#GOLD #US500 When Scotlands single producing Gold Mine at Tyndrum, here in Argyll, managed to cease trading in 2023, it typified something Scots excel at, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. The company (LSE:SGZ) were actually successfully extracting gold (8,500 ounces) at a time when the price of Gold had “soared” to over $2,000 per ounce. They hadn’t been flagrant in buying machinery, instead trawling South Africa for 2nd hand equipment, even managing to maximise an income stream from gullible investors who believed great times were ahead. The tourism business in Scotland can often be regarded as a case study in “how not to do it”, where even here locally, we’ve had some hysterical run-ins with business’s by asking for the obvious. For instance, Loch Lomond is famed worldwide for astounding scenery but real perfection exists on the east side of the loch where a hotel exists which only caters for tourists who arrive on buses.

We moored in their harbour, headed up to the hotel bar/restaurant and attempted to order lunch. It was 12.30pm on a Saturday and we’d friends from America and New Zealand waiting to be impressed. From the picture window of the bar, we could see crowds of folk down on the pier but the bar/restaurant was empty. The barmaid said the best she could offer was some crisps as the kitchen staff hadn’t turned up! Apparently, they’d probably not be in until after 3pm when the tour bus usually arrived. Another disaster locally came from a potentially brilliant restaurant, the place located in a prime location for views of boat movements, looking out to sea. My wife and I dropped in for lunch, ordering a couple of Lattes, the owner taking the time to explain he did not supply “breakfast coffee” at lunchtime. While such may still be true in a few areas of Italy, it’s emphatically not true in the UK. So we explained we didn’t supply lunchtime custom for such a pretentious policy and promptly left. Just 50 yards away, we ordered our Lattes in another cafe, one with unrestricted views of the ferry terminal with just a glimpse of the soon to shut down defender of Italian “breakfast coffee” rules.

We don’t know why it all went wrong for ScotGold but suspect the primary cause was believing their own BS, adored by the media and government for doing actual gold mining in an incredibly pretty area, well served by transport and boasting two railway stations. While their listing on the AIM stock market perhaps was intended to add a cachet of respectability, when they diluted their issued shares, for us the writing was on the wall as it’s a tactic we abhor across the UK markets.

There’s a “however” with ScotGold, the ashes of the company recently sold to a South African company who plan to bring Tyndrum back into production. With the price of Gold almost double its level when ScotGold fell off a cliff, it should surely be an attractive process. Hopefully they look at the other Gold Mine in Tyndrum, the (excellent) “Real Food Cafe” and decide to use the level of tourism to enhance their income. After all, who wouldn’t enjoy a tour of a Gold Mine?

 

Of course, this rant has been an attempt to conceal our confusion about the price of Gold. It has “almost” gone higher than arithmetically possible, at least from our perspective.

 

When we reviewed the metal back in July, we showed 3,713 dollars at the top of the chart, a difficult ambition to justify as the metal was around $3,387 when we produced our report. With it currently around 3,860 dollars, we’ve been looking hard at movements since it managed to exceed our 3,713 target, this always being a horrible scenario as we hate using such a short term influence to predict the future. To be blunt, it’s like emulating a BBC weather report, usually generated by someone looking out of the window, then glancing at a newspaper prediction which was probably generated by a previous BBC weather report.

Currently, above 3,864 for GOLD looks like it holds the potential for movement now to an initial 3,878 dollars with our longer term secondary, if exceeded, at a rather less confident sounding $3,945. At this point, we’d be inclined to suspicion, expecting market gremlins to miraculously propel the price to the $4,000 level and thus, create an impression 4,000 dollars has been anointed as the highest level GOLD shall achieve. Should this prove to be the case, it would tend imply some market manipulation was taking place and it’d be sensible for a bunch of folk to open Short positions, anticipating $4,000 being a level which shall prove as impermeable as a politicians brain. And once sufficient number of traders open short positions at the 4,000 level, it’d be a wizard wheeze for the metal to bubble higher yet again, tripping a bunch of very profitable stop-loss positions.

We tend be quite cynical about this sort of thing, the same playbook followed on many occasions with many different instruments. Should the scenario run true to form, once the price spends a little time above the $4,000 level, at such a point sharp reversals can be anticipated. Life for Gold is certainly looking interesting.

 

Nearer term, if things intend go wrong for GOLD, below the immediate Red trend at 3,756 could be a problem, calculating with the potential of triggering reversals to an initial 3,619 with our secondary, if broken, at 3,407 and an almost certain rebound, judging by the visuals.

#Gold #WallSt One of the nicest things about living in the Scottish Countryside here in Argyll is the peace and quiet, the area almost having a volume control you can turn on and off anytime. We’re referring to what can easily be branded as loneliness as, for instance, Lockdown in 2020 pretty much affected no-one locally as it didn’t really change peoples lifestyles. Folk would be alone at home, only risking social interaction if they took their dog for a walk, creating an often amusing circumstance where we’d be gathering in an ever increasing (socially distanced) circle on a beach or in a field, the regular gang of dog walkers ensuring their therapeutic daily natter remained part of the day. In fact, it would be true to say “Lockdown” ensured many new friendships were formed, surprising when considering we were all supposed to ignore each other.

And of course, no-ones dogs respected the concept of social distancing, quite the opposite while 6 or 7 dog owners gossiped in a field or on the beach opposite the secret nuclear submarine base… By the time Covid-19 became a memory, all of us survived, even knowing each others names rather than just their dogs moniker. Out of this situation came a classic faux pas, thanks to a personal habit of giving dog walkers nicknames, sometimes cruel, sometimes funny, but it was easier than trying to remember both the dog and the owners name.

My wife dropped me in it one day, out with our Golden Retrievers and bumping into a lady and her instantly recognisable little dog. During her chat, she blurted out; “So you’re the Dead Woman?”

She was unfortunately talking to a lady who worked for our local funeral directors, her job making my nickname inevitable. Thankfully, we all remain friends but for a while, random dog walkers would ask “what do you call me?” as I’d been busted. This dog walk thing has quite a lot to do with Doc Martens!

Absolutely no-one locally wears them when walking their dogs. Instead, proper walking boots, wellies, or sacrificial cheap walking shoes are the choice but Doc Martens don’t exist among the country community. The quick reason is probably due to the Laces, the length of time needed to put Doc Martens on probably causing any self respecting dog to explode with frustration. It’s a big thing for a dog, knowing it will be going for a walk within minutes of the owner pulling on their boots. The concept of a dog watching patiently while the owner fusses with Doc Martens laces is laughable. But it is slightly interesting to note 80% of sales for the original Doc Martens ( Martens & Funck in Germany) were to women over the age of 40 in the 1950’s, following the second world war. Nowadays, with Doc Martens a fashion accessory, it’s probably the case their sales still depend on female purchasers, though in quite a different age group.

 

From a glance at their share price chart, it appears Doc Martens (LSE:DOCS) share price is about to lace itself higher. Movement above 96p now looks capable of confidently bringing a rise to an initial 110p with our secondary for the longer term, if exceeded, calculating at a longer term 138p.

If the share price intends cause trouble, it needs break Red on the chart, currently 85p, as this threatens reversal to an initial 79p with our secondary very close at 75p, strongly suggesting a zone from which a rebound can be anticipated. However, from movements during September, the visual implication is for a share price which intends growth, so it’s fingers crossed time.

#Brent #Dax It is really not often you come across true genius in scriptwriting but the new movie, The Fantastic Four holds a gem, literally right at the end.  The film is over, accolades awarded, and the superhero team go to their superhero flying car to soar off into the sunset. But there was a major problem, the three superhero bloke’s were tasked with fitting a baby seat to their superhero car. Most guys will recognise the flickers of suppressed fury while they each struggle with what should be the simplest of jobs, studiously avoiding falling out with each other. Regarded as “the one who knows how stuff works”, I remember experiencing exactly this scene with  my brother-in-law and years later, my son-in-law.

Of course, the seriously irritating thing about baby seats is how simple they are to fit, once your horrible sister or horrible daughter takes the time to smugly explain in under 5 seconds! Usually after they push a button which automagically folds a push chair and makes it fit in a car boot. And as for The Fantastic Four, by the time the titles appeared, grand-daughters and their pals had vanished, along with their smartphones. It would be easy to anticipate it being on BBC around Xmas this year which is probably a fair summation of the ode to CGI. However, the girls did watch The Wrong Paris on Netflix, keeping them entertained  (and off their phones!) for a full 1hr and 46 minutes.

 

Proving about as predictable a The Fantastic Four, perhaps because it’s a member of the infamous Clown Show Three (Lloyds, Natwest, Barclays), it would make quite a lot of sense for Lloyds share price to slink down to around 73p, matching the point of trend break on the Blue downtrend. There’s no hard and fast rule which says this should occur, just fairly typical market behaviour on the FTSE under the guise of trading patterns. Once it has paid homage to the 73p level, at such a point we’d hope for a solid bounce, the share price once again executing some reasonable future expectations, an initial target still remaining at 88p with our secondary, according to our latest batch of tea leaves, coming along at 110p and some very probable hesitation.

Of course, such a scenario, while visually logical, falls completely apart if the share price manages to close below 73p. Such an event opens the door for a fall to an initial 71p with our secondary, when broken, calculating at an eventual (hopeful) bottom of  66p.

Our expectation remains Lloyds Banking Group intend drive their little clown car to 110p. But the journey may take some time.

#FTSE #Gold As a child, there was always fascination at the pages of thumbnail sized adverts in the rear pages of newspapers, selling literally anything and often advertised at “apparently” super cheap prices. Nowadays, having not bought or read a printed paper for at least 20 years (aside from our local paper here in Argyll, apparently a title which enjoys the greatest market penetration in the newspaper world), it’s certainly questionable whether these pages of promises to a new world of gadgets still exist.

But all is not lost and being curious about fold away e-bikes, taking a few minutes to peruse the junk available from China was reminiscent of childhood, fascinated at the variety of tiny little adverts. However, the crafty algorithm powering Alibaba and Temu certainly knows its market, opting to dump a little advert for a mini digger amongst all the bikes. After all, what bloke wouldn’t want a mini digger? We’re a little unusual in our location, teetering on the edge of being able to justify such a machine, as we continue to plot on how to sort our rear lawn which is on a merciless slope. With our own digger, we could try ideas out, get them wrong, fix them and start again. Trenches could be excavated at the drop of a hat, all the “man stuff” blokes aspire to, if only they owned a Mini Digger.

Plus such a machine would make a great combined Xmas & Birthday present. Fast forwarding to the end of the story, my wife looked at the advert and grunted “No” to both the cheap folding e-bikes and the diggers too. Apparently my little red tractor is the limit of my freedom of transport! But on the plus side, I still drive a folding roof with a car attached, my dogs transporter, the fab VW Eos.

Our FTSE for Friday is a bit difficult this week, due to the UK index appearing to be enjoying a little nap. It was difficult to exercise restraint by not showing the closing price chart since the start of September. The FTSE appears to be losing interest, now slinking below the Red uptrend as the effects of the BoE decision to keep the UK economy struggling hits home. We’re often quite spiteful about how poisonous the Bank of England actually are, the organisation somehow failing to appreciate the FTSE 100 alone is worth trades of 5 or 6 billion pounds a day, substantially lower than it should be at this time of year. there’s an ongoing issue with the UK marketplace, a lack of decent IP launches along with a series of companies delisting from London, giving lack of share price value as their reason, and then popping up on the S&P, Nasdaq or even HK or European listings.

The immediate situation for the FTSE isn’t great as traffic below 9203 points risks promoting reversal to an initial 9160 points and a very possible short lived bounce. But we’d expect 9160 to break, giving access to a bottom around 9108 points and a proper rebound, always assuming your fingers are properly crossed! If triggered, 9238 looks like a viable stop loss position.

The index requires movement above 9267 points, giving the probability of a lurch upward to 9307 points with our secondary, if beaten, at 9351 points.

 

Have a good weekend. For us, it’s a Scottish holiday which means grand-daughters visiting and they’re now at that awkward age where they’ve decided to bring friends. In other words, you cannot have enough toilets with six females in a house… No Grand Prix, next one is Singapore in a week, often capable of real entertainment.

#FTSE #Nasdaq Few things illustrate just how incompetent the UK government is than Lithium Americas leaping 92% into the air. Mr Trumps administration is keen to enforce a stake in key strategic industries and even the (strong) rumour of the US Government investing in LAC caused the price to jump higher than a UK politician trying to grab a twenty quid note from the breeze. But the reason this share price acceleration was some important can be compared to the recent UK initiative, spending £500 Million upgrading a port to allow cheap unwanted Chinese electric vehicles to flood the country.

The Chinese electric vehicle industry literally created a problem with land prices, the Chinese government paying manufacturers subsidies for every new vehicle sold. As a result, the 120+ Chinese manufacturers would register vehicles as “Sold”, collect the subsidy, and park the unwanted machine in a field. Unfortunately, things have become a little silly with vast areas snaffling the role of car parks, causing problems for the availability of agricultural land. Vehicle manufacturers, attempting to reduce their Electric Vehicle Mountain, have been dumping machinery on Alibaba, where sales reflect a discount of between 60 and 80% of the original retail price.

President Trump panicked at the size of this mountain, creating tariff barriers which stopped the arrival of random Chinese electric vehicles. Rather quietly, the European Union has enacted a similar stance, determined to keep the things clear of the continent. But an enlightened UK, deciding to further trash our indigenous car industry, has opted to create a port capable of handling China’s unwanted machines.

In other words, the UK has reacted in exactly the opposite fashion than the US or EU, deciding to flood our country with machinery from manufacturers which shall vanish within the next few years, immediately after the Chinese government withdraw their subsidy to the domestic EV market. The 120+ manufacturers in China are expected to shrink to around just 15, provoking a fun scenario for those Brits who’ve paid for a vehicle for which aftermarket support shall vanish within a couple of years. But the USA Government is taking steps to protect their key industries and thus, the country and North America’s largest Lithium mine, utterly key for electric vehicle batteries and a key component, when trying to make a garden bonfire more entertaining. (if doing so, try and avoid breathing in the white smoke. (It’s more poisonous than BBC, Google, or Sky news!)

 

If we review Lithium America’s and their lithium mine share price potentials, despite a surprise 92% single day share price rise, it appears further gains are possible as the share – as shown on the chart below – has been messing around since 2024, doubtless scaring many investors away. But when the government of the US decides to take a financial interest in the company, it’s easy to believe a “free money” scenario is kicking off. After all, under the current President Trump administration, it’s unlikely they shall be throwing money away against losing scenarios.  Unlike the UK, expanding a port facility to deliberately destroy a UK industry.

Currently, above $6.30 calculates with the potential of a lift to an initial $7.50 with our secondary, if bettered, at $10.30. We do have further potentials for the longer term but it shall probably be safer to stand back and review a journey to 10,30 dollars. Should things opt to go horribly wrong, Lithium Americas share price needs plunger below 3.20 dollars to call the current rising cycle into doubt.

But on the bright side, we’re confident our surprise garden visitor this week was an animal called a Mink, something with a worse predatory reputation than UK parliamentarians spotting a money making scheme…

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

#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.

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

#Gold #Nasdaq It was an easy decision which made us opt to review BAE Systems tonight. We’ve had more helicopters flying low overhead on Monday evening than occurred during Covid Lockdowns, when rather a few of the great and good were making their way to their homes in Argyll or superyachts parked discretely in our lochs with their AIS Transponders turned off. One night, it was quite fascinating tracking a flight above our house as it headed to Loch Fyne, opting to land in an area the computer defined as open water. Thankfully, we knew a big boat was parked exactly there. But tonight’s helicopters come from a quite different league, the rotor sound very different from the lightweight jobs used by millionaires.

In plain English, it sounds like the military are playing games, things becoming exciting when one heavy helicopter sped low up the glen, dropping to almost water level on the sea outside before sharply rising and vanishing above the mountain in our back garden! Shortly afterward, another helicopter was heard moving extremely fast, chasing off in the direction of the initial machine. I guess we must point out the logical direction each was travelling was toward the secret nuclear submarine base or the secret NATO nuclear weapon store at Glen Douglas (a seriously scary place). To be honest, we’re always fairly re-assured we’ve a mountain between us and them, though as the crow flies, the distance is really not great even though we never hear the weekly test of the base Emergency Alarm.

But when the rhetoric and sabre rattling starts to amplify itself, it is also a worry when the military start running active aerial exercises around our quaint local nuclear weapon “country store”. When the grown ups start practicing worst case scenario during drama queen periods, it certainly concentrates the mind as to what is really going on. And of course, all of this does not do any harm to those companies who depend on the military buying things to store in our local “shoppe”.

 

Obviously, this brings us to BAE Systems Plc, a company whose share price has been soaring higher than missiles which have lost their guidance.

The immediate situation for LSE:BA. is fairly useful, suggesting share price growth above 2014p should trigger another lift to an initial 2075p and again, some slight hesitation. Our “longer term”  secondary target calculates at 2205p, should the initial ambition be exceeded. Obviously, some patience shall be required.

If things intend go square shaped, the price needs below 1760p to justify panic, calculating with the potentials of reversal to an initial 1658 with our secondary, if broken, down at 1530p and a very possible rebound..

From reviewing price movements, we shall not be surprised if BAE share price decides to explore the dubious benefit of reversals.

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.
