Sorry, our Broadband failed, making it impossible to publish this before the markets opened.. <\/span><\/p>\n

We’ve got a held a vote; is it more fun watching our robot lawnmower or football? A clear majority in our household favoured the little robot and to be accurate, it was only my wife and I voting. But 100% of us found we spend more time watching the grass monster trundling around, rather than a bunch of folk who really should know better, chasing a ball.\u00a0 Our grass robot isn’t one of these posh ones with GPS control. Instead, it relies on bouncing off things, making random cuts everywhere and with a little bit of moisture, proves utterly unable to go in a straight line. In an attempt to make the cutting lines more regular, we placed a couple of rocks on the lawn only to see the thing wilfully avoid choose to avoid them and for 3 hours, the only part of the lawn which hadn’t been cut was a moat of grass around each boulder. Then it opted to switch things up, spending the next three hours trying to hit the rocks constantly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever software drives the little robot has a quite different understanding of the concept of “random” than we do. My wife challenged me to figure out software code to drive the machine, so obviously mucking around produced quite a simple series of commands which would effectively drive the machine exactly the way it drives. Essentially, a cascade of “Do This, if you can’t, then Do That, and if you can’t, “Try This”, each command effectively being an attempt to escape from the immediate situation. Or in plain English, think of a woman trying to park a car. Go right, go right some more, go even more right, go further right, try accelerating, go right again, try accelerating harder, go right again. Effectively, ending up with a theoretical machine rotating in a theoretical circle quite perfectly described our robots idea of hysterics. Unfortunately, software alone cannot magically produce a wire brush to clean the grooves in the wheels, clogged grass tending to produce little in the way of drive.<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, rather than assume a robot grass machine actually has a brain, it is best to assume a Human Overlord is watching the machines effort, ready and willing to sprint outside into light rain to clear the clogged wet grass from the driving wheels. In other words, relying on AI will always go wrong, without human supervision. There comes a point when software simply runs out of options and shuts down. Which is exactly what happens with our little robot, when it runs into an exceptionally large dog poo or sneaky rock!\u00a0 Perhaps a decent Laser will destroy obstacles but this type of thinking drifts into Terminator territory.<\/span><\/p>\n

We still prefer the concept of Artificial Intelligence only being real, if the software erects humanity to the level of being its creator. Until then, it’s only software running “If” algorithms. <\/span><\/p>\n

But then again, there is always ice cream. With Magnum Ice Cream Company launched on the markets, we’re REALLY not fans of overpriced Magnums, invariably selecting from the cheaper “Me Too” selection in the freezer at our local petrol station shop, Magnums are nice but, chocolate covered ice cream is equally nice and a Magnum never gives a “special” moment when eating it. This ridiculous concept of “special” may sound ridiculous but real chocolate junkies know what it really means. Sometimes you eat the perfect Bounty Bar, sometimes you eat the perfect “Whole Nut” and these delights tend keep the glutton on the correct path. But a Magnum is simply chocolate encrusted ice cream, so the company really should try harder.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s easy to ridicule this concept but anyone who drinks coffee understands it, doomed to a life of once again making “the perfect” coffee. Thankfully, with our in-house Bean to Cup machine making such an ideology possible every morning, it’d be nice if an Ice Cream company produced a “perfect” product.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then again, perhaps this is exactly the target every chocolate or ice cream company has spent their existence trying to attain. (Clue: nothing is nicer than letting a Galaxy square slowly melt in the mouth!)<\/span><\/p>\n

As for Magnum, while we’ve proven our credentials in the fanboy category, it pnly needs above 1300p to indicate the potential for share price growth to an initial 1,367p with our secondary, if bettered, at a future 1,499p. Above such a level gives a problem, indicating the 15 quid level shall probably prove a future “top”.<\/span><\/p>\n

If things intend go pear shaped, below 1232 looks like creating an issue for the future, potentially triggering reversals to an initial 1,177 with our secondary, when broken, at 1,032p and a potential bounce.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like a chocolate Magnum drip on a white shirt in a traffic jam, it’s a bit complex….<\/span><\/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
