#FTSE #Stoxx50  We’ve been ‘enjoying’ a battle with a practical joke grand-daughter. Somehow, she discovered the secret codes to systematically remove the beeps from each function of our microwave, claiming she hates electronic beeps. Another object of her humour was the kitchen Ninja cooker thing, a device which has an entire electronic choir embedded, along with our dishwasher. Finally today, the little monster was shipped home, gleefully saying “good luck finding the beeps” as she dispensed the usual hugs, doubtless thinking we’d plead with her to undo the witchcraft at the end of August holiday weekend.

Little did she know we also harboured a secret. To reset each device, it just needed unplugged for a few seconds, the beeps once again assuming their rightful place in the kitchen symphonic background. Quite how she’s going to cope, discovering the alarm tones in her phone have been replaced with AC/DC music samples, should be interesting. And as she’s now a teenager, this battle could continue for the next 5 years. Or if she follows her mother, the war of elaborate jokes will never end.

Rather neatly, this brings us to our immediate subject, hVivo Plc, not because they’re a joke, quite the opposite. But when a bunch of emails arrived asking us to update our outlook as we hadn’t looked at them since last year and our target had been achieved earlier this year. We thought it a joke, ‘cos we try and avoid “bunching” share topics and discussing Futura Medical one day, then covering another company in the same sector the next day risks being about as boring as listening to someone else talk about their illness.

However, hVivo Plc certainly achieved our initial target in February, so we can justify another look at their share price.

The situation now is fairly interesting, the share breaking through the downtrend since 2021 and actually closing above the trend. This probably explains the emails received!

Currently, above 18.25p calculates with the potential of a lift to 22.75 next. Our longer term secondary, if such a level is exceeded, works out at 28p. While quite a lot of enthusiasm is possible for the initial target, we’d prefer seeing the share price close a session above 21.6p before being comfortable about the potentials of our secondary – and beyond. For reasons which escape us, share prices seem to feel it’s important for a price to close above a level which defined a trend before displaying solid acceleration. In the case of hVivo, the trend defining 23.25p of February this year also had a closing price at 21.62p and this is the number to beat. And yes, we agree, it is very strange…

 

If everything intends go horribly wrong, below 13.5 risks being quite troubling, risking a visit to 6.4p and hopefully, an ultimate bottom. Visually, it seems unlikely.

#Gold #SP500  A day when you learn something new is never wasted and the discovery that Futura Plc’s (specialists in Transdermal Drug Delivery technology) reason for existence is actually glaringly obvious. The word Transdermal threw a bit of a curved ball but, it means absorbing drugs via the skin. It could be a cream, it could be a slow release patch, but this is all that’s meant by the term. Doubtless the mechanism involved is fairly complex and personally, their innovation cannot come fast enough.

As someone with a personal axe to grind regarding medicines, a combination of daily chemotherapy pills, daily Diabetes T2 pills, blood pressure pills, and an astonishing number of pills given to deal with the side effects of the core pills, leads to an utter distaste for medical regimes. Once a month, after collecting 28 days worth of drugs, there’s a depressing job of settling down and spending the next hour or so, filling four pill dispensers with morning and evening drugs. It’s depressing, ‘cos each and every pill reminds of the illness it treats as, trust me, you don’t squeeze a pill out of its packaging and thank it for keeping leukaemia at bay.

 

After reading about Futura’s activities, a future where slapping on a slow release ‘patch’ seems quite attractive though perhaps, in my case, I’d require rather a lot of the things. One thing which proves infuriating is the packaging standard for medicines. There isn’t one! Instead, each company tries hard to outdo the others by making pills difficult to remove from film wrapping. Asking the pharmacist if it was possible to just order a jar of each pill type received a blank stare. My dog, on the other hand, needed antibiotics last week and we were given a jar with a course of 18 pills, each of which needed concealed in peanut butter to fool her into taking them.

 

Personal grudges aside, Futura (who probably love the current reboot of Futurama on telly) are currently proving fairly interesting as their share price need only exceed 62p to hopefully trigger the price into a cycle with some gains. Initially, we can calculate an initial 73p as possible with our secondary, if beaten, working out at 91p and some possible hesitation. As the chart below shows, their share price has actually proven fairly stable over the years, lacking the warning visuals implying over-enthusiastic internet chatrooms have been infecting price movements.

After so saying, future price closure above 91p is almost certain to dump the price into a region, where a future 154p calculates as very possible.

 

Should things intend go wrong, the price needs below 32p to cause trouble, looking capable of provoking reversal to an initial 17p with secondary, if broken, at a bottom around 9.6p.

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

Lloyds Banking Group (LSE:LLOY)  It’s sometimes said a journey of a 1,000 miles starts with a single step. This continues to be an issue with the retail banks in the UK (and Europe) as they’ve not learned how to walk, let alone lace their shoes. The grim reality the market still faces has been the painful lack of recovery since the Banking Crash of 2009. This is always an issue as did the crash occur when shares hit bottom or did it occur at the end of 2007, when shares started to describe lower lows? Our preference is to regard 2009 and the point when share prices hit a bottom as the crash though, at times, it feels like what happened was a real crash and the patients remain severely injured.

However, when reviewing Lloyds, it is easy to forget the really Big Picture, perhaps sharing some sympathy for those who’ve seen the value of their little nest egg decline from above £10 a share back in 1999 to a current 45.12p.

As the chart below highlights, it’s not a pretty sight, making one question why the banks are failing to do anything to give shareholder value. While the current policy of ‘Debanking’ clients for their political or social views is perhaps generating headlines, it’s doing nothing to sort a rot which actually started 24 years ago for Lloyds.

 

 

Our immediate perspective on Lloyds allows us to generate a dubious argument favouring a future top of 110p, should the correct volume of pixy dust be sprinkled over the share. All Lloyds needs do is take the first step, one which is quite easy!

Currently, above 47.3p should generate price recovery to an initial 49.3p, not the most ambitious step for the share to make. However, should 49.3p somehow be exceeded, our secondary is now at 56.5p and a price level which demonstrates a reasonable higher high, giving a solid suggestion an escape from the misery of the most recent Covid-19 crash is around the corner. Surprisingly, this 56.5p almost exactly matches the share price level on the day the markets decided to again trash the banks and we believe this shall prove to be a price level, where closure above 56.5p should be capable of broadcasting a solid change in the banks prospects.

We can draw lines until the cows come home but, for the banks, we think only a record of “higher highs” shall kick share prices into life. Therefore, with closure above our 56.5p target, we will feel happy speculating a long term haul to 110 has commenced.

Unfortunately, as the chart above since 1998 demonstrates, 110p isn’t terribly impressive!

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

FTSE for FRIDAY (FTSE:UKX)  It’s fairly obvious the FTSE intends head to 7840 points as the next major point of interest! The only problem appears to be a lack of will to actually go there. This week has provided a perfect ‘case in point’, the market essentially hitting the 7700 level, then just stopping as if a bunch of Just Stop Oil protestors were in the way.

Perhaps the FTSE has employed folk to wear Day-Glo jackets, parading around brokers to ensure FTSE 100 share prices stop recovering in a miraculous order, one capable of stalling the FTSE collectively at the 7700 point level. With share prices, we’re quite used to the formation of Glass Ceilings or Glass Floors, always with the expectation they shall break with strong movement following thereafter. But when an index which comprises 100 shares somehow conspires to stall so obviously, it’s only human to raise a question mark. Visually, this is as fishy as a snollygoster banker trying to explain the Farage farrago.

 

 

If we park our cynicism for a moment, the situation now exists where above 7710 points should apparently be capable of an attempt at a pretty tame 7735 points next. Our secondary, near term, works out at 7771 points. If triggered, the tightest stop loss looks tight at 7686 points, almost suspiciously reasonable.

Importantly, if taking us as gospel with an overall target level remaining at 7840 points on this cycle, we’d regard below 7610 as capable of utterly trashing our calculations.

 

Our alternate, negative, scenario allows for weakness below 7686 points to trigger reversal to a fairly benign 7665 points with secondary, if broken, at 7651 points.

 

Have a good weekend. Hopefully this Grand Prix is a bit better than last weekends.

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

#Gold #Nasdaq  It’s not often a FTSE 100 component makes a 21% upward shuffle but Rolls Royce finally enacted something we’ve been waiting for since March of this year.  Of course, with such a movement, there was an immediate urge to trigger a glitter bomb but of course, as it’s 2023, it transpires glitter is in short supply.

Okay, we’re kidding about the Rolls Royce celebrations but serious about the shortage of the annoying material. With grand-daughters visiting during the school holidays, one of their “things” is to collect sea shells and rocks from the beach, choosing to paint and decorate them on days when the Scottish weather turns… Scottish. Today was one such day, a trip to the beach rained off by mid afternoon, prompting a visit to a local craft shop to replenish supplies of paint, glue, and glitter. It transpires glitter is in short supply, the problem not actually blamed on a supply chain crisis but instead, either the motor or boat industry, both of which apparently use copious amounts of glitter in their paint. In the USA, there’s also another suspect in the covert use of glitter, the toothpaste industry! Quite why toothpaste variants use aluminium and polyethylene utterly defeats us but, to be honest, we don’t mind. Anything which ensures the girls don’t have access to glitter is a good thing as generally, it takes months until every inevitable spillage almost vanishes.

 

The market was certainly impressed with the news from Rolls Royce, opting to gap the share price up from 152p on Tuesday to an opening price of 175p on Wednesday, a lift of 15% before any trading actually took place. We’d been waiting for a visit to the 190p level and were amazed all the heavy lifting was enacted in one day. Given our target level was slightly exceeded, some quite fascinating potentials are opening up for the longer term, the first of which is a suggestion movement now above 192p should make an attempt at 232p next with secondary, if bettered, at 244p. Given the proximity of these target levels, we rather suspect some hesitation will be on the cards, especially as they match the pre-Covid19 highs of 2020, a price level which many shares tend stumble at.

At this point, we can switch to our Bigger Picture calculation tier as it demands share price CLOSURE above 232p to once again trigger the potentials of extraordinary long term movement for Rolls Royce, giving an ambition at a distant 307 with secondary, if bettered, a truly amazing 397p. However, a lot will depend on what actually happens around the 232p level as we do suspect any market hesitation at such a level will impact on longer term hopes and dreams.

 

For everything to now go wrong for Rolls Royce, their share price needs wither below 133p, risking a visit to 100p initially with secondary, if broken, at 66p, a drop calculation which doesn’t even look silly! For now, we suspect everything has changed for the better, at least until 232p makes an appearance.

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

#FTSE #Wall_St  As a small, fat bloke with diabetes, it’s rare do I get to say “this company is targeting me!” but it’s pretty clear I’m a small, fat, part of Optibiotix target market. In fairness to myself, losing 30+kg since the Diabetes diagnosis hasn’t hurt one bit. Optibiotix specialise in what they call “Lifestyle Diseases”, probably better thought of as self inflicted harm and aside from a propensity to use big words, their website is worth a visit, where they endeavour to prove science can help humanity, ideally not by blowing them all up.

 

We’re a little concerned at the surge in Opti’s share price over the last five sessions as it looks almost too impressive, the sort of thing typically spawned by over-optimistic internet chatroom gossip. But, the other side of the coin is the reality the share price has finally moved into a situation where considerable hope is almost possible for the longer term. We just wish the share had managed to close marginally higher than 37.6p on the 25th July as this would’ve created an official “higher high”, bettering the figures from July 2022. Instead, by matching this point on the historical chart, it creates a situation where we shall not be surprised to witness some hesitation at current levels.

If we lay cynicism aside and instead, focus on our calculations, it appears above 38.5p should next promote recovery to an initial 42.25p with our longer term secondary, if bettered, working out at 54.4p along with almost certain hesitation given historical behaviour through 2020 and 2021. From our perspective, the share needs closure above 54.4p to create a game changing environment, one which should permit future growth to 84.2p with a Big Picture secondary at a distant looking 131p.

 

If everything intends go pear shaped, the share price needs below 22p to ring serious alarm bells. Such a disaster risks triggering reversal to an initial 16p with secondary, if broken, at 9p and hopefully a bottom capable of restarting the recovery process all over again. To be fair, we’d already hope for a bounce at the 16p level, given it has the prospect of tangling with the Blue downtrend on the chart, one which dates back to 2018.

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

#Gold #S&P500  It was once said, the Church of England could be best described as the UK Conservative Party at Prayer. Given the historical association of senior Conservatives** with Tullow Plc, perhaps the company could be referred to as why UK Conservatives Wish Wikipedia Didn’t Exist! A share price going from £16 to an eventual 7p remains a truly impressive feat.

Thankfully, there are signs Tullow is on the edge of some slight share price recovery with hints a reboot is in the offing, though probably not as good as the rebirth of the Futurama satirical cartoon on telly.

Presently trading around 33p, the share price wandering above 35p should next trigger some recovery to an initial 45p with our longer term secondary, if exceeded, calculating at 56p. Visually, it would be reasonable to anticipate some hesitation at the 56p level, given its price history over the last few years. We shall be inclined to regard closure above 56p as key from a Big Picture perspective due to sufficient strength existing which implies 85p is a viable target for the distant future.

 

All things considered, it appears 2013 produced a perfect storm of shambolic news for Tullow, the company digging itself a hole and forgetting the cardinal rule, knowing when to stop digging. While the Wikipedia page produces a set piece of how not to handle PR problems, it certainly appears since 2013 the company has attempted a degree of stability, presumably while everyone works out just what the heck happened. As the chart shows, their share price has lacked anything approaching excitement for the last few years. With the company actually being a full service member of the industry, maybe it shall prove the case the current firm oil price will reflect on Tullows prospects.

 

For everything to now go horribly wrong, below 25p risks a visit down to an initial 22p with secondary, if broken, at 16p and hopefully a bounce.

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.
