CP52, my glass might just be above half full.There is a smell of vaccine in the air,SG are on the cusp of production.Scotland are in the finals of a big tournament.Oil prices are on the way back and possibly a return to Benidorm next year.What's not to like?.

Duncan, you are very knowledgeable for a new feller,welcome aboard.

''BP is paying 8 per cent and the 52 week high is 517p. Where do you get a better deal?''But when it gets back to 517p the yield will be 3%

''Then you have the fact that he will be stopping Shale wells on Government land. '' Lawyers will tie that up in court for a decade.

''Yeah Boyo, I'm taking opportunity to cash in on the BP, RDSB divs. Bought £3500 BP before ex div at £1.95, sold on Ex date at £2.07, bought RDSB at £9.70 and will sell on Ex div date, collecting both divs in December. ching!!'' So you are due approx.£70 in BP divi and will collect the same from RDS. Seems a lot of bother and risk for not a lot of reward. Still, each to his own.

''What on earth is an anti node'', they hate nodes lol

''BP up in USA. All good for Friday.''Aye ,ended at 201p in US.Don't get too excited.

Ok berni, I apologise for my mistake.I have been investing for 35 years and never heard of this,we live and learn.

Sterling cash dividend per ordinary share announcement date 7-Dec-20

''Already have done ..lol''.so your broker has given money that has not been paid? very generous of them.Stil if you say so.

KOTB, so you think you can remove that money from your account today and spend it?.

''Odd, because I already got the divi added to my account and I could sell my length now, and still keep the divi.''-------------------------------------------you are talking nonsense if you think the divi is already yours.It might show up provisionally in your account but it still has to be paid first which is not 100% guaranteed.

KOTB, BP are still within their rights to cancel the divi so I very much doubt if you could get hold of that money at the moment.

''Odd, because I already got the divi added to my account and I could sell my length now, and still keep the divi.''-------------------------------------------you are talking nonsense.

''Oil price up.Big divi tomorrow.'' Eh? ex divi you mean. Divi late December.

Rockhead, my glass is always half full but it is not always apparent. Tell me this,why are people obsessed with buys/sells ? in the long term it matters not one jot.A wee bit concern of mine is the sp at the moment,it minds me of the planning consent a decade ago ie the good news is priced in. I hope not. Benidorm seems a long time ago, will we ever get there again?

''On a more positive note, I'm looking forward to the news flow as we get nearer and nearer to the gold pore and the associated publicity. i still have a target of 200p once this news starts to break.''

I think the gold pour will be even more exciting.

''Putting 1bn in perspective - my definition is that it represents the number of minutes in 3,000 years''-------nope,only 2000 years.

The Dow closed at 8pm not 9.The Yanks have not changed the clocks yet.

lodan,I actually got that about the 6p but thought I was missing something.This is pure wishful thinking and play no parts in reality. BP will not raise the divi for a long time.
