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 .
