#FTSE #Nasdaq Given #WestminsterGroup core function, the company are probably drooling at the prospect of Northern Ireland being separated from the UK. The current ludicrous situation, pet dogs (and all livestock) needing a passport to board the ferry, along with increasingly draconian regulations on trade (within the UK, it must be remembered!) must be weakening any argument for the province to remain as part of the UK. Of course, this sort of thing is Westminster Groups specialist subject, literally a global player in strategic security for many countries.

The company website certainly “talks a good game”, making us puzzle how a share which once traded up at 95p is now floundering down at the 5.58p level. While some research is probably merited, from our perspective we’re more than a little bit curious as to the relatively near future, thanks to the price enacting a Gap Down at the tail of 2020, followed by a Gap Up this week. Traditionally, when we see this sort of thing, it’s generally safe to anticipate a price getting ready to experience some irrational recovery.

It’s easy to believe market thinking was something along the lines of;

November 2020; “Westminster blotted their copybook. Punishment by forced the share price down”

June 2021; “Oops, looks like we overcooked the punishment. Best force the share price up to cover the error”

 

Despite 15th June presenting the market with a 41% gain at the end of the day, thanks to a large airport contract from The Congo in Africa, we’re not convinced the party has actually started! As the chart highlights, there is a very obvious downtrend which started nearly two years ago. Price movements on the 15th May certainly came close to the trend but even the high of the day at 5.78p failed to convince us happy days are ahead. In fact, we’ve a suspicion the share price shall require “gapped up” again. if the market is really serious about getting things moving.

 

The numbers are pretty complex against this, thanks to the gap (manipulation) movements throwing a spanner in our works. Immediately, there’s a demand price movement above 5.95 must almost certainly bring the share to an initial 6.65p. From our software perspective, we expect some hesitation at such a level unless the price is forced upward by a gap. Only above 7.3p dare we believe things shall become truly interesting, this being the trigger level which calculates with an initial 8.8p with secondary, if bettered, a longer term 11.25p.

In keeping with the Irish theme, if ever a share needed a 4 Leaf Clover for luck, Westminster are certainly in pole position. Their share price needs tumble below 4.95p to ring the first alarm bell, warning things may not be going as planned.

Our inclination is of hope for the future of Westminster Group.

 

As always, huge thanks to anyone who finds the adverts on this page worth visiting. We like our daily coffee!

#Gold #WallSt Mode Global appear to be a company in the right place at the right time. Formed just a few years ago, their stated aim is to ‘become a financial services business delivering the products of tomorrow, today’. Their website is alive with current buzzwords and even the classic ‘fintech’ is now presented with a capital ‘F’, obviously continuing attempts to make Fintech a real word. In fairness, it should be as one of the earlier components of the Fintech field, PayPal, continue to perform quite nicely.

Our eyebrows were raised, reading Mode Global are already in partnership with Tencent and Alibaba, both quite big deals.

Fintech, very basically, can be thought of as ongoing (successful) attempts to replace credit card companies as the method for online purchases. In this arena, Paypal can obviously take a bow, but the potentials continue to be discovered. Today, watching someone pay at a checkout by using their smartphone, was just another application where financial technology is increasingly used. No credit cards nor debit cards were harmed in the process, a single act which must be truly frightening to the entrenched players in the field of retail shopping. It’s easy to suspect some of the major banks must be nervously looking over their shoulder, when new startups appear, their size able to make the transition from “good idea” to “lets try it”, faster than traditional bank customers can type their code into an ATM.

We’ve run the numbers against Mode, the immediate share price prospects looking fairly useful. From our perspective, we can allocate 56.5p as a potential trigger level. In the event this level is exceeded, gains toward an initial 62p look possible with our longer term secondary (or later that day, if good news is involved) calculating at a very possible 70p. Visually, the share needs trade above 83.5p to enter ‘illogical’ territory where we can no longer work out upward numbers. In reality, we suspect we shall need revisit the company, should the 70p level be exceeded.

Condor Gold We’ve received a few emails asking us to look at Condor. Their share price is presently trading around 46.5p and appears to be adhering pretty firmly to the Blue downtrend on the chart, regardless of what’s actually happening to the price of Gold. Invariably, this behaviour tends result in a situation where movement, if triggered, tends be faster that the panic rush to change channel, if anything to do with the Scottish football team comes on TV. This, perhaps unfairly, isn’t just our own household. An acquaintance used to boast he’d never attended a Scotland football match, despite travelling the world with the team in his official capacity with the Football Association. It was certainly worth checking with him, when travelling abroad, as he could recommend fabulous restaurants everywhere!

It begs the question, does his behaviour contribute to the often dire performance of the national team?

 

On the chart below, we’ve painted a little circle around a share price movement recently. This surge to 52.5p, quickly reversed below the trend, gives what should be a reliable starting point as movement above this level works out with an initial ambition of 61p. If exceeded, our secondary calculates at 75p and visually, both target levels make quite a lot of sense.

Perhaps Condor shall prove worth watching. We’d panic, if it managed below 35p.

#BrentFutures #SP500 Watching a football match on TV, sudden inspiration suggested a way to ease suffering caused by Euro 2020 infecting the main TV channels. What if the winning side was the one which scored the first goal? It’d change the entire dynamic of the game, potentially making matches a lot faster with constant action. And those folk who have absolutely no interest in the game may find their opinion changed by a frenzy of activity with each match. Surprisingly, an alternate and surprising show also hit screens, a farming documentary hosted by Jeremy Clarkston of all people!

This quite different approach to an industry, (previously would inspired a rapid change of channel) was a real eye opener and begged the question, just why would anyone become involved. The harsh economics of sheep farming were quite brutal, a strong clue coming when three sheep were killed, essentially thanks to it being uneconomic to pay a vet to fix their infection. Why bother, when replacement sheep can be purchased cheaply? Once Clarkston’s inevitable clowning was forgotten, the economics of a relatively small farm were remembered.

A local farm here in Argyll recently become home to a flock of Jacob sheep. These things, visually more akin to goats than sheep, clearly had read the same instructions as Clarkston’s flock, turning into skilled escape merchants. Driving past their field this morning, a single black lamb had made its way under the fence. It was the work of a moment to stop, pick it up, and lay it back in the field, blocking the gap at the bottom of the fence with a thick branch. Returning an hour later, two adult sheep were now on the wrong side of the fence, all the tiny black lambs still in the field. Thankfully, a couple of mountain biker types were amusing the bolshy sheep, attempting to catch them without thinking of the consequences if successful. Adult Jacob sheep are decorated with severely intimidating horns, the farmer turning up before I felt the need to try out some of the lessons from the farming show I’d just watched.

 

All of this has nothing, and everything, to do with Lloyds bank. It used to be the case people would dream of counting sheep to send themselves to sleep. Sooner or later, “watching Lloyds” must enter popular language as an economic method to combat insomnia. When we previously reviewed Lloyds three weeks ago, we mentioned the 50p level as critical if price gains were to be expected. The share price has closed at 50p exactly on June 2nd, enjoying an utterly boring trading range of just 2p within the period. It’s becoming clear the share price needs to actually close above the 50p level to make some price recovery fairly certain.

Closure above 50p remains pointing at the potential of an initial 55p with secondary, if exceeded, calculating at 57.85p.

 

The converse argument for reversal, now triggers if the share price manages below 47.15p. This risks driving the price down to 45.25 initially. If broken, our secondary calculation and hopeful bottom works out at 43.5p.

#FreeFridayFutures There’s something quite curious happening with the major US indices. The S&P 500 recently achieved logical high levels, one of these points in time where we tend suspect some volatility will be required, prior to a future lift. Wall St, on the other hand, has not yet achieved the level we’d expect the markets to throw a bit of a wobble and it’s creating a pretty vague situation.

Our problem is simple. We calculated 4,265 as a level where some hesitation was expected on the S&P, the index essentially fluttering a few points below this level for the last month. Currently the market exhibits no signs of impending disaster, just a rigid refusal to actually climb higher. On the other hand, Wall St, still has a fair bit of climbing to match the current strength of the S&P, needing to reach a stonking 36,063 points.

The question is fairly simple. Will Wall St discover sufficient oomph for a further 1,000 point gain while the S&P continues to waffle around? Or will the S&P achieve some slight gains, should Wall St start to power upward. We’ve decided to set above 4,265 as a major trigger event for the S&P. Above this level looks capable of a lift to 4,333 points initially with secondary, if exceeded, calculating at 4,586 along with some very possible hesitation.

Wall St, conversely, needs above a trigger of 35,290 to suggest impending growth coming to an initial 36,063 points. If bettered (and cannot believe we’re writing this), our secondary works out at an impossible sounding 37,139 points. Similar to the S&P, we anticipate some market volatility should such a level appear.

The charts below highlight the brutal strength of the two US indices since the crash of 2009. Had the two markets moved in sympathy with the UK market, the highest they would have achieved by now would by 17,000 points for Wall St and 2,100 points for the S&P. Instead, for every step upward in the UK, the two primary US markets have taken 2 steps, a quite dreadful situation given the FTSE and the DOW JONES were regarded as joined at the hip until the financial crash of 2009.

As for our FTSE for FRIDAY, despite the UK market (and others) appears to take a “watch and wait” stance since the start of May, we keep feeling slight touches of optimism, a bit like seeing green shoots between paving slabs, a few days prior to a bunch of weeds suddenly surging upward. It begs the question, who’s got the weed killer for the FTSE to crush hope?

 

Will it be Covid-19, Boris, space aliens, or the ongoing Brexit shambles?

 

At time of writing, the FTSE is trading around 7,090 points and only requires exceed 7,122 as this will apparently trigger a surge in the direction of 7,153 points. If bettered, we’d hope to see our secondary calculation of 7,262 pretty fast thereafter. Or at least, in normal times we would. As the chart below displays with boring clarity, the FTSE continues to pole dance along the Red uptrend, a line which dates back to the lows of 2009 and the market crash. Those folk of a nervous disposition will doubtless only be convinced any upward break is real, if the FTSE finds an excuse to better its prior high of 7,164 points, achieved last month on May 10th.

 

Our converse scenario for the FTSE suggests the index needs trade below 7,040 points to justify some near term concern. This is liable to trigger reversals to an initial 6,971 points. If broken, our secondary calculates at 6,906 and the visuals hint at a bounce, should such a level make an appearance.

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

#Brent #SP500 It wasn’t difficult to find inspiration for tonight’s headline article. After driving a neighbour* 9 miles to the ferry terminal at 8am, the need to buy milk ensured a stop at a local village shop, a tiny little store with a post-office, selling groceries, fishing tackle, newspapers, welly boots, and booze. It even boasts parking spaces for 2 cars, both mercifully empty, and I pulled in. While paying for the milk, there was the sound of air-brakes outside as a fuel tanker double parked, blocking my exit.

*(Calling a taxi isn’t an option in the remote highlands. Their meters move faster than Bitcoin, when it reverses.)

As I left the shop, the tanker driver entered with a ‘just be a minute’ as he walked past.

His word proved good, he quickly appeared with a newspaper and soft drink. I started my engine, looking forward to my usual scan of the markets at the open while I try and figure out what the markets intend, prior to publishing our popular “Live Market” report sometime around 9.30am. The truck started its engine, lurched forward quite dramatically, the cab seemed to jump up a bit, and the air-brakes make an incredible noise. Then everything went quiet.

Long story short, it seems HGV’s have some sort of system to lock the brakes when parked and this HGV was refusing to disengage the mechanism. In front of me, a red post box ensured I couldn’t bump onto the pavement. To the rear, the parking area was lined with concrete bollards, so my car was trapped. When the driver finished his phone calls, he advised it would take some time for a repair crew to come across from the mainland. Making matters worse, my own mobile phone was on charge, beside my keyboard on my desk. My wallet was in my waxed cotton jacket, hanging on the back of my chair. I’d grabbed spare change from the car ashtray to buy the milk.

As I was now only around 4 miles from home, a brisk walk was ahead, smug in the knowledge I was in the highlands and we help each other. Invariably, someone would stop and ask if I wanted a lift. Unfortunately, this sort of thing only happens when you don’t need a lift. Cars driving past at 60mph, now in light rain, the concept of walking was feeling increasingly stupid. The final insult came just as my house came into view, my wife finally noticing I wasn’t around and exiting the driveway to search for me. She’d noticed my abandoned mobile phone and put two and two together. By now, I was utterly soaked, had forgotten to pick up the milk from the car, and was substantially late with publication of our futures report.

About the only bright thing from the exercise was the tanker. Tonight, I was going to write about a petrol company and there was a fair chance I would be quite spiteful.

 

For BP Plc, it’s always worth remembering the thick Red line on the chart. While we’d like to ridicule a trend line 30 years old, share price movements tend suggest the market is perfectly aware of this splash of colour on the chart. It creates a trading environment where the share price ‘Ultimate Bottom’ computes down at 29p and thanks to this calculation, share price drops can easily outperform with some dreadful amateur dramatics.

Our inclination is to believe the market shall become aware of this danger, hopefully opting to enact some panic recovery as is so often the case with such things. Given the current boost to Crude Oil prices, surely it’s about time oiler share prices started to enjoy the benefits of increased sale values too. With this in mind, something about recent share price movements is worth a glance. Despite our expectation of being negative on future prospects, BP has built itself a little glass ceiling in the last year at 324p and we notice today, 9th May, the share price finally closed a session above this level at 324.75p. While perhaps not the most significant of movements, we’re always inclined to optimism when a share is permitted to break a glass ceiling.

In the case of BP, as the chart below highlights, it’s perhaps an early warning for some proper price action.

Finally, we reach the part of the story where we must run some calculations for the long term. If the price movement on 9th May was indeed an early warning for happier times, we need explore whether recovery above the long term Red uptrend is a viable ambition. Equally, should we anticipate action which reflects the immediate Blue downtrend since 2019?

It appears the answer to both questions should be “Yes”.

Near term trades bettering just 330p should make recovery difficult to restrain as we’re calculating the potential of movement to an initial 369p. As shown below, this will marginally take the price above Red on the chart and into a zone of illusory safety. We’d hope our initial calculation would be exceeded with this scenario, making our longer term secondary target of 430p an extremely viable ambition. Movement beyond such a level starts to produce some surprising targets, the first of which works out at 516p and challenging the price highs prior to the pandemic hitting the fan.

Finally, there is an aspect of BP’s dance steps over the last 18 months which is worthy of additional consideration.

We’ve drawn a pretty circle on the chart below. Our idea of perfection would come, if the market somehow found sufficient excuse to “Gap Up” the share price at some point soon. This will create a “GapDown/GapUp” picture, a game plan which should make BP a perfect candidate for a hold, just to see how high the price intends go. It’s a thought!

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

#FTSE #Nasdaq One thing the clever people making tests forget is the 30 minutes spent in the car afterward, waiting for results while your eyes are watering and your throat is gagging. A weekly visit to an elderly relative in a nursing home has resulted in a game of “things to do while awaiting the all clear to enter”. The car has never had such a clean dashboard, spotless windows, even vacuuming the interior while awaiting for Covid-19 test results, a requirement before entering the building.

But I remain uncertain whether I will ever get used to intrusion so far up the nostrils, or poking around in the throat. But at least the 30 minute delay allows some productive time in the car park!

 

There seems considerable discussion as to what type of Covid-19 test is best and today, once my eyes stopped watering, took some time to review recent reports relative to Avacta. Glancing at some of their scientific information, only two numbers immediately stood out. Firstly, it appears the waiting time for results may be reduced to 20 minutes and secondly, a comment of a 99%/100% success rate in diagnosis for their latest product, recently granted medical approval. Personally, I’m not interested in the difference between testing and while it’s tempting to throw terms like “PCR” or “lateral flow test” into the sentence, my layman interest only wants the test to be accurate and avoid false positives (and false negatives).

 

When we reviewed Avacta last September, we teased with a chart showing 291p and a mention it was a region with substantial longer term gains. It took until April this year for the price to top out at 290p, cheerfully close to our target level and a number capable of creating considerable optimism again for the future. Alas, while sitting in the nursing home car park today, time was also take to glance at internet chatrooms to get a feel for what private investors are thinking.

One person what writing about the potential of the price heading to £40, another was promising £10 by Xmas. Thankfully, the majority of posters were embracing sanity while forgetting the 100:1 share split back in 2016 means a few long term holders will need this share to reach above £50, just to break even. When we adjust the share price to accommodate this history, it’s certainly the case a miracle is arithmetically possible. Strangely, the price does not require much work to give early signs for happy days.

The immediate situation is pretty straightforward. Presently trading around 238p, the share price now needs better 290p to enter a cycle where further growth toward 314p calculates as very possible. Should the 314p level be exceeded, we can supply 388p as a pretty impressive longer term ambition. At this level, the share split 100:1 risks effecting everything as our software, rather exhuberantly, projects the next target level at an insane looking 1,338p. Except, it’s not insane when historical share prices are adjusted to cope with the share split.

 

As always, we can paint an alternate scenario and for Avacta, the share price needs below 176p to trigger alarm. Such a severe dip currently threatens reversal to an initial 137p with secondary, when broken, at a bottom of 86p and hopefully a bounce. Currently there are no warning signs suggesting this is probable.

Yet again, our thanks to the folk who find adverts on this page worth a visit.

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.

#Gold #Dax_Futures Webis Holdings owns subsidiaries which trade in the gaming and technology sectors, operating from Isle of Man and the USA. We’ve been just a little curious as to their prospects, due to worldwide lockdowns effectively trashing their ability to offer wagers on a large number of racetracks globally. Given the change in USA facilities for sports betting gradually expanding as each state enacts new legislation, allowing the country to effectively catch up with the UK by betting via Mobile Apps and Desktop. Doubtless they shall also offer an awful onslaught of dire television adverts for the new services.

Our curiosity is pretty basic, wondering if the company shall indeed take advantage of the change in US regulations, especially as New York and California go through the process of licensing.

To be blunt, we suspect the US tax authorities took quite a hit from loss of gambling income and desperately are encouraging individual states to seek additional income streams from gambling duties and taxes, available from online betting. Long story short, our belief is it shall doubtless be worth taking a hard look at what Webis have planned as the company are a long established player in the betting field. Unfortunately, there’s an immediate requirement for Webis to enjoy a bit of positive news, something which will a particular threat to their share price presently making itself apparent.

 

Our immediate scenario suggests the following. Price movement below 3.9p (aka the current share price) risks promoting share reversal toward an initial 2.7p. If broken, our longer term secondary calculates down at 1.4p and we’d hope for a bounce should such a level make an appearance.

 

We’ve a pretty solid reason to hope for some sort of bounce from the current 3.9p level but unfortunately, the share needs some substantial movement just to give the first clue any rebound has integrity. Apparently, above 5.3p should bring movement to an initial 5.75p which, if exceeded, ticks the first box for hope for the future. Our secondary computes at 6.8p but importantly, given the circled area on the chart from earlier this year, it will be reasonable to anticipate such ambition being ignored as the share could simply power on upward toward 8.9p.

Above such a level and we shall need take a further look into the crystal ball for the longer term. It’s a bit of an oddball share and hopefully someone finds it of interest. And if they don’t, do check the adverts on this page as one of them may be useful (It pays for our coffee!)
