Meoryou,it's only banter.Politicians,lawyers and journalists are all made from the same cloth.

Aboot 6 miles from me.I pass though it often on my way to Livvie. I see you said your hubby worked in oil. I worked for Exxonmobil for 28 years (Mossmorran Fife)

Spights ---- near Edinburgh.That's as close as I am saying in case the snp nutters track me doon.

'I’m Scottish and we have wee Jimmy Crankie leading the country.'' When she was young her nickname was 'seaweed'. She was that ugly even the tide widny take her out.

''It’s what you do with it after that usually causes problems, as it’s so easy to lose it again by bad timing.'' meoryou,have you been peeping at my portfolio?.

After close of play yesterday ex d was done and dusted.Waiting for the market to open this morning was neither here nor there.

I see I have had a post removed from yesterday. Somebody is very sensitive .

''Their currency is healthy.'' ??? They price it high to get more conversion rates for the oil as it has to be bought in roubles.But, the west is not buying. (well most of the west.)

''I will most likely wait until after XD before I take a position ''. You don't have much option, the ex d has happened.

'' i wouldn't trust her to put the bins out once a week '' The bin men are on strike up here.

''hope I don't have buyer's remorse in the morning ''.These were tipped in weekend paper and had a 3 day losing streak up to ex d.Some tip.

''you can really feel we've turned the corner.''.I take that was said tongue in cheek.

This ''when do I qualify for the divi '' question pops up all over the boards.If peeps do not know the answer to this, should they be buying shares?.

''The share buybacks force the price higher which rewards shareholders in a more tax efficient way.''
Sekforde,the theory is sound but the reality does not always show it.

''That’s short hand for it’s too early on Saturday morning to go and calculate it.'' Well at the present 5p per quarter the sp would be £5.That will do fine.

''Buybacks are mathematically the same as paying a dividend. BP is by far the highest yielding stock in the FTSE 100.''
If the buybacks ere all paid out in cash then ,the divy would be 83.5p per annum.I think Baz would rather have the money.

'' is the share price really that important. I would be just as happy at 350p. Once it gets towards 600p it gives me problems.'' why exactly do you own these?.I don't believe you.

Just sold a slice at 447.3.My reasoning is that 450p might trigger a sell off. I am still top heavy with these and need to change tactics,. Will I regret it?, possibly. c'est la vie.

'Rubbish. BP tracked Shell at 4x, as anyone can check on the historical data pre Covid.'' Taa for that .5 times it was tho.

Historical sp's, Shell was always ~5 times BP.It seems that they are back in cynch.
