Quote from todays RNS :-

BHP has paid the in specie dividend and distributed Woodside shares today in line with the details described in BHP's announcement on 20 May 2022. As a result, BHP has now distributed Woodside shares to eligible BHP shareholders.

I'm with ii too. No sign of Woodside shares yet. Having said that, it often shows up sometime in the afternoon.

I'm keeping a watchful eye on this issue, as ii do not have a good track record with BHP, since they demerged from the FTSE100. For example, they don't automatically re invest the dividend any more.

So, big day tomorrow, we all get Woodside shares.

I'm unsure to accept or not, any thoughts on the matter? If not accept, it's a sell.....

So, how much tax will we eventually pay ?

Answer, 25% of not a lot. It certainly doesn't seem to have spooked the share price. I think the government have their pound of flesh. Let's move on ....

Gary59, you think BP will drop to £3.65 ???? Give or take, that's a 20% drop.

So, why is a non BP holder doing on this board ? Let alone de ramping the share. Looks like you didn't take your £3.73 option. Shame, you would be well up by now, as well as getting the latest div. Trying to drive the price down, is not going to work.

What was the cut off date for holding BHP shares to become eligible for Woodside shares please?

I believe it's today.

New shares issued on 1st June

Very good article about Hydrogen in general :- https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-61406077

Reported where ?

Probably not .....

A few weeks ago they were calling it a buy.

How times change ....

meoryou,

Been there, done that (and will continue to do so, as the years tick by)

There has been a lot of talk lately about dividends and re investments, so I thought I would have a look back and see what the position is.

Let me say first, I have been a holder of BP, since 2018, so this is as far back as my records go. I keep all BP share and dividend data in an Excel spreadsheet, so this is my source data. Please feel free to comment if you think my reasoning is wrong (we all make mistakes sometimes). The numbers rounded up or down to the nearest whole number.

So, to begin. If you bought shares back in 2018, as I did, and re invested them in
12-2018, they are 16% down.
3-2019 25% down
6-2019 26% down
9-2019 20% down
12-2019 14% down
3-2020 37% up
6-2020 30% up
9-2020 79% up
12-2020 53% up
3-2021 39% up
6-2021 39% up
9-2021 24% up
12-2021 28% up
3-2022 9% up

Happy days

Erm, that's 2022 ????

Zac, I find this an unusual time to sell, 3 days before ex divi you being a long term holder. Must have cost you a lot of guaranteed payout from BP

Your fears of Shell of BP falling when POO falls to more "normal" levels is a very long way off, and if this is so, surely time to sell Shell too?

Terraplane,

What a bleak picture you paint. It makes me wonder why BP is going into the making Hydrogen business ?

Not quite Hydrogen related, (but could be)

See link here ;-https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10792271/Boom-wind-solar-power-huge-surplus-electricity-waste-2030.html.

Now tell me if I'm wrong, but to make hydrogen, you need electricity, surely these 2 items can be liked.

How to convert excess wind power (which can't be stored easily) into stored hydrogen, which can be fairly easily stored.

I'm no scientist, but there must be a way, surely ?

Pure luck. They send out so many emails, some of them hit people who used to own shares.

After all ,how many people used to own shares in these very large, very popular shares.

Answer, millions.

Don't lose any sleep over it.

3rd May

Oh dear, Mr Grumpy.

No Easter eggs for you .............

Woke up this morning, knew it was Friday, but couldn't work out why the market was so flat, then the penny dropped, it's Easter Friday.

Roll on Tuesday ......

Drop ? BP on FTSE100 @3.915 up 8.6p (2.3%)
