Trends And Targets

In full disclosure, we don’t “get” Games Workshop, their focus on Warhammer and associated products leaving us cold. In fairness, folk who develop a fascination with Dungeons & Dragons may as well come from another planet (in fact, they might!) as the human ability for immersion in a pretend environment simply seems a waste of time.  Over the years, we’ve come to appreciate our dislike for this sort of thing,  the focus being an attraction for folk who’ve not a fully developed imagination.  It’s similar to those who immerse themselves in model railways, slavishly creating amazing environments based on their own surroundings, something they can understand. Equally, the Warhammer people are given a fully developed playground, essentially only requiring them to paint and decorate it.

What brought this epiphany came from audio books, an easy way of consuming literature or science fiction, where your mind can be focussed elsewhere while a book is playing in a single ear. This method certainly works for this writer but the abhorrent “read by a full cast” offerings from Audible are avoided. The reason is simple, a full cast reading a book utterly submerges the readers normal ability to use their imagination when reading a book. Instead, the “full cast” concept steals a key element from the pleasure of reading.

However, we certainly awarded ourselves a pat on the back from our previous review of Games Workshop. We’d proposed a target level just over £22 and the share price obliged. Unfortunately, it has failed to close above our 22,128p target, paying a deadly price in the months since. The situation now exists where some trouble may be ahead.

From an immediate perspective, it seems trades below 17,060 should trigger reversal to an initial 16.800p. Our longer term secondary, if broken, calculates with a bottom down at an eventual 14,972p and a potential rebound. We have reasons to be reticent about price reversals on the current cycle, suspecting the market intends some surprise gains.

Unfortunately, the share price needs exceed 18,600p to suggest gains are about to kick off, giving an initial target around 22,239p with our secondary, if beaten, at 23,994p. Achieving such target levels shall be regarded as significant, allowing us to speculate a long term influence is being exerted from 26,816p!

Who knows, perhaps there’s something to Warhammer?

As we’d hoped, the Spanish Grand Prix indeed provided an entertaining race and the new(ish) guy – Antonelli- delivered a race which must make Verstappen realise he’ll never be one of the “greats”, unable to equal or beat the Schumacher & Hamilton count of victories.  Perversely, this is liable to produce more entertainment in future races as Verstappen rarely performs fairly when under pressure.  But Barclays bank shares are certainly showing considerable cool, despite the pressure of its Blue downtrend since 2007, a trend line which has no business in effecting share prices, aside from the fact it clearly is.

The most recent three weeks has seen Barclays share price adhere to the Blue line as if it were important! This is proving a little confusing as the chart extract below highlights.

This 19 year trend line shuffle is a bit mad but, if we apply our conventional criteria, it’s apparently the share were future weakness below 484p now risks triggering reversal to an initial 475p with our secondary, if broken, a potential bottom of 453p. Hopefully achieving such a level shall also prove capable of generating a bounce.

But on a brighter note, above 500p should now trigger gains to an initial 512p with our secondary, if exceeded, calculating at a future 525p and almost certain hesitation. Things shall only become exciting in the event the share closes above 525p, strongly suggesting a breakaway from “safe” harbour of the Blue trend line has commenced as a future ambition at 564p has commenced.

Many thanks for taking the time to read this and good luck for today. Please feel free to mention us after something goes right!

From a personal perspective, the only thing having a worse week than the FTSE has been this writer. On Monday, things started to go a bit weird, a recent diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes meaning the Pharmacist at our local GP surgery got to stab me, determined I’d be comfortable self administering the diabetes and fat bloke drug called Ozempic. While I’ve lost 2.5kg since Monday, the reason was probably due to Tuesdays Dentist appointment. A root canal treatment went wrong, when a hairline fracture in the tooth split wide open. Three teeth were removed and stitches required, creating a situation where eating has not been high on the priorities list.  But creamy mushroom soup has served the job for dinner and breakfast, along with taking far too many Ibuprofen for the pain. But keen to prove nothing was too stupid, a visit to our local Chiropodist took place on Thursday, a “slightly” ingrown big toenail needing dealt with. This twenty minutes of hell left me sitting quietly in my car, waiting ’till calm restored itself before driving home.

A lesson was learned, in future only the services of one professional “ist” shall be engaged per week as all these people seem determined to inflict pain.

As mentioned, the FTSE has been experiencing a similar friend, probably at the hands of Analysts and Politicianists. One worry for next week comes from the Economists who are doubtless advising central banks to increase interest rates, even though the reductions experienced by the UK lagged behind everywhere else. For instance, Europe and NZ recently increased their rates to 2.75%, still substantially below the UK’s current 3.75% which is damaging the entire country. The rate decision is at noon next Thursday.

Things are not looking great for the FTSE on Friday, movement below 10,592 looking capable of triggering reversal to an initial 10,555 points. Should such a level break, our longer term secondary calculates down at 10,515 and perhaps a bounce. But overall, the market is already looking dangerously attracted to a future bottom at 10,413 points.

However, there is a faint light shining in the misery of darkness. For the FTSE, should the index clamber above 10,673 points, we can hope for gains to an initial 10,699 points with our secondary, if exceeded, at 10,777 points and an urgent need to revisit our tea leaves.

On a brighter note, it’s the usually entertaining Spanish Grand Prix this weekend and hopefully solid food shall be on our menu. Have a good weekend.

Many thanks for taking the time to read this and good luck for today. Please feel free to mention us after something goes right!

We’ve had a couple of experiences with Savills, each forcing us to conclude the Estate Agency tend be committed to doing the best for their client, rather than simply trying to get a property off their books and move onto the next thing. \Our first Savills car crash happened back in 2009, when everything in the world was going to heck and we thought we’d spotted an amazing property which could be snatched up for a song. There was a property listed at offers over  £250,000, at a time when – for example – you could buy Bank of Scotland shares with chocolate coins. As the bank had declined to 9p or so, we felt the hysterical media was creating panic everywhere, suspecting we could take advantage of the awful market.

To be fair, very few folk were buying property in 2009, so we were pretty certain a bargain could be had. After offering £150,000 for the property without the need to get a mortgage, the seller took around a week before caving, accepting our offer and letting our lawyer know. We literally couldn’t believe our luck, the place being incredibly attractive with 5 bedrooms, a couple of kitchens, and a large paddock which bordered a river. Also, private parking for around 10 cars, along with a turning circle made it useful. The only thing the place lacked was a large garage. And for 24 hours it was ours, until the next day. Our Lawyer called to advise the acceptance had been withdrawn on advice from the Estate Agent. She felt, while a legal squabble was possible, it could take years without a certain outcome and thus, we’d be best adjusting our offer or finding somewhere else. Thankfully, we did, our current tiny little house enjoying quite a bit of land, along with the front leading down to the sea shore. And when floods hit back in the 2001 storms, the house we missed was learning to swim, the river completely flooding the place. Meanwhile, we’ve a seashore, a waterfall, a cliff, and a deciduous forest, all of which we somehow cope with. But we were left impressed by Savills and their protection of their clients interests, even though we were foiled in “stealing” a property.

More recently – words are being chosen with care – a property appears on the Savills lists, our daughter falling completely in love with the place. She’d passed the screening from Savills, was allowed to sail across to the property, decided it represented the rest of her life. She made a 7 figure offer, the owner apparently happy at the prospect of a 6 figure gain above the asking price. We visited the place, dud the tour, and immediately knew it would be a mistake buy for our daughter, the annual costs of such a location being horrific. However, our offer below the £1 Million threshold was passed to the Estate Agents client and immediately rejected. And this is where it all fell apart, a surprise offer of above £2 Million coming from a New York buyer, who shall doubtless have fun trying to make the place suitable for human habitation.

To explain, a fortune had been expended building a substantial house on this remote piece of land but no consideration had been given to a tiny little issue, “what happens where you dock your boat and want to carry a big outer of toiler paper to the house? A half mile uphill walk awaits, following a narrow deer track. What is needed was gravel tracks for a small 4 wheeler, none of which exist on the land. But with winter winds exceeding regular 60mph blasts, along with an unfair ratio of rain, the place is exactly why folk need be careful about property on the west of Scotland.  It would be true to say, the quieter an area is, the worse the weather is liable to be. But our daughter still grumbles about ‘missing’ her dream property, blissfully unaware of the real costs involved in owning a “nice place” in Argyll. am area of Scotland which can be hell for around 10 months of the year, either blessed with foul weather or biting insects. Either May or June can be capable of leaving tourists alive.

But in summary, Savills appear to have the interests of their clients at the forefront.

Will Savills share price manage to impress us?

Currently below 800 looks capable of triggering reversal to 652p Our secondary is at an extremely unlikely 274p.

Alternately, above 1,084 looks like triggering share price gains to an initial 1,211 with our secondary, if beaten, at 1,422o sometime in the future.

We think Savills should be allowed some positive thoughts for the future.

Risk Warning & Notice to Investors

Buying, selling and investing in shares is not without risk. Market and company movement will affect your performance and you may get back less than you invest. Neither Trends and Targets Ltd, Shareprice, or Interactive Investor will be responsible for any losses that may be incurred as a result of following a trading idea.

A common theme running through any reports we provide on Crude Oil has been a firm belief the product price is being manipulated. To judge from movements, it feels very like the USA and Iran must be colluding in taking turns to provoke market “crisis”, the driving force always being the start of any trend which risks returning the price of the product to sensible levels. We can be thankful repeated UK Government “initiatives” to diminish North Sea activity in their hunt for Green credentials has ensured the UK has taken a very minor role in the Straits of Hormuz, due to the price of Crude Oil currently providing very little windfall profit to the UK.

Not since UK Chancellor Gordon Brown sold the UK’s Gold Reserves at the bottom of the market, has it been so apparent the Government appears to forget it’s in position for the benefit of the country, rather than adherence to political dogma. We obviously dislike the manual control of oil prices but concede it makes sense for the USA to work in the USA’s interests. Such a common sense approach appears absent from the UK.

Price movements against Brent Crude, since April of this year, in normal circumstances would have strong indicated an imminent return for Brent back to its historically sane price level around $61. Instead, on each occasion the market felt like it was weakening, someone would fire missiles or someone would drop some bombs, waking the media up who oblige with their standard “The Sky is Falling ” headless chicken mode.  It does remain the case where conventional Big Picture logic still allows for market reversals but we’ve about lost confidence this shall happen.

At present, we can calculate an issue at the $100 level. Movement above such a point risks triggering price gains to an initial 119 dollars with our secondary, if bettered, at a painful sounding 129 dollars. This secondary ambition unfortunately makes some visual sense, due to the previous market high when the Ukraine thing kicked off.

If there is to be any form of reversal, we can work out below 91 dollars could now be an issue, capable of triggering an oil drip down to an initial 75 dollars with our secondary, if broken, at $61 and a return to the median price level experienced since 2012.

This certainly creates a situation where $91 represents a reasonable Stop Loss point, if our $100 trigger is activated.

Risk Warning & Notice to Investors

Buying, selling and investing in shares is not without risk. Market and company movement will affect your performance and you may get back less than you invest. Neither Trends and Targets Ltd, Shareprice, or Interactive Investor will be responsible for any losses that may be incurred as a result of following a trading idea.

PureTech represent a fairly apt focus for discussion, following a flurry of visits to our local GP’s in-house vampire, a lovely lady called Fiona who regards it as her life work to extract blood from the innocent. To be honest, Fiona is a superb practice nurse (who sometimes reads my daily articles!) and can wield a needle with greater delicacy than the nurses across at the Haematology Unit. From the glint in their eyes, patients are left with the feeling they’d rather be holding a chainsaw. But Fiona is capable of filling 5 test tubes of blood, while the patient still has eyes tightly shut, expecting an imminent stab.

The problem, as happens for folk of a certain age and weight, is Type 2 Diabetes. First diagnosed a few years ago, my bloodwork had retreated to sane levels and I’d been able to stop the dreadful Diabetes medication. If offered Metformin by a GP, run, screaming. It can have terrible effects on patients toilet regimes and is probably sponsored by an underwear manufacturer. Of course, some folk have no side effects! But with the end of 30 months of chemotherapy, Fiona The Nurse was itching to stab me, demanding another look at my Type2 Diabetes bloodwork as, in her biased opinion, I’d put on weight. Quite how she spotted a 7 kilo gain defeats but apparently my body had returned to its “a wee fat bloke” default setting, boasting 101 kilos on her scales.

After talking things over with my wife, Nurse Fiona was informed  the risks of Type 2 Diabetes were preferable to taking Metformin, probably the first time a prescribed drug was being refused. She arranged a meeting with the practice Pharmacist, someone I didn’t know existed. The guy listened to my Metformin anecdotes, discretely going into the loo with a full change of clothes and a black bin-bag, running into the bushes at a nature reserve, desperate to avoid eye contact with a bunch of children on mountain bikes navigating the usually deserted track, and of course, that time the “dog car” was changed for something with leather seats. This particular drug became a “quality of life” issue, along with the source of my funny stories about a fictional dog walking friend.

The Pharmacist was sympathetic, saying he’d heard about this sort of thing and pointing out I should have complained to the doctor. Maybe it’s a man thing but admitting you couldn’t risk going out in public wasn’t a welcome conversation, no matter what else was happening. After all, one has a certain self image to maintain. along with a mental voice from “Steve Wrights Old Woman” saying “mustn’t cause a fuss”…

And thus, a new drug called Ozempic was prescribed. It’s apparently also a popular weight loss drug, self administered weekly. It ticked all the boxes until Monday 7th September, when the prescription had been collected and there was the discovery I was expected to inject the stuff myself, into myself. While the needle is tiny, the process generated a bit of a scream, my wife inspecting the syringe thing and announced I’d missed, absolutely nothing had entered my body. She got that “I wish this was a chainsaw” glint in her eyes, before stabbing me. In what was a painless process. She has agreed to stab me weekly, though promises not to enjoy it.

And this brings us to PureTech Health, a company claiming to have an orally administered weight loss solution which will – from a personal perspective – successfully compete with Ozempic, though it appears the magic from PureTech isn’t intended for diabetes, just for fat people! In our book, any initiative which does not involve injections deserves extremely positive attention.

PureTech boast a share price which has been waffling around since breaking the Closing Price Downtrend Since 2021, the share price carefully respecting this historical downtrend and giving building hope for the future. Perhaps their Half Year price announcement on 22nd September is supposed to do to the share price something similar to my imaginary Ozempic needle, causing a sharp surge upward?

If we’re right – and we expect to be – above just 129 should bring a sharp surge to an initial 133p with our secondary, if bettered, at a comfortable 140.5p. This secondary target level is liable to prove important, launching the share price into a zone where a long term third level ambition of 162p makes some sense. Visually, this is our expectation.

Should things decide to go wrong, below 113 should apparently trigger reversals to an initial 109p with our secondary, if broken, at 102p. And perhaps a solid bounce. Hopefully our Type 2 Diabetes regime doesn’t discover such an issue as a break below 93 kilos will be quite welcome. Hopefully this does something to the diabetes blood results but stopping being a “wee far bloke” will be a real reward.

Neither Trends and Targets Ltd, Shareprice, or Interactive Investor will be responsible for any losses that may be incurred as a result of following a trading idea.

Italy and Formula1 produced a welcome surprise, a race which was actually entertaining. The bloke doing the Sky Sport commentary sounded, by Lap 14, that he’d self destruct by Lap 15 such was the level of excitement. Hopefully he was wearing some sort of nappy, delivering enthusiasm at levels not heard since Murray Walker. Of course, the big difference between the pair was Murray Walker had the ability to make an awful Monaco race sound interesting, whereas the Sky commentators tone always reflect the race, perfectly capable of giving a Monotone Monte Carlo report while they count the minutes until the procession is all over.

Next week, it’s Spain and another F1 race capable of producing mixed entertainment. Historically, Ferrari will provide a surprise while the team attempt to atone for their usual dismal performance in front of their home crowd. And better still, we expect friends to visit so we can indulge in Paella in honour of Spanish cuisine.

We remain about as excited as that Formula1 commentator over the possibilities for Lloyds share price!

When we previously reviewed the share, we optimistically proclaimed the share price needed to CLOSE below 108p to spoil our optimism for the future. Something extremely curious is taking place with their share price as we’ve now got a clutter of calculations, all pointing to the same price level as a target. The first set of arguments dates back to 2018, our second set dates from the start of this year, and the third series of calculations growing from price movements since our previous analysis just three weeks ago. Generally speaking, when this sort of thing occurs, it becomes pretty certain a share price is intended to reach the target level and for Lloyds Banking Group, we’re now looking at a future target of 123p. From a near term perspective, above 113p should now trigger a lift to the 123p level.

Importantly, we also need now mention closure above 123p should next trigger an interesting race to 151p.

Our converse scenario is a bit worrying, giving the potential for a forced slow down in the shares optimistic future. Below 108p now risks a visit to an initial 103p with our secondary, if broken, at a “bottom” of a less likely 100p.

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

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.

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.
