#Gold #Nasdaq The headline below certainly caught our interest. As the owner of a 1970’s electric guitar signed by all the members of Slade, it’s probable an accusation of being a fan of the group would be fair. And suddenly, with “Construction News” reporting the band are leading their efforts in the UK regions, makes a lot of sense, after all the senior decision makers in all these councils were also doubtless Slade fans back in the day.<\/p>\n

Alas, it was another reason to distrust a headline. The truth was someone called Kay Slade had become their new MD. She looks nice but probably was not born when Slade outsold the Beatles… But doubtless, many conversations with her begin with “Merry Christmas !!!”, which has probably become an irritant over her life.<\/p>\n

Balfour Beatty share price, obviously trading at all time high levels, still surprises us with some useful Big Picture potentials.<\/p>\n

Above 736p currently indicates the chance of triggering movement to an initial 886p with our secondary, of bettered, at 904p. The close proximity of these target levels certainly indicates the potential of a ceiling level. Om the distant future, we can also indicate\u00a0 a future 1030p as exerting a distant attraction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our alternate scenario, if things decide to go wrong, suggests weakness below 74p would now be required to provoke reversals to an initiatl 694 qith our secondary, if broken, working out at a hopeful bottom of 665p.<\/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
