Greencoat UK Wind Plc (LSE:UKW) trading around 103.50 at time of writing.

#Stoxx #Germany We’ve become quite firmly against the concept of wind-power, especially onshore. Suspecting it’s only a great idea for companies who are subsidy junkies, here in Argyll there’s always quite lively resistance every time a new “will be great for the community” planning application crawls from under a rock. Oddly, the current weather, along with the vile winter of 2010, reminds of why wind turbines are a waste of money.  When we REALLY need electricity in times of cold, such as 2010, or in times of air conditioners such as right now, the wind isn’t blowing. The winter of 2010/11 was spectacular, sub-zero for around 12 weeks due to something called a “Blocking High”. There was no wind and our private hydro electric system couldn’t run, due to the brook being frozen. It was a nasty reminder of how “green” initiatives didn’t work, when most needed. Thankfully, we’ve a forest above the garden, loads of trees and plenty of fuel for our wood burning stove.

Currently, with super weather conditions, the brook in the garden is dry and when we look across the sea to wind turbines polluting Ayrshire, they’re all taking a break due to the lack of wind.

In conclusion, for Argyll, green energy repeatedly doesn’t work, when power is needed. At present, there’s a local battle against an initiative to bring 500′ tall wind turbines to the area, the thinking presumably being a bigger turbine will cope with our miserable weather, when it isn’t freezing or boiling. 500 foot tall wind turbines will obviously foul up Argyll’s scenery, even soaring above the hills which almost successfully conceal our nearest town of Dunoon, a place trapped in time, where nothing actually happens. An ongoing joke is the local cinema still plays “Gone With The Wind” on repeat. (though, to be fair, the place is quite nice inside and their goodies prices as shameless as any mainland cinema)

Our conscience clear after admitting our bias against wind farm charlatans, selling products which don’t work when needed, we must concede Greencoat share price is on the edge of becoming interesting. we’ve been able to calculate 108p as a potential trigger level for creating fun days ahead. Perhaps there’s an expectation the newest UK Prime Minister shall introduce a new set of headline grabbing initiatives, allowing movement above 108 to trigger gains to an initial 118 with our secondary, if beaten, at a future 131p. These sort of movements shall doubtless prove quite attractive, giving the threat of a Big Picture 161p providing a distant attraction.

Should things intend go ‘IBM Shaped’ (glance at their share price), below 99p should cause extreme eyebrow action, giving the potential for weakness to an initial 96p with our secondary, if broken, at 90p and perhaps a bottom. Or perhaps not, the Big Picture suggesting bottom should be just above 76p.

This could prove worth watching.

Ithaca Energy Plc (LSE:ITH) trading around 558 at time of writing.

#GOLD #NASDAQ We’ve been receiving emails recently relating to a bunch of shares which have proven fairly reliable in paying dividends.  It feels like quite a few folk are more concerned about dividend income, rather than focussing on share price movements. Obviously, it’s the case investors want both things to happen. There’s little point in receiving dividends, if the long term value of your initial investment decreases’ by commensurate amounts and fails to recover.

Thankfully, Ithaca, despite movements this year, do not appear to be following a downward pattern. Quite the opposite, the share price doubtless enjoying the undercurrents of events in the Middle East, wanting to go up, inhibited by global chaos and suffering the same damage common among many shares.

At present, we’d have some concern with share price movement below 220p as this threatens to trigger reversal to an initial 211p with our secondary, if broken, a potential bottom at 185p. Visually, this secondary target has the potential to challenge the Red uptrend since 2024, something which can be viewed as a potential opportunity perhaps. While nothing suggests this may be a risk currently, it’s certainly worth remembering the proximity of the Red line, should Ithaca start some reversals.

However, it feels more probable some gains can be anticipated. Above 242p feels like it has the potential to trigger gains to an initial 257p with our secondary, if bettered, a surprising 294p. This secondary would represent a new all time high, placing the share price in a zone where a future 330p shall be regarded as exerting an attraction.

Fingers crossed.

Entain Plc (LSE:ENT) trading around 558 at time of writing.

#Gold #Nasdaq It’s the Midge Season here in Argyll, where tourists are told the irritating insects don’t fly, if the wind is above 10kph. And swarms will die off, if the temperature is below 10c. The rain, of course, always stops the insects from biting. Unfortunately, none of this is true, this insect with the fastest wing speed in the world, being able to concentrate on its sole reason for existing, biting people, regardless of the weather conditions. But gullible tourists think the urban myths of wind, temperature, and rain, are true, generally until they go slightly insane chasing the next itchy bit for 48 hours.

Unfortunately, the Midge is not the worst culprit here in Argyll. The really bad one is the “Cleg” – not named after a politician with similar blood sucking ambitions. The “Cleg” needs your blood though it really wants to bite your head off. This particular local vampire insect is capable of leaving a wound which will last for years, each bite ideally needing a wire brush attached to an electric drill to have a chance of getting rid of the itch. Of course, “Clegs” are not a problem, as long as you are nowhere near water, trees, or fresh air. Thankfully, Scotland famously lacks these three elements in any great quantity, aside from the fact they are all over the place. The “Cleg” season is June to September, now impressively active with our local hospital outpatients dealing with folk daily. These are not nice insects and – hot local lore – only a couple of drops of Castor Oil seems to arrest the devastating impact, when one of the things tries to remove a limb. There are frequent reports of the things biting through tight denim jeans.  Neither Midges or Clegs tend be a problem on the sea-shore, neither fond of salt water.

As can be assumed, we seriously detest Clegs. With grand-daughters visiting this coming weekend, their plan of a canoe trip down the local river to the sea, then to paddle along the shoreline to our house, sounds like a great adventure. Except for the Cleg issue which means I shall either spend time in a wetsuit with gloves or, monitor the girls from the shore, safe in an air conditioned car. For some reason, Cleg bites don’t seem to effect children or, perhaps it’s the case the insects only go after the weaker members of the pack in a similar fashion to Lions hunting the oldest, most infirm, antelope in a herd, thus making me their target!

Unfortunately, the foregoing has something to do with the gambling people, Entain Plc. The problem we have is their share price “should not” have closed below 601p and it has managed to pull off this scenario. This makes it one of the weaker members of the herd!  From our perspective, 601p had become an “ultimate low” and share now trading in a zone where a potential bottom price is prefixed with a minus sign. Obviously, such a scenario is impossible though the UK’s newest Prime Minister may table a law with companies forcing investors to take money to buy their shares? We can hope…

Thankfully the share price boasts a Red Line, an obvious uptrend since 15 years ago in 2011 and the market appears to be adhering to this Red line. So perhaps our ultimate bottom calculation at Minus 41p isn’t yet on the table. Below 452p looks like delivering real panic for this share price, so that’s an important number to watch for as investing in running shoes would be a great bet!

However, if the market indeed has a cunning plan, the share price now needs exceed 598p as this, theoretically, has the potential to trigger recovery to an initial 764p with our secondary, if beaten, at 617p. Amazingly, this also dumps the share price in a zone where a longer term 1031p calculates as eventually possible.

Perhaps worth watching, maybe it will actually start to perform.

Barclays Plc (LSE:BARC) trading around 512 at time of writing.

#Brent #SP500 The stock market is all about Risk vs Reward but we didn’t think war could employ similar rules. Currently, Iran appears to have working on how many missiles and drones do they need fire to provoke a change in the price of Crude. It appears the weekend gave them an answer, tossing a few hundred weapons both at maritime and land based targets, successfully provoked an initial 3 dollar gain in the price of crude. Doubtless, the nice folk with their pocket calculators can immediate work out how many new weapons can be purchased for their next assault on the oil price.

To judge by market Futures, world indices don’t currently appear terrorised by Iran’s behaviour, prices heading a bit downward in a motion which feels more like they are acknowledging what happened, rather than running in circles doing headless chicken impersonations. In fact, both UK Crude and US Crude are manoeuvring in a zone which could easily see sharp reversal to 2020 price levels, essentially $57 and $49 respectively. Of course, in this day and age, we’d bet “they” shrink the barrel sizes!

Barclays share price, in line with our report three weeks ago, the share price achieved closure at 529p, just above our initial target of 528p and sufficient to assure we’re following the correct trend. From our perspective, this now means movements above 531p should promote a visit to 584p next with our longer term secondary, if beaten, at a future 610p and almost certain hesitation.

Unfortunately, there’s the risk the share price shall enter the “slow down” dance generated by events in the Middle East. This being the case, below Blue – presently 497p) risks triggering reversal to an initial 477 with our secondary, if broken, at 459p and a potential bounce.

It’s fingers crossed time…

Our Universally followed FTSE for FRIDAY (FTSE:UKX) 

#FTSE #Falklands It’s 169 days until Christmas, 10 days until the UK finds itself with another useless Prime Minister. and 9 days until the World Cup final,. The ongoing production line of leaders who shouldn’t have advanced beyond being local ton councillors continues and we suspect folk who live in the Falklands or Gibraltar should be worried. It’s unlikely they view leadership from “the mother country” and believe their future is safe. In a similar fashion, we’re a bit twitchy about the prospects for the FTSE and how Sterling shall hold up. Everything feels like a countdown!

From our (sometimes a bit cynical) perspective, we shall ring alarm bells if the FTSE wanders below 10,410 points as this threatens to trigger reversal down to an initial 10,341 with our secondary, if broken, at 10,210 points. This secondary is liable to be a problem, dumping the value of the FTSE into a region with the potential of ongoing drama down to 9.632 points. Visually, this sort of thing would be worse than appearing on BBC Question Time, moving the FTSE into territory where further drops in 1,000 point increments become very possible.

This is why we’re very nervous about the next Prime Minister. The stock market feels poised to render judgement.

Unfortunately, the FTSE needs above 10,680 to start providing evidence of real movement, dark threats of recovery to an initial 10,950, maybe even a future 11.230 points. This particular secondary would certainly be a brave new world, one where we could dream of successful FTSE 100 components along with a FTSE hanging its coat on a distant hook just above 12,000 points.

Unfortunately, for now, we suspect the FTSE 100 shares Louis Hamilton’s chances of winning a Drivers Championship this year. Worse still, we’ve another 7 days to wait before the next Formula1 fiasco, ideally a race in which Hamilton wins and none of the other drivers make it to the end of the day. Perhaps a bit like Mr Farage’s forthcoming election.

Have a good weekend. The Met Office say most of us shall be using sun creams.

Vistry Group Plc (LSE:VTY) trading around 234.40 at time of writing and interesting!

#Gold #Japan Vistry promote themselves as “The Affordable Housing Specialist”, obviously placing themselves firmly in the target of the Bank of England, an organisation keen to ensure few people can afford houses by artificially keeping interest rates high. The failed economic experiment of keeping interest rates to tackle inflation simply hasn’t worked, central banks somehow failing to grasp the basic concept of forcing prices up with interest rates only increases inflation. And now, with a massive house builder issuing a Profits Warning, maybe the message shall get through to the so called economists advising the BoE their policies are actively hurting the economy of the UK.

To be fair, once you read beyond the headlines, Vistry still remain in profit and despite their falling order book, remain in the business of building and selling the occasional property.  Unfortunately, they also remain with a share price which currently emulates the Pfizer New York tower with support beams looking like they are made of toffee.

When we previously reviewed Vistry Group, we projected 281p as our secondary target, anticipating it would be a bottom for the share price. This, unfortunately, turns out to be as concise as anything the current Prime Minister says, 281p fading away faster than candidates willing to challenge Nigel Farage in a by-election!

When we review share price movements since May of this year, it’s pretty obvious our 281p level meant something special to the market, considerable effort now being made to ensure the share value remains below such a level. Things are now looking just a little dodgy with weakness below 221 now  threatening reversal to 190p with our secondary, if broken, at a future bottom of 160p.

If the 281 level is as valid as the chart extract suggests, movement next above such a level should prove convincing, giving an initial target of 343p with our longer term secondary, if bettered, at a future 520p. Normally we’d ridicule such an ambition but visually, it starts to make rather a lot of sense.

Long story short, we suspect Vistry may be approaching a bottom. Maybe the bounce shall prove useful.

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.

Fresnillo Plc (LSE:FRES) and GOLD thoughts, trading around 2,723 at time of writing.

#FTSE #GOLD We’ve always thought Fresnillo company name sounded like they may produce ice-lolly’s or perhaps something based in milk. Unsurprisingly, their focus is completely different, the worlds largest Silver producer and also holding the accolade of being one of Mexico’s largest Gold miners. In addition to their Mexican operations, they also dig holes in Canada, Chile, and Peru. Despite the visual similarities between the charts for LSE:FRES and PM:XAUUSD (Gold), the rate of pull back from highs earlier this year differs.

Gold has pulled back from its highs by around 26%, whereas Fresnillo have retreated faster than a Mexican with a goal opportunity, down 38% from their January highs. Regardless, it feels like there’s a broad expectation for Gold itself to enter a meltdown cycle to an initial 3,600 dollars, maybe even a bottom and hopeful bound just above the $3,042 level. The price of Gold needs exceed $4,300 to force us to revisit these numbers, surprise gains suddenly looking possible.

For Fresnillo, below 2,670p risks triggering ongoing reversals down to an initial 2,267p with our secondary, if broken, ideally calculating at 1,459p and hopefully a solid bounce. In fact, we’d hope for a bounce before such a calculation makes itself known. From our perspective, the share price needs above 3,300p to nullify the downward potentials.

In the event the share price finds an excuse to exceed 3,300p, we’re able to calculate an initial ambition at 3,662 with our secondary, if bettered, a longer term 4,019p. This secondary is liable to be a really big deal, dropping the share value in a zone where a future 4,910 calculates as a reasonable hope, along with a new all time high for the share price.

Unfortunately, we’re fairly comfortable with the idea Fresnillo shall continue to head in the opposite direction from many FTSE 100 constituents, suspecting an eventual visit to the Blue downtrend on the chart, a line which dates back to 2011.
