LIO A Value Investment At A Potential Significant Turning point.LIO is now at an area which should provide a spring board for the next move higher. Looking at some key ratios reveals price is already offering great value here: PE Ratio 7.7 EV to EBITDA 3.8 Dividend Yield 12.00% We have the confluence of chart support and trend line support coming into play. The meeting of these on a technical level usually provides relief from selling pressure and an opportunity for new entries to be undertaken. Only decisive move below the risk zone would potentially invalidate the idea. Long term buy and hold

2 Retail Stocks to WatchMarks & Spencer (MKS) Financials: Marks & Spencer reported strong growth in both its Food and Clothing & Home businesses for the first 19 weeks of the financial year. Food sales increased by over 11%, driven by price changes, while Clothing & Home sales grew by more than 6%, primarily due to in-store growth. Despite economic uncertainties, the company expects significant improvements in full-year profit growth and half-year results compared to previous expectations of modest revenue growth. Technical View: Marks & Spencer’s share price has been locked in a powerful uptrend since the turn of the year. Recent price action has seen the shares break out from a wedge pattern and retest trend highs. We are now seeing prices consolidate at trend highs within a series of small candles. This form of high and tight consolidation signals a reluctance to pull back, which suggests that the shares are being accumulated ahead of a potential move higher. MKS Daily Candle Chart Next (NXT) Financials: Next's half-year sales grew 5.4% to £2.6 billion, benefiting from higher wages and warm weather in late spring and early summer. Pre-tax profit rose 4.8% to £419.8 million, driven by increased sales and higher full-price sales of their own-brand products. They improved free cash flow to £438.1 million and reduced net debt to £1.7 billion. Full-year profit guidance was raised to £875 million. Next completed £167 million in share buybacks, plans to spend £52 million more, and announced an interim dividend of 66p per share. Technical View Next’s uptrend is decidedly less pretty than Marks & Spencer’s, but we have seen prices carve out a rising series of higher swing lows. This has created a steepening trendline fan which suggests underlying price momentum is increasing. Recent price action has seen the shares pull back to a key area of trend support created by the broken summer swing highs. Should Next’s uptrend continue, we would expect these broken summer swing highs to provide support moving forward. NXT Daily Candle Chart Risk management It’s worth noting that despite the robust high street presence of both Marks & Spencer and Next, rising inflation may impact consumer spending. Cost-saving measures from both businesses may not fully offset increased costs, potentially leading to higher prices. Marks & Spencer are set to release half year earnings on 8th November 2023. Next are set to release Q3 earnings on 1st November 2023. Disclaimer: This is for information and learning purposes only.

BUR: Further Short Term Weakness/Longer Term BullishIt looks like we are in phase B of an accumulation structure. Phase A characterized by stronger impulse moves has supply absorbed. This was evident by the large moves we saw early on. As we enter Phase B, the volatility shakes out, where longer term traders start buying. This is evident by weaker impulse moves and shortened thrusts. Typically we should see going into Phase C a spring type action (marked by a sharp sell off) with a higher volume signature indicating further absorption, followed by a reversal reaction that has lower volume (signs shares have been accumulated). Fundamentally, the shares are still cheap and according to the CEO the market value of the portfolio is somewhere in the 3 bn ex Petersen(while the enterprise value is 2bn). A good catalyst for a short term weakness is the upcoming earnings call. Its possible that the immediate reaction will be negative (based on lower progress in cases) but long term prospects for the company will remain high post digestion of the news. A secondary negative reaction could be the loss of the Petersen case or failure to be able to collect the payout (which I think is more likely).

SAVILLS UK HOUSING MARKET IS MAKING A MASSIVE RISING WEDGEHello Traders, Big rising wedge formation on Savills here with price on the top trend line of the wedge in overbought conditions with bear div on the RSI, it looks like a throw over. Is the UK housing market in a bubble or will the price break the top of the wedge into uncharted territory? Notice the bounce on the 24 year long trendline, I thought that was interesting anyway. Im bearish here based on the chart, but also realise price could break above the wedge. What are your thoughts?

BT.A - BT GROUP PLC - LONGThis is an analysis of BT GROUP PLC - a British telecom company, the following is strictly my own personal opinion and does not constitute financial advice. Key numbers: Dividend yield TTM - 6.47% P/B - 0.81 P/E - 5.56 (currently) Market cap 11 817 MGBP (11.8BGBP) Analyst estimates: Analyst estimate average for BT.A is 188.5 GBX which is equivalent to a 65.42% increase from todays price. Key information: CEO has been replaced with Telias ex-CEO Alison Kirkby, she claims to have the same vision for the company as previous CEO Phillip Jansen. Telia stock has been following a similar trend as BT.A, and as news was released today both shares dropped. However, analysts believe BT.A is overweight, and the consensus among analysts is that BT.A is a buy/strong buy. Technical analysis: BT.A made a bullish divergence on recent support level at 120GBX 11th of July, likely due to uncertainty around the next CEO of the company, the stock consolidated until today. As news came out regarding the change of CEO, shares dropped in price, dropping down to previous support on 110-112GBX - still within the lines of a bullish divergence. Strategy: I am currently in possession of BT.A shares with a GAV of 123GBX which I am looking to hold. The lowest sell side analyst target is at 100GBX, and if price continues to drop to support at 95-100GBX and the divergence between relative strength and price continues, I will be looking to increase my position in the stock as long as no unforeseen news arise. If the price holds above support on the 110GBX level I will not add to my position, and I will follow my original strategy to wait for price to get closer to AVG analyst estimate, or take profit around 160GBX at the stocks previous high. Taking profit at 160GBX will net roughly 34-35% gain when factoring in dividends paid out 13th of September. Should price drop below the 95-100GBX support level, I will re-evaluate my position and look to liquidate the shares if there is any indication that the fundamental situation of the company has changed for the worse, or if the bullish divergence becomes invalid.
