A positive take on Astrazeneca Plc

#CAC40 #SP500

Now politicians throughout Europe have finally ceased pandering to baseless media stories regarding their vaccine, hopefully the company share price shall continue to show improvement. From a personal standpoint, the initial jags from AZN.L proved truly impressive, causing a measurable improvement in the immune system.

For instance, days before receiving the initial doze, a full blood workup in hospital revealed a Platelet count of 48. This is a bad thing, at risk of internal bleeding but worse, even shaving left my face looking like a victim of a slasher attack until all the tiny, invisible, wounds healed. In addition, waking up to discover the bedding had transformed into a Turin Shroud knock-off, was a little frightening. This particular state of affairs had been going on for months, thanks to a particular chemotherapy regime. But the first Covid-19 vaccine administered was from Astrazeneca and again, days later at the hospital, my bloodwork revealed an astounding change. The Platelet count had almost doubled, bedding was no longer covered in blood, and shaving returned to being a morning chore. There was slight slippage in the platelet count over the next few months but it returned to the high 80’s following the 2nd Astrazeneca shot.

For me, anyway, I was sold on possible benefits as there was literal proof it improved whatever was going on inside my body. As an added bonus, I didn’t catch Covid-19 though perhaps this was equally related to the utter paranoia of a cancer patient going through treatment. Plus, what folk in cities called “Lockdown”, here in Argyll we called it Tuesday, thanks to the benefit of low population density.

 

The foregoing probably reveals a bias in favour of Astrazeneca products but the bias has not caused the encouraging position of the company share price.

Back in 2020, flushed with success at being first to the market, AZM share price experienced a spike to 10,120p. As the chart shows, the months following paid for this optimism, politicians throughout Europe actively sabotaging the companies efforts while hoping their national manufacturers could catch up. All things considered, the entire affair was messy. Recent comments on a BBC documentary suggested “bad behaviour from scientists and from politicians has probably killed hundreds of thousands of people – and that they cannot be proud of that...” The AZN vaccine was cheaper, easier to distribute, and again from a personal viewpoint, effective.

 

Closing Wednesday 30th at 10,160p, the share price now is confirmed in strong territory for the longer term. Even from an immediate perspective, at calculates with movement above 10,165 potentially triggering a nod in the direction of 10,846 next. We’ve a bunch of separate formula promoting this as a target level and generally, when this happens, confidence is fairly high.

Our longer term secondary target is slightly confusing as it demands the price close a session above 10,846p to become “real”.  Apparently above 10,846p could produce ongoing travel toward 11,906p, perhaps even 12,608p. This massive difference in target ambitions can be laid squarely at the feet of July 20th, 2020 and the brief spike to 10,120p.

To experience trouble, the share price value needs retreat below 9,300p, such a movement threatening reversal to 8,500p initially with secondary, if broken, down at 7,098 and hopefully another bounce and another go at the future. Hopefully UK politicians don’t try and assist the company, there being no doubt the jingoistic “British Vaccine with a Union Flag” stance actively harmed European distribution potentials, especially with all the Brexit furore in the prior year.

Air Canada surviving Trudeau?

#FTSE #NK225

The national airline of Canada, probably still suffers from the draconian dictatorship of Trudeau. His fixed smile, while receiving a verbal pounding in the European parliament was a joy to behold. But it begged the question, why did other countries not follow suit? It made sense not to allow folk on planes, trains, or boats without proof of vaccine as the aim was to stop the spread of Covid.

The UK, on the other hand, was quite happy to permit the germ to spread to each of the home nations with no inhibition on travel. Even now, British Airways have declared pandemic regulations are a thing of the past, while Canada remains robust in its requirement, keeping people from travelling if they cannot provide proof of vaccination. While some of the Canadian PM’s tactics remain extremely questionable (freezing bank accounts, calling out the military, impounding vehicles), there can be no doubt his efforts, despite making communist China look like beginners, were intended to protect the country. Meanwhile, the UK Prime Minister is the recipient of 20 Police Fines for parties during lockdown.

Even from April 1st and a much publicised alteration in demands, slight changes in Canadian requirements look unlikely to provoke a surge in bookings for Air Canada as proof of vaccine is still required before crossing into the country.

 

However, in our trawl of Most Active shares outside the UK, the Toronto stock exchange revealed Air Canada as becoming popular. At time of writing, the share is trading around $24.5CAD and also started this week with an interesting price movement. At the open on Monday 29th March, the share was gapped up above the downtrend which commenced pre-pandemic. Hopefully this little nudge in the right direction proves viable as it opens the door for an uphill cycle to commence to 37 next with secondary, if exceeded, a long term $45CAD. We’re currently showing a near term threat of some hesitation at the 29 level, suspecting this shall prove fleeting if the pandemic continues to retreat into the dark realms of memory.

For everything to go horribly wrong, Air Canada needs below 20. Weakness such as this will threaten reversal to 14.5 with secondary, if broken, down at 10 and hopefully a bottom capable of a real bounce.

Deepverge Plc in the ditch?

#Gold ~Nasdaq

Every now and then, a company name invokes a vivid memory. #Deepverge is one such, unearthing a long forgotten event. The problem started with the Vauxhall factory rally team, lending our family firm a prize winning car for the place of honour at a motor show. The vehicle came with all the usual caveats, it couldn’t be driven on public roads, must remain spotless, etc etc. A comedy of family dominoes ensured a schoolkid, who looked exactly like me, was tasked with winching it onto a trailer and towing it 120 miles on the A82 to an event in Fort William.

 

If your family background is “motor trade”, you’ve probably been driving since your feet could reach the pedals, so this particular idiot with his brand new driving licence was perfectly capable for the task. In any case, it was summer and final exams had finished, so being at a loose end was almost a crime.

The problem was the trailer. Turning up at the storage yard at 7am, there was a noticeable gap where the trailer should be. Some digging revealed a surprise, the workshop manager had taken it to retrieve a 4WD from an important client in Aberdeenshire. I was not licensed to drive a heavier commercial vehicle which could have taken the rally car. It was time to start waking people up, all of whom were already at Fort William. Several threats later, now tasked with driving the rally car to the event, I locked the storage compound gates, enjoying the quiet roads out of Glasgow. The car, a Vauxhall Chevette 2.3 I think, was noisy, rattled, and only came into its own at higher revs and higher speeds. Back then, at the top of Loch Lomond, there was a notorious 8 mile stretch of road, often flooded, narrow, and impossible to pass on so I entertained myself behind a slow moving bus, goosing the throttle, slowing down, the whole boy racer thing. The occasion was ably assisted by the fact I was actually in a racing car. The awful Loch Lomond stretch ended with a set of ‘temporary traffic lights’ which already had been in place for nearly 20 years. The bus, now decorated with a bunch of girls, obviously completely in awe of me, waving out the rear window, pulled through the final slow section, eased passed the usual queue of vehicles on the other side of the lights, and entered an uphill straight, well known as a key area to pass traffic. I pulled out, buried the accelerator, and promptly spun, eventually propelled down a deep verge into a muddy gully. The view over Loch Lomond was quite pretty.

After ensuring I’d spun the wheels sufficiently to really dig myself in, Lady Luck smiled on me. A heavy vehicle pulled up to offer to drag me out. Aside from quite a lot of damage to the front spotlights, the car was fine, the final leg of the drive completed by 11am. Unfortunately, the ‘Award Winning Rally Car’ now looked like it had just completed a stage in the mud but the sales folk decided this was a good thing, proving the car was the real deal. Me, I was sent home by train and told exactly who would be cleaning the machine and repairing the damage. We got away with it, Vauxhall failing to ‘rumble’ the car had been quite active.

 

As for Deepverge share price,  we’re a little concerned by movements this year. There was a pretty convincing argument favouring a plunge for this fascinating company to a bottom around 12.75p. The share price was supposed to hit this level and provide a convincing bounce. With utter conviction, on March 8th, the price closed a session at 12.5p, marginally below our Big Picture drop target and quite spitefully, creating a situation where ultimate bottom now resides at 8p. We effectively cannot calculate any serious target below the 8p level.

There’s now the situation where the price requires above 14.7p to hint at the first box being ticked in a surprise recovery. Such a triggering movement looks capable of attempting an initial 15.8p with secondary, if bettered, at 20.7p and a challenge of the immediate Blue downtrend. Our nerves come from the fact the share price has now repeatedly explored below our previous ultimate bottom target of 12.75p and visually, is attempting to pretend there’s a glass floor at 12p. We’ve no immediate calculations to assure us this glass floor level shall prove real and thus, it may prove worthwhile keeping an eye in case Deepverge drive into a verge with a bottom now at 8p, hopefully a level which causes a bounce.

Natwest Group Plc heading for time in the sun?

#Brent #Dax

Perhaps it will prove silly attempting to use a UK retail bank to gauge how things are going in the world but Natwest is currently offering itself as a remarkable barometer! When we reviewed the share three weeks ago, it hit our initial reversal target of 191p but critically, failed to close below this level. There’s a fair chance this suggestion of strength shall prove a big deal.

 

We often bang on about how important it can be for a price to exceed a level of “trend break”, effectively broadcasting the previous trend can no longer be relied upon and instead, suggesting a new trend has commenced. Natwest is on the edge of such a momentous occasion, requiring above 231p to give the first glimmer of hope for a future. Apparently this risks triggering a movement to an initial 236p with our longer term secondary, if bettered, coming along at 260p. In an ideal world, we would demand the share actually close a session above 231p before investing in a party popper, especially as the secondary of 260p has the potential to be seriously important for the longer term.

The chart below shows, relatively clearly, the reason for our (vague) optimism. By achieving the 260p ambition, this would take the banks share price above its highest level of 2022, also giving the share price a chance to close a session around the level which defined the long term downtrend (Blue) from as far back as 2007. Price moves such as this will tend make a Big Picture potential for a future at 332p a viable hope.

Obviously, all that’s needed will be for Covid to remain invisible, the Russia situation to resolve itself, and the FTSE itself to start behaving with some integrity.

 

To justify panic, Natwest now needs trade below 191p, movement such as this calculating with a reversal potential to an initial 155p with secondary, if broken, at an eventual bottom (hopefully) down at 125p.

 

Finally, a long awaited cartilage operation means a plan to return to skiing can be made, unfortunately after a recovery delay of around 6 months. It will certainly be interesting, returning to the slopes without the ever present threat of a guilty left knee collapsing, provoking amusing one legged emergency stops in the most inconvenient places while in utter agony. This is doubly annoying, thanks to snow being forecast locally for the coming week. Today though, it was 18c here in Argyll.

Our famed #FTSE for Friday

#Gold #DOW

The market is now in a very strange situation, one where a long position may prove fascinating. Or extremely painful! It has now been a month since the Ukraine thing kicked off and were we completely gullible, we’d now be proposing the FTSE intends recovery toward 7,720 next. After all, as the chart highlights, the index has recovered to the pre-Russia level.

This, we suspect, is where a glass ceiling shall come into play, if only due to realisation the issue has not gone away.

The day before Russia invaded, the  FTSE had a high of 7,550 points. To be stubborn, only market closure above this level will convince us a return to normality can be scheduled, perhaps because everyone has made friends again. Instead, we suspect we’re looking at a phoney recovery, possibly fuelled by a complete lack of knowledge as to what is actually going on. Painfully obvious propaganda from both sides is tending to cloud any attempt to discover reality and while this should be expected in any conflict, market movements, certainly from a day to day perspective, feel the opposite of trustworthy. It’s possible the stunning recovery from the 6,800 point level on March 7th shall prove completely erroneous, an amazing 700 point rise in just 14 sessions risking becoming a fond memory very quickly, if anything goes seriously wrong in Europe.

With the market flirting coquettishly at the level before everything hit the fan, we’d be reticent in advocating any sort of long position at present. Clearly, the market has recovered but so far, has failed to exceed the high achieved prior to this mess.

As for our popular FTSE for Friday, we’re going to start with a potential short scenario. However, it must be remembered the market is currently hovering at a hesitation level, a point in time where both Long and Short positions are liable to fizzle out around our initial target levels.

Near term, below 7453 should apparently promote reversal to a rather tame 7428 points. If broken, our secondary calculates at 7397 points. Visually, our initial target does make some sense, running into an imaginary Red uptrend since the low earlier this month. We’re not convinced about our secondary, if only due to it taking the index into a zone with a longer term attraction down at 7335 points.

 

Our Long position scenario is slightly less vague, suggesting movements next above 7492 should make an attempt at an initial 7507 points. If exceeded, our secondary calculates at 7524 points. Both ambitions keep the index toddling around the glass ceiling level, something we shall not concede is broken until such time the FTSE closes above the high, the day before Russia did its thing.

Enquest Plc, looking good!

#CAC40 #DAX

The problem with rabbit holes is simple. You never know where they are and it can be easy to stumble down one. Enquest enjoy a website providing a similar trap, a quick glance turned into a fascinating delve into North Sea oil operations. When visiting the north of Scotland (Wick), it’s astounding looking offshore and seeing the oil rigs all illuminated. What wasn’t immediately apparent is the extend of extraction fields, many rigs situated on the half way mark between Scotland and Norway.

It’s doubtful any of the Enquest rigs were spotted that night, the company operating oil rigs which almost define the line between the UK and Norwegian operations, seriously offshore in the part of the North Sea where extreme bad weather is just another day. In the interests of fairness, we should also mention Enquest operate in Malaysia too. Their website proved quite fascinating, a cursory glance turning into an hour or so of reading.

 

Similar to their website, the share price appears to be presenting some pretty useful potentials. Currently trading around 29.2p, the price appears primed for movement to the 33.3p level next with growth exceeding 29.7p. Should this initial ambition be exceeded, we’re a little vague on the secondary target thanks to the circled gap on the chart. If we treat the manipulation gap as a near term feature, above 33.3p is supposed to bring a visit to 38.8 next.

The manipulation gap was used to propel the share price above a downtrend since 2014, so perhaps we should regard it as a Big Picture event, creating a scenario where above 33.3p can be expected to bring Enquest share price up to the 42.5p level. Visually, this matches a series of highs from 2018 and doubtless, if such a target is achieved, we should anticipate some hesitation, thanks to a bunch of folk who doubtless bought 4 years ago and opting to sell, just to recoup their investment. By virtually every standard, Enquest is currently looking quite promising for the future, the price requiring below 21p to cause any serious concern.

Paying attention to Liberty Media Corporation

#FTSE #Nasdaq

Sometimes, a share can treat investors in a fashion similar to a dog. Not like the UK banking sector, where long suffering traders tend expect the share to lift a leg. Instead, there’s annoying persistence, trying to call attention to a ball while pretending to sit patiently, eyes moving from your face to the ball and back.  For the last week, Liberty Media share price has been emulating our Golden Retriever and a tennis ball and now, with the race season kicking off, we cannot ignore it any longer.

 

We’d mentioned the brief video regarding Liberty Media’s income (available at this link) and a thought crossed our mind. Formula 1 is no longer free to watch in the UK, only available “Live” through the exorbitant portal of Sky Sports. Almost everywhere else in the world, you can subscribe to Liberty Media’s Formula1.com, an excellent Live Streaming service, available substantially cheaper than Sky. With Liberty Media now 5 years into their management contract, hopefully the dominance of Sky shall come to an end when contracts are next thrown up in the air. To judge by watching the aforementioned short video, Liberty Media don’t appear to be financially struggling with their vastly lower monthly fee to watch live motor racing.

 

Listed on the Nasdaq in 2017, Liberty currently are trading around $64.50, the share price appearing impatient to catch attention. The immediate situation suggests above $65 threatens further growth to an initial $71 and a new all time high. If bettered, this scenario can even propose the potential of a future $77, taking the share price to a level we have some difficulty in calculating above. Obviously, this doesn’t mean the price cannot go higher, it just implies we’ve run out of numbers from a big picture perspective. Normally, this will suggest some hesitation at the secondary level.

For everything to go horribly wrong, the share would require crossing the Red line on the chart, ideally with all 4 wheels (a formula 1 joke) and currently this demands closure below 58 would justify a degree of panic. Such a calamity would risk creating a situation, where reversal to an initial $52 looks possible with secondary, if broken, down at $48.

For now, we rather suspect Liberty intends discover a path to the 77 dollar level.

Needless to say, this should be the last time we cover anything Formula 1 related for a while. We prefer watching, rather than writing about the sport!

SUCCESS above means both FAST & SLOW targets were met. ‘CESS means just the FAST target met and probably the next time it is exceeded, movement to the SLOW target shall commence.

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.
