#STOXX #NASDAQ A recent Appeal Court judgement, from memory something to do with the usually poisonous issue of transgender rights, proved “interesting”. The lengthy written judgement, designed to expand upon the judges decision and provide clarity, became an issue. The initial written judgement, it was decided, needed clarification as it cited as “case law” previous court cases, ones where the decision was completely contrary to that claimed in the “written judgement”.\u00a0 It was quickly “leaked” the judgement had been written by AI and the software was experiencing issues with the nuances of the English language.<\/p>\n

In other words, software could not cope with the subtlety of the classic Panda explanation, “Eats, Shoots, & Leaves”. The delicious mental picture of a Panda wandering into an enclosure, gunning down a zoo keeper, eating the body and leaving to catch the Number 9 bus, is at odds with the Panda diet of bamboo shoots and leafs. Legal finesse of the language had confused an AI, pointed in the direction of bodging together a major “Written Justification” in a case where the confusion of gender was already present.<\/p>\n

We immediately thought of Relx Plc, their stated aim being the gibberish of;<\/p>\n

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

We utterly distrust the current hype around AI, constantly expecting the bubble of optimism to messily burst, and\u00a0 were obviously amused at such a major judgement being justified by citing court cases where exactly the opposite had happened.\u00a0 No matter what, the implications for the legal system were not ideal, especially as so-called “AI” had just revealed its ambitions to be a “text to speech” software design, one which utterly lacked any semblance of intelligence. Unless it believed a mental picture of a Panda toting a Kalashnikov AK47.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Relx Plc share price, despite halving in recent months, still does not describe a market which has lost faith (in the false god) of AI. In fact, it’s still quite far from the point where we need fear a stake is being driven through its heart. Currently, below 2674p should trigger reversals to an initial 2382p and a possible bounce. Our secondary, if such a level breaks, calculates fairly close by at 1882p.<\/p>\n

This secondary is a major issue. It takes the share price below an uptrend since 2012, exposing the painful reality of a potential future share price collapse to an eventual ridiculous sounding 13p. Which probably would be something of a disappointment to those surfing the AI wave. Unfortunately, there are plenty of shares, where once enthusiastic holders boast “the price was once xyz” with a plaintive note, believing it could head that way again.<\/p>\n

At time of writing, Relx Plc share price needs above 3150p to indicate a sharp change in fortunes, giving an initial 3447 with our secondary, if bettered, at 3712p. We’re not optimistic for such an outcome. For now, we’re stuck with the title of a tune by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, quite unfair when applied to a corporate such as Relx Plc…<\/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
