Dont know what to expect tomorrow, suppose it will all depend how the Japs react to the DOW overnight.

I did take a long on in ITM as its more or less near its support line and had a big fall about 18% during the day, shame I didnt short it yesterday. Anyhow I will see how it goes but get shot if it doesnt trend as per the last couple or months or so.

Its been a very big winner for me and helped me cushion my trader folio.

CWR CERES POWER

The broker note from Liberum today..........

Ceres Power target price hiked as Liberum says fuel cell tech could be ‘game changer’ for electrolysis

The broker said the firm’s plans to develop an electrolysis cell capability “make a lot of sense” as it was an area where “durable, low cost and high efficiency cells offer key advantages”

Ceres Power Holdings PLC (LON:CWR) has had its target price hiked to 540p from 300p by analysts at Liberum as the broker said the company’s fuel cell technology could be a ‘game changer’ for electrolysis power generation.

The broker, which rates Ceres at ‘buy’, said the AIM-listed firm’s plans to develop an electrolysis cell capability “make a lot of sense” as it was an area where “durable, low cost and high efficiency cells offer key advantages”.

READ: Ceres Power broker hikes valuation; likens it to another UK technology success story
“Only two private companies, Sunfire (Germany) and Haldor Topsor (Baillie Gifford) are active currently and neither has Ceres Generation 3 technology which in fuel cells contributes to greater stack durability and strength and a lower materials bill. Currently [solid oxide electrolysers] are relatively high cost and have poor reliability so Ceres technology could be a game changer”, Peel Hunt said.

Analysts also highlighted that the firm had “strong commercial backing” for its fuel cell technology and predicted that it will “have over £100mln net cash by year end” thanks to investments from strategic investors including Chinese bus maker Weichai and German engineering giant Bosch.

“The fact that Ceres has two license partners now as major strategic investors does not guarantee commercial success but suggests strong commercial backing”, Liberum said.

CMCX CMC Markets turned blue.

Peel Hunt upgrades ‘buoyant’ CMC Markets

Peel Hunt has upgraded CMC Markets (CMC) as trading conditions continue to buoy the spread betting platform.

Analyst Stuart Duncan upgraded his recommendation from ‘add’ to ‘buy’ and increased the target price from 180p to 210p. The shares rose 2.6% to 180.1p yesterday.

‘Buoyant trading conditions are clearly benefiting CMC, as evidenced by a fourth quarter [profit] upgrade, this time by 31%,’ he said.

‘With strong cash generation, and the longer-term ability to monetise the platform through further business-to-business relationships, we see further upside in the shares.’

Dear Mick

Buying wonderful businesses that are benefiting from multiple secular growth trends, at attractive prices is part & parcel of successful long term investing. The problem as always, is finding these rare situations, and then having the stomach to step in, irrespective of the broader macro concerns doing the rounds.

We think Mpac falls into this camp. Today releasing “excellent” 2019 revenues, adjusted EBIT and EPS that were in line with expectations at £88.8m (+52%, +24% LFL), £7.7m (margin 8.7%) and 39.5p respectively. The dividend was also reinstated to 1.5p (7.6p), reflecting good H2 cashflows and closing net funds of £18.0m (vs £9.6m June’19), equivalent to 89p/share.

Better still, after strong pipeline conversion in H2, forward visibility is robust with the backlog closing Dec’19 at £52.2m (vs £53.1m LY) - split across a wide customer base, and skewed towards higher margin healthcare orders.

In terms of the Coronavirus, the Board believe the outbreak shouldn’t materially impact future profits. The vast majority of Mpac’s top line growth is coming from Healthcare (74%) within the US (58%). Whilst it’s relatively modest supply-chain/demand exposure within AsiaPac (8% 2019 turnover) is manageable.

Going forward, we’ve nudged up our 2020 EBIT to £7.7m (2.7%) on the back of the slightly better out-turn, and maintained both the revenue at £95.5m & 350p/share valuation.

GRG Greggs tie up with ASDA

This week, the supermarket also announced a partnership with pastry chain Greggs.

Asda is set to launch Greggs counters in five of its branches across the UK, including Boldon, Corby, Huyton, Wigan and Eastlands.

GRG Greggs.........time for a trade!!!!!!!!!report on tuesday. Im already in having bought when it just nudged above the 2300 consolidation mark.

Note a golden cross on the MAs on the chart 10 days over 50 days.

From last trading update......

"Given the strength of trading in the latter part of 2019 the Board now expects that full year underlying profit before tax, after the cost of the special payment to employees, will be slightly higher than our previous expectations when we report our preliminary results for 2019 on 3 March 2020."

Im expecting them to outperform given the new vegy beef wraps.

GRG Greggs.......starting to break away from consolidation on the chart. Target former top. Should get news on the new vegan wraps.
