Trends And Targets

Laura Ashley #Gold #SP500 It’s funny how a dislike for a share can be formed. In the case of Laura Ashley, it was the case of owning a cottage built in 1702, combined with the lethal mix of a girlfriend and a fairly local Laura Ashley store. Neither the house nor the girlfriend remain in my life, only a lifelong distain for anything from “Laura Ashley”. Continue reading “Trends and Targets for 26/02/2019”

FARON PHARMA #Brent #DAX Finally, after 6 years, a significant milestone was reached in my personal journey through the joys of Leukemia. This one was odder than most, involving the protocol of going for a pee. (Keep reading, it is true toilet humour!) When first going through chemotherapy back in 2013, I was warned extensively about the danger posed by urine as the chemicals were expelled. My wife and I developed a complete bio-hazard protocol, effectively ensuring Russian secret agents could do what they wanted to our toilet pan, no-one was going to get hurt.

FTSE for FRIDAY #DAX #Nasdaq Sometimes we wish part of the #FTSE would follow our political leaders and break away from the main index. It could call itself “the Whoopsie” and be ignored by the rest of the market. But the media would doubtless focus closely on what it was doing to the detriment of everything else.

ZOO Digital #Brent #SP500 This once popular share is at risk of becoming really messy. We have a big problem with the drop last month down to 57p as, theoretically, any drop should have bounced at 70p. Instead, the market opted to take the share substantially lower before some sort of miracle recovery. Continue reading “Trends and Targets for 21/02/2019”

Versarien #Nasdaq #CAC40 We reviewed #Versarien last week (link here), assuming it was going to take time to reverse from 114 down to 87. Recent price moves explained, concisely, why we avoid giving timescales. We’re not Dr Who and a share price can make all the right (or) wrong steps, then shuffle to our target levels eventually, the speed element defying any logic. But generally, it will get there!

Glencore #Gold #SP500 With the changing fortunes against the price of Gold, it made sense to review one of the major miners. Of course, it was only once we completed the report did we notice Glencore are famous for everything – except Gold. A typical Monday ‘oops’ moment!

Mixed Bags of #Gold Nuggets. #Dax #Brent We tried something new at the weekend, giving a talk to the local (in Argyll) business community on thoughts for the future, Post-Brexit, using varied instruments as the basis of discussion. Obviously Sterling, Gold, Brent, the FTSE, and even Lloyds Bank featured in our presentation, each item provoking useful Q & A sessions. Continue reading “Trends and Targets for 18/02/2019”
