IQE plc #DAX #Brent Sometimes, it’s enjoyable attempting to link a funny experience to a share price movement. In the case of #IQE, I’m reaching to find any link between their recent price growth and something which happened to me last week. As regular readers know, I’ve been doing chemo to treat leukaemia and my six months of treatment completed on Friday. My brush with utter stupidity occurred, leaving the hospital on Thursday evening, opting to leave the chemotherapy plumbing attached to my right hand.

FTSE for FRIDAY #DAX #SP500 The wonderful lack of logic which is the UK stock market continues to confuse, with Guernsey overtaking Reunion Island in checking our Friday projections. We rather like taking an “if it were a share” stance, when backed into the current corner as often this will prove the correct approach and get to the bottom of the problem.

Centrica #GOLD #Nasdaq Something quite remarkable is going on with Centrica. Of course, perhaps it’s only remarkable from our perspective but we cannot ignore the share’s chart has a RED line which goes back to the dawn of time. Perhaps we’re seeing the market pretend confidence in Brexit, perhaps there’s some sort of calibration error in our numbers. (there isn’t) Continue reading “Trends and Targets for 28/02/2019”

Lloyds Group #DOW #CAC40 On this day in history, 26th February, Napoleon Bonaparte escaped from Elba, returning to France to regain power. Lloyds Bank, equally, has achieved something thought impossible, returning above the prior uptrend and now, the share price resides in the land of milk and honey, promising great things for the future. Apparently… Continue reading “Trends and Targets for 27/02/2019”

Laura Ashley #Gold #SP500 It’s funny how a dislike for a share can be formed. In the case of Laura Ashley, it was the case of owning a cottage built in 1702, combined with the lethal mix of a girlfriend and a fairly local Laura Ashley store. Neither the house nor the girlfriend remain in my life, only a lifelong distain for anything from “Laura Ashley”. Continue reading “Trends and Targets for 26/02/2019”

FARON PHARMA #Brent #DAX Finally, after 6 years, a significant milestone was reached in my personal journey through the joys of Leukemia. This one was odder than most, involving the protocol of going for a pee. (Keep reading, it is true toilet humour!) When first going through chemotherapy back in 2013, I was warned extensively about the danger posed by urine as the chemicals were expelled. My wife and I developed a complete bio-hazard protocol, effectively ensuring Russian secret agents could do what they wanted to our toilet pan, no-one was going to get hurt.

FTSE for FRIDAY #DAX #Nasdaq Sometimes we wish part of the #FTSE would follow our political leaders and break away from the main index. It could call itself “the Whoopsie” and be ignored by the rest of the market. But the media would doubtless focus closely on what it was doing to the detriment of everything else.
