#FTSE #STOXX It was hard to avoid publishing this zoomed snapshot from the office. One of the two garden crows, Sheryl, was patrolling the soggy lawn and grass cuttings. This bird is smaller than her partner – Russell – and has always been distinguished by white flecks on one side. However, seeing the bird face on gave the distinct visual impression the bird was wearing a white bra or bikini top as her white feathers are present on both sides! Our varied garden wildlife continues its tradition of being weird. As is Firstgroup…

 

We reviewed Firstgroup back in March, giving a long term target price level of 239p. In recent days, it has achieved 238p and stalled, carefully avoiding threading its way above 239p and we suspect this may prove quite critical. One of our favourite signals is triggered, when a share price exceeds one of our target levels on the first lunge but in this instance, the path from 183p to our 239p hasn’t exactly been a success as the market appears to have designated 238p as a ceiling. While this could be a data calibration error on our part, we’re not entirely convinced.

The immediate situation now looks like movements above 238p should provoke a visit to 241.5p, not the most profitable leap in a share price. But in the event FirstGroup price manages above 241.5p, things become more interesting as movement to an initial 282p looks possible with our longer term secondary, if bettered, a very useful 413p, a price level not seen since 2010…  To cut to the chase, we now regard it as the case this share price must close above 241.5p to signal a sea change in the share price potentials. Here’s hoping as Firstgroup has been visually parked for the last ten years.

#Gold #SP500 We’ve had emails asking about Mkango but first, Jeremy Clarkson actually provided some inspiration in his recent release of Clarkstons Farm. In one episode, he admits his favourite machine is a bush eating robot, providing some interesting possibilities. It was a surprise when wasting time on YouTube Shorts, a video of a robot tracked vehicle which used spinning flails to cut grass proved captivating. Despite the machine looking like an extra from the dystopian future of Terminator, there was something quite attractive about the idea of using something like a bomb disposal robot to butcher the grass, using a remote control and embedded camera. And with the tracks, it could even climb down to the lower garden, scaring the heck out of anyone passing by.

It was clear Mr Clarkson may actually have a point. Thus, the unheard of happened, a link was clicked on a dodgy Chinese YouTube video. The price of the thing was absurdly cheap, under 400 quid. Puting this into context, replacing the cutting deck attachment for the little tractor (which cannot make it down to the front lawn) had grudgingly cost just over £600 a few years ago. With a Chinese company flogging an entire robot on the AliExpress website for a lower cost, the idea of sitting at the coffee table on the patio with a remote control gizmo is truly attractive. The machine from China, powered by a civilised petrol engine, is now under serious consideration and the idea of grass being finely cut by a rotating flail is quite interesting. Unfortunately, this was the cue for another YouTube rabbit hole, comparing varied methods of cutting grass. It transpires this new fangled flail idea could be quite superior to the current cutting deck which has two massive rotating sharp propellers which give a cutting width of nearly four feet. But it is high maintenance.

An inordinate amount of consideration is being given to the idea of buying this clickbait item. It could also be used to terrorise wildlife in our Argyll garden.

 

As for Mkango, a company who aim to become a market leader in producing recycled rare earth magnets etc, there seems to be an almost hysterical wave of optimism for their future share price. To be fair, we’ve around 50 hard drives stored which contain considerable amounts of data we no longer use, nor will ever be interested in. They are helpfully labelled and generally require a single Western Digital thump to allow them to spin back into life. There is no way they are going into landfill and probably face a future when an upright drill tears a hole through each pristine disk. We’d never considered a company like Mkango would regard these products as recyclable but it wouldn’t hurt to make them inaccessible and toss them in the direction of a company who can make use of the contents. Doubtless the motors which spin them above 7,000 rpm contain some worth.

 

We’ve established Mkango share price closure above 37.5p shall be regarded as important for the longer term for Mkango, capable of triggering price movement to an initial 47.5p with our secondary, if bettered, at a future all time high of 61p. There are some truly optimistic numbers being bandied around for the share price but only if the price manages to close above 61p, nearly twice the current level, shall we dare believe some of the “sky is the limit” numbers being bandied around for this AIM listed share.

Probably a company worth doing some research into.

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

#Brent #Nasdaq Our enthusiasm for Formula1 has been diminishing somewhat this year. Until the UK’s weather produced a superb weekend at Silverstone, a race which demanded drivers display skill and experience and created a situation where the rookie drivers collectively failed to finish. It transpires the reason for such a great race was rain pouncing on the circuit for a while, and when the deluge stopped, it was to take an age before the track dried. Pirouetting cars became the order of the day, one team (HAAS) even producing a spin off with both their cars perfectly synchronised as  they headed to the barriers. The commentators even mentioned the team deserved a bonus point for such a tidy disaster between two team mates.

Of course, this has created a gullible situation, where we’re now looking forward for the Belgium race in 3 weeks. This race can also be pretty chaotic, so perhaps some resumption of enthusiasm for F1 shall continue. But Silverstone also created slight guilt as, here in Argyll we constantly moan about the rain, forgetting it’s often the missing ingredient for a good Formula1 race. Or in the case of Silverstone this year, an excellent race, even though Hamilton failed to secure a podium position and looked like he was taking it easy to give the guy ahead, his friend Nico Hulkenburg, his first podium finish in 15 years of racing.

 

If only we could gather as much enthusiasm for Lloyds share price, the value proving quite spiteful in its behaviour. Three weeks ago when we reviewed Lloyds, we presented 79p as being a trigger level for some real growth. During the intervening period, the highest achieved has been just 77.6p, then the share price slithered back under its miserable rock of tranquillity. At times it feels like Lloyds are battling an invisible entity, one which is determined to inhibit any real increase in value.

However, similar to Formula1, we now have hope for the future. But unfortunately, the trigger level of 79p remains pristine and valid. It is now the case, movement above 79p should trigger a share price gain to a confident looking (but pathetic sounding) 81.5p. While we suspect some hesitation to occur at the 81.5p level, our longer term secondary calculates at a more useful 87.3p, a share price level where the invisible entity shall doubtless introduce reasons to slow things down, perhaps due to the share value equalling the highs of ten years ago in 2015.

Things are clearly becoming a little silly and frustrating, when we’re reduced to blaming things on “invisible entities!” There’s already a suspicion such a being is assaulting this writer in his private life, stealing hair and creating a great deal of frustration. A receding hairline had always been thought to be something which occurred over a period of years. Instead, just 5 months this year and folk are starting to comment…

Returning to Lloyds, should the share price eventually close above 87.3p, a wild ride into the future is expected.

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

#FTSE #WallSt  Worldwide, fireworks are used to celebrate getting ride of the Westminster Government or, in the case of Guy Fawkes, even an attempt to get rid of the UK’s celebration of greed and incompetence. The US markets, closed for 4th July, traditionally exert a calming effect by their closure, ensuring Europe doesn’t end the day by doing anything interesting. And of course, Friday night in America will culminate with massive displays of fireworks, generally to the annoyance of the major cities who deem them dangerous.

Historically, we’re never shocked at seeing the FTSE behave as if it has slipped its leash, running around on 4th July as if it were doing something important. But unfortunately, the UK market also slouches back toward the starting level for the day, dashing any illusions of hope (or gloom) which the session falsely implied. But on the bright side, it’s the UK Grand Prix this weekend, where we shall doubtless see Louis Hamilton finish fairly high in the points, along with the jingoistic potential of Russell George reversing into position as the race winner… It will be nice, if Formula 1 decided to reintroduce racing to the sport as things still feel very contrived. Watching a rookie driver slicing through a pack of cars to torpedo Max Verstappen at the Austrian race was a breath of fresh air, effectively dismantling a race where the result had been a forgone conclusion.

Who knows, maybe this weekend at Silverstone shall provide some surprises, other than the fireworks at the chequered flag when George Russell wins! Cynical? Us?

 

With regard the FTSE, the UK index is regarded as being in an upward cycle, thought of as just messing around since the start of June while awaiting the correct set of circumstances to head up properly. Personally, we suspect this shall prove to be interest rate manipulation by the Bank of England, an organisation which appears to believe its function is to stop the country from prospering, adhering to an economic model which is increasingly ridiculed…  The concept of increasing Interest Rates, to push up prices, to combat inflation, still makes a sentence which fails to make any sense.

From a near term perspective, it appears movements above 8838 should next trigger gains to a useless 8849 points with our secondary, if bettered, an ambitious 8892 points. If triggered, our suggested stop level is at 8800  But we suspect it will be worth remembering the US is closed with the result any movement above 8849 risks fizzling out like a Pound Shop firework, the market doubtless intending to finish the day flat.

If trouble is expected, below 8800 risks kicking off reversal to an initial 8771 with our secondary, if broken, calculating at 8744. Our thoughts on the secondary target are doubtful, given an expectation the market shall end the day flat.

 

Have a good weekend, hopefully drier than forecast for here in Argyll.

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

#Stoxx #Dax  We’ve long had a problem with the company, formerly known as Research Machines, the company championing their outdated and useless computers in the early 1980’s, technology which was really only capable of teaching pupils where the On/Off switch was, along with some vague keyboard skills. The problem was they boasted of owning a 40% share in school computers, this against a backdrop of the IBM PC taking the rest of the world by storm. It was the equivalent of teaching pupils Scottish Gaelic to ensure they’d be proficient in foreign languages, before releasing them into a world where everyone speaks English.

From a personal perspective, already coding at home while Research Machines successfully sold the idea “a computer is a computer” to an educational establishment ignorant of the industry, was frustrating, even some teachers perfectly aware of the divorce from reality being inflicted in schools. In fairness, this was early days with lots of false starts but when the first IBM PC’s appeared in late 1980, it became clear within weeks of the direction the industry was taking. The only problem, you already had to be on the road to know the correct direction. In a brilliant example of how folk fail to learn, 15 years later we had British Telecom convincing themselves the Internet was a fad which wouldn’t last and the concept called Broadband really would never experience any real demand.

 

With the mid-1990’s, Research Machines renamed themselves as RM, continuing to produce products for schools, eventually producing something which was designed to “protect” pupils and staff from inappropriate online content. Amusingly, a few years later, a nephew explained how he’d by-passed this hindrance at his school, and was warned not to get caught. He revealed his method was in use with the entire staff – with the exception of the schools IT department.

 

As for RM’s share price, it has been experiencing a pretty tough time since 2020, reaching a low of around 18p and now, trading around 82p, actually exhibits some hope for the future. If we adorn ourselves with a Captain Sensible Hat, above 134p could be regarded as a sane recovery trigger, movement above such a level suggesting an initial target of 193 with secondary, if bettered, at 261p. Obviously, these massive gains sound a little outlandish but the funny thing is, the current price cycle introduces the concept of recovery above 92p as ticking the first box in a cycle to 134p, the all important trigger level for big moves.

Conversely, we’d comment share price closure below 75p risks promoting traffic downhill in the direction of an initial 54p with our secondary, if broken, calculating at 28p and hopefully a bouncy bottom.

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

#FTSE #Nasdaq  We’ve now reached that dangerous time of the year, when some idiot will write “only 176 more days until Christmas” or something equally depressing, such as “the nights are getting longer”… In our case, it’s a reflection of how boring the markets have been for the last couple of months, trying to find something more interesting to write about! From a personal perspective, experiencing an utter failure of my brilliant idea of wearing a model dragonfly on each hat deserves some comment! The creatures called “Clegs” here in Argyll (horsefly everywhere else) come out during July and August. Boasting painful and swollen bites on my right hand, along with another on my left elbow – biting through a heavy country shirt, I can confirm the Cleg season has started, meaning my dog walks will now take place on the sea shore rather than alongside freshwater rivers.  The things avoid salt water, unfortunately meaning we now must tolerate tourists on visits to the beaches.

When we last analysed Glencore share price, we finished our article with a paragraph which read as below;

In real life, Glencore share price dribbled down to a bottom of 205p on April 7th, closing the day at a less painful 230p, once again a victim of our final paragraph. This paragraph is where we relax and cover ourselves by pointing out the threats if everything goes wrong. Glencore joined a not very select group of shares who suffered from the curse of our throwaway comment.

We are understandably concerned at the share price moving below our 211 target and hitting 205 during the trading session on April 7th. However, some hope is being taken by the price closing in relatively safe territory, meaning we should look at “surprise” recovery prospects. But before we delve into this theory which projects gains, a glance at the immediate situation is suggested.

Below 205p now calculates with the potential of reversal down to an initial 182p with our secondary, if broken, at eventual bottom of 117p. It becomes very difficult to calculate below 117p at present, due to many target levels coming out with minus signs ahead of them.

 

However, there are some signals we generally associate with a bottom being attained already, so we’re more inclined to look for suggestions for share price gains.

Currently trading around 291p, Glencore needs to trade above 298p to hopefully trigger movements to an initial 324p with our longer term secondary, if beaten, at 363p and a challenge against the Red uptrend since 2020. In reality, we need closure above a future 355p to suggest impending movement of strength for the longer term. Essentially, closure above 355p should trigger a future argument which anticipates the potenial of a distant 509p as exerting an attraction. Surprisingly, the chart visuals strongly concur with such an optimistic hope.

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

#Gold #SP500   We’d a bit of a giggle with the insurance company who provide cover for the dogs car.  Our “spare” car is used entirely for the animals and by myself to visit the hospital on the mainland. Traditionally, it’s a car we expect to run into the ground, one where the MoT people finally say it’s not worth fixing. At this point, we tend list it on eBay for spares/repairs, giving it a starting price of 100 quid. It can be correctly assumed the dogs car doesn’t get lavished with care. When we renewed the insurance last week, the accepted quote was just £182 and everyone was happy (Living in Argyll is not a high risk postcode for cars!)

A couple of days after renewal, the insurance company sent an email asking for confirmation of the annual mileage. The policy had been issued on the basis the car only did 2 thousand miles a year but when we checked the MoT’s, it transpires the spare car was doing just of 2,500 miles per year. When we informed the insurers, they demanded a further £139 per year or else they’d cancel the policy. We had a few days to think about it… My wife took over the phone call, perfectly aware I can be a touch acidic about corporate stupidity but this time, she also ran into a wall of sorts. A couple of days later she called them back, saying we’d no choice but to cancel the policy as the increase was absurd. We received a full refund immediately, less £6 due to the period already insured. She kept the call centre person on the line, while she did something clever.

“I’ve just taken out a new policy with your firm, at the original price, this time using 3,000 miles a year as the estimated mileage. And I’ve paid for it in full. Are there any questions?” She quoted the person the policy number, hearing laughter from the other end. There were no questions but the representative taking the call surely had a funny story to tell. It’s now been five days and they have not cancelled, so a battle with an insurance company was easily won, giving everyone a good giggle at the expense of software which didn’t allow human intervention.

Our hardliner attitude to insurance companies dates back to last year and our battle to get an insurance company to even acknowledge our garden shed disaster. In that instance, incompetence made us decide to play hardball, an attitude which still resonates when renewing the dogs car policy. (We are serious about this; the private registration number even ends in WUF (Golden Retriever dogs are extremely messy, costing a small fortune to have vehicles as diverse as TVR’s and Range Rovers professionally cleaned internally. Our favourite disaster came from the dog who stole a Vienneta from a cool bag while we were buying some wine, pushing it against the car glass as she forced her muzzle into the packaging, squirting chocolate and ice-cream onto the windows etc. This was a factory special TVR 290ti 2+2 with light brown leather upholstery, a model which never officially existed…  And the animal was the only dog we ever gave a middle name to; “Chaos”)

 

The “battle” with our car insurance company, an easy win, leads us to view Beazley with rather gentle eyes, rather than automatically launch into savage mode. Oddly, when we reviewed the company a year ago. Unsurprisingly, we’ve given criteria for gains to 755p, a potential ultimate level which held between July and November last year. However,. somehow or other, the share price managed to propel itself beyond our target level, almost a “no brainer” as this share had closed repeatedly above 755p.

 

With the company recently indulging in share Buy-Backs, reducing the number of shares on offer and ideally increasing the desirability of the share, moves next above 956 point in the direction of movement to an initial 992 with our secondary, if bettered, at 1007. The proximity of these targets, despite the exciting breathlessness of new all time highs, isn’t that great in terms of monetary leap. Our longer term attraction from 1038p isn’t that impressive but we’d warn, if the market finds an excuse to start “gapping” this price up, goodness knows how high it could go!

If things intend go wrong, below 911 risks promoting reversal to an initial 890 suggests a quote of 858 may be coming, our secondary if broken working out at 762 and a hopeful bottom.

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.
