Trinity Exploration & Production Plc (LSE:TRIN) and nuclear submarines…

#Gold #Nasdaq  Every now and then, there’s a “Wait, What?” moment when reading the blurb about a company. Trinity produced such an event when their website made reference to “West Coast Assets”. Due to a plethora of nuclear submarine ‘secret’ traffic lanes*, along with an area containing a massive amount of dumped munitions, oil production from Scotlands West Coast is mostly from the skin complexion of troubled teenagers!

A few seconds later, the realisation Trinity do their thing on the West and East Coasts of Trinidad made some sense, especially as their website oil production platform photographs lacked any semblance of foul weather, quite the contrary. The islands position at the end of a chain of enviable destinations starting with The Bahamas is enviable, probably not the worst place in the world to be discovering and extracting oil. That honour doubtless goes to Scotland, the country where the rain goes to fall down…

 

Share price movements for Trinity are starting to give considerable hope as there’s a hope movement next above just 93p shall trigger a nod in the direction of 109p next. If bettered, our longer term secondary looks impressive, calculating at 132p and a new ball game for the future.

If things intend go coconut shaped, below 77p would look troublesome, allowing reversal down to an initial 55p with secondary, if broken, at a less likely 20p. But due to movements this year, our inclination is to anticipate some price recovery for Trinity.

*An amusing story about submarine traffic in Scotland recently surfaced in the USA. 48 years ago, an American nuclear submarine was exiting Holy Loch base in Argyll when it bumped into a Russian nuclear submarine which was waiting, intending to follow it out into the Atlantic. Both countries decided to keep the story quiet and it’s questionable whether the UK government was even told about the incident. Everything remained under water, though some paint may have drifted upward. What makes this tale noteworthy is the disclosure from the US military included a photograph of the (now gone) American base, a snapshot  taken on the hill directly behind our house. The collision would have taken place about 2 miles away.

Needless to say, the UK media have failed to cover this story. After all, we’re still knee deep in submarines here in Argyll.

Macfarlane Group Plc (LSE:MACF) and moving stationary…

#FTSE #Stoxx50 It’s funny how it can transpire a company we’ve known for years is actually just a little bit bigger than thought.  The logo of “Clansman”, adorning numerous boxes of stationary back in the day when businesses used paper (they still do!), concealed just how massive local company MacFarlane had become. Thankfully, there’s little sign their share price has been tarnished with the proximity of their Glasgow packaging centre in Uddingstone to a notorious house of Nicola Sturgeon, featured strongly for several days with a police search which rivalled most murder scenes.

In many ways, the disgrace was deserved as the “alphabet women”, the conspirators labelled from Ms A through to Ms H, are unmasked and to no-ones amazement, it transpires they were all members of Nicola Sturgeons inner cabal, with some dodgy financial dealings remaining unanswered. However, it’s still the case none can be named, despite growing calls for legal action for perjury. But to get down to brass tacks, what international company would like to have such a person as a neighbour? While perhaps a small degree of bias may be sneaking through, witness ‘Ms H’ was even warned at Mr Salmonds trial she was skirting on the edge of a legal black hole due to the frequency of her rotating storylines.

 

One thing which is slightly amusing with the Macfarlane Group analysis comes from it being requested, not by a reader in the UK but instead, someone in Spain! It was almost ignored until the realisation dawned we actually know the company, hence our interest.

The share price has been in the doldrums this year but certainly is developing an argument for some price growth. Currently trading around 110p, it need only exceed 115p currently to kick off a cycle to an initial 120p with secondary, if exceeded, at 131p and some probable hesitation. The funny thing, closure above 131p should prove interesting as a future all time high of 152p becomes possible.

Our alternate scenario suggests trouble below 101p as giving an early indication of coming reversal to an initial 92p with our longer term secondary, if broken, calculating down at 73p and hopefully a proper bounce.

Costain Group Plc (LSE:COST) and do bricks bounce?

#Gold #SP500  It was a funny old day. Having discovered a new brand of bird kept trying to drown itself in a local salmon river, the decision was made to carry a proper camera in the hope of getting a snapshot of its antics. No matter what, a mobile phone remains best used for cat videos and selfies! But it seems a modern camera can provoke attention from the wrong places, presumably due to the range of sensors employed.

The suicidal bird, it turned out, was something called a Dipper and unlike proper aquatic birds, it lacks web feet and a big pointed beak. Instead, the thing was masquerading as similar to a Robin in every respect aside from flapping its wings like a lunatic, then vanishing under the surface of the river repeatedly. Sometimes it would fly to shore and perch on a bush, before once again trying to drown itself. Never having seen such behaviour previously, a local bird enthusiast told me what I’d been watching, growing excited as White Throated Dippers are apparently quite rare, due to their perceived deprivations of young salmon making their way downstream to the sea. And as my wife didn’t believe what I’d seen was real, suspecting I’d just seen a bird taking a bath, it was time for a real camera. This was to provoke something of a surprise as, due to the river now being in full flood thanks to rain, no self respecting bird would dare going under water. But, as the dog walk concluded, the noise of a flight of helicopters got my attention and inevitably, it was time for the Nikon camera to do its stuff. Unusually, I’d plenty of time to take a snapshot, so messed around with all the controls to ensure I’d the proper range, light levels, and every other nuisance detail which makes camera’s so sensitive. Judging by the R2D2 character embedded at the front of a modern helicopter, it had also detected my camera electronics as the camera pod appeared to swivel immediate to look straight back! The age of “The Terminator” appears to be upon us but maybe next time, I shall dig out an old Panasonic which lacks modern gadgets.

And as for the Dipper, tomorrow is another day.

For Costain Group, the share price has enjoyed a pretty vile ride since 2018 and it looks about as certain as it can be the price has achieved a “bottom” in the 30’s since 2020. The problem, obviously, has been the share price failure to enjoy any sort of realistic bounce. The situation now demands the share price exceed 68p to provoke some proper recovery, giving the potential of a lift to an initial 87p with secondary, if exceeded, calculating at 107p and some hesitation. It appears closure at or above this level shall prove crucial for the long term as a surge toward 152p becomes very possible.

Hopefully the UK Govt and the BoE ease up on their assault on the building industry with interest rates, allowing for some proper recovery for the sector.

If things intend going wrong, the Big Picture suggests 30p as an absolute bottom but the situation now exists where below 37p risks triggering reversal to 28 with secondary, if broken, at 14p. While these targets are arithmetically possible, recovering from such a level looks extremely difficult.

Natwest Group Plc (LSE:NWG) and Formula 1

#Brent #Dax  With the retail banks, there’s a race to avoid the start! With Grand Prix, there’s a race to the end and in recent years, nothing has come close to the excitement of Singapore at the weekend. With four cars almost nose to tail, the final laps proved amazing, the stress getting to one of the Mercedes drivers who decided to test how effective the front crumple zone of his car was, literally on the final lap.

The poor bloke did a perfect “From Hero to Zero” crash, missing 3rd place in the race and gifting that honour to his team-mate, Louis Hamilton.

 

Similarly, Natwest appears to be shuffling into position where it might actually start to do something useful. Amazingly, this particular scenario dates back to 2007 and the Blue downtrend on the chart.

As shown above, this Blue line, dating back to a time when politicians lost their integrity with the Financial Crash, could easily be thought of as a crayon mark on a chart, were it not for Natwest share price behaviour in the last week. When an extensive effort is made to ensure a share fails to close above a downtrend (circled in Red above), it tends make our attention zoom in, just in case we’re seeing a signal for something important. In this particular instance, we suspect this shall prove to be the case. We’d urge no-one to get too excited as we’re not about to propose anything as interesting as the Singapore GP but it certainly feels like something solid could happen fairly quickly.

Trading around 236p at time of writing, the share price need only exceed 240p to hopefully trigger movement to an initial 249p with our secondary, if bettered, working out at an irritating 258p. Despite a potential 18p rise not deserving sneezed at, visually such an ambition matches the highs from July and a price level where we suspect the share price shall develop a bit of a stutter. Our usual rules demand the share close above these prior highs of 261p before we dare regard Natwest as entering any sort of serious race. Until then, rather aptly, it remains trapped in the retail bank equivalent of a clown car.

Should Natwest indulge in its favoured hobby of throwing custard pies at traders, below 231p becomes problematic, allowing for reversal to 217 with secondary, if broken, calculating down at 204p and hopefully a proper bounce.

FTSE for FRIDAY (FTSE:UKX) and some optimism!

#FTSE #GOLD  Good news appeared to come from everywhere on Thursday. From a personal perspective, an unwelcome diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes early this year has proven difficult to live with, the medication provoking unpleasant side effects. A routine blood test threw up something which demanded further checks, resulting in an absence of diabetes! Which is a good thing, along with a suspicion the real “cure” came from losing some weight.

The FTSE similarly looks poised to deliver some good cheer following a rather spectacular session on Thursday, the best day of the year for the index. The mining sector certainly received a sprinkling of fairy dust with the oilers receiving a smaller boost. The banking sector, unsurprisingly, lagged behind the party, doubtless due to the ECB taking interest rates to all time highs. We note UK chip designer ARM chose to launch their IPO in the USA on the Nasdaq, sending quite nasty signals about their confidence in the UK and the FTSE. Regardless, the FTSE certainly cheered from the sidelines as a day up by just over 2% at one point was a welcome relief.

 

However, there is a chance some unpleasantness awaits for the FTSE, despite the visual impression currently being given. As always, the problem comes from a trend line, the Blue downtrend on the chart for 2023. The FTSE closed Thursday at 7673 points, effectively slightly below the downtrend which is currently sitting at 7682 points. This isn’t an encouraging signal but the FTSE needs below 7606 points to incite any serious concern, risking triggering reversals to an initial 7578 points with secondary, if broken, at 7541 and hopefully a rebound. Should this scenario trigger, the tightest stop loss level looks like 7650 points.

Our alternate, more positive, scenario is fairly palatable. Above 7687 points calculates with the potential of a lift up to an initial impressive 7804 points. Our secondary, should this level be exceeded, works out at 7868 points. Definitely a fingers crossed day appears to be ahead but market futures currently indicate some optimism.

Have a good weekend and enjoy the grand prix.

MPAC Group Plc (LSE:MPAC) , successful rappers…

#Gold #Stoxx50  The packaging industry was an area where some personal experience left a long lasting impression. After making the mistake of inventing something, winning awards, meeting astronauts etc, the next stage came when needing it manufactured, along with a demand for retail packaging and instructions, all of which soured the fun involved in getting a product ready for market.

Everything had happened quickly and the expectation of it taking years to “get to market” rapidly changed when a major retailer wanted the product on the shelves that year.

 

The manufacturing element proved remarkably easy as it was really a case of assembly as the required components could be ordered already pre-cut to size, the electronic elements also supplied ready to be soldered. Packaging however proved to be quite a different set of skills. Thankfully, a friend in the manufacturing industry knew a bit about the issues being faced, strongly suggesting we search for packaging types already available “off-the shelf” rather than attempt to produce a custom packaging solution. This was around the time when folk were joking at the need for a chainsaw to open many types of clear plastic packages, all of which displayed the contents but with packaging capable of deforming a pair of scissors.

Eventually, my little product was ready for market, able to be displayed everywhere mobile phones were sold in the UK. It had been a traumatic few months but now every aspect was covered aside from the niggling detail the packaging cost more than the product it contained. And then one day, the opportunity to change everything arrived with a phone call. One of the major mobile phone manufacturers wanted to take an option on my patent and such was the stature of the company, it would be crazy to dismiss the idea. After calling the retailer expecting to stock the product, they also agreed it would be short sighted to dismiss the offer as it implied the big time. After all the hassle involved in getting to this point, the idea of sitting back and waiting for royalty cheques without ever getting involved in packaging was too appealing, so I found myself waiting until this multi-national was ready to go live.

Unfortunately, a major change of requirements for the mobile phone network through a spanner in the works, needing each and every one of their mobiles redesigned to incorporate the new requirement. Time passed, then a year passed and finally was given the devastating news their product redesigns wasn’t able to accommodate my product. This was the start of a devastating series of events which saw me eventually opt to abandon the patent, rather than cough up just over £49k, a lot of money at that point in time. Thankfully, considerable success writing software for the financial sector ensured a regular income which could be trusted. So this is why Motorola phones never appeared, bundled with what has become known as Bluetooth headsets!

And everything I know about packaging says to avoid it…

 

It’s worth visiting MPAC’s website, just to enjoy the short video of a packaging robot on their homepage. ‘Mesmerising’ barely starts to describe the process, though they’d doubtless avoid giving star billing to a video showing fish being vacuum packed.

The company share price has enjoyed a pretty awful time in the last few years but we’re starting to wonder if they’re poised to experience some recovery. Visually, we’d a major expectation of the share perhaps bottoming just above 179p and the recent dip to 185 was certainly sufficiently close. The situation now exists of below 185 threatening a trip to 179 with secondary, if broken, working out at an eventual poisonous 129p sometime in the future.

However, the share price only needs exceed 218p currently to give the first signal pointing at recovery, ideally triggering movement to an initial 236 with our secondary, if exceeded, at 257p. Should such a cycle commence, we shall not be surprised if the price continues to pedal uphill to an eventual 328p and some almost certain hesitation.

Direct Line Group (LSE:DLG) and the chance of share price increases?

#FTSE #Nasdaq  Our second reader request of the week surprised us. With the incessant range of dire insurance company adverts on television, it’s easy to assume most investors would steer clear of the sector, lest they end up in catchphrase hell. DLG even make this clear on their homepage, describing their various brands as “each having its own clearly defined personality”. Our own assumption would be they’d rate brands by profitability, rather than whether a cartoon character was fooling the gullible.

Ongoing efforts by corporate bodies to present themselves as cuddly, friendly, responsive, often tend utterly fall apart in the face of any difficulty. In our own household, we’ve annual reasons for fury, namely insurance renewals. Quite why an insurance company thinks it’s a good idea to double policy costs defeats us, making us suspect it’s because we’ve failed to burn our house down, crash each car, and claimed on pet insurance. But, here in Argyll, very little ever happens aside from cries of fury, when people open insurance renewal quotes. And then spending time on comparison websites to discover the extent of attempted fraud perpetuated by the insurance industry quickly reminds how crooked the business is, once their cuddly dogs, singing admirals, phones with wheels, are ignored.

Following a particular event with one of the biggies, we’re now careful to visit bank payment mandates to ensure nothing is set to automatically renew. Instead, insurance renewal has become an annual declaration of war against an industry attempting to paint themselves as having ethics. Thankfully, we ensured ALL our domestic policies fall due for renewal every June, making the time of battle a fairly short and sharp period.

 

Despite our rather negative view of the insurance industry, for DLG there appears a good reason to keep an eye on them in the months to come. Currently, above 184p looks capable of triggering share price recovery to 210p with secondary, if bettered, calculating at 240p and essentially undoing all the damage to their share price during 2023. At this level, the visuals imply plenty of reason for some hesitation to occur but crucially, closure above 240 shall be viewed as important, taking the share price into a region where a future 337p can be hoped.

However, things are currently far from “safe” as below 150p risks promoting reversal to a cuddly 108p and an almost certain rebound. Our secondary, should such a level break, calculates down at a less likely 34p.

Overall, we feel the imperative from 108p has already shown some strength in the share price as the recent dips to the 130’s look like the market has deemed the drops as “close enough”. Should this visual impression be correct, this is perhaps worth keeping an eye on.

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.
