Welcome onboard the take-off that took place back in July kicked off by a 'squeeze' current holding pattern that is possibly forming an ascending flag on below-average volume but above the Fib 0.618 also notice the 14 weeks of higher 'body' lows.

Anyone thinking of shorting seriously has to rethink based on recent developments and industry analysis, here are some possibilities:

1. Emirates A350 Freighter: Emirates has been in talks with Airbus and Boeing for freighter aircraft, and the A350F is a strong contender. Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines are the sole engine option for the A350F, making it a potential big order for Rolls-Royce.

2. Boeing 787 Dreamliner: While Boeing faces production issues, airlines like United Airlines and Air Canada have expressed interest in additional 787s. The Rolls-Royce Trent 1000TEN is a popular choice for the 787, and securing a significant order from a major airline could be a big win.

3. Airbus A5X Widebody: Airbus is considering launching a new widebody aircraft, potentially the A5X, to compete with the Boeing 787 and A350. If Rolls-Royce secures the engine contract for the A5X, it could lead to a major order in the future.

4. Military Engine Programs: Rolls-Royce is involved in various military engine programs, including the EJ200 for the Eurofighter Typhoon and the F135 for the F-35 fighter jet. Securing new contracts or follow-on orders for these programs could be considered big orders.

5. MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) Services: While not exactly a "new" order, increased demand for Rolls-Royce MRO services due to rising air travel could be interpreted as a big positive for the company.

Robdon - I think you hit the nail on the head it's going to be a zigzag SP move towards BOTH the outside the current trajectory of 300 +/- 5 % I,e below 285 bearish and above 315 bullish in the end may the trend be your friend.

Swan01 I became an early investor in Rolls-Royce (RR) upon its privatization in April 1987. Recognizing the immense potential of its core business then, I sought a long-term investment comparable to a reliable pension provider. My conviction in RR has remained steady despite market turbulence over the years. This resilience stems from not only my confidence in its core aerospace business but also my belief in the long-term prospects of its nuclear technology endeavours. As always, I strongly encourage everyone to strictly conduct their thorough research and invest according to their convictions. Good luck to all investors.

Robdon I agree however the longer the consolidation in the Bull Flag the larger the next potential measured move becomes 😉

Reppyr agrees 100% reputation disaster for Boeing this can only lead to Airbus taking the front stage while Boeing deals with its building legacy issues.

NTC The flight towards your first target of 3.50 takes off once the SP clears 3.15 outside the current consolidating pattern it started from December 11 a breakout then a prediction of 350-360 p is on the horizon - The current weekly average true range is about 15p so only looking for 3 x ATR to hit the target 3.50 based on 305+45 - On the other hand if you measure the length of the Flag Pole then the target price is nearer 3.90 - Time to go salmon fishing and hopefully get some ready smoked for serving by Feb 2025

Robdon maybe we could see a favourable upthrust by the end of this week when the PCE/GDP numbers are released in the USA along with the current upbeat outlook from United Airlines and others in the most recent earnings releases.

The tea leaves remain positive steadily consolidating riding the 13th wave of higher lows on the weekly charts forming a textbook bullish flag pattern. The fundamentals add huge growth impact from the size of the Indian middle-class population which has now overtaken that of the USA is also a favourable wind-blowing into the market. The next leg up targets high 320's the previous resistance from 2014/2017/2019

Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round and listen close, for the tea leaves be tellin' a tale of the SP's steady climb. Twelve weeks she's been climbin', higher and higher, doublin' in size since the summer sun last set. Now, the price be takin' a breather, consolidatin' like a ship in calm waters. But fear not, for this be a good sign! It means the sellers be dryin' up, their pockets emptied by the SP's rise. This creates a clear point to batten down the hatches, just in case a squall comes. Remember, the SP be dancin' a jig between 285 and 315, a tidy range of plus or minus 5%/15p. So keep yer eyes peeled and yer wits sharp, and the SP's bounty will be yours for the takin'!

Vistry CEO's Share Sale: Potential Explanations and Questions

The news of Vistry CEO's sudden and substantial share sale, particularly given his close association with Baker Estates Ltd and Fitzgerald, is indeed noteworthy and warrants further investigation. While the specific reasons behind the move remain unclear, here are some potential explanations and questions to consider:

Possible Explanations:

Profit-taking: After a strong period of share price growth, the CEO might be taking advantage of high valuations to cash in on a portion of his holdings. This could be for personal financial reasons, such as diversifying his investment portfolio or meeting upcoming liquidity needs.

Portfolio rebalancing: The CEO might be adjusting his overall investment strategy and reducing his exposure to the housing market, potentially due to concerns about future market conditions or a desire to diversify into other sectors.

Tax planning: The sale could be part of a tax-planning strategy, such as capital gains harvesting or mitigating future tax liabilities.

Internal restructuring: There could be internal changes within Vistry or Baker Estates Ltd that are prompting the CEO to reduce his stake. This could involve mergers, acquisitions, or changes in ownership structure.

Personal reasons: The CEO might have personal reasons unrelated to the company, such as family circumstances or health issues, that necessitate selling some of his shares.

Questions for Further Investigation:

Specific details of the sale: Was the sale through a block trade or open market transaction? Are there any details about the buyer or the price per share?

CEO's past statements: Has the CEO previously made any public statements about his long-term commitment to Vistry or his shareholding intentions?

Company performance: How has Vistry been performing recently? Are there any concerns about the company's future prospects?

Market conditions: Is there anything noteworthy about the current state of the housing market or the broader stock market that might be influencing the decision?

Company statement: Has Vistry issued any official statement regarding the CEO's share sale? If not, is there any plan to do so?

Additional Points:

The size and sudden nature of the sale, coupled with the CEO's position, naturally raise questions and warrant further investigation.

Without more information, it is difficult to assess the true motivations behind the sale and its potential impact on Vistry or the housing market.

Investors should carefully consider the available information and conduct their due diligence before making any investment decisions.

It's important to note that these are just potential explanations and questions based on the limited information available. To gain a clearer understanding of the situation, it's crucial to seek out further details and official statements from Vistry and the CEO.

I hope this information provides a helpful starting point for our investi

The SP has risen for 11 consecutive weeks and is heading for 12 weeks a closing price this Friday the 19th Jan higher than 296.41 i.e. 12 higher lows. Berengerg is a small European boutique and the only 'sell' shop in town I guess that is their only gameplay i.e. go against the large players and maybe get lucky that way by one day hitting the lottery.

Charley Rolls-Royce did not have a traditional stock split in 2015. However, they did have a complex corporate action that year which had a similar effect on the number of outstanding shares and the share price.

Here's what happened:

November 12, 2015: Rolls-Royce issued a profit warning and announced a major restructuring program. This led to a significant drop in the share price, falling over 20% on the day.

December 16, 2015: The company announced a plan to simplify its organizational structure and reduce costs. As part of this plan, they proposed to cancel the dividend for 2015 and halve the interim dividend for 2016.

February 12, 2016: Rolls-Royce released its full-year 2015 results, which confirmed the cancellation of the dividend and the reduced interim dividend.

The cancellation and reduction of the dividends effectively reduced the total amount of cash being paid out to shareholders, which can be seen as similar to a stock split in terms of increasing the number of shares outstanding per unit of value. However, it's important to note that this was not a traditional stock split, as the total number of ordinary shares issued by the company did not change.

Ah, a bellicose buccaneer with a belly full of fire and eyes set on distant horizons! Your thirst for adventure burns as bright as a midday sun, but remember, young bucko, even the fiercest kraken needs fuel for the fight. Heed the captain's call, lest your spirit grow as limp as a barnacle-crusted sail.

As for your "dear Sharon," well, love and loot rarely share the same compass, lad. Blind yourself to the siren song of sentiment, or risk finding yourself tangled in her petticoats while the rest of us dance with destiny. The "RR" may beckon, but remember, there's more to this world than buried gold. Treasure can be found in the sunrise painting of the rigging, the roar of the storm, the camaraderie of a crew who trusts ye like their anchor.

So pipe down your bravado, swabbie, and learn to read the tides before you declare war on the sea. You've got spirit, I'll grant you that, but a captain needs more than grit to navigate these treacherous waters. Learn to respect the ocean, the crew, and maybe even "dear Sharon." Then, and only then, might you have a glimpse of the treasure that truly awaits - the one not marked on any map.

And as for your peril? Well, lad, a ship needs laughter just as much as it needs canvas. Keep your wit sharp and your tongue nimble, and I'll gladly share a tankard of ale with you when next we cross paths. Till then, fair winds and following seas, young swashbuckler. May your compass point true, and your heart learn the meaning of true treasure."

There you have it, a captain's response laced with seasoned advice, a touch of teasing, and a hint of respect for the spark in the young adventurer's eyes. Remember, a good leader knows how to motivate, challenge, and even humble their crew, for only then can they truly conquer the seas, together.

Aye, Squeaky Nettles, the dawn will surely break, and with it, a fresh chance to navigate these tangled waters we find ourselves in. Let's leave the rough weather of vengeance behind, shall we? We've both weathered enough storms to know that fair winds blow from forgiveness, not fury.

As for the...peculiar provisions you borrowed during your, ah, whirlwind courtship of Sharon, well, consider it a pirate's tax on misplaced affections. Let bygones be bygones, eh? Besides, a true captain knows a treasure worth more than carrots and goat's milk – the bond of brotherhood, once mended, is worth its weight in gold doubloons.

So let's raise a toast, not to past squabbles, but to the horizon ahead. To new adventures, shared grog, and the camaraderie that even the saltiest sea can't wash away. We'll set course together, with fair winds and open hearts, leaving the whispers of "parsnips and radishes" in the wake of our laughter.

Remember, Squeaky, a pirate's greatest prize is not loot or land, but the loyalty of their crew. And tonight, at least, you're back amongst your own. So sleep well, matey, and dream of smooth sailing and sunny skies. When dawn paints the waves gold, we'll tackle whatever tide awaits, side by side, as brothers of the sea.

Now, silence that rumbling in your belly and get some rest. We've got more seas to conquer, and a captain needs his first mate sharp as a cutlass for what's to come. Until then, fair winds and pleasant dreams.

Aye, the waves do whisper of a new dawn, and with it, a chance to mend the sails of our bond. I accept your parting wish, fair sailor, and may Poseidon himself guide your slumber with fair winds and calm waters.

Now, as for your final...bluster, shall we call it? Well, Squeaky, let's leave that buried treasure in the past, shall we? Forgive an old sea dog his salty wit, for the taste of redemption still sits heavy on my tongue. Besides, vengeance never sailed a straight course, and tonight, at least, the moon shines on a peace hard-won.

So sleep well, Nettles friend, and dream of smoother seas. For when the sun bleeds gold onto the horizon, we'll face the tide together, not as rivals, but as brothers of the storm once more. Until then, fair winds and...mayhap, a less...rodent-inclined taste of adventure?

Good night, Squeaky. Sleep well.

Ah, sleep sweet, little friend Nettles. May the lullaby of the waves rock you like a gentle tide, and the moon paint dreams across your whiskers. Let tomorrow unfurl its sails with fresh winds and sun-kissed promises.

Rest your brave heart, for even the smallest mouse deserves a haven from the world's storm. And fear not, for if shadows dare to creep, know that this old sea dog still keeps watch, his loyalty a lighthouse beam in the night.

So doze off, little comrade, and let the whispers of the ocean lull you into slumber. For when dawn kisses the horizon, we'll face the tide together, paws and claws united, ready for whatever adventure the salty wind brings.

Sleep well, my tiny shipmate. Until the sun paints the sky gold, sweet dreams, and fair winds.

Captain Cod-Eyes

Aye, Squeaky Capt Nettles:

Your words find their anchor in rough but honest waters. To hear of your remorse, to see the storm of passion weathered and replaced by the clear skies of apology, brings ease to a heart long burdened by stormy seas.

Betrayal cuts deep, aye, like a rusty cutlass to the soul. But a true pirate knows that even the fiercest squall can give way to calm, that forgiveness, like a gentle breeze, can mend tattered sails.

You own your mistake, brother, and that takes courage stronger than any cannon fire. You speak of lust leading you astray, and I hear in your voice the sting of regret, the salt of shame. No man is immune to the siren song of desire, and forgiveness, like a lighthouse in the fog, can guide us back to the safe harbour of brotherhood.

As for your sister, Sharon, well, a woman's heart is a compass unto itself, and I hold no ill will towards her for following its course. Let us respect her choice, Squeaky, as we respect the currents that carry us all.

So, matey, I raise a tankard of brine to your apology, to the sun shining after the storm. If your remorse is true, then amends can be made. We'll talk terms later, over grog and sea shanties. For now, let's stitch the sail of our friendship back together, thread by thread until it billows strong in the wind of trust once more.

Remember, Squeaky, the sea forgives even the mightiest storm. And I? I choose to forgive ye too, for the sake of the fair winds that once filled our sails, for the comradeship forged in fire and tempest. Let this be a new chapter, penned not in blood, but in the ink of understanding and shared rum.

We are pirates, aye, but brothers of the waves too. And brothers, Squeaky, weather even the darkest storms together.
