The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
Well i topped up again yesterday. though i didnt think the chance would present itself so quickly. oil falling back steadily day by day. over to OPEC + meeting sunday to try to arrest the current slide. think they will try to get it back above 70$ asap. either way i dont expect to be selling any shares in the coming weeks. sit tight , take the divi + see how things pan out. jobs report + FED updates should drag sp up or down, though it looks like the debt ceiling has become a rather damp squib. £21 b4 £24. well i know which i think. good luck , its a good buying opp for people looking to get back in + for a !st time buyer. good luck everyone. at least the weathers picking up.
Hi , just did a small top up. im pretty sure it will go down more, so im looking for £22 60ish next. its been a impasse of late, but when a share as no real direction, a fall is usually the way it goes. in truth its been the faangs + nvidia that have been the performers of late. the divi increase didnt get a mention at the AGM, unsurprisingly, but the article did say it could happen at capitol markets day on June 14 th , where it suggested a 20-30 % rise in divi over next 2 years , {laugh now} time will tell, but im not expecting it to happen.a month till divi, hooray.
hi. not sure how i feel after todays news. a little happier it didnt tank, but the rise was short lived. i will wait until after x divi to do a few small top ups. looking for around £22 , but maybe the buy backs might stop it falling to low. the lack of divi leaps off the page. new c e o says he wants to help shareholders. easy, up the divi. the worst thing is the dollar as fallen so much, that the last divi rise still hasnt made a lot of difference. shell awash with cash, but if boards isnt gonna raise divi in this period, when will they. shell + even more so BP look good buys at current levels for long term players. lets hope the brokers are correct in saying oil will hit 90$ in the summer. time will tell. im gonna have to take the divi till sp improves back to £25 +, but that could be a little way off i feel.
well i remember now why i dont like BP reporting results first. that was a huge fall. no divi rise too. one of the top brass at BP said hes trying to bring BP SP inline with exxon + chevron SP. i thought a good divi rise would help. it seems that huge opec cut a few weeks back as acted as a catalyst for oil price + SP rollercoaster ..they say its the hope that kills you , but my hope for £25 by thursday, now looks forlorn. anyway tomorrows another day, as someone once said. maybe a 4% divi rise will save the day. shell + BP still a good buy, as they still producing big profits. maybe buybacks will help in SP not falling back to far going forward. take the divi for now. good luck everyone for tomorrow.
well its nearly results day. chevron + exxon had huge /obscene profits depending on who your media outlet is. exxon did more share buy bays + up divi. both sp went up. over to bp tomorrow. should shine show light for thursdays update. boyobach, you want to start charging for all this chart information. youd be mited. though dont charge a few regular posters. hoping for £25 by thursday night. time will tell.
hi everyone. well its usually around this time , with results just around the corner, that we get what my brother calls rampers day. a big fall out the blue occurs of around 70pish. boyobachs charts usually are a great help in understanding all angles. but with oil down sharply again today, it seems odd that SP as held up quite well. i added a few today, but ive only 1 tiny play left, so hoping it holds steady to may 4th. the inflation cpi this week didnt help + china is difficult to know where their cv19 opening up really stands. i saw that article about shell upping divi by 20%ish. well i really cant see that, but i think BP report on 2nd may, so maybe they will give a insight as to what shells results + divi, buybacks intentions are. and if bp SP goes up. its odd to see how oil price went up about 8 dollars + yet petrol prices were down. perhaps someone with more insight to how the fuel system works. its a little baffling. with oil down by 5+ dollars, i fully expect fuel price to edge to 135p+ ish. time will tell. if SP gets near £25 b4 results , i feel it will fall on results as its year high is just over £26. results cant come soon enough for me. its like countdown to xmas for kids. hope everyone is doing well with their buys.
well it certainly was oh yes opec + not oh heck. yes boyobach your correct , SP hasnt risen back to pre banking mess levels. so there could be more rise yet. sold a few to day + bought a few back on later falls. most observers on cnbc now calling oil higher well into 2024. its usaully around now , 4 weeks from updates + results , shell give a snippet of the upcoming results , that usaully send SP up or down by about 60-80 p. well im buying or selling if that occurs. hope others are trading well. im trying to trade busily b4 the banking mess returns in some guise. hope not , but time will tell. good luck everyone.
Hi boyobach, hope you are keeping well + trading well. another big fall again this morning , so it seems it would be a good get in get out share atm. i was listening to a cnbc analyst , who said whenever the FED have had historic high interest rates , theres always been a fallout out in a certain area every time , back to the 1970s. this time this bamk mess . ive topped up my last for now. im still fearful the cvb mess will return going forward. these interest rates are good for ISAs investors, but its a bit late now , im all in here. oil down again today, so these levels havent been seen for 15 months or more. not long till results , but this year things certainly look more challenging. have a good weekend.
Hello Everyone. well i guess we wont have to worry about any WFT in the next few months. this new banking mess as sprung from no where , but for some reason has dragged oil down in the process .i topped up down to £22 , but id be amazed if the banking mess dosent rear its ugly head soon. soi am holding back , but id say below £20 would be on the cards. the FED seem totally out of touch with the real world + seem to be causing more problems than they solve. that pratt powell wouldnt last 5 minutes on the streets of birmingham. inflation still up again in britain this morning. only time will tell how the next few months go, but with a cretin like powell overseeing the monetary + fiscal policies of the biggest economy on the planet i have huge doubts. time as ever, will tell. will try to sell as many as i can , then reavaluate from there. good luck everyone.
well that was a interesting few days. ive topped up + have bit left for a few more. as per usual it took its time falling back, but these prices look very good, if recent oil price is anything to go by. good also for people looking to invest their divi next . I wonder if SP will rise just b4 divi day. it normally does. the buybacks seem to have stopped , during this fall . £22 or £24 , which comes next i wonder. enjoy your divi people.and i dont me me hahaha
well , a most pleasant few weeks for most of us. nice to hear the biggest problem is to hold or sell. ive sold a few + waiting for a little rise to sell a few more , but i feel its best to hold a few just incase it runs on after after wednesday, as it did last year. plus a little divi wont go a miss. i now feel anything around £24 is a screaming buy. i hope to but a few back on the dips, though it may take a good few weeks to drop back to below £25 50. oil expected to rise going forward , so that should help us this year , where £27 + looks a distinctly possible. good luck everyone, whatever you decide .
well that was mad. like most i was expecting a rise from usa on thursday afternoon. luckily i sold a few just b4. still not sure why it crashed. expected a rise yesterday on the back of the broker upgrades from such brilliant results. id love to see £25 by ex divi, but its just to manic atm to have a clue. oil still falling , so maybe some buying opps next week too. good luck if you hold bp for tuesday to. if oil does rise into the summer , we should be in a good place to take advantage . good luck everyone.
well still the frustrating period occurs. results should push it up or down on thursday. chevron announced a 75 billion buy back the day b4 results + went up 5 % , only to miss estimates slightly + fall next day. still alot can happen b4 thursday . cpi on wednesday could move markets up or down bigtime. plus a opec meeting this week i think. every oil observer on bloomberg + cnbc , have stated they expect oil to hit 90-100$ by 2nd quarter. so that should help long term holders. good luck everyone for thursday.
hi , welcome. my thoughts for what their worth are , shell just has a mind of its own. just when you think its gonna take off, the opposite occurs. when it does go, it goes like a rocket. but waiting for take off is frustrating in the extreme. lots to like, but you can never take things for granted. no one can tell you which way oil price will go, no one. but more importantly, no one can predict how SP will go with results. with SP below last years high, by about £2ish, i expect a rise, if it remains at these levels. but others may be better placed to give better insight . hope it goes well for you going forward.
well it looks like the americans have finally woken up to all the bad economic data + the sell off has begun. plus it being davos week, which isnt normally a good week for energy , weve pulled back. well ive topped up + will carry on if it falls more. 2 weeks till results.
Hi everyone. nice to see some made a quick profit of late. lets hope it lasts a little while yet. i made a tiny amount yesterday, well all helps. bought a few back on the sudden dip. cpi this afternoon, which most say inflation will ease somewhat, but most of it as been factored in.my next tranche is for £24 60 ish, but if we hit £25 + before results . i feel there will be a downturn. i have all my funds from hsbc ready for any such fall, though hsbc seems to have bolted. well it cant go up for ever. good trading everyone. you have to make the most of the rise , because wasnt it 3 years ago cv19 reared its ugly head. it wouldnt be the end of the world if it does fall back on results day, what with the bigger than normal divi rise, though the falling dollar as taking a bit of gloss off , as the dollar is in freefall. usa, germany + china , are
very resilient financial countries, + always pick them shelves off the canvas. big recession , small recession , mild robust , no one can tell . id guess those countries are already in one. but just keep playing the blah blah blah. its like cv19 + brexit , total different views day in day out. their was no brexit , remember all that hard soft , where the stock markets went up 800 points , only to plummet the next day 600 points. so no one knows , so do what works for you. thats all for now folks. if anyone has any other share tips , please feel free to say. i see tesco + sainsbury got a kicking again from the discounters, though sainsburys sales held up quite well.
well that was a odd week. big rise , falls back, nise rise. i sold a few + bought a few back on drop. nice to hear boyobach made a quick buck. it makes it sweeter when that happens so quickly. . ive now sold my holdings in hsbc, which surged on the china reopening. so im now waiting for this to shoot on or this + hsbc to go back +ill add. yet again cnbc reported the results update in a negative way, highlighting the WFX part. the smug slimy steve sedgewick as long done this . whereas over on bloomberg . a total opposite views given to shells update, where they put a good spin on the gas prices in the last qtr. if shell gets near £25 b4 results , i expect it to fall on results day, conversley, if its still around £23 i expect sp to rise. no one seems to know how bad the recession in usa will be , so its a bit like brexit, try to make it work for you on the ups + downs. just my thoughts. have a good week everyone.
hi , yes its a hard one to call atm. ive 1 last top up left , but id prefer a good rise to results. but its shell , so very hard to call. i put some funds in hsbc , which is now recovering as china says its now reopening, which should help both shell + hsbc. it can be a problem trying to find another good share to play. hope it goes well for you Topher in 2023. good luck.
