Trends And Targets

#FTSE #Nasdaq STV stands for Scottish Television, often regarded as a bit of a joke north of the border. But they’ve reinstated their dividend, so perhaps worthy of some consideration. When the national Scottish football team was playing, they opted to show the equivalent of a Welsh tiddlywinks contest instead. Their excuse; “we didn’t think Scotland would qualify…” tends display their core ethos. Similarly, their approach to news appears to be to check what the other channels are saying, then copy it. At times, it’s easy to suspect the only thing keeping STV going are endless government sponsored adverts for Covid-19 related announcements.

Hopefully the channel is charging the government “full retail” as investors will expect a dividend return for all this faux advertising. Perhaps not, given they’ve just announced a massive fall in profits and revenue too. By reinstating their dividend, the company are broadcasting optimism for the future and do suggest they’ve big plans for the next few years.

 

Presently trading around 336p, the share price needs better 349 to give hope for price improvements as growth to an initial 382p looks possible with secondary, if exceeded, at 441p. Quite a few shares are making attempts at pre-Covid highs from 2020 and we note, our secondary calculation rather neatly challenges such an ambition, making it believable.

Premier African Minerals (LSE:PREM) The magic words, ‘Rare Earths’, tend make us pay attention but until this lot started to be the focus of emailed questions, we’d never paid them attention. Of course, we’re always a bit suspicious of shares trading for less than a penny, due to the frequent casualty rates but something about price movements in recent days caught our attention.

At present, trading at 0.366p, the share requires exceed 0.496p to give hope for continued gains. Obviously, shares of this price can suffer mercilessly from the offered spread. For instance, on Tuesday the price was reports as down 7.8% but the number becomes meaningless with an offered spread of 10.3%. This creates the unpleasant notion where any price movement needs be large in percentage terms before any profit is made. And it gets worse, if factoring the cost of dealing the trade.

Above 0.496p certainly has some potential, allowing growth toward an initial 0.577p with secondary, if bettered, working out at 0.764p. Importantly, and amazingly, by achieving our initial target, the share will find itself in a region which permits longer term traffic toward 0.99p and perhaps beyond. We cannot calculate any drop potentials against this share. Since 2016 it has been trading in a region where all drop targets must be prefaced with a minus sign.

The fact they are still listed on the market must surely give hope!

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

#Gold #WallSt Recent weeks has seen utter capitulation in the face of rubbish wireless signals from rubbish routers. Despite manufacturers promising the earth, it became the work of minutes, then hours, then days, to conceal good old fashioned network cable throughout the house, discrete plug in points placed in every room. Once the concession had been made of PC’s & Laptops suffering from poor wireless, buying network adapters for the tablets came next. To be honest, both Android and Apple devices experienced a complete new lease of life as once connected, dramatic pauses became a thing of the past.

The annoying detail behind this workload was revealed when upgrading domestic broadband to fibre optic. A single computer, plugged into the fancy BT router, had no complaints. Everything else which was wireless continued behave as badly as before fibre optic, making us realise the problem with our internet was not the connection. Instead, domestic wireless signals were, for us, utterly rubbish. Once this admission was acknowledged, suddenly friends are changing their domestic network regimes, discovering similar results. It’s even been the case that one person, indulging in the most lazy routine for moving into a new flat (Covid-19 allowed him to remain with his Mum, while decorating and furnishing his new place) has opted for a further excuse for “the big move” while he lifts flooring to route cables everywhere!

 

Of course, this brings us to Vodafone and the promise of broadband via cellular providers. Personal experience with individual computers has been good, when a phone is tethered to a laptop. Against this has been the constant fear of excess charges by exceeding a download quota. Communication companies generally prove quite predatory, when either quota’s or ‘reasonable use’ allowances are exceeded. This is obviously a pity, the attractions of breaking free from any form of terrestrial cable certainly appeal. For now, the safest option (for us) is remaining plugged into BT, while remaining with fairly large usage allowances on cellular devices. In theory, the only thing which can stop us now is a power cut, experience teaching such events also stop cellular towers operating.

 

Vodafone share price has experienced a bit of a rocky few years, presently flailing around in the 120 and 130’s. We’ve a particular reason to allocation 137p as a trigger level and given the price is currently trading around 133p, it’s certainly not got far to travel. Above 137p calculates with an initial potential of a fairly tame 145p with secondary, if exceeded, calculating at 160p and almost certain hesitation given this matches the price highs, pre pandemic.

We suspect closure above Red on the chart, a line which actually dates back nearly 20 years, shall prove very important for the longer term. At present this is pretty close to our 137p trigger level but once this trends solidly exceeded, we can start allocating targets for the infinitely patient as a track toward a distant 238p becomes possible.

 

For panic to take hold, the price needs slip below 120p.

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

#BrentCrude #CAC40Index When we last speculated over market trends and prospective targets with Lloyds, we’d expressed some thoughts of the 40p level being important sometime in the future. Price movements proved strange, taking 3 sessions before the critical level triggered, then a further 5 sessions before things started to look fairly positive. Only when reviewing price movements did everything start to make a degree of sense.

This is very much a ‘Back to School Basics’ exercise. On 24th February, when the share price spiked to 41p, it did so at the open. A pretty reliable rule of thumb, proven correct at 80% of the time, warns of some dangers with opening second spikes. Generally, unless this artificial high is exceeded within the first 90 minutes of trading, the spike will prove “fake”, rarely able to sustain the day and creating a situation where some folk believe “the price had to go up, so it could go down…” We’re less than comfortable with any logic behind this statement but experience teaches it’s often true. Unless an order has been previously placed, we feel few traders rarely can take advantage of these situations to see and worse, if it was a Buy Order, many folk would be furious at almost being tricked into buying a share which looses 7% of its value shortly thereafter.

We prefer to stand back and take a deep breath. After all, the market just proved the trigger level can be pulled, so it’s all just a matter of patience thereafter.

 

Last week, the share again exceeded the 40p level and now we’re inclined to some real optimism for the future. Hopefully neither Covid, Brexit, or The Royal Family stick their oar in and spoil things. Presently, every indication against Lloyds suggests movement next continuing above 42p should attempt an initial 50p with secondary, if bettered, calculating at 55p along with a strong possibility of some hesitation. As the chart below illustrates, prior to the Covid-19 drop last year,  for some reason Lloyds stuttered around just above the 55p level before joining the rest of the market in leaping off a cliff.

We suspect this share price shall require closure above 55p in the future to indicate happy days ahead with some ‘proper’ price recovery.

 

To warn of things going wrong, Lloyds bank needs trade below 36p to justify some panic. Visually, there appears little threat of such a movement. Yet!

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

Once again, it’s time for our world famous #FTSE for Friday, along with an outpouring of misery for its prospects. For the last few years, we feel we constantly moan about how badly the FTSE is performing, when compared to its peers. We decided to take a snapshot of what’s been happening, if we use The Brexit Vote as an anchor, comparing “what happened next” with a few other key national index’ trends. The results proved quite sobering, more shocking when recovery from the Covid-19 drops are viewed.

Obviously, topping the chart is the USA with the example given, the S&P, now trading 20% higher than its level before Covid hit. Germany and the Dax is more modest, around 6% above the pre-Covid level with Australia and France nervously challenging their pre-Covid market levels right now. To be fair, we can easily calculate targets of 6,750 sometime in the future for France and somewhere around 7,900 for Australia. But only once they start achieving highs above their pre-pandemic levels. The funny thing, despite the S&P500 running ahead, we fear it shall run out of steam just before the 4,300 level.

It sometimes feels disloyal to our country, highlighting this sort of shambles but the harsh reality cannot be ignored. The FTSE needs grow 15%, just to draw level with the current position of France and Australia. Then, things get a little frightening as we’re currently calculating such a scenario with a potential high of 8,100 before trouble. Perhaps the UK Govt shouldn’t have caused the deaths of so many (in 2020, the worlds only open airports and ports policy?) and also, should perhaps be performing better when handling Brexit.

If ‘interesting’ is a simile for ‘worrying’, we live in interesting times!

FTSE for Friday Despite the last week proving somewhat boring, March as a whole is actually showing some interesting potentials and we should now be singing the praises of a potential rise toward 6,816 points, perhaps even 6,935 points if everything goes right. Unfortunately, the FTSE, perhaps due to lethargy and the reasons given above, is proving quite hesitant and we’re inclined to establish a “safe” trigger level at 6,757 points.

In the event the FTSE betters 6,757, we calculate an initial ambition of 6,816 points. we are nervous proposing a secondary at 6,935 points, suspecting a fearful UK market shall recoil if it matches the highs of January this year at 6,900 points.

For everything to (again) go wrong, the index needs trade below 6,690 as this risks triggering reversal toward an initial 6,645 with secondary, if broken, at 6,594 points.

Have a good weekend and remember, now only 2 weeks until the Formula1 season starts.

Please remember, all prices are mid-price (halfway between the Buy and Sell).

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.

#SP500 #BrentCrude New returnee to the FTSE 100, we’d hoped the market throw a surprise party. Alas, the converse seems true. A chum worked at Weirs Pumps Glasgow unit in the 1980’s, a designer who was never comfortable with the morning commute. One day, instead of his daily paper for the train, he noticed Playboy magazine had a prominent article on a motorcycle, one he really wanted to buy. Needless to say,  “legend” status was achieved, sitting reading Playboy while surrounded by folk reading the Guardian or whatever, everyone frantically trying not to look over his shoulder. The monthly Playboy habit stuck and for years was known as the guy who literally bought Playboy for the writing.

 

As mentioned, there appears to be a lack of a party mood for Weirs, quite the converse at present. Presently trading around 1875p, the share need only slip below 1789 to enter a cycle toward an initial 1593p. Despite the visuals implying the possibility of a rebound at such a level, the longer term secondary of 1186p looks more capable of providing a “bottom” sometime in the future, especially as it covers the market gap from October last year.

Surprisingly, we’d a “however”, one which dates back to the downtrend since 2014. Twice this year, the market has shown this vague trend can be exceeded and it’s not terribly difficult to surmise any future nudge above shall present a picture of growth.

Effectively, above just 1990p should prove useful, entering a continued growth cycle to an initial 2272 with secondary, if exceeded, calculating at a longer term 2527p and some probable hesitation.

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

#CAC40 #DAX The dystopian vision of a future from the film Wall-E is already upon us. It began with the invention of the wheel, continued with the advent of the TV remote control, and now, we no longer need shop or even phone for food. Historically, it appears a safe bet to satisfy the human craving to do as little as possible, as effortlessly as possible. Perhaps there’s an opening for a robot domestic vacuum cleaner, capable of opening the front door and collecting dinner from the bloke on the moped…

Even here in our corner of Argyll, a part of the UK usually last to adopt new fangled things, has Just Eat delivering food from the Chinese takeaway. The outlet opted to ban collections from their shop for the duration of lockdown. The delivery driver, amusingly, doubles as the local postman, ensuring he always knows exactly where he’s going. We suspect folk familiar with Just Eats predatory order commissions retain the habit of just phoning the restaurant anyway.

 

We’re curious if delivery companies shall suffer, with lockdown starting to ease throughout the country. We suspect any reduction shall prove short lived, thanks to folk becoming used to the sheer convenience of hot food delivery and return to our opening paragraph. Essentially, to mangle a saying, no-one ever went broke betting on humans taking the easiest path.

 

After expressing hope for the future with such confidence, we’re a little curious due to recent price movements for Just Eat. At time of writing, the share is trading around 6844p, needing below 6320p to give cause for concern. There’s a very real risk of such weakness triggering reversals to an initial 5024 with secondary, when broken, at a bottom of 4427p and hopefully a proper rebound. To be fair, we’d hope our secondary never makes an appearance, any bounce occurring well above such a level.

At present, the price needs exceed Blue (7225p) to give immediate hope as this looks very capable of triggering growth to an initial 7864 with secondary, if bettered, at 8257p. With the company due to issue a trading statement, perhaps some optimism can be anticipated as the last year must surely have provided a gift to their income levels during 2020.

#Gold #SP500 This share price is looking pretty optimistic for some reason. As technology develops and the internet improves, a surprising phenomena is frequently noticed when our lounge TV is turned on. There’s a little box in the middle of the screen, advising ‘The TV Automatically Turned Off Due To Lack Of Activity”. Nowadays, the lounge big screen tends be used to watch Coronation St (not me), then muted and forgotten, left to wither away like an unwatered potted plant. My wife’s viewing habits have changed, her iPad tending favour unending documentaries on YouTube or other streaming services but most emphatically no longer dependant on satellite TV.

In the interests of full disclosure, she is watching ITV while I’m writing this in the office. An interview with a celebrity Royal Family couple is mandatory viewing in the UK tonight. Presumably the folk involved will launch a ‘Premium Rate Phone Call’ competition for viewers before the show ends, offering the prize of a holiday or car to anyone who paid attention.

 

Despite a personal distrust of such a terrestrial TV company, presumably there are doing something to capture the tablet revolution. Near term, it certainly looks like strength exceeding 122p should propel the share price toward an initial 133p, along with a collision against the downtrend since 2016. It will become utterly crucial for the share price to actually close a session above 131p to allow us to present some quite useful numbers for the longer term.

Closure above 131p creates a scenario, where an initial 173p is expected with secondary, if bettered, at 173p. We fear, given historical behaviour around the 173p level, some stutters shall occur should such a number make itself known. After all, there’s bound to be a bunch of frustrated folk who bought around this level a few years ago, desperately hoping “this” was the time the share price will go up. Invariably, this select gang will bail a share at break even, creating selling pressure while the regain use of their funds.

In the case of ITV, we suspect this shall be an erroneous judgement for the long, long, term, if only on the basis the 4th attempt will be the charm.

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.
