Hi. Careful. That kind of negative comment will get the positive police on here on your case. I suspect your correct in your assumption but for all those who can't live in the real world what the hell do you think your doing. You've been warned

I'd stick to concentrating on your own posts & the ever falling share price. You just can't handle the truth or reality of the situation. As the saying goes, if you can't take the heat don't go in the kitchen. I'll carry on posting as & when I see fit. Happy dividend day. I'd enjoy it because things are taking a turn for the worse. But you just stick your head in the sand & pretend there's a magic wand . Unfortunately there isn't.

Hi. Don't think you'll get many opportunities to buy on the way up at present. This has been going slowly down for a good few weeks. What happened to Putin's vaccine. Their is no vaccine. No vaccine no big rise in RDS & many others. The banks are finished as far as major profits go. People losing their jobs got no chance of paying morgage, loans, car loans etc etc. That all filters down to fuel buying. Buying goods across the board. That's the harsh reality of cv19.

I see rolls Royce are rumoured to be having a rights issue. The start of a few I'd suggest. Can't see have some companies have much choice than go down this option.

Hi. Well I agree with the 2/3 year period, but. But as for pre vivid share price no chance of that whatsoever.
I see motley Fool ran an article about shell & whether it would be ever £20 again & saying it would, maybe quicker than most seem to think. I think "fool" just about somes up that company & their assessments on RDS & most other companies they comment on. These people living be in fantasy land. More chance of Aston villa qualifying for champions league in the next 2 years than RDS getting back to £20.

Thx for the reppys. Thx but no thx. I believe it's democratic to let people say as they wish, good bad or ugly on these BBss, is it not. Therefore I shall post as & when I deem fit & as often has I wish. If that's upsets you, well tough. Filter away, but I take not one bit of notice of your drivel. I predicted the dividend cut. I still think the dividend may well go all together, though not certain. Likewise I think a rights issue is a possibility going forward if cv19 carries on into late. 2021. I've predicted this won't make £16 this year or £19 next. If you don't agree, that's fine. But why oh why should I do what you want. So I'll keep posting & you do as you wish. . You keep sticking your heads in the sand. Only time can prove me wrong. How I'd love to be wrong, but I doubt it, bigtime. That's democracy folks.

And no doubt you will carry on reading my posts. Says it all really. You Mock them yet read them. You say their repetitive, yet you read them. You say their inaccurate, yet you still read them. So what does that say about you. As I've said before , I'll keep posting as & when I wish in the hope that the penny will drop. Because as sure as eggs is eggs, you'll all come around to my way of thinking. Mark my words. Oh and imitation is the biggest form of flattery. So a huge thanks.

Hi, no one forces you to read mine or anybody else's comments. Filter away if you can't stomach someone having a opinion you don't like. Typical of today's people. We don't like what he writes so let's all gang up on him to try to silence him. Typical English spineless mentality. If I was on here talking up RDS everyday you couldn't get enough of it. Why should I post so called positive comments just to please people who can't face the truth. It's not your BB or mine. If you can't handle that then filter away, as is your right. But I shall carry on telling my opinions whether you like them or not. And no amount of snide comments will deter me. Carry on burying your head in the sand. As I told them on the Vodafone BB, you'll all come around to my way of thinking in the end. The same I think will occur here.

Differing opinions are what these boards are about. I have mine, everyone else has theirs. But as I keep saying, I've held shares in Barclays, Lloyds, Sainsbury's, Tesco & Vodafone & they all went pear shaped to differing degree's. And on their respective BB people were spouting the same guff, when the turnaround comes. Well 13 years on from banking crisis banks have gotten worse with ppi & cv19 putting them out their misery. Supermarkets war put paid to Tesco & Sainsbury's ripping shoppers off, as also & Lidl knock the crap out of them. Vodafone lost in the telecom price war & a suicide mission to India, bit like BG for RDS. So the signs are not good. So to me the question is why will RDS & BP buck the trend. It took miners 4 years so that kind of duration would make more sense to me. The dell boys of this time next year are in total denial. But that's their opinion. Time will prove either way. But take all look at any of the above mentioned stocks BBs & you'll read doom & gloom. That's the reality. If the dividend holds at these levels , things hopefully will stabilize & maybe in time improve somewhat. If dividend is cut again, doesn't bear think about. Plus c e o doesn't give a monkeys toss about share price. As I know only to well the small shareholders mean jack to the board & they are paid to make big decisions. Is anyone really that delusional to think van burden cares about us. Get real.

Just don't see what changing c e o will make at present. I feel a period of calm & consolidation is needed now. Aston are a crap run club. Going no where fast. So they will change manager, board, chief executive, but nothing changes . The club is crap. Don't get me wrong, I don't like van the man, but other than share buy backs, most decisions by the board have been good imo. As he become a burden, Larsen the pun, no imo. Stability is needed now. Changing chairs on the Titanic, though not that extreme comes to mind .

Most analyst, stock broker will tell you that you buy shares for a 3-5 year period. For me personally that has never worked. My advice is to share hop with a few shares. Though luck plays a huge part. All my shares I bought did well for a while. Then bang. No matter what anyone says buying shares is a gamble. Your betting on a share going up. Theres no research you can do for world events like September 11th, banking crisis, covid crisis. You just never know what's around the corner. Other than when your share has gone pear shaped it's a ruddy long way back, if ever.

Yes, it's a good point with the miners. Their not for the faint hearted. But now back in favour. Sometimes you just get lucky. I don't follow the miners closely but know they fluctuate quickly. Don't know if they cut the dividends back then. To be balanced with RDS, the 8 points I raised, not one was caused by shell itself. Good cost cutting measures a few years back was very helpful. Maybe the share buybacks were not great, but going forward it will save alot of dividend outlay. So I don't see how changing c e o or board would be just a cosmetic move. That said, as you state you bought bhp in 2015 & it took 4 years to sell. So time to sit tight & hope the world can deal with the on going problems. And one day it's oil stocks that return to decent previous levels.

Hi, well if USA continues its sell off next week most shares will fall. Not just tech. I don't see any chance of £18 90 this year or next. Too many challenges faced RDS for them to turn things around within that timescale.
1, no vaccine for cv19
2, huge fallout of problems from cv19
3, oil price can not get beyond $44
4, huge glut of oil
5, many geo political & macro problems that are gonna take ages to overcome, if ever.
6, dividend has been cut by 66%
7, still no Brexit
8, RDS profits were in steady decline prior to all the above began to happen.
As I said before the parellels with Vodafone were huge. A glimpse of that message board is total dispondacey, which I believe will be replicated on this board going forward. Unless dividend is raised or oil price jets up to 80$ , then these low levels will become the norm, just like Vodafone, Tesco, Sainsbury's, bt. Etc etc. People can disagree as theirs alot of del boys around, this time next year . Yeah right. That's my take on the reality of the situation. £18.90 , more chance of Aston villa getting into the champions league before this gets to that price imo. Hope I'm wrong in my accessment. But I can't think of any share that has recovered in less than 3-5 years from the position RDS now finds its self in. Hope I'm wrong, but I doubt I will be.

Hi, £15 next year based on what. People are hoping for the best ATM. And that's where this share is ATM. People saying let's hope for a better day tomorrow, next week , next month, next year. Just based on hope because that's all we have with this share ATM. People buying in at these levels will do well overtime. £15 looks a real long way away to me. I once said when Vodafone was around £ 75 it might never be £2 again. We'll take a look at share price since. So laugh if you may, but this may never see £20 again in our life time. But no doubt the dell boysers, this time next year, will not agree. It's a really hard slog for a good while imo. Stock markets in USA at all times high, so imagine if a big sell off occurs. Doesn't bear thinking about. Let's hope for a better decade .

£5, it certainly would if I topped up my holding & that's a fact. As I stated b4 I'd be pleased to stay around these levels till next update in November. Then see how USA election plays out. Just have to take dividend in the meantime, though the ever falling dollar only compounds things even more. People seem to think that RDS will soon be plain sailing & seem to disregard the 2/3 dividend cut, a oil price stuck at 40$, plus RDS profits have been significantly written down recently & in truth the profits have been in steady decline for nearly 18 months. Then cv19 still killing people, no vaccine. Still no Brexit, yet in the midst of all this fiasco people think RDS will suddenly break out & be sailing above £16 & more. They are in denied. So unless a vaccine is found, or something happens to drive oil price above 80$ a barrel , or RDS astionsh everyone & raise dividend , or a takeover or merger for RDS is mooted, these levels , or below will be the norm for a long time. See Tesco, Vodafone, Saintsbury for confirmation. But many will bury their head in the sand & think it will all be fine in a year. Reality tells me it won't be. Time will tell.

Take it from me, motley fools & quester the worst analyst predictions ever. Whenever they gave Vodafone has their share to buy at the start of the year, it tanked bigtime. I take no notice of analysis from brokers. Fools says it all. Many many brokers had RDS at £27_£32 not so long back. Couldn't pick their nose, nevermind shares.

It's interesting how many people go with gut feeling or just a hunch & they are proven right in the long run. Yet analysts & brokers the so called experts are more often than not proven wrong. It's such a difficult guess as this cv19 hasn't been around before so how it plays out , again is how longs a piece of string. Still no vaccine in sight, so it isn't going anytime soon. Brexit bulls--t still going on & on. Over on the cbvfn BB a poster said he as a hunch RDS will be back at £20 b4 to long. A reply said only if a oil prices at £85-100$ for a sustainable period would enable that. Or dividend hikes which some have suggested on different platforms could come in 2021. Or takeover or merger will get share price in that region. Anything can happen in oil regions to get oil prices moving up but as for dividend hikes & takeover, merger, just can't see it, so while this will be a gud buy at £11, £16 is a very long way off imo.

I was walking today out in Dudley where I came across the Netherton tunnel. It's nearly a mile long. If I didn't have my mobile light I'd never have made it. But like RDS it was painstaking slow going, with half of the tow paths flooding upto 3 inches of water. You can see the exit at the entrance to the tunnel, but the more you walk into it the further the light at the end became.im no spring chicken & at the start my mobile light had zero effect but I finally emerged out into the light. The relief was palpable. That's the same type of relief I'll feel should RDS get to £16 within a year hence.

If, and it's a big if RDS gets back to £16 next year sometime I'm thinking of selling most my holding, then try to get in & out as many times as I can. But of course my sentiments may change if £16 does happen. Time will tell. Try to make the best of a difficult situation. While dividend is at these levels now, £16 is the most realistic price within a timeline of a year.

Yes, I certainly have mentioned it before. And for new people who have bought RDS, no doubt I shall bring it to their attention, when they ask why share price is underperforming. I recall when I held Vodafone, owners kept saying one day we'll have jam on it. Vodafone owners now haven't bread, nevermind jam. People keep saying it will all come right for RDS, just be patient. But that's exactly what shareholders of the above mentioned stocks kept saying & look at their share price ATM. It just isn't that simple. Why is shell & BP gonna buck the trend. Without a hike in dividend or big oil prices rise they won't & RDS is stuck in these low share prices as are the others who cut dividend. It's not rocket science.
