Moniman, I'm reporting late for duty here today so commenting only now !! Anything written on these Boards doesn't effect the share prices, especially that of a company of BP's size. Also, I agree with what MarkGo said about spights as I've always found her a decent polite informative contributor to this Board.

Hi Mark and meoryou
Have a great weekend
Very wise words
:)))))
Get real guys, someone posting three times first thing in the morning about Israel Attack under the heading 'Breaking News' and including oil price charts and link saying 'surging oil price' doesn't sound like someone who doesn't want to profit from a war in the Middle East from the potential for higher Oil prices... 🤔 JMO
Hi Spights
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,” a Quote the 19th century when 'good women ' had not been invented so it would seem !!!
Okay, moniman's post was far from evil but I hope you get the point.
A TipRanks analyst's upgrade link. Nothing especially new here just a recognition that more and more are seeing BP as an investment as the bullish amongst us do. In the short term, looking to top up again if sub £5 in the certainty of heading back north soon.
Have a great day Spights, meoryou and all inc. Moniman

Mark and meoryou my special friends .Thankyou for your support.
When you are on the LSE boards it’s a frequent occurrence
It’s best to ignore
Onwards and Upwards
Thanks Mark
Several Arab countries are very unhappy with Iran as it takes away the spotlight from what Israel is doing in Gazza.
So I’m hopeful that is likely to become a bit quieter.
Think it’s typical that it all happened just before the weekend again.
Regarding your defence of Spights who we know is not like that ( and very able to defend herself).
Think it was a master class in almost being polite,but just a bit prickly.
Morning meoryou
For now, with Iran downplaying the explosion in central Iran this morning , and with no official comment from Israel or the US, the situation is seen as being contained for now. Neither side want to escalate in my opinion.
Hopefully, as you post, this country to country attacks will be put to bed now by both the countries. I hope words and threats will replace drones and missiles.
There is hope that these limited actions and international pressure will force both sides to contain further escalation.
Monitoring the price of oil, it reflects expectations of no further escalation and the reports from Iran did not mention any damage. No nuclear facility was attacked or damaged fortunately.
All this could change of course. Israel seem to be still intent of a Rafar operation and a Lebanon and Hezbollah is another focus point.
I hope you had an amazing holiday.
Mark
Moniman
If ignorance and disrespect were sports you would win gold medals in both.
I do not want to be rude in response to your post directed at Spights ( not sights ) but you leave me little choice as Spights is a decent, polite, respected long standing contributor to this forum.
I would expect someone with 10,000+ contributions would be experienced enough not to presume and post impulsive, ill-considered comment that has no value other to BP investors.
A decision for you as to whether you would like to make amends for your imprudent comment. An apology to Spights comes to mind as an decent option.
Mark
It’s looking like for now both sides have done enough to save face.
Hopefully it de-escalates for a few days.
That appears to be what oil market is telling us for now.
And hopefully tensions will not rise.

I have a heart and feel for the people in Iran and Israel
Meoryou thankyou.
No one wants this to happen
Absolutely not
Just posting the latest news
It’s dreadful news
Think she is simply reporting the news.
You don’t have to go back through many of her comments to find a comment like
“Hopefully Iran /Israel does not escalate”
Sights, you seem keen to make money from a Middle East war between Iran and Israel resulting in many more deaths of innocent civilians?
News
Israel has launched a strike against Iran in retaliation for Tehran's unprecedented missile-and-drone assault on the country at the weekend.
Air defences were fired in several provinces, including at a major military airbase and nuclear facilities near the central city of Isfahan.
So far, there have not been any reports of damage or casualties.
The windfall tax is a bugbear that the likes of Exxon don't have.
Robinha your statement does not bear up to scrutiny.Bp pays UK windfall taxes only on its UK profits,so does Exxon Mobil and any other international oil company that operates profitably in UK oil and gas sector.
ExxonMobil has an interest in around 40 producing offshore oil and gas fields in the North Sea. Many of these fields are operated by Shell U.K. Exploration and Production as part of a joint operation.
We have lots of broker targets at around £5 and a daft one from Barclays at £10. Nothing is gonna the market cap.
I do think the new CEO is sensible but he can't make the sp rise materially. Can't see the world could cope with a sustained PoO either to drive the price up.
The windfall tax is a bugbear that the likes of Exxon don't have. Treasury dips into everything everywhere 'cos UK is a dead duck.
I too see a very bright future for BP.
There are a lot of parts doing well.
If oil stays around these levels the rest of the year,BP will only get stronger .
I firmly believe that there is now a more disciplined approach to where investment money is being directed.
And with this oil price they can probably sneak in an extra oil project.
Think today’s announcement shows things are moving on to be properly post Looney
Hi Spights,
I hope all's well with you. I'm pleased to see your Lloyds holding is rewarding your patience and BP will do the same in time. I know we have been here before but BP was always going to be a long term reward. Personally hoping and expecting £7+ by year end 2025 and not certain that would be reward enough for me to sell. Many profitable projects coming on stream over the next 18mths.
J.S.B , Spights and all. Best of luck.
Mark
Hi Mark.I am still holding
Like you I am a very very strong believer in Bp and the future of the share price
My target was always £6.40
Although I believe it will eventually be £7 + imho
Hopefully Iran /Israel does not escalate
Good luck
Onwards and Upwards
Thanks Mark I have no intention of selling yet anyway, but hopefully within 2 years I will be 66 then.
