There's no magic wand here. Shells profits were in free fall prior to the OPEC mess & covid 19. The last 5 updates have been quite poor. So these 2 problems will have excesbate the losses. So the upcoming update on 30th April should give a better indication of where were heading for the next 6 months or so. Will the dividend remain. Will they pay in scrips dividend. But whatever happens it's gonna take probably till next year for all the fallout of the 2 problems of the past 2 months to filter through. But as I always say you never know what's around the corner. All I hear on Bloomberg & CNBC is in 6 months time. 2020 was according to analysts was gonna be brilliant compared to 2019. Indeed shell as been saying for ages from 2021 to 2025 it intended to return billions to shareholders. We'll talk is cheap. Let's she if they walk the walk. Can Der burden said about the dividend 3 months ago, and I quote.shell intend to grow the dividend going forward. But when pressed by Mr Smith on CNBC , he said , well it will depend on the macro conditions. Well theacro conditions have altered somewhat in anybody's book. So let's see if they walk the walk.

I believe the OPEC meeting is due for 4 po pm best. So whatever the outcome I suppose the footsie can't act till next Tuesday. Alot can happen before then. So will be interesting how it plays out come Tuesday.

Trump & Doris have overwhelming failed to lead their respective countries . I recall trump saying he wanted America back up & running by easter. Mind you he didn't say which easter. Totally out of touch with the reality of the situation.As their popularity gone up in the past 2 months. Have they led from the front & gained universal admiration from others. Their snail like reactions to the coronavirus implications has been alarming. Germany have been testing ages ago. Have Doris or USA , no. Have they organised the supply of vital protection equipment ,, no. How long did it take them to get companinies to make testing kits & ventilatiors for all concerned or organise their purchase. Bloody ages. No they didn't , not till they were shamed into doing so.Have they their finger on the pulse. The answer to all those is no. Look how long Doris took to close schools. A child of a friend was telling their dad that was the thing to do7 weeks ago. I could go on & on about their total limitations as political leaders. Tramp is interested in making money for himself & many others in u a a. Doris is interested in making money for himself and his mega rich cronies in the Tory party. They don't give a jot about people in real need or the people suffering real hardship. Bring back the non entity that was Obama. At least he tried to help the less wealthy, even if he was instantly forgetable and had the personality of a paper clip. I'd even back Corbyn to have achieved more for people in the firing line, I E , the n h s staff. They are both unbelievable out of their depth because they've never been exposed to hardship, poverty or strife so have zero understanding of it or anyone who has. Looks like shell is on the slide again.

I've never voted for no politicians ever & never will. None of them can be trusted. During this pandemic both tramp & Boris have been nothing short of useless. Their not leaders. Rabbits in the headlights both of them who surround themselves with yes men, who'll agree no matter what.
I heard that covid-19 as been tested for Boris Johnson. There's no cure for him + that's a fact. Slimey git.

President tramp a liar. Why do you think he gets on so well with Boris. Cut from the same cloth. Lying scheming treacherous scum both of them. Lie through their teeth day in day out. I recall just over a year ago when shell was £26 40ish. Tramp tweeted the oil prices were much to high. Next 3 days oil price plummeted hugely. So did shell share price. So it works both ways , the tramp tweeting his crap. Thank goodness Boris hasn't got the intellectual intelligence to use Twitter. Let's all be glad for small mercies.
Nice rise though due to tramps lies.
Nice to see the on going rise.

Don't worry I'm still here. Just browsing ATM. £35 to £40 , in the future. Don't think too many of the shareholders will be alive if that day ever arises. Certainly not when I'm holding the share. Things looking slightly better. Let's see what the update brings on the 30th April . Should give a better picture as to what comes next.

Do you recall the time you were off school for 2 days. When the teacher asked you why. You answered because you had a cubic foot. Nice to know you haven't changed a lot. You could make a Good stand up comedian. Knock em dead, with the line "shell £20 in the near future" . God that would win the Perrier award at the Edinburgh comedy festival.

Oh happy birthday for the 1st of April. Don't you recall I went to the same school as you, but left when I realized how thick you were after a week.
I recall you asking the teacher if the 11 plus was a trick question. Give my regards to your family. The Addams family isn't it. Nice to know you take time to read all my posts. It's never to late to educate yourself, even someone with your disorders. Sounds like you want a signed photo & t shirt. Just so you know char333 is on the front of the t shirt. Just so you know which way your walking. More posts to come, just to keep you entertained while your not going to school during the coronavirus.

As they say, imatation is the biggest form of flattery. Doubt I'll be eating my shorts anytime soon. Only time will tell. You forgot to mention Tesco btw. Still 2 outta 3 isn't bad for someone of your limited intelligence.

Hi, if this is over £20 in the near future I'll eat my shorts. People keep saying the world needs oil & gas. Yes, that's a basic truth. But, yes there's always a but + this one's the size of Kim Kardashians, no one knows when the pandemic will ease. Or the suadi v russian squabbles will cease. But however you look at it there's a vast mountain of oil. Saudi's & Russians flooding the markets, oil price plummeted. Coronavirus stopping billions of people traveling through planes, trains + cars. So little use of fuels. So she'll have mountains of both, but who's buying or using. And at what price are shell selling. And more importantly can she'll make much profits in these circumstances. Errrr, no. These wild swings in American market's, show how as usual the yanks haven't a clue what's occurred or how to react. The yanks have 1 answer to everything, bomb the enemy's. Well that isn't going to work here. Yanks are born capitoists No one on the planet knows how this plays out. But in its most simple form, companies not making money means pain for the shareholders. How many companies have froze, cut, stopped dividends the last week or so. There is no magic wand in this situation. Its basic maths. I hope I'm wrong.

Hi, your spot on my friend. But this as gone on since day dot. And while the opportunity exists, it will carry on. Can't see no law like that being passed. 1 rule for them , 1 rule for us.

Hi, we seem to be at cross purposes, I think. Let's say the share price is £13. Many are holding shares at £18 & above. On the next update shell announces dividend cut. Share price plummets £4 in a day. It would then just drift along. As have all the shares in my previous post. You could average down, but as millions have found with the before mentioned shares your waiting many many years to break even. I doubt she'll will cut or halt Divi in next update, but the spectre is there in the current malaise. Let's hope it don't come to that. Dow up sharply, so let's hope a up day again. We need a buffer .

It makes me laugh. All these brokers, analysts, punters on message boards saying keep filling your boots as your getting 12% dividend give or take with the big mark up recently. But to a man everyone as said at the end of the post, even if the dividend is halfed your still getting maybe 6%. Yes but the share price will plummet. Lloyds, Barclays, Vodafone, Tesco, Sainsbury's all cut or stopped dividend. Take a look at the share price performance since they did. None are anywhere near or paying anywhere near their previous dividend. So maybe a good investment for people new to the scene. But investors holding above £18 ISH would have to hold these shares for many years just to break even. As this last 2 months as shown, anything could come out the blue, but share price as little buffer to play with + any negative news makes me believe it's a long road back from here. But everyone sees things differently . Nice to see a decent rise recently though.

While I'm extremely pleased with the gain yesterday & the mega rise today, I urge a note of caution. With the Dow up 11% today hopefully tomorrow will see a rise in the S P. Let me be clear no one would be happier than me for it to continue. But 1 swallow doesn't make a summer. Could this be a ploy by the markets to engineer a rise so the institutional investors can cover their losses, before the real brown stuff hits the fan. Sorry to pour cold water on the optimisum, but I've seen this happen to other shares over the years. Sincerely hope I'm wrong & the rally continues. £14 here we come.

Anyone reinvesting dividend is a a very very brave soul imo. Throwing good money after bad imo. But you takes your money you takes your choice. The days when shell was "the darling of the footsie" are over imo. People been buying all the way down from £19. Now realize the problems. I see another broker states £20. Absolutely zero chance this year. They live in fantasy world.

Sarah, here's a nursery rhyme for Sophie to say.
There was a lady Sarah Sutton. Who bought shell shares when she shouldn't. She's a bully + control freak + of course mentally weak. She tries to silence anyone who disagres, bring them to their knees, but she ' silence cha as he's as tough as old teak.

Sarah, I'd keep well hold of those shoe laces. They may may be the last you can afford when the dividend is scrapped or slashed.

P S, I'm glad you took time to puruse my previous posts. That would undoubtedly enlighten your full existence. I would return the favour of reading your previous posts, but I don't like to fall ASLEEP during the day.

Oh, you know someone who can write do you. I'd ask you to help but it could be a bit too much of you to spell someone's else's name, as your still struggling with your own. You've got children. Are you sure your the mother.
No one gets everything right not even me.
But my prediction of dividend cuts or rights issue will come to pass. Then let's see what you have to say, with your snobby, petty, pathetic posts.

People don't seem to grasp my posts. Indeed , perhaps I don't explain my reasons clearly. People keep telling me about oil + how it will be needed for many many many years to come. Do I agree , errrr yes. But my point is based on every company ever in existence. It's about profit. The bottom line. You can have trillions of barrels of oil, but how much are you making when you sell. Tesco's have 1000s of products, but as they found when the supermarket wars was in full bloom, if you can't sell it, you aren't gonna make big profits. And what did the c e o do, scrapped the dividend before he'd wiped his feet on the carpet. It's not rocket science. Continued Falling profits mean dividend cuts, or a rights issue. That's how companies worked. Vodafone issued more shares to buy liberty global assets. Moody's cut its credit rating instantly. Share price plummeted , Vodafone cut dividend. So all this noncense about 1947 is complete crap imo. These conditions have never faced shell & to a less extent BP. Ever Falling profits, coronavirus, Saudi v Russia fallout can only mean the same fate as Tesco + Vodafone. That's the reality to me. But I could be wrong. But, I'll be astonished if I am.
