#Gold #Nasdaq The UK AIM market has essentially been on holiday since the start of June! With everything going on in the world, it was something of a surprise to note the AIM index spent over three months moving by just 12 points above and below a midpoint of around 768 points. While this is obviously very frustrating, along being questionable behaviour, there is one significant detail we can mention. In the event the AIM market staggers above 783 points, we shall deem it as breaking free from the current malaise,  ideally heading to an initial 838 points with our secondary, if beaten, at 883 points and some probable hesitation. We feel this prediction is probably worth printing out and sticking on the wall as it should highlight a period where members of the AIM market enjoy some much deserved movements. The AIM would need slink below 688 to utterly crush our hopes.

 

Wishbone Gold Plc are perhaps one of the AIM constituents trapped in the current sludge of share price action feeling quite restricted. This, despite the company being named after a pretty good soft rock band! (Wishbone Ash) However, their share price position currently stinks a little bit as movement below 1.17p risks promoting further reversal to an initial 0.90p with our secondary, if broken, at 0.51. Even though reversal looks fairly inevitable, we’d hope for a real bounce around the 0.9p level rather than exhibit proper weakness to our secondary target.

Surprisingly, if the share price manages above 1.63p anytime soon, this would certainly tick the first box to allow the share price to move positively, giving an initial target level at a very useful 2.68p. We’ve considerable doubts about our longer term secondary at 4.6p sometime in the future. It is certainly a puzzle how their share price has (so far) failed to benefit from the change in the price of Gold, despite its current sojourn around 3,600 dollars, a price level which has ensured sobriety tests have been needed in Nome, Alaska, an area where Gold divers literally have never had it so good. One of the miners, owning a diving and dredging vessel, has even opted to abandon her very profitable YouTube channel to focus entirely on maximising her “take” from the floor of the Bering Sea.

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

#FTSE #Japan As always, September is bringing some strange events here in Argyll. The most surprising one has been the current plague of Red Squirrel, it being virtually impossible to go anywhere without one of the things bouncing across the path or road in front of you. The funny thing, this year it seems black bushy tails are in fashion with the argumentative little monsters. Another unusual event has been the reverse frog stampede. Usually, around March, the amphibians cross the road in their thousands at night, returning to their favourite pools on the mountain. But it’s rare when we see the hatched little frogs making their way back to the river, making it easy to mistake a tiny little 2cm frog from a small leaf blowing on the road. And finally, there’s the most annoying issue, thanks to buying a bag of Nectarines which included a mouldy one. Our fruit bowl turned into Fruit Fly central, the little sods remaining despite the contents of the bowl being bagged and binned. Within a day, it became painfully obvious the fruit flies had decided they’d found a good home, so it was time for YouTube videos.

Needless to say, as with many issues, the answer lay with Apple Cider Vinegar. In this instance, it was mixed with water and a drop of fairy liquid added, fruit flies finding the liquid a wonderful method of drowning themselves. We’ve never had such a fly infestation before, becoming instantly paranoid about food cleanliness and bins being sealed. It was only when my wife was chatting at work did she discover there’s a fruit fly epidemic here in Argyll, doubtless due to surprisingly warm weather and discrete battles being fought everywhere! It seems we can talk about our Red Squirrel invasion, boast about our tiny Frog migration, but keep quiet at the horror of tiny little flies being everywhere…

Unfortunately, unable to dovetail this into a lesson about share prices and Beazley Plc, the best we can do is moan about a lack of insurance to cover sodding fruit flies being everywhere. And wonder aloud what sort of winter is coming, due to wildlife behaving differently. The squirrel clearly have a plan, the frogs are jumping ship, making it easy to suspect we’ve a “bad ‘un” ahead. Thankfully, we’ve now got at least a years supply of cut firewood which hopefully will not be needed. Oil fired heat, on demand, is a nicer way to handle cold mornings, rather than the chore of lighting the wood burner.

 

When we reviewed Beazley Plc just a couple of months ago, we used our “Cover Your A**” final paragraph to give some potentials if the share price dropped. Guess what?

The drop triggered, the share price exactly hitting our drop target at 762p. Will it bounce?

.

 

Visually, the immediate situation with Beazely Plc share price is fairly encouraging, though – perhaps oddly – we wish it hadn’t actually hit our drop target exactly as we’re generally happier if a price bounces before a target. Such a demonstration implies some strength but in this instance, there’s a problem.

Apparently, above 800p should now bring movement to an initial 832p with our secondary, if beaten, an eventual 902p. This sort of projection, while sounding impressive, has a major problem as the share price needs above 918p to signify happy days ahead. In such an instance, we shall feel able to discuss a long term target at 1064p but unless the market starts gapping the share price upward at the open, this seems a naive ambition.

Should things intend go wrong, below 762 would now be problematic as it allows weakness to an initial 722p with our secondary, if broken, an eventual bottom of 637p, a target level we’d hope the share actually bounces before.

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

#Gold #WallSt  When we previously reviewed Close Brothers back in 2023, the so called scandal regarding car loans was just bubbling under but we still managed to give criteria laying out the potential for a drop to 445p. This obviously has been achieved and exceeded but it appears the prospective damage across the financial sector is being diluted, rather than the usual  Money Tree of claims firms making a problem substantially larger than it ever was.

There are now early signs Close Brothers may be shuffling its feet in preparation for some recovery, needing to close a session below 358p to derail any optimism.

Instead, it appears worthwhile to keep an eye on the share price over the next few weeks in the hope it manages to close a session above a significant 508p or, if feeling brave, start trading above 493p intraday. Either trigger has the potential to trigger recovery to an initial 606p with our secondary, if beaten, at a more useful 685p. Overall, this would emplace the share in a zone where a long term attraction calculates as coming from a distant 928p.

If things are planning to go wrong, below 358p risks a visit to an initial 308 with our secondary, if broken, now at an ultimate bottom of 220p along with potentially a strong rebound.

 

Overall, the markets remain in “holiday mode” but some shares appear to be making signs of waking up. The underlying trend in the US and the UK is for market gains virtually across the board.

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

#Brent #SP500  We opted to get the popcorn in to enjoy two movies this weekend. The first one, the new “The Naked Gun” was okay, if somewhat repetitive and to be honest, we opted to go for dinner around 50 minutes into the film, the gags becoming fairly tiresome. Essentially, it became a homage/reprise of the funny films from the 1980’s and perhaps if neither of us remembered the original, we’d have been happy staying until the end. But on the bright side, we enjoyed an excellent Chinese meal! Later, at home, we decided to give the film industry a second chance, spooling up “Jurassic World Rebirth”. We did watch it to the end, wishing they had paid more money for a decent script and storyline, perhaps saving money on CGI expenditure. It was okay(ish) and will doubtless appear free to view on terrestrial TV channels around Xmas this year.

Part of our reasoning behind this effort to justify our local cinema has been an ongoing debate as to whether to cancel our TV licence. Increasingly, it’s the case “PC Feed” is chosen for the TV and we end up watching something on YouTube or Netflix, especially as ad-blocker software makes YouTube tolerable. All this makes it pretty certain we shall cease subscribing to the BBC propaganda service, the bias in broadcast news becoming quite intolerable.  Of course, we’d feel quite different if Murray Walker were still commenting on Formula1, Terry Wogan’s drunken slurring on Eurovision, or the beardy mumbling scientist guy (David Bellamy) who used to compete with David Attenborough until he pointed out Man Made Climate Change was a load of rubbish. Then was promptly cancelled across the entire media.

It’s true things change with time but the media, who quite literally host everything from the past, seem unable to learn from history, trying to find what works and what doesn’t. Personally, a gaggle of YouTube channels provide entertainment with “The Why Files” for ridiculous, “Meghyn Kelly” for informative, and “Itchy Boots” travel. For a while, “Russel Brand” also was included but his voice & style can be tiresome, down in the Piers Morgan type of impossible viewing.

 

Surprisingly, this brings us back to our useless Central Bank in the UK, happily inflicting interest rates which puts the country at a disadvantage. With Europe suffering until a 2% regime, while the UK throttles itself with a 4% regime!, it’s not hard to understand why shares outwith the UK are doing okay. Except, for banking sector shares where the UK lethargy has spread to Europe and the USA which enjoys absurd interest rates which attract the US presidents wrath.

 

From our perspective, the current situation with Lloyds demands the share price exceed 88p to provide “proof” a real cycle of gains has commenced. In such a scenario, we’re now looking for movement to an initial 110 with our secondary, if bettered, at 120p and some potential hesitation.

Should things intend go wrong for Lloyds, below 57p becomes troubling as it allows for reversal down to an initial 66p. If broken, our secondary works out at a probable bounce point down at 61p.

#FTSE #GOLD The FTSE is currently exhibiting a “teachable” moment, one worth paying attention to regardless of whether you’re looking forward to the Italian Grand Prix, along with an almost inevitable result which traditionally will exclude Ferrari but include quite a few unhappy Italians. To be honest, personally the Monza circuit is one of my favourites, due to being around it a few times on motorcycles. My wife finds it hilarious watching, when the Monza race takes place, as my muscle memory kicks in, my body moving like a puppy’s legs when its enjoying a good dream. This from the lady who once passed me twice on a single lap of another track!

As for the “teachable moment”, one of our tenets of faith relates to the level at which a price, index value, or whatever, breaks an uptrend (or a downtrend). Obviously, similar to absolutely everything relating to the stock markets, this theory will never be 100% reliable but experience shows it’s right most of the time. There are a couple of rules;

1.    If a price exceeds the level of an uptrend break, it becomes exceedingly likely the trend break was “fake” and gains can be expected. In the case of the Blue circled area on the chart at the start of August, the uptrend broke at 9132 points. Within a couple of sessions, the market exceeded the trend break level, eventually achieving the recent high of 9357 points. This also proved the convincing looking green uptrend was utterly fake!

2.    There’s another situation which occurs, when a price breaks below an uptrend then regains the trend shortly thereafter. This is a Big Deal, usually suggesting some strong movement should be anticipated.

 

The recent break of the Red uptrend at 9238 points, theoretically dumped the FTSE into a zone where we should anticipate weakness to 9027 points with our secondary, if broken, a probable bottom at 8919 points. Our inclination is not to take this terribly seriously just yet, unless of course the FTSE stumbles below the recent low of 9108 points.

More likely, it feels like index gains should be possible in the near term, movement above 9234 points allegedly capable of triggering a visit to an initial 9281 points. Our longer term secondary calculates at 9339 points but from our perspective, the attraction shall occur if the index manages to close a session above 9238 points. This should open the doors for a cycle to commence to above 9700 points.

Have a good weekend. The markets are poised to probably be more interesting than the race from Monza.

#FTSE #Nasdaq   Like many children, being blessed with a father who’d a terrible sense of humour left some long term effects. Once such, from a personal standpoint, involved the price of silver and a father perfectly capable of enlisting slave labour to maximise on (this childs) greed. On a Saturday evening, the family would gather for dinner, then around 9.30pm our parents would head out to lock up the two retail off-licences at 10pm, returning home with the days takings. No-one liked counting the money and as a child, the novelty wore off pretty quickly.

But my dad invented a cunning plan, telling me all the silver coinage dating before 1947 could be kept as “payment”, his story being UK coinage after 1947 didn’t have any silver in it. This part of his ploy was actually true but the reality was the coins were not worth any more than post 1947 coins. But with the agreement I could keep all UK silver coins which dated before 1947, I would happily look forward to my parents each returning with the days takings, even making sure the dining room table was cleared to make the job more efficient. While my parents settled down with a whisky, I’d settle down sorting the money out first, various denominations of notes going into separate piles (and English notes set aside to be checked for forgeries). Generally, there would only be 15 to 20 pounds of coinage but with sufficient glimmers of silver to keep my greed alive.

Once my count from each shop was complete and reported to Mum, I was free to go through the silver coins (back then, there were sixpences!) and check the dates.  Some weeks there was even more than a £1 which I could keep, this number also reported to my mother. While my older brother and sister regarded me as a gullible fool, eventually a trip to a coin dealer ensured I left with £62 after handing over £55. Nowadays, I realise there were probably a couple of properly valuable coins in the mix, justifying his apparent largesse but my seven pound profit certainly gave bragging rights, unaware I’d effectively paid for my one hour lesson in counting cash every Saturday night, along with ensuring the dining table was cleared. Back then, off-licences could not open on Sundays in Scotland, hence the need to get cash “off site” and into a floor safe in the concrete floored kitchen. Mum would do the bank run on Monday mornings. Amusingly, the once intimidating bank in the centre of Glasgow now trades as a cat friendly restaurant, things being quite different since the 1970’s…

It was only recently I discovered coins from 1920 until 1947 only had a maximum of 20% silver content, making it not economically viable to extract the metal. But with this, as with many other of my fathers throwaway comments, it took a prolonged journey into adulthood to separate his humour from actual facts. Oddly, his joke about British Leyland turned out to be true, refusing to take any motor franchise (Rover, Triumph, Austin, Morris, MG etc) associated with British Leyland into the family dealerships as he described the company as trying to destroy the British car industry. It transpired this was true.

 

Leaving the land of reminiscence behind, the price of Silver has attracted a few emails, asking our opinion on the current renaissance in Silver’s price and whether it shall continue.

Our method to handle this sort of thing is to trying and divine the maximum price a share or commodity may reach, in accordance with our software. Obviously, figures such as this should not (but sometimes do) create a maximum ceiling for a price. We’ve certainly noticed, once a share price closes above one of our “maximum” levels, it’s game over from our perspective as any idea of a future high would be absolute fiction from us. While this inability to project numbers never seems to bother the UK Met Office, notorious for making up readings with their “Highest Temperature/Most Rain/Strongest Wind” ever recorded nonsense. This data is usually aligned with the Met Offices massive range of theoretical weather stations which don’t actually exist, creating a domino effect of incorrect data reinforcing itself.

As for the price of Silver, the immediate situation suggests movement above 41.48 should next attempt an initial 41.9 dollars. Our secondary, if this target is exceeded, calculates at a future $42.30 and this represents a really important number. Commodity price closure above such a point should be the point at which an assumption should be made something genuine is happening for the longer term. From our perspective, this suggests taking out a long position, crossing your fingers, buying some sort of good luck token, and forgetting about it for a while.

There’s certainly a chance the price may relax to around $39 once such a game changing event occurs but the reality is important. The price will have just illustrated it can go above a logical “top”, this being a really big deal for the longer term.  The price of Silver would need CLOSE below $38 to utterly spoil our optimism but for now, things look fairly hopeful.

Then again, so did Ferrari before last weekends Grand Prix, Belgium once again exerting its chaotic magic on the sport by producing a mostly enjoyable race.

#Gold #SP500   Adopting their name from a bleak village in the Scottish Highlands (Braemar, famous for highland games and royalty prowling around), the illusion of Braemar vanishes with summer as the reality of its location at 1,000 feet in the mountains makes itself known. The “twee” village mostly shuts down, so don’t expect to buy a coffee on a grotty day or find somewhere to warm up after a session at the nearby (occasionally) excellent Glenshee ski area. But the faux respectability from the name “Braemar” has been adopted by many company names.

Our favourite adoption of a name will always be The London Stores on the roadside in a place called Badcall, Sutherland. The tiny little shop has always been overloaded with everything imaginable, becoming hated during childhood as  I was expected to cycle the tortuous 4 miles from our cottage to collect a daily newspaper, when the papers were delivered around 4pm. Back then, neither TV nor Radio signals made it to that part of Scotland, creating a situation where newspapers were not only trusted but relied upon as a source of information. Additionally, my parents used the telephone in the local hotel bar as an excuse to go out at night, just to check on their business’s in Glasgow (drink/drive laws were more a suggestion then)… Few things were more annoying than arriving at The London Stores and discovering the papers has been delayed, usually due to issues with the railway line from London, some 750 miles south. Usually it was raining but Mr McKay at the shop would always have a refreshing cup of tea, while I waited. It is difficult to explain these circumstances even to other adults, the idea of such a separation from “real life” on the UK mainland, difficult to comprehend, even if it was around just 50 years ago. But I’ve never forgotten “The London Stores”, thankfully remaining in business and with substantially better parking than in the olden days. And of course, newspapers arrive early in the day, though in far fewer quantities than in days of yore! The Kinlochbervie area in Sutherland is no longer a communications black hole.

 

As for ship brokers Braemar Plc, their share price has certainly been lacking some lustre this year, doing quite a lot of meaningless messing around and failing to establish any confident suggestion of direction. It is certainly the case where below 210p (Red) would now present concern, theoretically capable of triggering reversals down to an initial 175 with our secondary, if broken, an eventual 120p and hopefully a rebound.

The company would need experience gains above 281p (Blue) to give some solid evidence the share price intends enter a growth cycle, allowing for gains to an impressive initial 437 with our secondary, if bettered, at 554p and capable of challenging the previous all time highs!

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.
