Rheinmetal_fan, good find, but inconsistent that GS do recommend indirectly, by their higher 1398p Target Price, that BAE be bought albeit their Neutral rating !! 2025 is a long way away in terms of potential geopolitical debelopments !!

Bro-ken-broker, maybe the Rheinmetall profit taking prompted same in other European Defence and Aerospace stocks YES. But the scale of same to knock so much value off the sector's valuation smells of illegal co-ordination by a number of highly invested groups ?

Positives here are that Defence spending will be materially increasing and threat of and actual Wars more likely to escalate to support the former. The "Sell in May and go away" reason by a poster on RR board is nonsense because funds and large portfolio managers don't close for the Summer even if the top guys are dossing somewhere !!

Agree badland, but important to know why they all dropped. My oil share increases cover my losses in this sector so no change from yesterday, but true gains over time can be made by selling before this type of drop and then buying back. Some comment or broker sector downgrade has caused this. GS materially increased BAE Target Price today to near 1400p so GS hardly the culprits.

Skier1, "The naive dividend gamblers are finally fading away, and the journey for growth investors has begun and is coming strongly to the fore."

What weed are you on man, ?!!

Many on here bought around the £20+ mark to receive a 10% dividend, including myself. We aren't 'dividend gamblers' !! The share price is now simply moving upwards to where it was a year ago !! Your colourful statement above is very inaccurate.

Littleaston, you might regret selling unless you've a better prospect !! If you do, could you share ?!! I switched from one of my shares to EZJ and not regretting it, but try to keep a good risk balance within my portfolio. SHEL's announcement today may add to its appeal.

Great link getafgrip !! Hoped this would happen, but didn't think it would !! The EPL is a morally illegal tax, but the wheels do turn eventually !! Wonder do Starmer and his cronies really understand this Reality or will they still increase the EPL anyway ?!! All we need is for SHEL, BP., HBR and others to exit UK to give the politicians a good kuck up the a..e !!

Exploration, "governments don’t trust BP." Which governments don't trust BP and why ?

Jamboroar, maybe SSE Investor Relations could help you because they have historical data going way back surely ?

All, shouldn't things start happening this coming fortnight like Audited Accounts filed, External Finance solidified, Suspension Reversed ?

Very interesting Alas_Smith, shows how much catching up the UK needs to do !!

LoungeLizard1, yes I understand what you're saying and I've lived enough of life to see the kind of evil that humans can do. I accept that I find it hard to understand how people can be brainwashed - fanatical terrorists - to such an extent to behave like psychopaths because I'm too much of an independent person myself. Today the reasons were publicised regarding how the WCK 7 aid workers were murdered (criminal charges may still be brought) and it was due to carelessness basically and lack of communication. I've been a victim of crime a number of times myself, ie gun to my head, knife to my throat twice, financial fraud, etc... so I have the life experience !! It's strengthened me if anything as death itself doesn't frighten me, but if anyone hurt my family they would feel my wrath as far as possible regardless of the consequences to me. Just reading about the 7 who died can be quite upsetting as these were good charitable people, yes taking a known higher risk, but did not deserve to die, yes like many others as it is a war situation. Hamas and other terrorists are fundamentally cowards as shown by their flight to Qatar and Dubai.

Thank you greygeorge, you were the main man getting us over the £10....., but don't take your rest yet, we need to keep it there !!

Greygeorge, great to see you're still with us. Have you been buying DEC at all, won't have much more opportunity at below £10 ?

MrG123, Very witty !! And maybe all of us strong men can now push DEC over the £10 before close !!

It's currwntly around 997p-998p !!

Come on push push push... !!

LoungeLizard1, with respect, Israel have killed many innocents unnecessarily, recent murders have been the WCK 7 deaths which have received strong condemnation from many countries. The IDF are acting carelessly, can't believe they shot 3 Israeli hostages whilst 2 were waving white cloths surrendering.

The excuse 'this is a war' is not acceptable, imagine if it was your son or daughter who was an aid worker killed like that. Personally, I would want to kill Netanyahu if it was my child and would even consider hiring someone to do it. I can see Israel collapsing, being isolated, if they continue on their callous path, all it needs is for the US to cut them lose. Jews themselves are also losing popularity. Maybe Iran and its proxies have actually anticipated all this just like a chess game !! Just like Putin as he ramps up his weapon production, something that the West seems less capable of doing.

I am invested here, but also expect a responsible use of weaponry.

LoungeLizard1, you forgot BABCO_CK, and have added the '_' hoping LSE's narrow minded staff don't '****' it !!

Thanks spights. Brent now at over USD 90 , unbelievable that BP is down today !!

Paul2566, by 'bed account' do you mean a simple taxable trading account outside an ISA or a Pension because Google only has 'Bed and ISA' and 'Bed and Pension' in relation to UK ?

EZJ are predominantly hedged for oil prices and don't need to start new hedges until next year, when oil prices will probably be lower. Current oil price of little relevance therefore.

Dulwichman, and yet Starmer himself isn't exactly a poor man having had a high salary Tory type job for years !! When tube drivers are earning £50k + p a., more than some blue and white collar professionals, Labour's "base" can be a bit confusing.
