Fanng 5 , typo, though as I've predicted before 2 of those 5 will come unstuck bigtime I believe. That's stocks. That's what history tells me.
Well trump could get his p45 later in the year , if you believe the USA media, who are just as corrupted as ours. But that said, Nasdaq at all time high, mainly due to the fanny 5. Dow, not that far behind, so can only see trump going as a negative in relation to stocks. Ok, the battle between USA & China may ease, but all the other geo political problems will still need to be addressed. An observer on CNBC said the other day China v USA is not a cold war like with Russia, more of a battle to be number 1 in a business global sense. Can't see trump going quietly.
The situation could change dramatically due to a single event, e.g. change of a major national leader - Putin, Trump or Xi.
Admittedly I have no one to blame but myself for both buying & not selling when every thing told me I should be selling, not buying. But that said many many many observers on here & many other sites were telling me I was clueless when I predicted the big share price fall & the dividend cut. As per usaul people can't help themselves telling me what I should , shouldn't be doing. As per usaul I'll do as I please & suggest you do likewise. This is a good buy at these levels , but no £@8 until dividend rises. Don't hold your breath.

my god you can be dull .... the regret with shares isnt so much with buying them..the regret is not making the decision to sell them..
if somone chooses not to put in a stop loss then the risk is purely down to oneself, and as such best taken on the chin...if someone decides not to put in a stop loss and be a LTH then they should STFU and live with that decision
If there is all these f*cking regrets then it is best kept to oneself...
It's only akin to betting if you have not spread your risk optimally. Investing in 1 share, or 3 or 4, and then complaining how they went down won't help you. You know what, some shares do actually go down, it happens. Put your money into an index fund and save yourself some heartache.
In terms of risk vs potential benefit, it would be difficult to find a better priced company than Shell atm.
I never said anyone forced me to buy. What I said is it's a gamble & many regret taking it.. The same as the grand national etc etc.
There are buyers and sellers in the market, no one forced you to buy shares.
I certainly hope your right. But time will tell as I always say
Well shell was £23 in January & nearly £27 Les than 18 months ago, so where was the risk factors then.
Char333 the market correctly prices shares based on the level of perceived risk.
100% agree Char but for many of us we enjoy the gamble, the chase and the daily craic.
Truth be told most investors would be much better off in a global fund. They have torn it up over the last 20 years.
I honestly think Shell is in a fantastic position for the recovery when it arrives and it will once the vaccines it.
Fire Power regarding finance
Divercity
Renewables
Scale
Best oil assets at low prices
Commodity trading
Energy Provider (Electricity, Hydrogen etc)
Chemicals

Its not sexy or get rich quick but I truly believe long term we will do OK with Shell....

Hi, hope your well. Yes indeed you won't get anywhere near 4% from high st banks. But how many shell shareholders wish they had kept their money in the paltry paying banks rather than in vesting in shell. They'd be sleeping in their bed alot easier, I believe. Shares are a gamble. No share is exempt to the gamble. I was told tobacco, telecommunications, supermarkes were defensive stocks. Now their totally down due to market forces. I recall getting 5% on a 1 year ISA from hbos in 2006. Indeed 4% on sharedealling account. Those days are gone forever in my lifetime. Banks are finished after banking crisis, PPI scandal & now cv19. Interest rates will remain at low levels for many many many years. So me & all shareholders are forced to gamble hard earned cash on shares. Hope it works out well for you. But dividend won't be rising anytime soon, just like interest rates.
Interesting. I'm hoping RDSB will be able to increase dividend above 4.2% sooner rather than later (still better than interest rates offered by any high street bank, of course).
