#FTSE #Gold As a child, there was always fascination at the pages of thumbnail sized adverts in the rear pages of newspapers, selling literally anything and often advertised at “apparently” super cheap prices. Nowadays, having not bought or read a printed paper for at least 20 years (aside from our local paper here in Argyll, apparently a title which enjoys the greatest market penetration in the newspaper world), it’s certainly questionable whether these pages of promises to a new world of gadgets still exist.<\/p>\n

But all is not lost and being curious about fold away e-bikes, taking a few minutes to peruse the junk available from China was reminiscent of childhood, fascinated at the variety of tiny little adverts. However, the crafty algorithm powering Alibaba and Temu certainly knows its market, opting to dump a little advert for a mini digger amongst all the bikes. After all, what bloke wouldn’t want a mini digger? We’re a little unusual in our location, teetering on the edge of being able to justify such a machine, as we continue to plot on how to sort our rear lawn which is on a merciless slope. With our own digger, we could try ideas out, get them wrong, fix them and start again. Trenches could be excavated at the drop of a hat, all the “man stuff” blokes aspire to, if only they owned a Mini Digger.<\/p>\n

Plus such a machine would make a great combined Xmas & Birthday present. Fast forwarding to the end of the story, my wife looked at the advert and grunted “No” to both the cheap folding e-bikes and the diggers too. Apparently my little red tractor is the limit of my freedom of transport! But on the plus side, I still drive a folding roof with a car attached, my dogs transporter, the fab VW Eos.<\/p>\n

Our FTSE for Friday<\/b> is a bit difficult this week, due to the UK index appearing to be enjoying a little nap. It was difficult to exercise restraint by not showing the closing price chart since the start of September. The FTSE appears to be losing interest, now slinking below the Red uptrend as the effects of the BoE decision to keep the UK economy struggling hits home. We’re often quite spiteful about how poisonous the Bank of England actually are, the organisation somehow failing to appreciate the FTSE 100 alone is worth trades of 5 or 6 billion pounds a day, substantially lower than it should be at this time of year. there’s an ongoing issue with the UK marketplace, a lack of decent IP launches along with a series of companies delisting from London, giving lack of share price value as their reason, and then popping up on the S&P, Nasdaq or even HK or European listings.<\/p>\n

The immediate situation for the FTSE isn’t great as traffic below 9203 points risks promoting reversal to an initial 9160 points and a very possible short lived bounce. But we’d expect 9160 to break, giving access to a bottom around 9108 points and a proper rebound, always assuming your fingers are properly crossed! If triggered, 9238 looks like a viable stop loss position.<\/p>\n

The index requires movement above 9267 points, giving the probability of a lurch upward to 9307 points with our secondary, if beaten, at 9351 points.<\/p>\n

Have a good weekend. For us, it’s a Scottish holiday which means grand-daughters visiting and they’re now at that awkward age where they’ve decided to bring friends. In other words, you cannot have enough toilets with six females in a house… No Grand Prix, next one is Singapore in a week, often capable of real entertainment.<\/p>\n

SUCCESS above means both FAST & SLOW targets were met. ‘CESS means just the FAST target met and probably the next time it is exceeded, movement to the SLOW target shall commence.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
