argyll, there are a couple of eateries which overshadow the Witchery. To be clear, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the Edinburgh restaurant but the “3rd Best” accolade is questionable.
Also questionable are some of the headlines dancing around the subject of another company in the food industry, Ocado Group. Some pundits are jumping on the “it will never be this cheap” bandwagon but we’ve doubts, very real doubts. A quick glance at Microsoft News to look for hints of dark clouds which may be affecting share price movements discovered a few issues capable of elevating an eyebrow. (We’re increasingly eschewing Google News as a source, often feeling bias is being allowed to colour search results.)
Ocado Group enjoy a Red uptrend since 2013 and movements in the last few sessions tend indicate the market it perfectly aware of the pretty red line. The share price has now slithered below Red, indicating the share price is just a bad news story away from trouble. The chart extracts below highlight the reason for our concern, early days but no less dangerous. Thankfully, the share price need only close above 229p to greatly alleviate our concern.
If trouble decides to come to fruition – as we expect – below 218p risks triggering reversal on Ocado down to a nice sounding discount price of 155p. While such a level sounds as attractive as a decent avocado, we suspect 155p shall break, opening the door for a longer term 75p which visually should make a viable entry point. But importantly, Ocado do not offer deliveries here in Argyll, grudgingly admitting the cost of such a service doesn’t work due to our plethora of islands and exorbitant ferry prices.
Should Ocado decide to clamber out of trouble, above 308p should prove capable of a surprise lift to 395 with our secondary, if beaten, at 458p.

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.
