Only thing is, at £6 the divi isn't looking so good for income players at more than 1% bellow what you can get for cash. £6 will be a stumbling block and would certainly see me take a lot off the table and into a long term fixed rate cash account but then I'm at a stage in life when I want a bit more portfolio in cash really for safety. In short, they need to up their divi for a UK market, especially if it gets to a point where future growth is limited. Enjoying the rise now though, glad (for now) that I took off the 520 sell orders last night.

Had both me and the wifes holdings to sell at 520 and was out of internet signal today. Wasn't expecting that today. No the dilemma, do I stick with my sell order under my theory of diminishing divided yield, now at less than 4% and possible diminished profits in the quarters to come. Or do i get greedy and cancel the order to let them ride. Done that before (several times, lol) and regretted sticking to my plan but the reaction was so strong today, especially the boost when stateside opened up, how high can this go short term before dropping back?

The price of oil is largely out of BP's hands isn't it. If by fuel you mean petrol and diesel, then you should be asking the government who put 55p a litre on it I believe and it will rise further in April we're told. If companies make a profit because the price of what they sell has risen and the companies are run well and efficiently why not let them? There's no great call to subsidize oil and gas companies when the price of oil drops. Were there calls to windfall tax British hotels and caravan holiday parks post covid when people stayed at home for holidays and said businesses made a mint?

Steady as she goes, back to £6. This year.

Topher, don't beat yourself up, any one of us could write what you just did. We all make calls on greed one time or another. You didn't sell. No big deal. Set sell order for 24.40 and sit on your hands and wait. You'll get it back and maybe sneek a 1% divi on the way.

In couple of hrs....... that's more than the year's dividend. Oh well, I'm here for the divi until it gets to £25.50, then it's all set to sell, the yield will have dropped too low then. A loss on the day is only numbers if you hold strong. British press have their narrative for today, probably been writing their pieces for a few days now with gaps just to insert the proper figures in. Makes me chuckle really, most of the journos have no clue. They weren't calling for tax breaks and government hand outs for shell 3 yrs ago were they.

Results day tomorrow as poo plunges 3%. Agree that a decent divi hike is very much needed here. 3.5% is not enough to risk your capital when you can get 4.5% in cash if you want to lock it away for 3 yrs. Risk free.

This last week. Guess the heat has gone from the travel rally and people sitting on much profit are seeing the sp drift down and getting out. All good for the long run fingers crossed.

That maybe true however Bloomberg says a unconfirmed source says they are approaching banks for a cash raise to pay back the German government bail out money they got in 2020.

Is this why the Sp has not reacted as expected with the good news and sentiment from EZJ and JET2?

Not many doing the same by the looks of it. Ezj going up, TUI going down. Only matter of time before TUI catches up though.

Anger , but what genre will it be ? Mystery, comedy, horror or all three LOL.

Misheard? The chair said tracking device known as a PVA. Don't you think Simon should have said sorry, did you mean a PDA? Which sound almost the same. This CEO is a joke.

Performance and outlook

Posties not poties lol . Bloody phone.

Hopefully,anger, you can now see the sort of boss we're up against as posties. We're not all lazy and wanting more money. We just don't trust or want this twonk of a 'leader' leading our jobs into a gig economy style of job and hopefully now you can see that you can't trust a word he says. Not sure how its all going to spin out but a good start would be replacing the muppit for someone who can work with us and the Union for the good of the business, poties and shareholders. Thompson does none of the above.

Spot on isleworth. The only way these 'revisions' stand a chance of working is if they don't have to be all delivered every day. I'm on a hybrid rural who does about an hrs worth of LAT's when I get back to the office. The van share in a neighbouring village worked to time yesterday, the manager put their one hr they left onto me instead of my pkts. In the coming revision I'm told the same van share pairing will be getting half my rural delivery put into their duty. That's about 1hr 45min of just van delivery (farms and firms) . So in conclusion, yesterday I took 1 hr off them (30 min each) and in the revision they'll be doing that plus 1hr45 (approximately 50 mins for each) although that will involve the walker doing 2 loops while the driver does the farms. Which means they'll be consistently 1 hr 20 over and yesterday wasn't that busy. My duty is going btw. They really are clueless.

Normally with good results, things tend to go down. Hope not.

Possibly true, apart from the donuts bit. Our vans are all fwd as far as I know. Pretty hard to do donuts in a fwd van, especially one without the power needed to pull the skin off a rice pudding.

Anger, you're surprisingly ill informed of what we have and have not been offered. By the way we were never 'offered' 2% . It was brought in by EA , like it or lump it, that's all you are getting. Why would it be prudent to hand out what would amount to £1000 per postie, in a dividend on 6th September 22 when the finances of the company were so bad (loosing £1m a day)? Oh yeah, it wouldn't, even if it were from profits from the previous year. If you earned £50k last yr but lost your job this yr, would you still carry on spending the same because you earned it last yr?
