Lol.

Someone's been watching too many of them ridiculous Hugo Boss aftershave adverts ;-)

The Bond-Aston cliche is getting tired and worn. The recent Bond movie is delayed, late, and the buzz is wearing thin.

Slashing prices for Aston cars in the US is a huge sign of underlying weakness for AML. Collapsing product price is never a good sign. A desperate fire-sale.

Fear and panic here spreading faster than Wuhan flu!

Huge debt, giant debt-interest burden, cashflow breakeven is years away, massive share dilution, another £1b placing on the horizon, more dilution, supply chain shortages after lockdown, Bond film delayed, nobody going to the cinema to watch it, crippling F1 costs in a dying sport, UK car sales collapsing -97%, big US market cratering, finance for buyers drying up, unemployment soaring, no hybrid or electric range in a post-petrol world, 7 bankruptcies in 107 years... the drumbeat of problems and threats is growing and relentless.

The close below 46p this week is a very bearish sign. Headed for the 30s as the next stop. Testing the all-time low of 35p. Some observers are forecasting a shareprice as low as 2p before 2021, due to debt, dilution, and outdated fossil cars in an electric world.

Outlook here is bleak.

AML today sits at the lowest close in its entire stockmarket history. It is at the 52-week low. And it is on the fast track to test the all-time intraday low of 35p. Very bearish signs.

There's a reason why Buffett grew his savings by +3,500,000% and turned $2m into $70b... He has patience, like no other.

The close here today, at 45.9p, is a very bearish signal. AML plunged -6% today, while the Dow is up +2%. AML shares have collapsed -98% from their IPO price in 19 months, one of the biggest destructions of shareholder wealth in global corporate history. The technical downtrend is extremely strong. AML has gone bankrupt 7 times in 107 years, and remains within reach of no.8. The UK car market has collapsed an astonishing -97% overnight. Expect another gigantic £1b placing here in the coming months, just to keep the bailiffs at bay and the lights on. The charts are now pointing to a push into the 30s as the next stop. Any major weakness in the Dow / FTSE (sell in May, go away), and the 20s will be here in a flash. AML is a disaster.

Lol. This "company" has been "looking" for gold for over 20 years, and has never dug or sold a single flake. Its price is zero.

It means a foreign company gets 15% of a £4 billion order book (£600 million), mostly paid for by UK taxpayers with UK tax money, for just £25 million, lol.

Shorters have increased their shorts in AML this week.

Ferrari struggling to buy parts.

Broker predicting another £1b placing here.

Nobody wants to catch a falling knife at these high levels.

Ready now for a push into the 30s. FTSE up, Dow up, oil up, building industry kicking back into life. The tea leaves look good for 50p.

As predicted, AML plunging below the 46p support line. If it closes below that level, it is a very bearish sign, and will signal a push into the the 30s.

With the cloud of a £1b placing, big dilution, huge F1 expenses, supply chain issues after lockdown, collapsing car markets, and no electric yet in a post-petrol world, the outlook is grim here. Anything above 10-15p looks expensive at the moment.

It is a boots-on-the-ground example of how Aston got in this mess. Scratch below the James Bond veneer, and it is a rat-nest of disorganized chaos, with zero management control of design, product, production, quality, marketing, distribution, aftercare, debt, or financing. Stuffing the channel with unsold cars before a dodgy IPO, followed by a hazy rights issue at giveaway prices, and more placings on the way.

What Aston show in public, and what they do behind the scenes, are two wildly different things. My mate worked on the Valkyrie -- it took over a year to design a windscreen wiper for it, was absolute chaos, with none of the various project teams talking to each other.

Yes, a broker's note recently said another £1b placing is inevitable for AML. It has huge debt to pay off in 2021-22.

The key level to watch here is 46p. Any close below that will be a very bearish sign and signal a push down into the 30s.

The market is spooked by a recent broker's note saying there will be a ~£1 billion placing, car sales across UK and Europe are collapsing -95% in recent weeks, unemployment is going thru the roof, Ferrari is struggling to source parts after lockdown, one broker has confirmed a 20p price target, and a simple "fair value" calculation comes in around 27p at the moment. Factoring in another big dilution, this could easily tumble to 10-15p.

Here comes 30p.

Fair value here is 50p.

People have been saying US debt is "too high" for almost 50 years... and every decade the Dow keeps on trending up. Times have changed. Debt is the new savings. We now live in the Debt Age. There are tens and tens of trillions of dollars of cheap cash swilling around out there. The US has huge potential to keep on borrowing trillions more for the next century. The Chinese account for only a small % of US total debt. Oil is set to double, back to $40 before the end of the year, and that will be more than enough to keep Saudi, Russia and US shale ticking along. Any whiff of a vaccine (or treatment) will send the Dow into hyperspace.

The Dow and FTSE are being supported by a big Fed rate cut and ~$6 trillion of free / cheap Fed cash. Trillions and trillions are pouring into stockmarket assets. More upside to come. If a credible vaccine is found in Q3 / Q4, as some bulls think, the Dow will be back above 30,000 in a flash.

The shorts here have all but disappeared, plunging from 8% of shares in Jan 2020 to 7% in Feb, 4% in Mar, and 1% today in Apr.

As predicted, SHI has bounced strongly off its double-bottom formed in April around the 15-20p range. Now up +80% from its trough in a month. Strong momentum building. Major trend reversal underway. The bulls are back in charge.

Marcap is sitting at just 0.1 times 2020 revenue (massively oversold). The price-to-book ratio today sits at just 0.3, compared with the building-industry average of 1.5. Huge upside potential in valuation.

The strong close here above 24p now points to 50p as the next stop.
