Dare2tri, I certainly hope the sp gets to £500 and soon !!
Why do Analysts rate like GS has today with an increased TP well above current sp, but don't have a Buy rating and especially increasing the TP ?
Goldman Sachs raises easyJet price target to 670 (620) pence - 'neutral'
Greygeorge, see you're annoying posters on this Board now as well as on DEC board !! I also think Trek Madone contributes positively to the Boards, a simple review of his posts is enough 'proof' for us that he is genuine and you don't have to read his posts if you don't want to !!.
What 'proof' do you have that he's not genuine ?!!
Will Gove's 'reform' of Ground Rent law affect LGEN as the press says Pension and Insurance companies bracing for a £30b hit, or will it just affect the investments being managed by LGEN on behalf of pensioners and investors ?
Will Gove's 'reform' of Ground Rent law affect Aviva as the press says Pension and Insurance companies bracing for a £30b hit, or will it just affect the investments being managed by Aviva on behalf of pensioners and investors ?
Moniman, I'm reporting late for duty here today so commenting only now !! Anything written on these Boards doesn't effect the share prices, especially that of a company of BP's size. Also, I agree with what MarkGo said about spights as I've always found her a decent polite informative contributor to this Board.
Getafgrip, is there an annual 'tax' on a % of the type of Trust you refer to ?
Mark, I realise you've headed away for the day, but per your "BP's reserves currently lack depth due to Rosneft ' exit ' at 8.7 years at present but Rosneft is a write-down not write-off. Rosneft dividends for BP are still being paid and held on account. Wars come and go. Companies are more perpetual. I expect BP's near $24B stake - excluding dividends $6B - to return in value sometime in the next few years."
do others think these Rosneft dividends and investment will populate BP's A/C's again, as that would really add to its value ecen in a few years time ?
RobinHoody, more chance of dying in a car crash, considering current road death stats, than in a plane. Iran, North Korea and Russia have also threatened UK so maybe safer holidaying abroafd !!
Civilian aircraft highly improbable to be in danger as plenty of notice usually given and not targeted.
I take it that you don't believe in fate !!
Goldgnome, this is the Global ticking time bomb, Global in that it's effects will spread far and wide when it goes off !!
The US will have to raise taxes, they are too low for their Current and Capital Public Expenditure. The latter is also a ticking time bomb as much of the infrastructure, built in the 19960's to 1970's, needs replacing as shown recently by some collapsing bridges and roads. They'll kick the debt down the road as long as they can, but Republicans are now making it harder to increase the debt. Signs of a declining Superpower !!
Great post TerryM1, however, looks like Peel Hunt not too active on buying back SEC today though !! Markets more volatile than normal admittedly after the Ayatollah's Sat night fireworks !!
Stille, Most of the crew members are Indian nationals so I doubt Iran wants to upset India who are a lot
bigger than Iran !!
Personally, I wouldn't believe a word any of these part human species say as they seem to live in some sort of alternative reality with Allah or Jehovah or ????

Good Morning !! Worrying times, but US Index Futures Up c 0.20%
Harmonica, I expect the Oil price to be up tomorrow.
Sky News said the drones were attacking Israel around 1:30 -2:00 am Israel time so around 11:30pm UK time. They were well on their 9 hour way when you posted at 21:39 13th Apr. If Sky News are correct, and their times are not the most accurate I find, then the drones left Iran at c. 14:30 UK time to arrive near Israel c. 23:30 UK time.
Conger2, Aviva and Lloyds owe you some nice divs as went ex-div on Thurs so your losses are really less than the £60k ?
Not sure what impact the earlier Iranian hijack will have for next week's markets. As fas as Straits of Hormuz are concerned, the US and UK can always position military aircraft carriers, naval destroyers in the Straits to protect passing traffic though that may risk escalation. I have Oil and Defence stocks as well as IAG and EZJ so plenty of defensive hedging unless everything tanks which I doubt.
