Teddy, just wondering if you live near a village with a reliance on horses - as you seem to be wearing their blinkers.

On BP, yes, a bit "alien" at the moment but look at where things are going with both oil and green, one is a requirement and one is a tangible goal.

As far as airlines, get a grip! You say you've sold BP and put into IAG - f**k me, look at Airbus activity, Boeing will follow. Why do you think they are doing this now? The travel industry has a three year itch to scratch until things even start returning to semi-normal.

I wish you luck, as I need, but don't try and kill a sentiment because of a bad decision. Let's keep it clean and lick our wounds in private...

By no way experienced in this sector but surely the writing is on wall and has been for some time.

Lockdown eased and certain individuals are complete arses by going to these large confined spaces but once the initial novelty ceases, the majority will resort back to "fear factor" once second wave starts to tickle.

Would not want to be anywhere near retail property at the moment.... This brings me to commercial property, particularly in the service sector on which we heavily rely. The numbers men are looking at the facts on operations during lockdown and realised that they no longer need large corporate "bricks and sticks" - look at what the IT giants are doing in the US.

All of that square footage with no takers - what could possibly go wrong????????

I thought SP was the aggressive one...… T100, think you may need to go and take in the park - social distancing though.....

Be civilised T100, a word used to connect sentences or words in the same clause - This is becoming embarrassing...….

Try this one - Alma mater. Aqua vitae, ars longa, vita brevis. Praemonitus, praemunitus. Caveat emptor......

TMT, this was not pointed at your good self - I think "correct grammar" has perhaps, a little escaped; me during isolation but, didn't think this BB~ was the Covid alternative to the, now cancelled, [ ]A Level English Language exam.....

Popped a few bad punctuation and misplaced wordy to keep your embers burning.....

Have a glass of "chateau neuf du briand" …………

SP, most posters have good points to make and I'm not taking sides with any individuals.

It sounds like you have a good in-depth understanding of the oil industry (I particularly appreciated you comment on Ven not yet having the "appropriate" knowledge to extract economically considering what the naughty Iranians were up to a few weeks back).

TMT has many valid points as well, but with all comments (probably get in trouble for this one) do you prefer blondes or brunettes?

BBB has many valid points.

We all get frustrated when comments don't agree with our portfolio, or, start getting a little "near to the knuckle".

I have a lot of respect for all valid contributors, however, I do appreciate subjects may become a "little heated" from time to time, but hey, "lockdowns" over now according to BJ, what could possibly go wrong.

Keep the faith, keep the oil and, maybe, consider where the investment is coming from for the "left wing" green tech.

Take care.

SP, not sure if you are looking for confrontation in your posts but try and adopt a little humour and show a little respect to fellow posters.

Not tat sure what the hells going on between TMT and yourself, but I assume you wont be exchanging Christmas cards...

It would be nice to get the posts back to a civilised state by all (I include myself in this - we all have our bad days)

Take care all.

So were the English in the US.....

What? To counter act the last 2 years share "buy back"...… Need to get a grip o this one and see that oil is here to stay for the foreseeable.

Any business worth its salt does its best to foresee future trends and adapt accordingly and this takes time - remember the oil tanker coming to a stop analogy (pardon the pun).

BBB, chill out old boy, you'll bust a blood vessel.

We've all tried to play the market and turn , what appeared to be a f**king disaster, into at least break even.

I was fortunate at the start and clawed it back, plus a little cream, but got bitten on the upturn.

Like you say, it's a guessing game, with a little knowledge to assist - it keeps us out of William Hills...…..

What is it you want, or expect to see. State your case or back off...…...

Don't read to much into the carbon neutral by 2050 mantra - they've said this is on their operational activity, not their product sales.....

Basically, all their employees will be commuting to the office on bicycles and then asked to keep on pedalling all day to run a dynamo to turn their computers on..... Ha Ha

SP, You are a little curious in your comments, if not somewhat arrogant.

Considering you don't have a holding in the business and by the look of it, haunt the "penny share" boards, get a life and leave us to ours - your posts hold no relevance...….

Perhaps a could recommend a 100000 piece jigsaw for the remainder of lockdown - should stop the drivel...…..

BBB, hey, slow it down. If I've misunderstood, apologise.

Perhaps in a reasonable position as currently paying .25 above base on 3 BTL from 2007 so cash is king - debt is cheap (not for the faint hearted)

BBB, do the math. Where are you putting at 8 and paying 3 - if that's a cert, I'll take that all day long...….

Believe it or not, I agree wholly with what you are saying, The "Loon" is no loon. If you had a £750K mortgage and £750K in cash, would you pay off the mortgage which you have at stupidly low rates, or realise the capital and use elsewhere - it's called business.

Keep the faith Maj

TMT, Good man. I personally agree with your inflation theory and considering it has just fallen to 0.5% whilst food inflation is at around 4% what could possibly happen when we all start buying clothes and cars and holidays and ,,,,,,,,.

Take care

TMT, You've changed your tune - investing in giraffe space travel now.....

What is it you want? The guy is the captain of a precarious ship, whether it be ocean liner or oil tanker is another story.

IMO, the "Loon" isn't doing a bad job considering the circumstances. The upward spike last week was OK with you as you "crowed" but the current price is about right for now until the storm clears.

Thought you'd have a more reasoned reply - however, lol, look at the next 12 months. BL is not a bad bloke, he's continuing and augmenting a path to the future.

Have a little foresight......
