#Gold #WallSt As it’s the time of year, when we’re subjected to extraordinary efforts by Coke to convince the world they invented Christmas. There are certainly some signals the share price is limbering up to display a bit of fizz anytime soon, though this may be something to do with a few recent articles lauding Coca Cola for their track record in paying dividends. And we also cannot ignore the fact the share price has experienced a stonking 33% rise this year against the background of a FTSE which has “only” achieved 21% so far. To avoid inflicting pain, we’re NOT going to compare the FTSE with other world markets yet as we plan such a depressing initiative for closer to the year end.
Locally in Argyll, we lack the visibility of corporate Coca Cola trucks, and the lack of any train lines means we are deprived of ever seeing the mythical Coke goods train. But instead, we suffer something rather better looking, the Jingle Tractors. A few enthusiasts of old tractors decorate their machines, add lights, attach an open trailer, and tour the area with the trailers full of kids while speakers blare out traditional Christmas tunes. As the event takes place just after dark, it’s impossible not to smile (and wish you were aboard) the mobile traffic jams of good cheer, utterly devoid of any corporate sponsorship. When the tractors arrive at the local town, they are greeted with a snow covered scene, complete with several fat, lazy, reindeer. Needless to say, the reindeer offended someone who wrote a letter to the local paper, complaining of the “exploited” animals while ignoring their impeccable coats and smug, healthy demeanour. We do have a local deer farm, producing something called “Winston Churchill Venison” whose farm shop provide a superb range of butchered Bambi. During the year, the small herd of tame reindeer wander around the farm, carefully checking every visitor in case they’ve also brought snacks.
The immediate situation for Coke has a vague hint the share price shall behave in a fashion similar to a 2 litre cola bottle, dropped from the boot of a car and rolling down the drive, when unloading a shopping. Somehow, grandchildren seem to have a sixth sense to avoid such a gift! Share price movement next above 3,842p has the potential to trigger share price movements to an initial 3,917p with our secondary, if bettered, at 3,967p and probable hesitation.
In the event of future closure above 3,967p, things become quite interesting as a future 4,293p should make itself known as a longer term attraction.
Our alternate scenario, if Coke decides to lose its fizz, expects movement below 3,417p to trigger reversals down to an initial 2,932 with our secondary, if broken, at 2,550p and visually, a level from which a bounce should occur. But overall, our suspicion is for the future to produce share price growth.

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.
