We're all ****ing in the wind with this one.

I bought and sold on results day, and bought again yesterday. I can see both the value here, and why it would attract shorters. Q1 22 was impacted by Omicron, so the Q1 23 update in April, should make for a healthy comparison.

The company will be buying back 0.06 of their share capital today, 0.3% for the week. It all adds up.

Joined the party. Bought 4000@1.205162.

This a trading stock, too many bumps in the road to be a LTH.

You haven't got any brighter since you last posted on here

Well done to all the sub 5 buyers today.

Looks like sub 5 is coming, it's just like the good old days. I'm expecting the regular soothsayers to turn up after a sabbatical.

Bought 7000@5.18175 at 12.57:06.

How do you know if its a good RNS, if you have no idea what the money is for.

There has been no change to the listed 204 million shares since the extreme trading volumes of the last 3 weeks. We're all on here speculating, it's a rum state of affairs.

20 quid up in 86 days is where it goes from here.

Have you sold yet. You said you'd be out before Monday.

I had further email exchanges with Jaz Salati, head of M&A at TBLD. On the 60 million shares traded on Feb 9, he said 'I don't recognize the 60m number, can you break it down, so I can help you get the correct picture'. I replied that the largest trade was for 7.815 million shares, which alone is nearly 4% of the share capital. I also asked for an update on the company's major shareholders, as the information on the company website is 11 months old. That was on Friday, Feb 17, he has not replied.

The market likes it. The off highway Thornton's deal transformed BP's convenience store business in the US, substantially lifting average basket size. This on highway acquisition cements BP's retail proposition.

Replied promptly

I emailed the company this morning and Jaz Salati tried promptly. They said 'It is the responsibility of the fund crossing a given threshold to trigger a TR-1 release. What I can tell you for sure is that none of the executives has sold any shares, otherwise we would have issued a statement'.
While we await to hear what exactly has happened, no executive sales is reassuring.

Are TR1's mandatory. Since the IPO there has been significant selling and none issued.

Moy, I think the buyback kicks in today at circa £5.53/54, which as you say should provide a floor. Did last week's results signal a move away from wind and solar, as after a decade of investing billions of dollars to expect come 2030 a 6-8% return begs the question, 'What'd the point?'

My Mum bought BP when they first came to market, and until recently always chose the scrip dividend. I dread to think how many hours I've spent over the years looking for BP share certificates that mum had mislaid but eventually always turned up. First share I ever bought, although my timing as proved this week has always been a bit off.
