#Brent #SP500  When we reviewed Lloyds three weeks ago, we were optimistic about our scenario for a rise toward something we described as “a confident looking 116.7p”. It’s nearly there, sufficiently close we’re just about lost interest in such a target level, better ambitions now making themselves known for the longer term.  From a near term perspective, it appears movement above just 115.4p should still attempt a visit to 116.7p but, due to the strength of recent price changes, we suspect a new game in underway.

Obviously, world events risk intruding (as is always the case) but from our perspective, we regard Lloyds share price as successfully moving into Big Picture territory with the result, now above 115.4p calculates with the potential of a lift to an initial 123p with our longer term secondary, if beaten, at a future 154p. There was be pretty big steps on a path which works out a distant attraction is now comes from a stonking 310p. Perhaps ditching their Halifax brand shall become a real turning point for the future. My wife, a long term Halifax customer, recently received a new Debit Card and instead of the expected Lloyds branding, she discovered she’s now a loyal Bank of Scotland customer, making us suspect Lloyds intend remain with a negligible footprint in Scotland.

All things considered, with Lloyds share price looking like substantial growth is possible, when this is combined with the level of Dividend on offer from the company, it’s starting to look like Lloyds may provide a long term investment.

If things intend go wrong, share price closure below 109p would ring immediate alarm bells, opening the gates for reversal to an initial 88p with our secondary, if broken, at 79p and a fairly strong argument for a bounce. While being optimistic for a UK retail bank goes against our instincts, we’ve now little choice but to apply a positive spin for Lloyds. Hopefully the Black Horse is finally starting to run.

*** End of “Updated Today” comments on shares

#FTSE #Robot There are indications something positive wants to happen with the FTSE. The extraordinary day experienced on Thursday has almost galvanised the UK market and now, above 10,723 points should kick open the door of a brave new world for the index. At time of writing, FTSE futures look quite convincing at 10,695 points, 43 points above the level at which the market closed Thursday, an impressive 1.67% upward. This are not getting quite interesting from a near term perspective but we’d prefer sprinkle some sanity on our outpouring of hope.

After all, this is the FTSE we’re talking about, not our Garden Robot which is proving pretty reliable in patrolling the lawn and has displaced a little red tractor! We even took a video: The Robot Mower. (video (13 seconds)) opens in a new window.

From a near term perspective, above 10.723 points is supposed to trigger gains toward an utterly useless 10,740 points. If triggered, the tightest stop loss point looks like 10,660 points. There’s another reason why this is worth mentioning as our secondary target, if this useless initial 10,740 points is bettered, calculates at a slightly more useful 10,882 points. Rather more importantly though, this would take the index into a zone where a longer term 11,319 points calculates as a viable longer term ambition.

Of course, we’re approaching a Silverstone Formula1 weekend, a race which home champion Louis Hamilton is supposed to win. After all, with a prior 9 wins at the circuit, they should just award him the place without the annoying hindrance of an actual race spoiling what looks like a fairly good weekend.

Unfortunately, the FTSE, like Mr Hamilton, doesn’t need do much to foul things up. Below 10,470 points would be troubling, risking triggering reversals down to an initial 10,376 points with our less likely secondary, if broken, calculating down at 10,265 points.

We do suspect, if an effort is made to keep the UK marching in place, 10.376 will provide a reasonable rebound level…

Have a good weekend and enjoy the race. Hopefully it rains on the circuit, giving drivers the chance to display their competence.

#Gold #JAPAN Here in Argyll. we generally anticipate monsoon conditions during the first week of August. This year, it appears July is spicing things up, strong winds and torrential non stop rain suggesting the annual monsoon has arrived a month early. All things considered, it’s perhaps not such a bad thing as the weeks following the monsoon generally enjoy pretty mild weather, almost as if we’ve been given our ration of rain for the autumn months and can relish doing battle with lawns which just will not stop growing.

Therefore, if you are considering a break in Argyll or Scotlands Wets coast, August and September now look perfectly safe, ideal times to plan a vacation weekend without bringing clothing for all four seasons.

And if you believe that, you’ll believe anything, even headlines about “Cheap” shares!

One of our favourite occasions for gritting teeth came when a client emailed asking about CMC Markets, telling us a popular online resource is referring to them – at 650p – as “So Cheap”. This is a term we instantly dislike, two words which should warn the reader the person who created “the analysis” has approached their task with an in-built bias. This sort of thing usually leaves investors walking funny… There’s no such thing as a “cheap” share and neither is there an “expensive” share. The only thing which is real is the share price!

And so, by which standards dare we judge FTSE 250 Trading and Investing platform CMC Markets current share price as “dirt cheap” and “tremendous value”, according to one commentator?  We could quickly jump back to our report on 20th May which proposed a target of 495p, suggesting above such a level would require us to revisit things.  On this subject, they’ve just forced our hand, gapping the share UP from 458p to 540p, neatly decapitating our upper level.

We’ve an immediate problem here, while despising clickbait headlines, it appears the share price may indeed be in positive territory. Currently, above just 651p looks capable of triggering gains to an initial 764p. Our longer term secondary calculates at a future 927p, a truly impressive rise from present price levels. The share needs break Red on the chart, currently around 442p.

In the event the price actually falls below an unlikely 442p, a visit down to an initial 245 calculates as possible with our secondary, if broken, at just 80p. Absolutely nothing – from a chart perspective – suggests this reversal scenario is probable. For now, it looks like the folk “ramping” the share might actually have a point, a pleasant change.

*** End of “Updated Today” comments on shares.

#Brent #DOW When shares go ‘ex-div’, the adjustment to the share price is known well in advance. In the case of Kingfisher, expected to disburse around 12p per share to investors on Friday of this week, we’re curious – as always – whether the price shall rise by the dividend value (4.3%)  prior to the ex-div cut-off or, has the 12p per share already been factored in? There has certainly already been confusion with their share price and it looks unlikely the share shall provide a “safe” trade, thinking it will be possible to scoop up a handful at the 290p level, then bin them on Thursday after a 12p rise in the knowledge the share price shall open on Friday down by 12p.

It’s a dangerous game to play, especially if the market has already decided the value of the dividend is “factored in” to the share price. What’s a bit off comes from movements this year, there already being an indication weakness below 270p risks triggering reversal to 247p with our secondary, if broken, at a bottom of 204p. Being caught in a Dividend trap could prove an expensive error as the concept of a visit to 204p makes rather a lot of visual sense on the chart below. Any break below the Red Closing Price uptrend risks giving traders a spanking. Though if the 204p level makes an appearance, there’s a fairly confident argument suggesting it will make a great level from which to anticipate a bounce.

Our alternate scenario makes some more sense as, if the market opts to introduce gains, anything which drags Kingfisher above 295p is liable to become especially interesting. If such a level is bettered, while the market shall reduce the share value by around 12p the next day,  it will have triggered impressive longer term potentials, giving a future ambition of an initial 355p with our secondary, if beaten, at a distant 404p. We’d be optimistic, were it not for the little problem of B&Q?

The company appear to be “price gouging”, charging quite inappropriately above fair prices, Amazon now proving a reliable price check site or, to be ridiculous, dropping into the bowels of Temu to validate many B&Q prices. The godsend of Google “image search” has proven devastating for B&Q, while unfortunately spoiling the “Day Out” feel of catching a ferry across to the mainland for the thrill of a shopping expedition to the DIY store. We’re not talking Penny Pinching here, just a refusal to pay double+ the cost for identical  items which can be got substantially cheaply elsewhere. A big water storage butte at 80 quid or why not get a couple of Temu ones for 26 quid. Of course, we don’t need store water here in Argyll but recently decided to get some big containers which will stabilise the flow of water to a generator, rather than risk massive variations of water pressure from the pool 10 vertical metres above the cliff. Before Lockdown in 2020, this sort of project could generally be fulfilled with a trip to our once favourite DIY entity but nowadays, it’s a big nope. And anyway, we’re not intending this years hydro-electric project to be washed away!

This certainly makes us wonder whether Kingfisher shall experience some reduction of income as we can’t be the only folk who think of B&Q as being like a hungry chick, just wanting fed and not caring about anything else. But then again, Screwfix, another of Kingfishers entities, still tries relatively hard to cater to their customer base.

*** End of “Updated Today” comments on shares

#FTSE #WallSt One of our “things” is to watch, carefully, is for a share price reacting to a trend. In the case of Prudence, there’s no doubt the Blue downtrend since 2018 has assumed some importance to the share price. It is currently surfing the trend, creating a mildly scary image. But it is worth pausing to consider how the price ended in this situation. It dropped below the trend at 964p, then achieved some slight recovery above the trend a few days later and has paused. Usually (and in this instance)., some confidence can be taken with a price trading above the level of the trend break. In other words, the opposite of a Red Flag…

 If we assume confidence for Prudential, a share price next above just 1,020p (the high following the trend break)  should trigger near term gains to an initial 1,096p with our secondary, if bettered, at a pretty useful looking 1,203p. This secondary becomes a pretty big deal, demanding the share price close above 1,203p to open a long term route toward the 14 quid level.

We are optimistic for gains.

However, if things intend go wrong,  the price only needs below 962p to cause problems, opening a scenario where reversal to an initial 837 looks possible with our secondary, if broken, down at 734p and hopefully a price rebound. Visually,. this makes little sense.

Prudential is looking relatively hopeful for the future, though crossing fingers may not be the worst strategy.

*** End of “Updated Today” comments on shares

A horror story is slowly unfolding in our home. With our dedicated office, four screens designated to monitor markets and prices, supported by a fridge and my magical ‘bean to cup’ machine, it couldn’t be better. So my wife decided to throw a spanner in the works, deciding to work from home for the next few months. She’s employed by a corporate entity and suddenly we’ve to host another pair of monitors, a Cisco box, and associated network security protocols.  She also snaffled our guest bedroom as her lair, occasionally visiting my office to grab a coffee or complain about the toilet seat being up. Of course, with the good weather, she can now be found outside on the patio, a wireless headset, a 20 metre network extension cable and laptop grabbing the shade and doubtless making her staff and colleagues jealous when they see the view over her shoulder. Doubtless our Argyll weather shall introduce some stark reality into the situation and hopefully she remembers to let her Microsoft Teams video link to display the August monsoon.

The “horror story” evolving comes from some entrenched habits from myself, whether it relates to the “toilet seat”, hoovering the lounge, strimming the lawn edges, .running the dishwasher, or picking up a guitar for an obligatory hour plus of practice. The issue my wife forgets is I’m always constantly monitoring the markets, thinking about how some shares are heading, running futures scenarios, or considering whatever headline article I’ll write during the night, and everything else is simply filling a gap between my next market test. Often, I’ll pick up on volumes against a share, run the numbers, decide it’s a waste of time. Sometimes during the trading day, I shall pick up something useful and only if it proves worthwhile, shall it make its way into a headline feature. Perhaps the next 11 weeks will avoid being a horror story but there’s a scary difference between a 24 hour day and a 9 to 5 day.

This, obviously, has little to do with Natwest but we must admit to a fair degree of optimism for the future. When we previously reviewed the share 3 weeks ago, we mentioned the possibility of closure above 631p dumping the share price into happy territory.. This is now the case, so we’re doomed to suggest movement next above 667p should next attack an initial 688p with our secondary, if exceeded, at 740p. Or as they call it in the retail banking world, happy days ahead…

Our alternat4e scenario requires the share to drift below 545 to break Red, threatening a visit to an initial 543 with our secondary, if broken, a bottom around 501p hopefully.

For now, we’re a little optimistic. Hopefully they don’t appopint the outgoing UK PM to their board.

Most houses have the “goto” person, who’s called with a problem wasp, bee, spider (especially spiders), or once even a tiny little bat. Routinely, a pint glass and a bit of hard cardboard, reside on a bookshelf, ready to spring into action to trap whatever is terrorising my wife, daughter, or grand-daughters. Despite always explaining the savage insect is more scared of them, doing the hero walk out the patio doors with a captive spider is always quite pleasing. A few moments ago, karma went full circle, a big brown moth trying to break the sound barrier while indulging in crazy flying through the office, a one point managing to flap under my reading glasses.

So, like all macho here types, I ran hysterically from the office, slamming the door and turning to face my wife. In a fair world, she’d have gone into the office and caught the big brown manic moth. Instead, she opened the door a crack and emptied the best part of a can of fly spray into it. After an hour or so, entering the office revealed a very dead moth on my office seat, along with the foul residual scent of insect killer. Apparently, should any sarcasm be used in the future about spiders, the subject of this moth shall surface…

To be blunt, the above tale is more interesting that the FTSE. It’s been interesting to note the eventual frustration of analysts throughout the USA and Europe, the penny finally dropping nothing has been happening since April. However, there are now signs some confidence is entering the market place with many shares starting to display a “slightly” elevated heartbeat. Perhaps, the the temperature, the market is finally about to head up and do something useful. Though, to be fair, driving with the dashboard claiming 31c, the roof down, and air-con at full blast, the experience was a little bit decadent. But great, especially as the Magnum ice cream didn’t melt. It reminded of a similar day, driving off the Glenelg ferry to Skye in a rare TVR S3000 2+2 hardtop, turning on the air-con and realising the white stuff pouring out the vents was snow. Eventually the snow stopped and the TVR settled down to issue cool air. We obviously lost the exhaust system shortly afterward, the single track road proving (once again) beyond TVR’s design capability. In fact Skye was to eventually eat TWO exhaust systems from my addiction to a dreadful make of car.

As for the market, it’s apparently the case where we should anticipate movement above 10576 should trigger market recovery to an initial 10,696 points. Our secondary for the longer term (ie; next week) 10,882 points. This is assuming the market behaves according to our rules, a scenario which presents a stop loss level at 10383 points, wide but a reasonable risk/reward calculation.

If things intend go horribly wrong, below 10383 risks promoting trouble, calculating with an initial 10266 points with our secondary, if broken, at 10104 points.

Have a good weekend, the Austrian Grand Prix usually capable of a good race. But Austrian cuisine can be a little difficult!
