#Gold #FTSE There’s a classic set of circumstances for share prices, when a company reports something punters feel is positive, yet the share price crashes. Vistry managed this neat trick, their price dropping 25.6% despite reporting an impressive rise in profits, despite completing fewer development completions within the full year being reported. And their boss announced his retirement, freeing the company up for younger more dynamic management, a concept which will probably prove to be utter nonsense.
Of course, while the stock market certainly pays attention to historical results, it’s also likely to throw a hissy fit if a set of results includes mention of future reduced margins, along with the potential of future “challenges”. Share prices are obviously predicated on future potentials for a company rather than something they’ve already done! Investors often have a severe problem with such a concept, failing to comprehend a share price is more attracted to the future, rather than the past.
The current tantrum being pulled by Vistry share price isn’t particularly pleasant, movement below 421 calculating with the potential of reversal down to an initial 376p with our secondary, if broken, working out at a grim looking 281p. The funny thing, our 376p calculation is being promoted as a very possible “bottom”, a price level from which a bounce should be anticipated. This is where life gets interesting.
The share price “only” needs exceed 504p on a bounce to inject substantial hope for the future, propelling the price above Red on the chart, giving a confident looking ambition at an initial 557 with our secondary, if beaten, working out at a pretty happy value of 630p.

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. Hopefully, this will mean you no longer need to flip back through previous reports. HYPERLINKS DISABLED IN THIS VERSION
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.
