If you had a brain you'd realize we have left in name only. Plus there is no democracy in UK or USA. One rule for the establishment & one rule for the rest of us, period. Your living in some fantasy world.
Well if you had a brain, you'd have worked out the establishment of Britain do no want Brexit that's why they have put ever spoke in the wheel to prevent it. There is no Brexit just some fudged deal where very little has changed. Just a little cosmetic padding. Those thickos who voted to leave wasted their time & their shoe leather.
Thx boyobach. Seems very odd in this day & age.
Well surely in a country has brain dead as America they have shifts.
Why, if it's true have some states stopped counting votes. I can only think it has something to do with trump when he tried to ban postal votes. Teach him a lesson. Why would they stop counting the votes.
Perhaps trump has won & their making him sweat & gurn for as long as possible. Or conversely Biden has won & their trying to think of a way to make trump go as quietly as is humanly possible. That's my take for what it's worth.
Not sure why SP fell back once DOW opened but I heard Jim Cramer on CNBC say analysts saying BP & Shell undervalued , "give me a break " . I couldn't grasp all his jargon, but he did say markets will drop whatever the election result, then climb. We will see. But at least we're still up today. Let's hope to break the £10 barrier asap.
Well things have certainly picked up, I'm glad to see. Seems to be positive news all around, which has been in very short supply over the last few months. At least theirs a decent buffer now from the lows. Let's hope for the share rise to continue.
Quite frankly I think Barclays & yourself are getting carried away by the update. £20 by this time next year. More chance of Aston villa signing Messi. It's a long road back with all the macro problems that have yet to be sorted. It's great that things are looking brighter , but any talk of £15 & over is pure folly anytime soon. Talking of Aston villa. Theirs something of interest on antiques roadshow this week that may interest fans. The oldest thing seen on the show. Baffled experts. Finally they realised it was Aston villas trophy cabinet. It's the way I tell em..
Hi all. 2 good days & a bit more optimistic about long range forecast from CEO. Talk is cheap. Let's hope he can walk the walk. Speaking about the way ahead. Can some one please estimate how long , roughly, it will take RDS to reduce debt to 65 million. I know it's a difficult question. But just wanted to know from people more informed, as to what their guess would be. Be great for SP just to get back to double figures in the short term.
Yes a nice rise. But Dow futures look bleak. Will end the day flat or slightly down. Some markets nearly down 10%, so hopefully things will now settle down.
Will be extremely interested with shells next update in early February 2021. I wonder how cv19 situation will be then & what impact it will be incurring on financial markets.
Well a nominal rise in dividend is most welcome, more for its sentiments than the cash elements. Various buerdan was more relaxed today in his manner. But under the mess of the world ATM he was extremely bullish, I thought. Would I buy shell today. Ummmm, big tech reports tonight in USA. Trump v Biden now only days b4 we know. I expect quite a few analyst companies to suggest RDS as a "buy" over the next week. But of course sods law states that with cv19 updates getting worriedly worse by the hour, stock markets selling off bigtime, I would hold fire till the cv19 lockdown picture clears. If Biden wins, many suggest a lockdown in USA is a gimme. Trump , the reverse. Here, back over 300 deaths yesterday & cases going through the roof, I believe a wait & see approach would be best. That's my take. But I must say , I'm pleased with today's update overall. A small glimmer of hope of a flicker of light at the end of a long tunnel. If I was a younger man, then taking a 5 year view this could be a nice little earner,. Especially if the dividend keeps rising year on year. Let's hope it does however small. We have hope .
Well , new lows. No buffer now. All the macro issues that pokerchips stated 4 months back are still to the fore. Ok trump v Biden should be done soon, but that apart it's a very bleak picture. Many many people will top up, then be on here saying how they wished they'd waited. If this fall's sharply tomorrow I fear it's game over for any full recovery. As I've said many times , this has all the hallmarks of Vodafone . People keep topping up only for it to keep falling. What's that saying about never try to catch a falling knife. Vodafone back near £1. No doubt the dell Boyer's will be harping on about this time next year. Once a share falls to a certain level & dividend is cut it's very very rare for it to recover to previous levels. EG Tesco, by, Sainsbury's & yes you've guessed it Vodafone. As I have always said 1 by 1 you'll come around to my way of thinking. This will just meander along going nowhere. If it goes up 40p & 35p & 50p in 3 days people will start crowing on here, only for it to reverse back down in a few days. That's the reality of where this share is right now.
Batten down the hatches time I think.
Well But reports not bad results & beat estimates, rises a bit they flat lines. Some positive things, but the markets just don't like the oil industry ATM so it's batten down the hatches time. Dividend kept at same level I believe.
It's said the stock markets hate uncertainty. But day in & day out theirs masses of articles from all concerned & sources speculating, if, could, might, what if, maybe on the future of everything connected to the markets & this perpetuate the very thing they can't abide. Uncertainty. There's only one certainty, the speculating of everything will continue. Best to disregard most of it. If the stock market has shown me one thing , it's that no one anywhere knows what happens after today. Tomorrow never knows. Nice rise today. Hope it holds & continues up to results.
Probably because BP didn't cut its dividend in 1st quarter like RDS. Long hard road back from here
Maybe media trying their hardest to stop trump being re-elected but feel that would suit oil better just for the lack of uncertainty. Remember trump was trailing Clinton 4 years back & that showed how the media lied through their teeth.
People on advfn talking £8 down to £5, if dividend cut again. Next Thursday will need to be convincing to the markets . The containgo oil sales last time didn't convince them, so let's see what rabbit van burden can pull out the hat this time. I won't hold your breath. People saying when there's a vaccine & when aplanes are at near normal levels, but that's way off imo. So things can only decline somewhat till then. USA stimulus may give brief pause, but other than that it's a bleak outlook. Hope their wrong.
Hi, hope your well. Only hope your assessment is a good one. BP below £2. These are really uncertain times.
