Mcbride Plc (LSE:MCB) & a Phoenix Group update.

#FTSE #Nasdaq When we wrote “first world problem” the other day, it was a suitably disparaging statement to describe the utter suffering experienced, when your Espresso machine has a heated top area, capable of ensuring your stomper has coffee adhering strongly and the two brushes for cleaning things get ruined. But, to be completely honest, there was another quite different need to create an air gap above the top of the coffee machine.

Before skipping ahead and thinking; “this nonsense will never happen to me!”, it will. You reach an age when it feels you may be single handedly keeping the pharmaceutical industry afloat, finding yourself in a zone of hell, pills to take in the morning and pills to take at night. It wasn’t difficult to designate the coffee machine as the pill tray holder, simply turning the tray around when the designated doze of pills were popped. “Night-time Monday pills, rotate it so Day-time Tuesday is next”. No-one wants to habitually take pills but placement of the sodding things makes for an easy reminder, given the importance of starting the day with a coffee.

This is where the issue arose, due to the harsh reality of Cod Liver Oil capsules. These things reside quite happily in a pill tray but dislike heat, especially from an Espresso machine. This runs the risk of accidentally forgetting to turn off the gizmo, finding the capsules melted and merged chemotherapy, blood pressure, diabetes, and even gout prevention pills into a gooey mess.  And thus, it was either the case of abandoning my coffee machine, abandoning my pill intake, or figuring out how to do things better. Which brought me, once again, to the 3d Printer from hell which as I write this, apparently is printing the components for a new shelf capable of holding the coffee stomper, two brushes, and a tray of 7 Day and Night drugs. The job will take around 4 hours…

Phoenix Group share price has enacted something quite interesting. We shall be revisit the share during December but the market indeed opted to gap the price back up above Red on the chart.

McBride Plc This is quite an impressive company, supplying the stock market equivalent for famous “covers” groups such as Led Zeppelin. Everyone uses their products but, due to rebranding for whatever company label is being stuck on the product, remain anonymous. It was surprising to note their cleaning products are supplied through 49 out of 50 of Europe’s top grocery retailers.

Their share price has enjoyed a pretty dire journey since 2017 but recently has started to exhibit some signs of it coming alive again.

During October, the share price was gapped up above an arguable downtrend, the movement suggesting growth exceeding 64p should make an attempt at an initial 80p with secondary, if bettered, at a longer term 108p, perhaps even 150p thanks to the massive gap down in 2019 utterly skewing the numbers. We’re fairly happy about the prospects of a future 80p but suspect we shall need revisit the numbers once such a level is attained.

The share price needs below 38p to utterly foul up our numeric predictions.

Legal and General Group (LSE:LGEN) and a change of trend!

#Gold #SP500 We reviewed Legal and General back in July, confidently predicting the potential of reversal to 193p and below. An email politely enquired, if we’d like to change our stance on the share, given it “only” fell to 203p and appears to be bouncing? This thankfully gives us an excuse to present recent movements as a ‘learning opportunity’, rather than admit we got it wrong!

The ‘Learning Opportunity’ comes from what occurred, once the share price bounced as two separate and hopefully significant things took place.

Firstly, the price of LGEN closed above the level of the trend break, on November 13th ending the day at 225p. This ticks a pretty important box as generally we take this as a signal everything has changed.

Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, the share price has chosen to regain the prior Red uptrend, quite literally manipulated (gapped) above the trend on November 15th and this provides what is usually a strong indication the market has had a change of heart for the future. Despite the share price squirming around like a Conservative politician, when asked about Covid-19 events, our inclination is to take hope for the immediate future.

Currently, above 232p should prove capable of triggering a nod in the direction of 240p with our longer term secondary, if bettered, at a future 270p. This secondary is doubtless going to prove important, if achieved, as it has the capability of declaring a new high for the share price in 2023, especially as it dumps the price into a zone where a distant cycle to 308p can be expected.

As usual, we can provide a slightly vague converse scenario as perhaps the market shall indulge its sense of humour, one which suggests weakness next below 224p risks promoting the idea of reversal down to 205p. If broken, our secondary calculates at 191p and hopefully a bounce.

Natwest Group (LSE:NWG) to defy gravity?

#Brent #Stoxx The bloke who invented Gravity,. Isaac Newton, once said “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants” and this has never been more true in our Internet age. The problem with the internet is folk don’t need to learn the basics. Instead, some plonker has uploaded a YouTube video telling them how to do something and, viola, it’s easy. My favoured specialist subject is music and I’m probably a better guitarist than a 5 year old. But the internet is awash with, invariably pretty girls, playing some quite complex tunes. Most of them carefully enact an endearing smile to their podcast camera, roughly every 20 seconds, then turning to the left to watch themselves on a monitor.

These “musicians” have not stood on the shoulders of giants. They’ve not done the work, actually learning how to play their instruments, and as a result are incapable of ‘improving’ the music they are parroting by adding personal touches or flourishes.

Don’t get me wrong, over the weekend I became an expert at repairing a 3d printer, all thanks to Youtube. It transpires tripping over a stupidly routed cable easily caused the thing to shoot off the table, landing quite solidly on the floor. At first glance, nothing appeared damaged but an attempt at printing the ‘cat’ test pattern below produced an impressive cloud of white spaghetti, demanding further investigation. The impact with the carpet had jolted a drive gear free, one which hadn’t been given a fixing screw. This discovery led to further checks and the discovery of every single internal screw and nut needing tightened. Oddly, I should have expected this sort of thing, if only due to the “kettle lead” power cable shipper with the machine being faulty and nope, it wasn’t the fuse. The device, sourced from Temu, clearly had skipped Quality Control at the printer factory and I suspect most sane people would have boxed it up for return. The reason this escaped such a fate was the (perceived) quality of the hardware and the hope everything I learned from Youtube videos shall allow the next phase, designing a decent mounting for the cleaning tools for my espresso machine, a true first world problem!

Alas, it’s unlikely I shall be able to produce something which can boost Natwest share price into orbit.

Natwest Group Plc  When we previously reviewed Natwest three weeks ago, there were a few howls of anguish at our proposed potential of reversal down to 111p. Has the last three weeks produced anything to mitigate such a scenario?

The immediate answer is no. But the share price really doesn’t need try too hard to remove itself from the danger zone in which it finds itself. If we adhere closely to our rules, the share price needs currently better Blue on the chart, currently around 227p, as this should indicate an attempt to escape its fate .Early warning for such a scenario should come, if the price were simply to better 212p fairly soon as this should trigger recovery to an initial 243p and visually, some almost certain hesitation given prior behaviour this year. Our secondary, if 243p is exceeded, works out at a longer term 295p and a zone where Santa Claus is doubtless frolicking with elves and reindeer, along with all manner of true characters.

Okay, perhaps we’re being a little cynical here as the share price achieved higher earlier this year, so perhaps our calculated target of 295p could even prove viable. If only the share price were not languishing on the naughty step. Maybe the UK Chancellor will produce an Autumn Statement soon, something better than the usual “I’m a Little Teapot” nonsense which quite literally is designed to hide the truth in the small print which is released, following his spin in front of cameras.

 

Our converse scenario currently allows below 195p to potentially trigger reversals to an initial 181p with secondary, if broken, at 167p and perhaps a bounce. But if “they” are serious about immolating investors, below 167p now calculates with an ultimate bottom of 122p. Which is nice.

Our renowned FTSE for FRIDAY (FTSE:UKX)

#FreeFutures #FTSE Most folk get to a point in their lives, when it becomes almost impossible to buy them a present. From a personal perspective, it appears this mile stone has now been achieved, thanks to my wife choosing to celebrate a particular date by presenting me with a 3d printer she’s sourced from the discount Chinese website, Temu.

She claims to have read many online reviews about the product and, from an engineering perspective, it certainly feels well made. Unfortunately, as sometimes happens with products sourced overseas, the instruction booklet, while being in English, left something to be desired. The first thing needed with this 3d printer was “assembly”, a task which commenced around 11am and still was incomplete by 5pm, making me long for the simplicity of an Ikea instruction sheet on how to build a house. The first major hurdle was the surprise discovery a 3d printer print head really doesn’t move in any direction other than vertical. The penny eventually dropped, it being the printer base which moved in North South East West fashion, and abruptly the assembly manual started to make some sense. With surprising rapidity, things started to come together and even the tiny little electrical connectors all seemed to match up perfectly.

It didn’t work, nothing turned on.

Returning to the instruction manual which, by the way, was written in what must be a new definition of small print and suggested paper must be in short supply in China, a magnifying glass helped some blurred red ink become slightly legible, a warning to ensure all electrical connections where firmly attached. It made sense to dismantle everything, assemble it again, and one again give the power switch a chance to prove itself.

It still didn’t work, nothing turned on.

There was another blur in the text which said “Please format the SD card and try again, if not working“. I hadn’t noticed a memory card among the components but on investigation, discovered one was emplaced in a slot beside the machines screen. It ejected easily and when checking the contents before formatting, the shock discovery of an “Easy Assembly Video”, along with a PDF manual in English made me appreciate I’d just wasted 6 hours. Why, oh why, didn’t the manufacturer make any reference to this 10 minute video and completely legible instruction manual. My wife spent Thursday evening, maliciously breaking into giggles at my belated discovery of the real instructions.

The machine is now sitting on the printer table, awaiting this weekend when I shall take another look at it, potentially attempting to print my first thing. As my chess-set has been missing the black king for a while, it’s entirely possible a Lego figure of Batman is going to discover what the inside of a bin looks like!

 

This tantrum about a 3d printer is to conceal a similar level of frustration inflicted by the FTSE. Thursday had certainly appeared to have the potential for a day of reversals and as always, when market direction is downward, the FTSE successfully overachieved, finishing the day -1.01% down while the US and Europe was pretty flat. From a UK perspective, it proved a horrible day, one which left the FTSE poised to deliver further falls in the day ahead.

Currently, below 7409 points looks set to deliver reversals down to 7389 points. Our secondary target calculates down at 7357 points. If triggered, the tightest stop loss level looks quite civilised at 7434 points. As always, beware any spike downward at the market open, especially one which attains one of our target levels, as the market is liable to toddle off in an entirely different direction.

Our converse scenario demands the market exceed 7456 points to enjoy the potential of a lift to 7496 points. If exceeded, our longer term secondary works out at 7516 points.

 

Have a good weekend and hopefully the Grand Prix from Las Vegas proves easier to stomach than the overpriced food.

Gold vs US Dollar (PM:XAUUSD) proving fairly clueless!

#BrentFuture #WallSt Sometimes it’s worth just zooming out on a chart and giving yourself some time to think about what you are seeing. The price of Gold is currently providing a masterclass in price behaviour and giving plenty of reason to pause for thought, wondering just what the heck is going on.

Every year since 2020, the price of the metal has managed a surge just above 2050 dollars, invariably falling back sharply in horror at the enormity of its task. Curiously, the fall back experienced following this years attempt hasn’t (yet) mirrored the drops of previous years. Traditionally, this should indicate any future lunge upward which betters the previous highs will provide considerable entertainment and in the case of Gold, there’s an implicit suggestion a future $2357 should exert a long term attraction as a future ambition.

Unfortunately, there’s a couple of things worthy of consideration. When we take movements in 2023 into consideration, apparently above $1975 should promote gains to the 2000 dollar level again with our longer term secondary, if bettered, at $2054 eventually. This secondary target is a nuisance, visually matching the three previous highs, once again threatening sufficient reason for reversals due to a perception Gold has declared an invisible glass ceiling just above the 2050 dollar level. Perhaps it shall be the case our calculation of $2357 shall become gold’s Rwanda, something promised but never actually attained.

 

Near term, we’re a little nervous, especially as far too many Gold price movements from a Big Picture perspective make the metal feel like it’s under a degree of manual control and essentially being manipulated with attempts to stop it heading upward uncontrollably and equally, restrained from dropping too far. The picture of the chart since 2020 tends echo this sentiment as the median value looks like it’s somewhere around 1830 dollars.

Currently, it’s the case below $1932 works out with a reversal ambition to $1873 with our secondary, if broken, calculating down at $1826, almost exactly promising a drop to the median level once again. It’s interesting to note below $1800 theoretically works out as entering a reversal cycle to an eventual $1541. Visually, there’s little about such a target level which would justify such a degree of reversal.

 

In summary, our suspicion is Gold shall probably be worth a short position, if the $2054 level makes an appearance as the market feels determined to keep Gold under control.

GSTechnologies Ltd (LSE:GST) giving reasons to be cheerful?

#FTSE #Nasdaq We’ve had a bunch of emails asking for our take on what’s happening with GSTechnologies share price.  Certainly, the most recent three sessions have proven buoyant with some quite odd share price movements with the share flamboyantly breaking through the downtrend since the start of 2021. We’re always more than a little sceptical about companies in the Fintech field as too often, they’re awash with buzzwords but otherwise lacking in substance.

The appears not to be the case with GST.L, the visuals indicating quite a strong potential for ongoing recovery as despite some sizeable intraday variations in the share price, quite a lot of care has been taken to avoid the price dropping below the level of the trend break. This tends imply the market has “a cunning plan”, thus giving hope for the fairly near term.

As always, we’ve a converse scenario available and with the level of trend break being roughly 1.094p, movement below such a level calculates with the risk of reversal to an initial 1p with secondary, if broken, working out at an eventual “bottom” of 0.66p. This is a price target we cannot calculate below and visually would indicate whatever has driven the price upward has been a complete waste of everyone’s time, returning the share value to the zone where it has inhabited the last 4 months.

 

However, in the case of GST, our inclination is toward optimism as it looks very like anything now capable of achieving above 2.06p should trigger further price recovery to an initial 2.51p with our longer term secondary, if exceeded, calculating at an impressive 2.77p. Visually, the chart suggests we should anticipate some hesitation around the 2.77p level, if achieved.

Hopefully the UK announce some inflation data which justifies party time for the UK markets, similar to occurrences everywhere else on Tuesday with the USA proving quite positive.

Prudential Plc (LSE:PRU) and recovery arguments

#Gold #SP500 Sometimes a share price can perform in surprising ways and over the years, we’ve learned to pay attention to some specific movements. At present, Prudential Plc are exhibiting one of these dance movements which perhaps shall become an early warning signal for some movement of strength.  In this instance, we’ve drawn a circle on the chart where the share price appears to be reacting to the downtrend for 2023 and visually, there seems to be no reason for this.

When this phenomena occurs, it costs nothing to keep an eye on the share price, especially as next time it exceeds the downtrend there’s a heightened chance of an upward spike and usually it’s one which shall stick. In the case of Prudential, exceeding Blue at 925.91 presently, will serve to introduce the potential of gains to an initial 1004p with our longer term secondary, if exceeded, calculating at a future 1189p. Obviously, we are being a touch cautious here as just because the share price is following the downtrend from afar, there’s no certainty it will indeed shoot higher. But then again, this is the stock market, a field where the word “certainty” should be banned, perhaps replaced with “balance of probabilities!”

Overall, should Prudential share price successfully manage to close a session above Blue, we can calculate a long term attraction as coming from 1499p.

 

Our alternate scenario for Prudential questions the drop potentials, if the share price were to discover an excuse to break below Red on the chart. Currently this level is around 817p and movement below such a point risks triggering reversals to an initial 697p with our secondary, if such a level breaks, working out at a silly looking future 465p.

Our inclination, for now, is to lean on the side of optimism.

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.
