Yeah Barrie, think it may have just triggered but it was on just under £70k worth so maybe not. Anyway, done now and can't see this is the top for the next few weeks. Hopefully will trigger after divi collected for 2550. I'd be happy with that. Other shares looking more potential ATM, divi and growth. Maybe I've just been too greedy. Wouldn't have the first time.

When do they do the exchange rate conversion, because thats looking good at the moment gbp down 2% today.

gaps, how are you getting £71 for sunday premium per week??? It's £5.80 odd an hr more on Sunday. That means you must be doing 12hrs every sunday??

Karv, but energy and wage costs are rising too. I reckon about 10% div yield for next yr on a SP of £13. so possibly a divi cut of 40-50% but still a very good yield if you're buying now. Best way to make money, buy a company that is near bottom of cycle that has a strong dividend paying history. PSN currently fits that bill. IMHO.

took my sell order for 2495 off this afternoon when i saw it rising strong and steady, upped it to 2550. Watch it tumble back down now LOL.

we are now getting to a share price last seen when the price of oil was hanging around the $60-70 area. We've now had 9 months of oil at $90-$120 and many share buybacks and a reduced dividend outlay for 2 years plus. Why is the SP still struggling to get up to and over £25 when it should be in the £25-£30 range? Or am I not seeing something. Ok ,theres a probable economic downturn coming but on the other hand China cannot keep zero covid policy for the sake of their own economy for too much longer. Meanwhile the roads are always chock a bloc with traffic burning fuel (not many full EV's either, at least not round where i live). Feel we are somewhat undervalued here still. If oil suddenly dropped to $60 I hate to think what the SP would be, it just seems a bit out of correlation.

Daytradenovice, yes it's the divi thats holding this back now. The threat of more windfall tax is too, but mainly the divi which at less than 4% yield is not good for an SP that's at a 3 yr high. Especially when you could get a safe 5% on cash fixed for the next 5 yrs if you wanted.

The biggest form of windfall is a lottery win......and that's tax free!!

It would be nice if they knew how much they were 'allowed' to make, then they could close the taps and kick back and relax. Of course, this would increase the poo. Govts just clutching at straws. Did they windfall tax Amazon in the covid yr? Or Astra zeneca?

D9. Exciting yes, but we're never getting our £6.50 a share back this way, sadly.

Shrew, doing it your way , unless there's something to lift the markets as a whole or specific to oil then you won't have gained anything and possibly lost some as all being equal, the SP will drop by the dividend amount anyway. I'd hold and wait for it to return thereby actually getting back the dividend amount at least.

Epro, thanks for wishing chemo or a big op on me, you sound s very nice person. I don't actually wish the poor to get poorer, I wish more people would take responsibility for themselves and not expect handouts. Fulough was similar, both of us working hard while some on 80% or whatever of their wage having a holiday at home or taking a second job while still being paid for the one they weren't doing. Us posties had a joke, you could tell a non key workers house because the car in the drive was always clean!

Brixton, you're a hard worker with pride being self employed in itself says you rely on nobody but yourself. Hope your health is ok now and you can enjoy life.

EPRO , No we didn't have well paid jobs, postman for me and the wife was a health care assistant for the NHS. She was lucky enough to be one of the last to get a full unreduced final salary pension at 55. We both worked bloody hard for the position we are in now, never lived above our means and are pretty financially savvy. The fact we couldn't have children meant we refocused on saving for our freedom however long we get, you just never know. My Mrs boosted her final salary for her pension from a base rate of £21k up to £30k through sheer hard graft. By the time we are both getting state pension as well (obviously my work pension will not be great stopping work at 55) we will be financially ok for our current lifestyle. We have built up enough to bridge that gap.

67Sam. No, we will not be handing back our state pension, we have both worked hard and paid into it, don't say silly things, you knew what I meant. We have taken the £400 towards energy too. We came out of a fix deal we'd gone for just before September, because the govt announced the unit price cap for 2yrs. Now, we would probably have been better off from April 23 if we'd stuck with it after the u turn, so I feel justified in taking the £400 as compensation if you like. Mostly, I feel people on benefits are taking the micky, they can not have done a stroke of work (officially) all their lives and get a full state pension on top of their benefits. Geniune cases of people too disabled to get a job, fair enough but I see so many as a postman delivering to certain areas, who are just taking the pxxs, smoking, drinking, watching their latest big TV while I was out in the rain and snow delivering their mail. Since Brexit, people who are unemployed should be forced to do the jobs left vacant by those forced into going home.

Brixton, people just spend with no thought of the future, then when they haven't got enough, want somebody (the tax payer) to bail them out. It infuriates me. Why the hell should pensions and benefits go up by inflation when the rest of the working population have got 2/3/4% raise if they're lucky. We're in a society where people earning but claiming child tax benefits are getting well over £1k towards cost of living. It's crazy. We've got no kids, have saved and invested like crazy over the last 10 yrs and we're in a position to stop working at 55 yrs old. We do not expect anything from anyone, we've planned well and hopefully will be ok. If only the govt and most people were the same.

I sincerely don't think anyone posting on here is qualified to give advice including me. What's your point?

If you bought this morning, get out now with 5% would be my advice.

Dowsie, either you or your com are telling porkies as you will have seen the literature we have this morning that states they don't even know the EVR terms until consulting cwu and won't know until December so you may be disappointed if you think you'll definitely get gone with £14k.

Anger, ok £125m in July, when they were making huge losses, which a good CEO shoulder surely have seen coming last winter when they paid the big payouts. Anyone in the business could see covid was a one off bonus and they went and spent it on the divi instead of the workers who got them through covid.
