UD, right with you, however, us hardcore take the aged poo and put a couple of cubes of ice in...… take the pain!

AJW, watch out for the pincer movement by the commies and the sweaty socks - could get nasty....

DD, on an average SP holding of £5, it still over 6% - not that bad really. What is it about your parties that sound so appealing - perhaps you could offer invites as a side line; I'd buy one....

Haven't heard anything to the contrary, if you were in ownership of the shares 7/8 Nov 2019(ex div/record date), the dividend will be paid 20th Dec 2019 @ 10.25 cents per share

Never be afraid to ask questions - there's always someone who will help you out.

The stock goes ex-div on 5th Dec with a record date of the 6th. Taking into consideration the usual T+2 settlement on UK shares, you would need to be looking no later than the 3rd/4th for broker purchase.

Best of luck and a successful December.

Oracle, just wondering what you are basing your predictions on this share price on. I appreciate, and respect, your experience but as a relative newbie who has a reasonable knowledge of the market through analysis, charts and news feeds (the big T-rex may disagree), wouldn't mind an insight as you are so sure of your posts. I hope this isn't a repetition of your short prediction on Marstons of 27p who are currently riding at £1.21 and have never gone below £1.15 since post. Not having a pop, just trying to keep the board current.

Hey oracle, Monday coming up, What's your slant on this week o' wise one

How long ago - last time these were at £3 was in 1996 - didn't get this low even after Gulf disaster...….

Hi HH, it's basically going short or long on the share price i.e. what is the research pointing towards. It is also worth considering your tax position as income tax is payable on dividends and capital gains tax is payable on share profit.

Further to add, is the commentary regarding buy at this late stage related to off loading shares at pre-div price anticipating typical slump the following day for the lowly private investor ………

Perhaps I'm becoming jaded in my old age.

Did anyone look at the T+2 issue with regards ownership. If you bought on Wednesday and are expecting the dividend, you may well be disappointed come 5th Nov....

There is the ex-div date, the record date and the "need to own by date" taking into account the settlement date (T+2).

I hope I'm wrong (if I am, I've missed out like a "k**b".

VV, Not sure if that's correct. With the T+2 typical trading settlement, it's to late to make record date, never mind the ex-div date.

If I'm wrong, please let me know - I wouldn't mind picking up on share price trickling south for a 40p divi

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Sorry TT, I'm also a relative beginner with a reasonable chunk in the ring and I ask my self, what appears to the rest, to be silly questions from time to time. Ignore the "snobs" with their track suits and Gordon Gekko red braces and cigars. You will always find a friend on the board to answer questions. All I'll say is take a look at the figures - there are simple algorithms out there to assist in the research - but don't be afraid to ask...……..

Anyone out there have any idea if BP will issue dividend addition due to figures twice expectation or what.

Appreciate share buy back may assist in reducing dilution of MC but does anyone know if there may be a surprise!

Where are you getting your figures from? 10% rise following dividend pay out, more like dividend equiv drop. With regards increase in value due to current increase in oil price, think the markets will have factored this in anyway- it's hardly breaking news.

Nige,

Many thanks for response. I'm looking through data you included and the dots are joining up in the old grey matter.

Once again, thanks and may there be more factual posts like this - people may disagree with the math behind the conclusion, but you cant argue with the data.

Hope to hear from you soon Nige.

I have reasonable holding and looking for a little decent advice on sell/hold/buy position. Taking into consideration current political position and the old friend/foe, interest rate, what is it about the fundamentals of this business that some of you don’’t like. Let’s get away from the rivalry squabbles on mine’s bigger than yours - there’s a table with a 6” ruler in most bs drinking holes for that. We should also get away from the rampers and derampers, if that’s who they are - what percentage of the stock do you think is discussed on this site? Who do you think you are, Gordon Gheko, greed is good, blah, blah, blah. All you are doing is confusing, on the whole, a decent chap/chapess trying to make a few quid for their pension. So, what is the thought on the current performance bearing in mind, what is thought to be, a positive trading update on Wednesday? PS sorry if I vented a little, had a bad day??????

I'm a novice so please forgive validity of question if todge.

Rule of thumb is that mm's will reduce share price by divi value following day (appreciate other factors can differ result). With around half the total value being a "special" payment, will this still apply - or is it suck it and see?

Reaching for the revolver - for the foot! Can anybody see the light at the end of the tunnel? What's that, YES? Oh! it's the headlights of the 3:30 from London to Altrincham!!!!!!! Any positives come to mind?

Good to see but did this a couple of months ago. I do hope it continues as I need 0.29p to break even. On another note, within the articles of agreement for the refinancing last year, I believe the bank who put up the cash took share options - a debenture I think. However, I believe these were to be on agreement that the company would buy back 2012/13 at 0.90p. Now this can be good or bad - Good if Bank have taken well researched calculated approach and see long term value. Bad if they call the "chips" in at 0.90p when the share price remains sub 0.30p - Looking under the bed time... Any thoughts?

Are you in here - I've been following BP and seen your material - are we in for some more posts from you here now? Regards
