#Gold #Nasdaq  Aside from an email asking us to review this, the company name alone made it an interesting proposition. Once upon a time, the choice of a Xmas present was a jade pendant, a pretty looking slender donut of the gem with the centre holding a gold pictogram which obviously meant something romantic. To be honest, neither of us were curious but one evening, the mystery was solved by a waitress at a Chinese restaurant. She admired the pendant and asked, did you buy it in Kowloon? The lettering said “Kowloon”, my other half now knowing she’d been wearing the equivalent of a baseball cap with a Trump logo on it.

The pendant was discretely retired to her jewellery drawer, never to be seen again!

 

Unless Jadestone have a side hustle flogging junk to unsuspecting tourists, the Asia focussed oil and gas company appear to have a share price which is poised to make some positive movement, a pleasant change for a member of the AIM market in London. The visit to 21p back in September has possibly defined a “bottom” for the share and now, it ideally needs start going up to make life interesting.

Now above just 39p is liable to prove significant, calculating with the potentials of a lift up to an initial 49p. Closure above such a level should prove important in the grand scheme of things, working out with a future ambition coming from 71p and the chance of a challenge against the immediate Blue downtrend. Recovery such as this will also give the share price an opportunity to exceed the level at which the Red uptrend was breached and this, traditionally, is something we regard as a good sign, one often capable of provoking Big Picture movement for the longer term.

Jadestone are on the edge of moving and we suspect they shall prove worth watching in the month ahead. And finally, if things intend go wrong, now below 21p would be a problem as it risks triggering a visit to our ultimate bottom of just 8p.

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

#Brent #DAX  The question must be asked, do the weather forecasting folk get paid according to how many clicks they generate? Most folk have probably become immune to the standard media tactic of generating a headline which is completely contrary to the actual story but, with weather, we’d hope the Met Office would try and adopt a tactic of being accurate.  After all, in an age when a mobile phone appears capable of telling what time the rain will stop, why are the Met Office issuing “Yellow Alerts” for snow across wide areas? It’s gotten to the stage where we choose to ignore these Met Office panics as they’re capable of real life consequences.

One such happened recently, opting to cancel a hospital appointment on the mainland as there was apparently a certainty the ferries would be cancelled. The 60mph winds decided not to turn up, the ferry timetable was not affected, and the hospital used a courier to send out an urgent supply of chemo pills. With another hospital visit scheduled for today, there was a feeling of déjà vu with the latest “Yellow Alert” and this time, it’s getting ignored. But the whole contrived  drama of clickbait headlines constantly bothers us and perhaps exerts a subconscious influence, lest we fall into the trap of promising the heavens.

 

Lloyds is currently a great case in point.

Based on share price movements on Thursday and Friday, we can cheerfully announce “Lloyds Heading to 120p!”

The thing is, something possibly important actually did occur with Lloyds, the market deciding to pour some pixie dust over the share and allowing it to nudge above the Blue 2023 downtrend. On the chart inset, we’ve circled a bunch of recent nudges upward at the market open on three occasions during November, giving a broad hint “they” were up to something. The immediate situation suggests above 44.5p should make an attempt at 46p next with our secondary, if beaten, calculating at 48.2p. Obviously, neither ambition is anywhere close to 120p but the fact the market has started nudging Lloyds upward is surely meaningful.

In this instance, we can provide a third target level, if 48.2p is bettered, as a future 53.7 works out as possible. The visuals indicate some hesitation can be anticipated, if such a target makes itself known. To cancel this truly festive outpouring of optimism, the share price needs wither below 43p.

Oh, and should Lloyds ever discover a reason to close a session above 53.7p, it actually will find itself residing in a Big Picture zone, one where we shall argue in favour of a long term attraction coming from 120p!

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

#FTSE #Brent  This is a little difficult to admit but we’ve absolutely no idea what direction the UK market intends go on Friday, 1st December. As a last ditch attempt, we opted to spend a couple of hours watching how Japan was behaving and unfortunately, it would be easier predicting what a cat will do next. And this, obviously, gives the opportunity to continue discussing our new 3d printer.

To celebrate playing her new game, something called City Skylines2, my wife felt the need to purchase an expensive AMD video card. It’s one of these things which is more powerful than most PC’s, has more memory than most PC’s and generates more heat than a small nuclear power station. Within the first day, the problem of heat dissipation became an emergency when the sensors inside the computer decided life was too hot and closed the system down. Her cat, rather adorably, had developed the habit of sleeping on top of her PC tower and as a result, my wife had fitted a cat basket exactly the right size to keep the smelly animal happy.  When it was pointed out she could either play her game or, create a fire risk by attempting to barbeque the cat, she moved the basket.

“Could you use the 3d printer to make something like a table and legs to fit under the basket, so there’s an air gap between it and the computer?” It was a reasonable question, one which I ended up ignoring as sending concise printing instructions to the new printer is a skill I currently lack. My immediate success has been printing a straight line, the systems equivalent of “Hello World” so familiar to those learning a new programming language. In a fit of inspiration, I remembered things can still be made the old fashioned way, so with plywood and an electric saw, a stand for the cats bed was available literally within minutes. With everything fitted in place, my wife lifted the noisy cat into its new throne above her PC tower. It jumped out, refusing to use the bed, and opted to spend the evening staring at a blank wall. The cat and I do not get along and I think this was spite, because something wasn’t made out of plastic.

 

As for Japan, the index was opened down a hundred points from its previous close of 33,576 points. In the last couple of hours, another few hundred points have been lost and this hints any spike down at the open on the UK market is unlikely to exhibit an immediate recovery by 9.30am. Maybe! But it is the first of the final month of the year, so perhaps some optimism shall enter the day with traders always chasing an illusory “Santa rally”.

Allegedly, near term movement exceeding 7477 points should make an uphill attempt at an initial tame 7506 points. Should such a level be exceeded, our secondary calculates at 7536 points, a value which should certainly indicate happier times ahead for the FTSE in the near term.

 

However, if the other side of the coin opts to follow the example currently being set from Japan, below 7442 points risks promoting reversal down to 7408 points. Should such a level break, our secondary works out at 7374 points, plunging the FTSE into the realms of a truly grotty start to December. Which is frustrating as, should we go by chart behaviour along with the FTSE’s dance steps in relation to the Red line uptrend from 2020, we should be reporting some optimism with a suspicion the index intends an eventual 7613 points. Unfortunately, when something “should be going up but isn’t”, invariably the converse argument proves to be the correct one.

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

#Brent #Dax  As we all pour ourselves downward into the annual celebration of the invention of booze, also known as Christmas, we’re a little worried our review of Diageo a year ago proved quite as prescient. However, it’s unlikely our attempts at making “the perfect cider” are in any way to blame for the companies share price decline. Amusingly, it has transpired the secret to a perfect cider didn’t include drops of magical flavourings, once the fermentation process was complete.

Instead, a nice mug of strong and warm tea is added to the liquid, at the very start of fermentation along with some brown sugar produced something with a similar bite to a dry white wine and, to our palates, not entirely nice. We mucked around with various flavourings, strawberry was fairly good, blueberry was better, but the best flavouring was a real surprise. A litre of cheap, supermarket bought, pure apple juice added to four litres of fermented cider suddenly produced the most authentic and refreshing drink. With hindsight, the concept of adding fresh apple juice to enhance the flavour of home made cider should have been obvious but among the experts in internet forums, some seriously complex methods were discussed to improve the product. Now, with a few shelves of the stuff produced, you certainly know if you’ve drunk a pint of the product and we’ve got to this stage without experimenting with cinnamon flavouring, oak barrels, adding raisins, or refrigerating the product for a few weeks.

As for the alcohol content, our inclination is to suggest ‘enough’ as we’ve never bothered buying the correct time of hydrometer. After erroneously buying one designed for wine, it gives results of between 7% and 19% proof as this seems to vary enormously with the type of yeast and quantity of sugar. It’s funny how a single taste of “tropical cider” during summer sparked this hobby, one which has probably run its course as we’ve now figured out how to easily make a cider for our own palate. This ridiculous drive toward self sufficiency is driven by living here in Argyll, where getting  “stuff” is a nuisance. Bread is made once a week, then frozen. Logs are chopped at weekends and now, it looks like cider shall be produced once or twice a year. If only there wasn’t a requirement for spirits production licences needing an annual output of above 45,000 litres!

 

Despite it being the festive season, Diageo Plc continues to drip downhill and now, share price movement below 2719p looks capable of a visit to an initial 2572p with secondary, if broken, at 2507p. The proximity of these targets tends suggest the share price is heading toward a level from which a rebound can be hoped, essentially anytime soon. The implication of movement below 2507 is pretty dire, dumping the share price into a zone where a potential ultimate bottom at a future 1501p becomes possible. Visually there’s nothing to back up such a dodgy calculation but 2255p (the half way mark in a reversal cycle) certainly looks like it has to the potential to apply the breathalyser to any downward rush.

If Diageo into supply any festive cheers, it’s possible for above 2833 to promote share price recovery to an initial 2911p with our secondary, if exceeded, calculating at a longer term 3094p, perhaps even challenging the downtrend since April and giving the first solid clue the share price may be attempting to escape the current drop cycle. We’re not hopeful and suspect a visit to the £25 quid level is on the cards.

#FTSE #SP500  We always thought it a little odd one of only two publicly listed shipbrokers on the LSE chose to name themselves after a pretty bleak location in Scotland, one placed just about as far from the sea as possible to get in the country. Braemar itself, located in the visually boring, windswept, east side of the country, has only one real attraction, the nearby ski area of Glenshee. Once, shortly after returning from Colorado, the decision was made to head to Glenshee for a day skiing and we were lucky. It was stunning day, plenty of snow, and memorable sunshine, the sort of thing which only happens once every 100 years or so. Chatting to one of the ski lift operators and mentioning we’d just returned from Colorado, it transpired he was American and agreed Glenshee equalled anything available in the US. But unfortunately, only once a century or so!

Another time, we visited, having made the stupid mistake of volunteering to escort a bunch of children from a local church youth club. Between checking the weather and leaving, the weather had changed and we arrived in a blizzard. Someone had the bright idea of heading to nearby Braemar as there would surely be cafes etc to keep the kids entertained, while we hoped the snow storm would move on. Thankfully, there were lots of places, all closed, as back then, Braemar appeared to shut up shop once summer was over. To make matters worse, the snow gates all closed, forcing us to return south by heading to Aberdeen first, then take the coastal route back to Glasgow. And so, few fond memories remain of Braemar but we did prime the kids with some tough questions to ask about god!

The following weekend, we took the children to Glencoe, enjoying one of the few days when we all got to ski back to the car park. This is rarely possible and a real pleasure, skipping the queue for the cranky chairlift down the mountain.

 

Braemar Plc experienced a few months of share suspension, due to a historical accounting anomaly which was felt would affect their published accounts. Matters have been apparently resolved and the shares started trading again a few days ago. They are due to release some financial results today, 29th November,. and their share price certainly looks poised for some action.

At time of writing, the share is trading at 290p, needing above 292p to hopefully prompt recovery to an initial 310p and a challenge against the downtrend since 2014. To be honest, this is one of these occasions where we’d be delighted to witness the share price gapped upward at the open of trade, creating a rather perfect “Gap Down / Gap Up” situation, one which should prove capable of provoking future movements to 342p with our longer term influence seen as coming from a future 388p and some probable hesitation.

Similar to the weather in Braemar, this is one of these occasions where anything could happen in the next few hours! The price would need wander below 230p (Red) to justify anxiety.

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

#Gold #Dax  The ballad of our 3d printer continues, the device successfully replacing BBC Radio2 in the office. Almost silent in operation, it’s become a source of fascination while it tackles whatever project has been deemed important. Today, we obviously felt the need to print a model elephant, a job which took just over 6 hours and proved more interesting than watching someone digging a hole! It appears, just when society has started to tackle the war on plastic, we’ve also developed a new way to feed recycle bins…

As for, DP Poland Plc, it’s curious how bias can develop as personally, I’ve never met a Polish person I didn’t like. Similarly, grand-daughters formed a friendship with a couple of similar age Polish girls at school, creating a ridiculous situation where all 4 girls chatter away, each blithely switching between Polish and English in a skill developed during their primary school years. But discovering the most popular takeaway in Poland is pizza truly gave pause for thought, the nation slipping down a few notches in my estimation.

Ok, this is being written by someone who’s never eaten a pizza, regardless of whether it was from Domino’s or any of the other suppliers of pimped Italian cheese on toast. In defence, this isn’t a bias with roots in good taste but rather, the end result of a series of allergies. But despite this, I still manage to remain a “wee, fat, Scottish bloke”.

Something is certainly going on with Domino Poland’s share price as movement next above 11p suggests growth to an initial 12p with our secondary, if exceeded, at 15.2p. Visually, this appears to be quite a big deal as the share price has experienced difficulty at the 10p level since 2019 and now, appears to be starting to break free. This being the case, it’s not difficult to envisage a future 24.5p exerting a long term attraction.

If things intend go wrong, the price needs close a session below 6p to justify panic. This one is certainly a bit of an oddball, a Polish company, listed on the LSE, along with a website which doesn’t make any claims about blockchain, crypto, or even the price of gold. They do pizza and appear to be experiencing some success.

#Brent #SP500 Barclays is proving a bit greedy, even by banking standards! For the last few years, the share price has developed a; “Why bother with one uptrend, when you can have two?” It’s almost like a deliberate attempt is taking place to confuse the markets, especially as both trend lines may be thought of as equally valid. Of course, the perennial question must be, which one is the most valid?

The answer, obviously, is a little bit impossible to say as despite the price breaking trend, it has yet to achieve any really convincing targets but despite this, the share price needs to close a session above just 144.6 to suggest all this trend break stuff is nonsense. The reason there are two trends which bother us is shown below.

The upper chart, the lower Red trend line represents the Low of the Day and dates back to 2020. Circled, on October 24th, in a completely random act, the market chose to manipulate the share price at the open of trade, gapping it solidly below the conventional Red uptrend. What was especially curious about this completely random act was the price also was opened below the Green Closing Price trend which also dated back to 2020. Our inclination is to embrace a suspicion the market “really” wants Barclays share price to reverse as by any standards, the manipulation at the market open on October 24th was quite emphatic. We use the term ‘manipulation’ quite unapologetically, the price movement being decided prior to any actual trades taking place. Anyone with access to market charts can easily recreate this and wonder just what the market is playing at. Our perspective is to pay more attention to the Green Closing Price uptrend as it starts to appear that’s the one the market is actually playing with.

From an immediate perspective, we are fairly cynical on what’s coming next. Below just 138p calculates with the potential of reversal to an initial 130p with our longer term secondary, if broken, working out at a future 120p, along with a vague potential for a bounce. In the event the 120p level breaks, about the best we dare hope for is a rebound before the 100p level. It is certainly quite odd, how the UK feels like it’s prepping each of the Big Three banks for some savage reversals.

However, Barclays need only close a session above 144.6p to turn our predictions into my boiled rice, or as we call it at home, mush!

Above 144.6p looks capable of triggering surprise recovery to an initial 152p with secondary, if exceeded, an eventual 160p and some potential hesitation, given share price behaviour at this level during this year.

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.
