Reckon it's got some momentum now, if we stay above 16 tomorrow it'll recover in a couple of days.... Provided they don't start squabbling over oil cuts again!

Upward trajectory here now.

Sorry typo meant £40k, not £40 lol

Santander isn't bad as far as banks go nowadays. If you and the Mrs both had 123 accounts you could have £40 getting 3% from April when you can earn £1000 each in tax free interest. It's Always good and prudent to have a bit of cash safe.

yeah, it comes from the sp but the sp does (mostly) recover, it just doesn't go down by the divi amount every yr or there'd be nothing left eventually. Sometimes it doesn't even go down the divi amount on ex div day either.

Look, if the poo was $27 on the way down from $28 we would be tanking, but as it's on the way up from $26 we're doing alright today. Just proves it isn't the ACTUAL poo that's governing the so here, more the direction it's travelling at any one time.

Just shows ya EVERYONE is guessing which way things are going. Even the 'experts' the ftse is becoming a gamble to a certain extent now. I'm just looking long term. Bhp aren't going out of business, they will pay a divi although 50%, things will turn upwards in time. Just wait it out.

The oversupply is caused largely by the good old us of a. A cut by opec and Iran and Russia would help the poo undoubtedly but USA are the ones who need to switch off the taps.

Maybe after the divi announcement later this month. Expected to cut 50% so see what that does, could go both ways as it's widely expected may be priced in already.

Come back up into the 28's, really needs to bounce now. Allot of fear in the markets atm. Need to keep a grip of reality, it will bounce back long term. If this crashes back down into the 12's just another great buying opportunity IMHO.

Jeez, just caught the latest on bloomerg. Thought I'd done ok with a late top up today, but if it doesn't rally late on in the US then 14.61 will look expensive tomorrow with wti at $27!

Shell held up pretty well today in light of sub $30 oil being hit today. If you look at last week when oil was at sub 30, shells sp was a quid cheaper. Maybe an ex div date coming soon is holding us up. Will be interesting to see how she goes tomorrow if oil closes in the states tonight sub 30.

Wage to pay!

That's a bit unfair, it did go down to 620 the next day after his post, as long as he bought then, he'd make a good fund manager!

Weird today how the moment USA inventories announced more oil the poo dropped for 5mins then rose more strongly than ever. Very strange. Ideas people? What's the concensus on the sp tomorrow with results.

They kinda pre announced results last week (weird) so the market kinda knows what to expect, maybe bp took a bit of heat from shell and there won't be a bad reaction to our results. This is pretty volatile at the moment, tracking poo, there was a drop of a dollar half an hr ago and shell dropped 20p in a blink.

If bp can hold their divi I think this will be ok. Hope you haven't made a mistake mate.

This mrw vs tsco theme, when it should be big 4 vs the discounters. In my experience people shop either where they prefer or where the cheapest products are or at which shop has just sent you vouchers in the post. I prefer to shop at morrisons for fresh meat and fish but don't mind admitting if sainsbury or tsco send me some vouchers I'll go there if it's gonna save a few quid. Most shop 'smart' now with things like mysupermarket.com to find the bargains. The real battle is big four together vs Aldi/lidl. Glad to see mrw, tsco and sainsbury rising as they all tend to raise each other, so let's stop squabbling boys and girls, eh.

I agree and am biding my time to top up when it's I'm the 13's again next week when the world realises there'll be not immediate cut. The yanks are just starting to feel the pinch, why would Saudi cave in now? And Iran aren't gonna budge not when they've been out the game so long. A short lived rise IMHO however a taster of what will happen when the time eventually comes, so I'm topping up next week if we get a good retrace, I was otherwise engaged at beginning of week so missed the bargain basement prices.

.....and we get a rise from shell. Ok poo rallied today after yesterday's late plummet, but when Kuwait minister is budgeting on $25 barrel for this yr and worldbank slashed their forecast for 16/17 by $14 barrel, it's a crazy world. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. There is of course the bg vote looming maybe that has something to do with the rise after a 50p fall early on. Really don't know how a yes or no vote is gonna effect the sp here. Any ideas.
