#Gold #NK225  While we count the minutes down to Monaco and what’s generally the most boring Grand Prix of the year, it’d be churlish not to review something fuel related. Shell, recently revealing astounding profit levels and surprising levels of PR incompetence at their AGM by allowing climate protesters to invade, while going on to defend their own emissions targets.

What remains funny is the habit of the media in continuing to attribute Shells doubling of profits to Ukraine, ignoring the reality of the jump in oil and gas prices occurring in the 3 months before the Ukraine thing kicked off. Thankfully, the pain of high fuel prices has eased considerably with today, here in Argyll, our local fuel station has Diesel priced at 129p/litre, Unleaded at 134p/litre. Across on the mainland, people are doubtless paying substantially less but fuel extortion is part of the cost of living in a remote area of Scotland.

To be honest, we’re clueless as to what brand of fuel is sold locally but think it’s probably Shell, due to the use of a corporate yellow everywhere in an independent outlet.

 

Since March, Shells share price movements have been just as chaotic as the company recent AGM proved. The value has pretended it’s going to go up, then produced a feint downward which also proved fake. But now, we’re a little worried, thanks to the share price carefully following an invisible path below the Red uptrend since 2020. The chart extract, showing the precise closing prices for each session,

begs the question, is this a warning for coming problems?

 

 

From an immediate perspective, if we take recent behaviour as a sign of nerves, it appears below 2320p risks triggering reversals to an initial 2216p with secondary, if broken, down at 2096p and hopefully a bounce. Just for light relief, we’ve decorated the chart with a 3rd level drop target should the secondary break as 1889p calculates as possible.

 

However, our inclination is to suspect Shell shall discover a reason for a share price boost. Unfortunately, it needs above 2496p to convince us of something useful happening as this works out with the potential of a visit to an initial 2629p with secondary, if bettered, at 2784p and doubtless some hesitation, due to prior highs back in 2018.

*** End of “Updated Today” comments on shares.

#Stocks50 #Nasdaq  As it has been nearly a year since our previous GSK review, we’d hoped for something approaching useful share price behaviour but instead, the company has managed a level of stability usually seen in the banking sector. This, of course, is a polite way of saying “nothing much happening!” which is a surprise. Glancing at their Wiki page, they could inspire an entire franchise of movies capable of challenging ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ or ‘Jason Bourne’ due to an eye watering range of fines levied for corporate misbehaviour and oopsies.

 

However, speaking as someone whose daily diet includes at least 3 of their pharmaceutical products, GSK are obviously a brilliant, innovative, company and one which we should support. But discovering they’d actually managed to get fined in one country for claiming Ribena contained Vitamin C, when none was actually present in the product, was a surprise. The company has now divested themselves of the brand and we’d imagine this little error has now been remedied internationally. And in any case, Ribena is nice, regardless.

 

 

If GSK share price intends cause real trouble in the future, presently below 1330p looks like firing the first warning shot, risking the price sinking below Red on the chart below and finding its way down to an initial 1260, perhaps with a short lived bounce. In such a scenario, we suspect 1260 shall break, with the share price eventually finding a bottom by 1144p and hopefully a proper rebound. There’s a major problem at the 1144 level as any break below calculates with the potential of slippage to 770p eventually.

Currently, absolutely nothing suggests this is a threat.

 

We shall be more interested, if the share price manages to find its way above 1527p, breaking through the immediate Blue downtrend and giving some hope for future recovery. Such a movement works out with the potential ability to climb to an initial 1520p with secondary, if beaten, at 1717p. Above such a level will require us to again view the tea leaves, thanks to potentials which suggest a new all time high is awaiting in the distant future.

*** End of “Updated Today” comments on shares.

#Gold #SP500  A childhood fascination with Wilbur Smith books provided an early introduction to Namibia and the Skeleton Coast**. This big beach remains an unticked box, the ambition to visit finding fertile ground in my 11 year old imagination. A few years ago in Pretoria, the discovery it was quite a bit further for a visit on a whim during a spare weekend, was disappointing. Africa, it turns out, is a big place! Andrada Mining Plc, listed on the AIM, operate in Namibia, thus providing an immediate excuse to review their share price.

 

Visually, there’s clearly something potentially very interesting happening at present as there’s a glass ceiling making itself known at the 6p level. It’s worth considering the implications of this 6p level (okay, 6.05p) as the share price recently exceeded the major downtrend since 2022. This trend was defined by a high of 6.05p at the start of this year and now, should such a level be exceeded, it feels reasonable to anticipate some near term recovery in the share price.

 

The immediate situation calculates with the potential of movement above 6.05p apparently being capable of triggering share price recovery to an initial 7p. Our longer term secondary, if such a level is exceeded, works out at 8.2p, a price level where the visuals indicate an expectation of some hesitation, due to historical movements. To trigger party time for the miner, closure above 8.2p should prove critical for the Big Picture, dumping the price into a zone where a future 11p becomes a reasonable new all time high, along with a demand we review the share price again.

 

If everything intends go horribly wrong, the share needs close below Blue on the chart, currently around 4.5p, as this would imply the threat of future reversal to 2p and that’s it. We cannot calculate below such a point.

 

 

**The Skeleton Coast was originally named, due to the number of whale carcases washed ashore due to whaling activities. However, the name remains deserved as it’s littered with the skeletons of hundreds of ship wrecks. The author, Wilbur Smith, was enamoured with Namibia, the people, and the environment.

*** End of “Updated Today” comments on shares.

#Brent #SP500  In keeping with what’s become tradition in the retail banking sector, Barclays Plc managed to spend the last three weeks doing very little, failing to trigger any viable upward motion, failing to trigger anything seriously downward. What’s proving a little befuddling is any attempt to compare the banks price history with the history of the sector index. At first glance, the pair seem pretty similar but unfortunately, everything fell apart at the start of this year.

 

When we review the wider banking sector, we’re supposed to believe optimism should be justified. According to the sector index, the value broken through the downtrend since 2007 at the start of this year and has pretty rigidly adhered to “our rulebook” in the period since and despite a few sessions of amateur dramatics, utterly failed to close a session below the point of trend-break (3,250 points). This behaviour leads us to conclude the sector is simply awaiting an excuse to elected itself toward the 4,000 level sometime soon.

 

Conventional wisdom suggests Barclays should be following a similar trajectory to the sector index but this year, conventional wisdom joined political integrity as both appear to be taking a holiday somewhere far, far, away.

 

A quick glance at Barclays below reveals a broad similarity between the two entities until the start of this year, when something pretty important appears to have changed, hence our confusion.

 

While the sector index cheerfully launched itself into 2023 with a break above the trend, Barclays followed suit yet ran out of enthusiasm by mid-February, when the market opted to manipulate (gap) the banks share price back below the historical Blue downtrend. Normally, we would expect such behaviour to promote the potential of impending reversal down to 115p eventually, something which has obviously failed to happen. The reversal logic has now changed, requiring the share price to close a session below 138p to trigger an ambition of reversal to an initial 128p with secondary, if broken, at 115p and hopefully a solid bounce.

 

Unfortunately – or perhaps fortunately, due to the behaviour of of the sector index, we’re pretty far from comfortable predicting reversals against Barclays. Instead, we’ve a sneaking suspicion some surprise recovery may be awaiting an opportunity, the share price needing above 165p to hopefully trigger a twitch in the direction of 176p. With the share price presently trading around 159p, it certainly doesn’t need much work to hopefully kick things into life.

Our secondary, should 176p be exceeded. becomes especially interesting, calculating with the potential of triggering a surge to 221p and some probable hesitation.

What’s mildly humorous, an article over the weekend suggested investors should make an effort to select those sectors/companies which international governments will protect at all costs. Obviously, the biggest banks & mortgage houses feature, the biggest aviation companies, essentially any of the ‘too big to fail’ companies which pride themselves as being able to count on a bailout, if market conditions change unfavourably.

The only problem we experience, with the conclusion of such an article, comes from the salient detail these behemoths are now all suffering from dire share price movements, doubtless due to government bailouts taking the shine off the way the company is perceived. Even in Germany, Lufthansa €who aggressively dug themselves out from under the government, has a share price which is struggling to move above its level, pre-pandemic and, it any sort of fair world, it should be heading to 13.24€ rather than floundering around just above the 9 Euro mark.

#FTSE #GOLD  It transpires there are worse things than going to Ikea with your partner. Buying a car turned into something akin to trying to keep a puppy’s attention in a butterfly farm, slightly nightmarish. There were a row of cars, headed by the Peugeot she wanted to view. The salesman dug the thing out, my wife immediately spotting the VW cabriolet behind it. She really likes Golf’s, so also wanted to test this. Around this point, a big Subaru behind the Golf was revealed fully, and she also wanted a drive of this. By the end of the session, it was between the Subaru and the Peugeot, but unfortunately, neither compared well with her current Toyota 4WD.

After bluntly telling the patient salesman her conclusion, he bluntly replied she’d need to either replace her Toyota with a newer Toyota, or look at VW 4WD’s.

 

It was one of these days, a ferry to the mainland, a 30 mile drive to a car dealer, and the sinking feeling we’d accomplished nothing. Sudden inspiration struck, we’d not been for a walk on the famous Troon beach for years, once our favourite playground for the dogs and only a few miles away. Despite the tide being out, requiring a walk of around a mile to get to the sea, it proved to be dog heaven and thankfully free of humans.

 

The walk gave plenty of time to consider just what the heck is going on with the FTSE…

 

Since the start of May, most folk will have noticed the UK market has been effectively parked, waiting for an excuse to do something chaotic or useful. We’ve mentioned previously, with the index breaking above the Blue trend line which delineates market highs since 2018, it should prove relatively easy for the market to experience some proper gains as it’s trading in a zone with a long term attraction above 8200 points.

 

Near term, above 7786 suggests the potential of gains in the direction of an initial 7827 points with secondary, if bettered, at 7875. If triggered, the tightest sane stop looks like 7723 points.

 

Our alternative scenario is less flamboyant, our calculations suggesting weakness below 7723 risks a visit to 7707 points with secondary, if broken, at 7675 and the threat of the FTSE remaining, like todays used cars, trapped in a parking zone.

*** End of “Updated Today” comments on shares.

#Gold #Nasdaq  We tend become quite cynical, when stumbling across a company boasting of being listed in a “Sunday Times Best” list. Part of the reason is jealousy, a larger part of the reason is the important detail companies need pay before being considered for such an “accolade”.  After being recently approached for something similar, we decided to eschew the honour, partially thanks to having no real competition, mainly due to the fee required and this didn’t include the cost of attending the awards dinner at Davos next year!

 

Usually, any excuse for a ski trip to Switzerland is welcome but when 5 figure numbers start being thrown around, it’s easier to decline, possibly spending the rest of my life worrying whether my parsimonious Scottish nature just ensured a major opportunity was avoided… But for that price, we could spend Jan to March skiing in France and never be expected to wear a suit.

 

There’s another little nark bothering us about XPS. We’re about to launch into a quite optimistic scenario for the share, due to recent share price movements. But there’s something quite strange about the stock market in the UK and USA. Essentially, the further down the alphabet a share is listed, the harder the share price needs work to produce anything positive. At times, we feel folk become bored examining listings, losing interest as they scroll down the 26 letters of the alphabet. While this rather hysterical conclusion has many exceptions to the rule, a share occupying the 24th letter certainly provides some pause for thought.

 

 

However, to take a positive stance against XPS, it appears movement next above 178p should hopefully trigger near term movement to an initial 200p with secondary, if exceeded, at a longer term 235p and another new all time high.

The share price needs below 146p to ring alarm bells, risking provoking reversal to an initial 135p with our secondary, if broken, down at a visually sane bottom of 103p

 

In this instance, despite our alphabet-phobia, things currently look quite positive for the largest pure pensions consultancy in the UK.

*** End of “Updated Today” comments on shares.

#FTSE #Nasdaq  One of the few legal firms listed on the UK exchanges, RBG Holdings share price has not followed a great trajectory since July 2021 and finally, we suspect we’re seeing early signals it may be in the final stages of this death spiral. To be fair, if the market thinks there’s real strength present, ideally this share shall bounce anytime soon.

 

From our numbers perspective, it appears weakness continuing below 32p risks triggering further reversals to an initial 27.5p with secondary, if broken, calculating at an “ultimate bottom” down at an unpleasant looking 19p. We refer to this sort of thing as an “ultimate” bottom for the pretty basic reason we cannot calculate any reliable target below such a level. Surprisingly, quite a few shares experience a bounce prior to an “ultimate” making an appearance and visually, the share price is already in the zone.

However, it’s always worth remembering the market offers absolutely no guarantees of a bounce, along with the clichéd memory, warning of the dangers of catching a falling knife.

 

In this instance, above 41p looks like it could prove interesting, hopefully provoking movement to an initial 55p with secondary, if bettered, at a potentially useful 65p. We’re being a little cautious with this optimism as the share price requires (from our perspective) to close a session above 71p, over double the price level at time of writing, to signal proper recovery kicking into action for the longer term.

 

For now, it’s probably worth keeping an eye on how this price behaves in the next few weeks.

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.
