Despite strategic challenges, BP stands out as a takeover target due to market pressure. I keep added at these low prices picking up the dividend until the bids start coming in 2025 GLA

Recent speculation about BP being sold or merging has gained attention amid shifts in the energy market and internal challenges at the company. BP has faced declining profits, underperforming share prices, and governance issues. Analysts have floated the idea of a merger between BP and Shell, which would create a European oil giant capable of competing with U.S. majors like ExxonMobil and Chevron. This could offer significant cost synergies and improved shareholder returns, but it faces regulatory and political hurdles. GLA

We all know Vodafone shares have been a disaster for a number of years but I believe with the new team & the merger before Xmas will see us back in the 90’s go ho ho .The merger aims to create the UK’s largest mobile network operator, serving approximately 27 million customers. It is subject to regulatory approvals, including from the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), and is expected to close in 2024, assuming all approvals are granted so fingers crossed GLA

BP raced back to the top of the most bought list in ii investor isa list . I added again & will do again in the coming months. This is a bargain in my opinion & many other’s so ii investor said GLA

As Donald Trump marches towards the Republican nomination for President, it’s worth taking a moment to think about which companies would be most affected by four, or even eight, years of a Trump presidency.

One of the most obvious companies to benefit would be oil supermajor BP (LSE: BP). In 2015 BP brought in $74bn of its $222bn in revenue from the US, refined over 700,000 barrels of oil a day at its three refineries and operated 7,000 retail outlets in the country. Trump’s proposal to cut the headline corporate tax rate from 39% to 15% would be a huge boon for BP. Likewise, any increased tensions in the Middle East resulting from Trump’s often bellicose foreign policy positions would likely drive up crude prices to BP’s benefit. Even without Trump in the White House, BP is in good shape as downstream assets bring in record profits, operating costs come down and expenses related to the Gulf of Mexico spill slowly tail off

This was motley fool pick from 2016 went Trump got in.

Looks like I got this all wrong, I was expecting Israel to hit Iran hard & oil hit 90 to 100 . I was expecting BP to be in excess of 450 but now with oil dropping & after ex dividend day could we see 370 ? This all depends on Iran of course GLA

Well worth a look https://x.com/albert__arthur/status/1849385936187953156?s=46

Netanyahu house been attacked by an Iranian drone, this will only fire up Israel more & I don’t expect it to end well for Iran. I think oil will fly high when this attack happens so for me it’s a great time to add especially with the ex dividend fast approaching.

Netanyahu will retaliate against Iran hard, is he waiting for trump to win so he can go all guns blazing or is he waiting on the winter months for his attack? Oil will hit 100 in my opinion but I’d rather settle for peace in world & loose 10k GLA

Israel going to leave Iran’s nuclear but going to target their oil big time in my opinion, I expect a big spike in oil GLA

I believe oil will hit 100 very soon, we got the massive storm in Florida & Israel imminent revenge attack on Iran. We may not want the above to happen but we are powerless. I have just invested in BP today so let’s see how this plays out.

Things looking good with results next week. If results are positive 150 is possible in the short term GLA

Added more today with interest rates set to drop on run up to Xmas I predict we will hit 450-470 . Let’s hope I’m right GLA

When news lands this fly through 1p & even 2p like knife through butter GLA
