#Gold #WallSt   It’s funny how, on a day when we finally selected a new garden shed and ordered it, a couple of emails arrived asking our thoughts on a UK builder.  While it’s inevitable a success story like MGNS.L avoid fitting garden sheds, what’s proving a surprise is how difficult it is to find someone to actually build the sodding thing when it arrives on Friday. The manufacturer suggests assembly should be a 2 hour job, a figure which is doubtless rubbish when “assembly” meets real life. Our previous upper garden shed, the one which flew away in January storms, famously indicated a 6 hour assembly time but, in reality, it took three days for two of us to get the thing bolted together. This replacement shed is being placed on a bed of paving slabs, as solid as it gets, and my wife has banned me from taking any part in the build process for “health” reasons. This is a polite way of acknowledging she does not want the shed over-engineered, when I spot obvious weakness’s during construction.

During the January storm, being curious as to how my lower garden shed was surviving, after sliding open the doors it was impressive to realise the steel structure was utterly silent, despite the external battering from 80mph winds. Clearly, the additional bracing fitted was making a difference and regardless of whoever we eventually find to build our additional shed, there are going to be some efforts to strengthen the roof and walls internally.

The current situation is; a near neighbour owns one of the largest building companies here in Argyll and I asked him about the shed problem. He suggested approaching his teenage daughter as she would appreciate the cash, along with actually having something to do when she’s home from Uni for a weekend. This is going to be interesting…

 

As for Morgan Sindall Plc, their share price gives considerable hope further gains can be anticipated but there’s a danger the share price is approaching a logical ceiling. Should the stock market commence “gapping” this share price up at the open anytime soon, our target levels are liable to be exceeded but for now, we can only go with movements during this year. Currently, above 3155p should enter a cycle to an initial 3358p with our secondary, if exceeded, working out at a future 3750p and very possible hesitation. In the absence of evidence showing the price being manipulated upward at the open of trade, we are fairly confident it is approaching an imaginary ceiling.

Of course, we’ve an alternate scenario, one which asks for the share price to dig below 2950p to cause trouble, risking triggering reversals to an initial 2670 with our longer term secondary and bounce point working out at an eventual 2240p.

We like this one but potentially not for long.

#Brent #SP500  It was a strange weekend, one literally packed full of the potential for something really stupid to happen. For some reason, every 5 years when my wife decides to change car, something daft happens and this time, things kicked off with her falling out with a bloke moving felled tree trunks around with a JCB. A big rule, when around machinery, is to never make a movement unless eye contact has been made with the operator. It was clear the guy was focussed on building a pile of timber, so I suggested to my wife she follow the dog and I on a wide detour through the forest. Unfortunately,  I hadn’t factored in my wifes ability to read peoples mind as she decided to ‘safely’ shuffle sideways past the big yellow machine, eventually making eye contact with an utterly incandescent machine operator who’d hit the panic stop switch.

Her excuse of not wanting to risk her brand new white trainers on the forest floor didn’t impress the operator, not did her attempt to explain she knew he was only working on the right hand side of the track and would have no reason to swing the boom to the left. It all made understanding Ferrari colours quite easy, the bright Red of the chaps face blending nicely with the Yellow paint of the machine… Our drive to the garage to view the car she wanted was in a dangerous angry silence after I explained she wouldn’t dare approach myself or my brother, if we were using chainsaws. And neither would she dream of going over the firing line, when our grand-daughter was humiliating me on the shooting range. Similar to all husbands, I never disagree with her logic in public but in the JCB moment, avoiding entering the conversation with the operator was probably sensible. He was right, she was wrong and her excuse pathetic. Mud on trainers can wipe off, just like blood on heavy machinery.

We arrived to review her potential car. As always, she utterly refused to test drive other than mess around with the drivers seat settings to ensure her feet could reach the pedals. (Funny story, they DID NOT reach the pedals of an MGB GT Coupe, the one occasion she didn’t do this test. But I liked that car and regret saying goodbye.) Anyway, she did the pedal test, then accidentally jumped into the rear seat of the vehicle, leaving me to take it for a howl around the block. It was comfortable in the rear and apparently dogs will not be irritated by noise levels. The car was bought, the garage folk genuinely astounded at her annual mileage of just over 2,500 miles, an advantage of staying in Argyll. Me, I’m unlucky if I go above 1,500 miles per annum but we’ve cheerfully planned a 600 mile day to do a round trip with the intention of getting used to her new vehicle – and buy a new wood burning stove! In summary, nothing stupid happened (yet), we bought the car, we collect it next weekend.

 

All these plans for the future are interesting, making us wonder about Lloyds continuing to avoid making the dangerous first step of becoming useful. Perhaps this isn’t entirely fair, the share price breaking through the Blue downtrend back in May of this year, every single dance step thereafter paying careful homage to the downtrend. It creates a situation where immediate arguments become difficult, forcing us to try and discover what trend the market next  intends pay some attention to.  There is a chance the downtrend since 2015 shall be regarded as important, suggesting the potential of some real gains in the market price, if only it would start increasing in price.

Should this be the case, the immediate situation demands Lloyds share price exceed roughly 61.338p to trigger movement to a potential 72p with our longer term secondary, if bettered, working out at a future 88.7p. Obviously, such an event shall have the UK Royal family enacting repeated bows from Buck House but it’s worth considering our secondary target matches a prior high from 2015, along with the potential for some real hesitation.

It’s all a bit messy, like mud on white trainers, but feels like patience should be required as Lloyds should be heading upward.

#FTSE #Gold  Thursday proved to be a day of humiliation. One of our grand-daughters had asked to visit and while we suspected her intention was target rifle practice, somehow I found myself sitting outside in sunny weather, teaching her to play Don McLean’s “Vincent” aka Starry Starry Night on guitar. While the 11 y/o child has the voice of an angel, she shall never play guitar better than Taylor Swift level but somehow or other, the sunny afternoon kept her attention for a couple of hours while we unwittingly did a duet, again and again.  And again.

Eventually, we had it right, her cunning plan being to play her Mums favourite song at some point over Xmas. Neither of us had noticed occasional people were no longer walking along the sea shore below us. When we called it ‘good enough’, a bunch of folk applauded from behind the hedges and wandering into sight. Grand-daughter, used to being on TV and radio due to school stuff, was not bothered but personally, why does a chasm never open when needed! Making matters worse, our nearest neighbour, quite an internationally famous piano guy, had listened to the entire thing and was now considering dragging one of his piano’s outside as we had changed the mood of a basic and simple tune. The guy has 9 different rooms with different piano’s, each with different lighting and acoustics, and is a proper musician (aka, he reads music, has a recording studio, and gets famous visitors.) And to be fair, wouldn’t dream of allowing one of his posh piano’s to enjoy a vastly variable Scottish climate. But maybe next year we shall enjoy a Strat vs Stein fight over the 1812 in privacy, confusing our dogs who usually bark at each other over the stream and wall. Each can come to the others garden without hindrance but they love the barking contest. Most folk with a Fender Stratocaster experiment with classical music at some point but in this instance, there is a perfect point to turn something ridiculous like Strauss into fun.

The lesson learned was to do this in the back garden. And only sit at the front coffee table with plenty of wine to enjoy the view.

 

It’s becoming a bit of a chore doing our FTSE for FRIDAY, simply due to the lack of realistic action emanating from London. A couple of years ago, a report from the Office for National Statistics revealed portfolio ownership of UK listed companies by Pension & Insurance funds had slipped from nearly 50% down to just 4.2% in 2022. The theory now circulating suggests international investors are not interested in UK shares, as UK institutional invests avoid them like the plague. It is certainly a theory worthy of consideration, one which is backed up by the number of companies fleeing a UK listing for the attraction of Wall St and an environment where share prices actually move meaningfully.

It’s said the majority of changes to the value of the FTSE this year are due to the value of companies replacing those leaving their UK listing behind. Without a doubt, something quite awful is going on and while our personal belief the UK’s trauma’s are a reflection of the UK’s incompetent political regime which has been happy to experience a future ruled by a complete monopoly, one which almost seems immune to any legal action by the FCA against those folks caught colouring outside the lines. However, from the start of December, the UK monopoly has awarded itself a new set of rules to work from, an initiative designed to reduce the number of companies fleeing London to set up home in foreign climates which actually value corporate initiative. Unfortunately, it’s being said the movement is too little, too late, and risks creating a UK FTSE where the bricks of the market shall prove to be made of hollow bamboo with shareholders given a reduced voice on major matters for a company future.

 

Our grump about the markets is obviously due to September wasting everyone’s’ time, the UK central bank dodging its opportunity to become useful and now, we’ve entered October with the organisation claiming it plans aggressive movement on interest rates until the year end. This panic statement tends concur with a suspicion the penny has finally dropped amongst governmental institutions that they’d dropped the ball, literally failing to favour the most important and valuable part of British industry, the Financial Sector.

Maybe it shall prove the case where October shall start to deliver some optimism, both due to forthcoming changes in FTSE rules and changes in UK interest rate policy. This being the case, it should be easy to identify early warning signs for happier days ahead with some genuine index movements.

Should this be the case, near term movement exceeding 8333 points should trigger market recovery to an initial 8367 points with our secondary, if bettered, at 8411 and a reasonable chance of some hesitation, due to historical highs. Market closure above 8411 shall be regarded as a big deal, entering a cycle where a visit to a longer term 8595 becomes possible.

 

If things plan going terribly wrong, below 8226 now risks promoting reversal to an initial 8119 with our secondary, if broken at7950

LSE:BA. & LSE:JD. currently 1298p & 140p. #Gold #WallSt   In an almost funny phase of self flagellation, Tuesday evening was spent deciding whether to lead with BAE or JD Sports, both companies suddenly showing some interesting potentials. But the really difficult bit was attempting to figure out how to blend a close encounter with a new snowy owl into our efforts. Over the years, a massive snowy owl has been a regular visitor, reliably coming when I give a whistle. Tonight, the Golden Retrievers brain was exploding as she barked at “something” she had trapped in an ash tree. The dog regards a bird perched on the branches watching her as a win and this time, she was obviously at the top of the class.

Suddenly, something jumped out of the tree, dropping around 1 metre before opening its wings and taking flight. It was a small snowy owl, obviously trying hard not to damage its feathers in the close confines of the forest, making me suspect it was on a brand new flying licence. Perhaps it’s the case the monster owl has now become a parent and it was showing the young bird where the favourite places to annoy dogs were. But I’ve certainly never seen a bird jump out from a tree.

 

To start with JD Sports, their share price has followed the lesson from our little owl, throwing itself off a Blue downtrend which commenced back in 2021 is quite fascinating.  The extract on the chart below is of interest, the share price exuberantly exceeding the trend on 17th September, only to be smacked back into place the following day as if the market already knew it had a cunning plan for the days ahead.

The situation now suggests ongoing weakness below 138p risks promoting reversals down to an initial 118p with our secondary, if broken, an eventual bottom of 103p and hopefully a rebound.

If things intend turn positive, the share price now needs above 158p to hint at a trigger movement toward an initial 169p with our secondary, if beaten, at 174p and a need for us to revisit our calculations. Alas, for now we suspect it intends to drop, hopefully with a bottom at 103p as the market certainly appears to be enacting a secret scenario.

 

In a world without any shortage of regional conflicts, perhaps it’s the time to take a hard look at BAE Systems again. After all, should the USA go a little crazy following their Guy Fawkes Election on 5th November and not know who they are supposed to be selling weaponry to, surely any pause in US arms supply could be filled from the UK as our country hosts one of the largest weapon suppliers in the world. The only problem is the UK’s lack of available skilled workers for the defence industry, not really a surprise as they made many of them redundant while attempting to defend executive pay levels…

However, BAE is suddenly looking pretty interesting. Movement above just 1308 should now trigger price recovery to an initial 1330p with our longer term secondary, if beaten, at a future 1457p.

If trouble is planned, below 1221p risks triggering reversals to an initial 1166p with our secondary, if broken, at a potential bottom of 1070p.

For now, we think BAE Systems share price intends some gains.

#Brent #Gold We’d a bit of a giggle earlier this year, a niece invited to an event in Monaco and in a complete panic about her wardrobe. She decided to design and make her own frock as such a task dovetailed neatly into her business. But she’d a major problem with the handbag, obviously a major choice when eating pizza in Monte Carlo. She begged my wife to lend her a white Mulberry bag, something allegedly valued around a silly £1,500. When my wife bought it from the window of a charity shop for £12, she simply thought it was a nice bag to have, just in case we ever attended something important. But our nieces were visiting last Xmas  and inspecting my wifes shoe and handbag collection, this white bag attracted immediate attention from one of the girls. Basically, she was about ready to place the bag on a pedestal and worship it, quite literally annoyed it was spending its time in a wardrobe.

Apparently there are things about a genuine Mulberry bag which are never replicated by the knock off market.

She didn’t want to borrow the bag to impress anyone, instead was experiencing a flurry of nerves she’d be socialising with folk who she felt would spot anything fake. Amusingly, reality proved quite different with her even admitting the provenance of the bag. And her frock design, based on a Roman Toga, became something of a joke due to her effectively torpedoing anyone else trying to show up in a similar dress with a theoretical cost of thousands. She was to spend the next week, getting very drunk with a bunch of new friends in some quite exotic locations, thankfully realising  people are interested in interesting people. But it can also be a bit freaky, when one of her “chums” arranges a private jet to a lunch at wherever. And on the bright side, her Disney Princess children’s party business now has a bunch of fangirls in exotic locations, all of whom really want access to her costume party wardrobe. Her company make their own dresses to match cartoon productions, ensuring each one of her staff is fitted with something which can be comfortable for 4 hours and beyond.

What’s especially funny about this brand name nonsense, my mother wouldn’t have dreamed of using any “wood” covers for her golf clubs which were not Mulberry. It’s doubtful any of her golfing pals were aware and when she expired, the golf clubs probably went to a charity shop somewhere in Inverness. Unfortunately, her collection included my own #1 Driver and a putter I’d spent a fortune on. Of course, when a close family member checks out, the imperative is to move on but I still miss that putter. I could drive to a green in a single shot, but was a terrible putter. My mum would get the a green in three shots, then take one or two putts. So of course, she “borrowed” my driver and putter with the intention of humiliating anyone sufficiently gullible to play against her. (She had an intimidating number of trophies) When she approached 90 years old, still playing 9 holes a day and usually on her own as folk learned not to challenge her. She left behind a collection of children, grand-children, and great-grandchildren, none of whom will willingly play golf. A personal memory is of her picking me up from school in November when the clocks had changed, so “we” could enjoy a game of golf at her snobby course before it got dark.

 

Anyway, with Mike Ashley being knocked back by Mulberry Plc for his attempt to make a cash offer for the group, we’ve had a few emails asking our opinion about the share price’ future prospects.

 

Currently, above 130 should trigger share price recovery to an initial 147 with our secondary, if beaten, calculating at a longer term 164p. Visually, such an ambition is quite a big deal, launching the share price into a zone where a longer term 349 is allegedly possible. We’re not inclined to hold our breath of such an ambition as the share just escaped from a zone with a bottom at -18p!

#Gold #Germany  The unexpected can come from any direction. That’s why it’s unexpected! As per a domestic bad habit, we’d narrowed the choice of films to watch on Sunday evening to 2 titles, each of us selecting something we thought the other would watch. It’s that sort of marriage with a degree of comic hilarity, if manners call for one us to move aside for the other. Cutting a long story short, my wife chose “Deadpool and Wolverine” as the evening movie, I chose the relatively unknown “Mrs Harris Goes To Paris”. Our usual coin toss decider meant “Mrs Harris …” was selected to watch. After all, who wouldn’t want to watch a movie about a widowed cleaning lady going to Paris to buy a frock from Dior in the 1950’s?

The film was excellent and the animals, clearly recognising the mood in the room, kept quiet with no demands to go out to the garden.

Apparently, some of the film was based on an exaggerated true story, an incident which changed forever the way Christian Dior retailed their products. And with the witchcraft of movie production, an entertaining story followed and a film worth watching out for. Personally, as a Deadpool fanboy, usually I’d be a bit irritated but on this instance, there was surprising proof the UK can still make movies.

 

Unfortunately, Fevertree Drinks need the unexpected quite urgently. Perhaps their little glass bottles will step forward.  Thankfully bereft of the stupid EU rule demanding tags on plastic soft drink bottle caps (but oddly, not on milk containers), it certainly seems Fevertree need a change of fortunes, due to their sales proving flat during the first half of 2024. Invariably, the company blame the appalling weather we’ve been gifted this year for their rotten sales but as we’re now looking the party festive season in the eye, perhaps a change in fortunes may be possible.

Unfortunately, according to historical share price movements, we’re not enthusiastically looking for surprise recovery.

The current situation hints of movement below 770p triggering reversal to 727p and perhaps a bounce. The danger comes, if 727 breaks, calculates at 579p, again with a chance of a bounce but should 579 break, bottom almost must work out before an eventual 410p.

Should the share price ever decide to have fun, it needs close a session above just 854p to trigger recovery to an initial 908p with our secondary, if beaten, a visually sane 1072p.

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

#Brent #SP500 We’ve mentioned our chum before, someone who works at a pretty senior level for one of the UK’s main retailers. Her particular “bag” is being where the buck stops eventually, when a customer complaint cannot be dealt with by AI, their call centres in India, or finally, their folk in the UK who handle the difficult stuff, along with any well written email problems. Her visit this weekend gave us a funny story, the sort of thing “Readers Digest” used to have a page for and ensured she gets to skip a turn, when buying our Saturday Chinese takeaways here in Argyll.

The email in question was pretty straightforward, a customer writing in to complain about a company employee punching her car hard and forcing her to stop. She freely admitted she’d been reversing over a clearly marked pedestrian crossing and couldn’t see clearly, because of her pile of shopping obscuring her view of people on the crossing. But this didn’t justify the employee thumping her car to avoid being run over. She then complained to the store manager who advised she email the company, an act of utter genius in ducking a problem. The eventual email bounced around the company before finally being dumped at “Executive Level”, obviously due to no-one have the guts to be blunt!

Our chum decided to exaggerate the incident slightly, crafting an email which implied the staff member hadn’t taken legal action due to the lack of video evidence. But as the customers email admitted what had really happened, this recourse was now open. But as a gesture of goodwill, the customer could now regard themselves as banned from that particular store.

 

We’re a little worried at the possibility we may be behaving like the “reversing moron” referred to above as there’s a chance we may be ignoring something fairly obvious against Natwest, a share notorious for failing to grab opportunity when it comes along. What caught our attention was a series of share price movements at the end of July (shown on insert), when for 4 sessions it began to appear possible the share price was reacting to an absurd trend line which dates back to 2007. If this is indeed the case, there’s a pretty strong argument suggesting we pay close attention to any break of this trend, due to the unthinkable chance this retail bank may actually start to do something useful. Then again, to judge by political gossip, there seems an imminent chance of yet another political upheaval in the UK as the current administration are accused of looking at the days of Boris or Truss then saying “hold my beer”… According to rumour, it’s difficult to walk Downing St without tripping over a legal Super Injunction and NDA’s.

Currently, for Natwest, above 355p should break trend, potentially triggering a lift to an initial 376p with our secondary, if exceeded, calculating at 452p or perhaps even 475p, thanks to the effect of quite a few price manipulation gaps at the open of trade this year. To trash the opportunity, the share need only slither below 324p (if the movement triggers), leading to a favourable stop loss level.

Below 324p risks being slightly dangerous, working out with an initial drop target of 292p with our secondary, if broken, at 235p and hopefully yet another bounce as the share once again attempts to storm the future!

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.
