Trends And Targets

#Dax #Nasdaq Few things are more annoying than a song stuck in your head. Inevitably, this lot promoted “Sylvia’s Mother” by Dr Hook into the #1 position, making us wonder how long it takes employees of the company to start detesting the tune! In our review of Sylvania back in 2019 (link), we mentioned forces were at work which allowed a lunge in the direction of 61p. This was due to price movements from six years previously.

 

Sylv Price Today

Obviously, with the share now trading around 140p, our goal was achieved. An awkward situation now exists as we’re forced to travel back to 1999. Thankfully an abiding dislike of the singer Prince ensured his dreadful tune with that number in the title didn’t emulate Dr Hook.

By this method, we can try and make sense of where current price movements find their inspiration. Once upon a time, the share was trading above 600p and this appears to provide the arithmetic powering current price strength, a quite extraordinary situation from our perspective. Making matters more difficult, a couple of gaps exist on the chart which circle major price adjustments where there was no trading. Something happened at the start of the 21st century, when one morning the market awoke and decided Sylvania was no longer worth 5 quid a share but instead, around 33p represented fair value.

In the period since the share price exceeded 96p, we’ve little choice but to seek inspiration from the days when it was trading at 650p. From our standpoint, this is now the only thing making sense, capable of explaining the rise to current levels.

 

Next above 151p should prove capable of bringing a visit to an initial 162p. If exceeded, our longer term secondary calculates at 218p. Above such a level, things are necessarily vague, thanks to the circled gaps and we shall prefer revisit to run the numbers again. We’ve chosen to show a long term 336p but the reality of such ambition almost needs guesswork.

 

Finally, the inset below shows a textbook case of our target levels. Earlier in 2020, the share price indeed hit – and exceeded – our target of 61p. The share price then tanked, plunging to 24p. But at the start of September 2020, the price once again attained our 61p and once the prior highs were finally beaten, a state of “higher highs” existed and the rest is history with the price languishing at 140p presently. The value of the share price would need to literally half before we’d suggest time to panic.

*** Writing a daily thanks to the kind folk who chose to visit adverts on this page reminds people shouldn’t be taken for granted. We’re pleased Google are obviously directing interesting content here.

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

#FTSE #SP500_Futures,  We like to cover shares where folk have been emailing us. Sometimes, we’ve a suspicion they might ‘know a thing or two’ with opportunities being revealed. But we flinched at being asked to investigate Geiger Counter’s potentials. The device, used to measure radiation, is probably the last thing we want to hear about, following a year with Covid-19. Another detail is Europe’s top secret nuclear weapons store just along the road from us, local wisdom strongly suggesting if we ever see anyone waving a Geiger counter around, drive fast in the opposite direction!

It transpires the company “Geiger Counter” enjoy surprising aims, to provide returns to shareholders through their investment in the exploration, development, and production of Uranium to supply the nuclear power industry, the ultimate green solution which everyone tries to pretend shall not be necessary. The organisation are not in the business of supplying radiation detectors to the paranoid here in Argyll, Scotland.

 

Geiger Counter (LSE:GCL) Their share price is showing early signs of becoming useful this year, the price now trading higher than any point in the last 9 years. Something has certainly changed with its prospects with a near term potential of above 45p bringing some movement potential to an initial 51p. However, given the share is trading at higher levels, thanks to breaking its long term downtrend, our inclination is to take a Big Picture long term approach and suggest above 45p should now enter a cycle toward an initial 56p with secondary, if exceeded, at 67p.

We can calculate beyond such a level but will prefer take another look, if our initial target levels make an appearance. For everyone to receive a good scare, the share price needs close a session below 31p as the implications become quite troubling.

Jubilee Metals (LSE:JLP) It’s easy to conclude Jubilee are essentially upmarket scrap dealers, given their mission statement; “Jubilee Metals Group Plc is an industry leading metal recovery business focussed on the retreatment and metals recovery from mine tailings, waste, slag, slurry and other secondary materials generated from mining operations.”

A one time addiction to watching TV documentaries covering the efforts employed in recovery of gold, either from the sea, rivers, holes in the ground, or even discarded printed circuit boards, teaches for just metal, the complex processes in use are truly impressive. In the TV series Gold Rush, one of the more successful mining companies tends to focus on tailings piles left be so called “old timer” miners with modern cleaning and sorting techniques revealing 1,000’s of ounces of gold.

Needless to say, Jubilee appear to be hunting a broad portfolio, including lead, zine, vanadium, copper, and even cobalt.

Their share price is showing some useful potentials with a near term nudge above 22p now looking capable of triggering slight movement to an initial 25p. If exceeded, our longer term secondary calculates at 33p. Above such a level, we’d prefer taking a hard look into our crystal bal as it’s prospects are quite surprising.

Presently trading around 20p, their share price needs dig below 13p to spell trouble as 8p calculates as “ultimate” bottom.

Ferrexpo (LSE:FXPO) The 3rd largest exporter of pellets to the global steel industry, Ferrexpo are located in Ukraine where they presumably inhabit a very big hole in the ground. Established for more than 40 years, they are London listed as members of the FTSE 250.

The share price has been making some extraordinary movements this year, the price finally choosing to accelerate beyond a roughly 3 quid glass ceiling which has been clouding things since 2011. The immediate situation feels quite optimistic, needing growth above 500p to promote the concept of travel to 533p. Our secondary is quite a surprise, calculating at a longer term 571p which will be a new all time high.

Currently trading around 480p, it requires below 277p before an investment is running shoes becomes essential!

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

#Gold_Futures #Nasdaq We reviewed venture capital firm Tern a year ago, finishing our report (link here) with the words “For now, the share looks almost ready to fly“. Alas, with the dampening effect of a pandemic, the share price spent the year waffling around but now, this Tern appears to be attempting to leave the nest and head upward. Starting the week with a 27% upward surge, some considerable hope remains viable, especially as the share price closed at a level not seen since 2018.

 

Terns speciality is to invest in companies who’re involved in the “internet of things”. Wiki’s explanation is probably as succinct as it gets; ‘The Internet of Things describes a network of physical objects (aka things) which are embedded with sensors, software, and other tech for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and systems over the Internet’. The minds eye pictures a smart kettle, telling a smart water tap it needs filled. The kettle will also count the tea bags used, automatically ordering replacements while it secretly plans world domination in the kitchen to resolve a never ending battle with a smart dishwasher which secretly is eating plates…

Perhaps the foregoing will not prove the most ideal scenario to pitch at Tern, if begging for funds. In reality, most of us are exposed to this sort of thing with our cars, everything constantly monitored with high end vehicles even communicating directly to the factory, if a serious fault occurs. The rest of us need to tolerate a mechanic plugging in a cable from a laptop, before making the traditional sharp intake of breath.

 

Returning to the share price, whatever has provoked the rise looks interesting and when we extrapolate price movements since the downtrend was broken in March, we can calculate further gains exceeding 19.5p should make an attempt at 21.5p. This scenario for a 2p rise is pretty tame, concealing something important. If the price manages exceed 21.5p, our view regarding price influences changes dramatically. We’re now projecting above 21.5 should attempt an initial 24p with secondary, if exceeded, a longer term 33p along with almost certain hesitation.

Another facet of this acceleration potential gives a long term calculation of 68p, something which shouldn’t be taken seriously unless the share price manages to close above 33p.

TERN Price Today

 

Visually, if it all intends go wrong, the price needs crash below 10p. This would be a really bad thing as we cannot calculate an ‘ultimate’ bottom.

We keep the adverts to a minimum, hopefully only letting through those which may be of interest. Today was a two latte thank you day!

#Brent #Dax_Futures An experiment while making bread brought Barclays share price to mind. Those folk who’ve tasted Gluten Free bread will be aware it tends lack flavour and once deciding bread is only a platform for “the good stuff” with butter “the glue”, ongoing efforts to make an acceptable food platform result in some truly interesting and sometimes dreadful results. The core ingredients of todays experiment were Coconut flour, Almond flour, Linseed, Salt, Pumpkin & Sunflower seeds, baking powder, and basically anything interesting which caught my eye. Even a dash of apple vinegar was included.

It transpired a couple of teaspoons of Tumeric along with some black pepper, had a surprise effect. The bread substitute, when removed from the oven, had turned a very cowardly yellow. And this reminded immediately of Barclays share price movements over the last three weeks since we last examined it. We submitted 191p as a trigger level which should promote some proper price recovery but each time Barclays share price approaches our starting point, the share turns chicken and retreats in fear. Price movements have become as boring as our efforts in trying to reinvent bread and, like our bread attempts, we fear the only thing which will make Barclays rise will be a miracle.

We’re starting to suspect the price will need gapped above 191p to make price recovery inevitable.

Above 191p now points at the potential of growth to an initial 208p with secondary, if exceeded, at 228p. But importantly, should the market discover sufficient excuse to gap the share above 208p, it’s almost certainly going to create a miracle scenario, expecting a Big Picture cycle to commence to an initial 238p with secondary, if bettered, calculating at a longer term 312p.

For everything to go as badly wrong as todays bread experiment, the share needs drift below an unlikely 152p. For Barclays, we suspect it’s all a matter of patience.

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

Wincing while making a report on a dead parrot, starts to feel different this week. Maybe, there is a faint heartbeat from the #FTSE, the UK’s resident deceased avian! It’s worth remembering we’re still awaiting the UK reaching the starting point where the index can reasonably be expected to move from recovery to growth. As this level is around 7,550 points, with the FTSE now at 7,076 points, there remains distance to travel until the UK reaches “the starting point”.

As most other countries have been trading above their pre-pandemic highs for some time, we can hope the FTSE discovers sufficient strength to reach the start line fairly fast. For instance, Wall St kicked things off last year in November, Germany celebrated the start of 2021 by finally passing its pre-Covid high, and even France joined the party at the start of April. The Australian market, the ASX 200 is currently prowling seductively at the starting line and we’re curious how long it shall take to “kick off”, experiencing a surge toward the 7,850 level. At time of writing, Australia is trading around 7,100 points and a 10% rise will prove worthwhile, confirming a desire to attain new all time highs.

To return to the FTSE, we still need search for strength capable of bringing the UK up to the 7,550 level. As always, please remember we are discussing the real time market and NOT after hours futures!

The index closed Thursdays session at 7,076, needing above just 7,088 to trigger a cycle toward an initial 7,125 points. If exceeded, we calculate a secondary at 7,182 as a viable ambition. If triggered, the tightest stop is painfully wide at 7,000 points.

Despite these targets obviously falling far short of our growth trigger of 7,550, an interesting aspect of the calculations is our secondary level. In the event the UK finds reason to trade above this 7,182 level, the market hits a Big Picture trigger level, one which should promote a longer term concept of growth to 7,719 points with secondary, if bettered, a very sane looking 8,069 points. This will suffice to confirm the FTSE moving into the future with other grown up markets.

The converse argument continues to recede, now requiring the FTSE below 6,760 points for concern, along with sharp reversal potential to 6,265 points.

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

#France #Nasdaq Our intention of looking at an EU share every week was nearly forgotten, taking a low flying A400 military transport to provide a reminder. To set the scene, Tuesday was an overcast day, our dog being walked in the valley between two snow covered mountains. Quiet, peaceful, the only hazard being the sudden appearance of deer or squirrel, always the precursor to spending an hour or so trying to get a Golden Retriever to come back.

From nowhere, a massive aircraft roared overhead, sufficiently close to the ground a blast of wind heralded its passage. The RAF were playing with one of their new toys, an Airbus A400 which, it must be noted, appears substantially quieter thank the old fashioned Hercules it replaced. There was absolutely no way a Hercules could sneak up on me, the 4 engine grumble always giving sufficient warning one of the birds was prowling around in the Scottish glens, giving time to reach for a camera. This new toy, a discrete A400, gave zero warning of its low level approach, and only a glimpse of its distinctive tail fin gave enough of a clue for a Google search to identify the intruder.

This effort also served to remind of our campaign to cover some European stocks, on the basis they’re mostly doing better than UK offerings. Except, that is, for Airbus…

 

The company share price has proven about as interesting as all aviation stocks, since Covid-19 impacted. Similar to US Boeing, Airbus feels like the share price is about to take a trip to challenge the lows of 2021. The immediate suggestion is of weakness below 95 Eu triggering reversal to an initial 85, not a very threatening reversal and certainly giving the visual impression we should anticipate a bounce, should 85 make an appearance. The real danger comes if anything allows the share price to actually close below 85 Euro as our calculations become quite nasty. In such a scenario, we’re able to favour further descent in the direction of 61 Euro, a point where it almost must bounce. Even the visuals share such a suspicion.

However, we suspect the share shall struggle to get below 85, our calculations feeling just a little hysterical. As a result, there’s a fair chance this will prove worth keeping an eye on in case 85 makes a guest appearance.

 

To review the other side of the coin, the share price requires exceed 105 to hint at happy days ahead. Such a trigger presents an initial target level of 115 Euro with secondary, if exceeded, calculating at 128 Euro. Neither ambition comes close to exceeding the pre-Covid high of 138 and given a plethora of gloomy outlooks relating to air travel, common sense suggests aviation shares shall remain trapped between the pandemic highs and lows until such time confidence returns to the world.

Who knows, perhaps that bloke who runs Ryanair shall figure out a way of paying people to fly in his fleet!

Another huge thanks to those folk who find adverts on this page worth visiting.

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.

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

Ripple XRPUSD & Brickability (LSE:BRCK) Our distain for crypto-currency, such as Bitcoin, was echoed eventually with the FCA banning the sale of derivatives and exchange traded notes which reference certain types of crypto assets aimed at retail customers. Too often, there was a Wild West feel across the Bitcoin marketplace with quite shocking differences of price movements experienced, generally feeling like retail traders were the victims. However, we’ve a few folk who keep in touch as they’ve discovered methods for trading slightly offshore, making us suspect a few platforms are doubtless based in the Channel Islands, Gibraltar, or similar. None of the regulated brokers in the UK offer trades in crypto products, several choosing to abandon the game even prior to the Financial Conduct Authority stopping trades in January. ***

Currently, the most common email request we receive refers to something called Ripple, a crypto which has certainly been the victim of some crazy swings over the years. It can be safely assumed we maintain our dislike of crypto but this doesn’t mean we cannot “run the numbers”.

Presently trading at 1.41, Ripple needs exceed 1.67 to suggest a party is starting as this looks capable of acceleration toward an initial 1.90. While this represents a forthcoming challenge of the Blue downtrend since 2018, our secondary calculation, should this be exceeded, comes along with 2.34 dollars. This obviously exceeds the previous high, allowing flamboyant long term expectations around 2.73 dollars. The fake currency needs below $0.85 to give immediate concern as realistically we cannot calculate an ultimate bottom.

***It’s also worth pointing out the price of Gold is currently proving somewhat unstable with irrational swings.

Brickability (LSE:BRCK) are a relatively unknown share, perhaps liable to prove interesting if the often vaunted building trades boom bursts into life properly. A fairly new share, launched on the AIM just a few months before Covid hit the fan, the share price is looking pretty strong at present. Importantly, at 93p currently, the value is above the pre-pandemic level of 75p. This tends confirm underlying strength, giving considerable hope for the future.

Above just 95p looks very capable of taking a run toward 109p with secondary, if exceeded, calculating at a longer term 119p. Above such a level, we shall need revisit the tea leaves. Share price movements historically have proven well behaved and we’re curious as to whether this shall continue its strong performance.

For light relief, it’s worth a glance at the company website. An almost unhealthy fascination with Brick is evident and we shall not be surprised if they publish an in-house magazine called Brickipedia. (Should they read this and adopt the idea, we’ll love payment in anything except brick…) All kidding aside, this company, who we’d never heard of until some emails were received, appear to be a substantial national organisation, almost an all-trades presence in the trade. Many of their subsidiary trading names will be immediately recognised.

Wonder if they produce ‘Pin Up Calendars’ featuring scantily clad bricks…

*** Our thanks, yet again, to those kind folk who find the adverts on this page useful.
