Fair Play UB, Best of luck to you Sir.

My guess is a high of around 3.14 and a close of 3.03.

Don't think the Chinese GDP mood will help market sentiment today...

Normal opening flip flopping - it will work, either way, but if you're lucky, the right side.

Sold out on Wednesday and bought back in today - hopefully some Spam on the table on Sunday!!!!!!

What do people think about various governments easing lockdowns, in particular, Pakistan, where they are the height of their known cases and dropping lockdown on Saturday - idiots...…

There is much work to be done here with regards national isolation, however, the government can not seriously allow air travel to start with country's like this acting irresponsibly.

Unfortunately, it will more than likely happen and we will all see the second spike and …….. need I say more

WMMG, The article I read referred to the BoE not being able to predict / forecast recovery as there were to many variables. Whilst saying they stated a V recovery, where did you get this "confirmation" from - I'm thinking at best a U.

As far as the government reducing assistance to the banks, I didn't make that point. I refer to reducing support toward furloughed workers muted in by CE to not extend.

With regards business, the funds are starting to dribble through but only to replace NP where this has been lost due to lockdown - if it's a grant, all well and good, but on the whole it's a loan (all be it the cheapest commercial loan available), it's still a loan they were not expecting to take on the whole.

How do you think coming out of "lockdown" will develop, particularly in hospitality and travel related businesses?
As far as drinking early, I'm a jolly good religious chap and don't touch the Chateau Lafite until at least the little hand has passed the 7

IMO, the banks are not the place to be at present, unless day trading.

If you take a look at the support from Government diminishing and current forecasts (if you can call them that) from the BoE, we're heading in recession (no surprise there) and unemployment will rise.

How big an exposure to unsecured loans do the banks have when the IVA's start flooding in....

Loch, don't think you can set up a reinvestment plan direct with BP but you should be able to with your trading platform. Disadvantage being, there is no discretion at what price they trade at i.e. they typically trade 1 to 2 days following receipt of divi into your account

T+2 - yes, you'll be fine. Watch the drop though, if it happens, as this may wipe out what ever divi payment you've accumulated.

Not to sure about that - the divi has been built in for a good few days and is almost seen as a "little bonus" to those not willing to play the game.

I am predicting as world starts to come out of lockdown (and, OMG, I hope they have this sh*t right"), the sentiment will improve and demand will increase, even taking into account the storage.

Best of luck chaps and hope it goes the right way tomorrow......

D, just wondering why you've posted this?

21600 size buy - not the big boys but someone seems to know something....

With regards the reference to "jet fuel" requirements, couldn't agree more. Look at what the Buff has done with the Airline majors in US - off loaded around 10% holding each at a loss of around £6B to his beloved Berkshire Hathaway.

Now there's a guy with his "ear to the ground"

Not meaning to be rude, but have you not got a calculator

Just a thought, in these strange times, I cant see people jumping in to make around 2.6ish% when this has more than likely been factored in to the recent ups and downs so don't see much of an increase in the run up to Wednesday.

Just read H's response which appeared as I was writing - sounds better than mine.

Thank H

Johnson, If you trade on the Wednesday, technically, you would not have your ownership rights until the following Monday with the 2015 T+2 trade to ownership ruling - have I got this right as I thought you actually had to "own" the shares on the Ex-Div date.

If you could comment, would be appreciated.

For all looking at the dividend - ensure you look at the terms on your account, T+2 etc

just saying, you can make more in a day with the swings in share price than the current 2.5ish % divi.

Is it not a time to step back and take a look at the bigger picture?

Tricky, fair play, I just read the post and thought more MI5 than chancing a few £'s.

You are right in your view and, hey, BOHICA.

Best of luck and keep safe.

tacet, what the f**k are you talking about.

If you would be so kind as to translate for us "lower class" investors!!!!
