Yes greygeorge, maybe that's part of DEC's reason for selling assets recently to bring them back in line with their loan covenants. Begs the question also as to whether or not the Shorting a.ssholes are trying to hurt these loan covenant ratios and drop the sp further ?

Gavster-NBC, 'So how could this letter be answered fully and properly publicly, even if it is in the public interest regarding methane leakage control.'

Surely there's a process for these scenarios where the answer is provided to a designated 'sworn to secrecy' person, eg judge, or group, and they then provide an assessment ?

CleverThoughts, there are no real winners in War, just some who lose less than others. Ukraine will not be taken over because if it was there'd be a NATO v Russia War. I've been watching FXPO closely as it's a great company and way undervalued if no war, but thus my worry that it could be bombed at any time and not worth the risk.

Yes, Alliance News '...Brent oil was quoted at USD77.81 a barrel at the London equities close Tuesday, up from USD75.73 late Monday....'

This is an actual 3% jump in oil price today so we shouldn't be down, whatever the markets are "expecting" could very well be wrong !!

Of course, Boyobach, what will happen if Biden starts a subsidy scheme to support shale producers in the face of lower oil prices because he wants them at an optimal low price for his Pres Campaign but not so low that they'll materially reduce shale production ? Will the KSA reduce oil prices more thereby hurting the KSA more as their desired oil price is in the late USD80's ?

Alliance News UK Market Close today:

The oil major said the impairments for the most recent quarter are driven by portfolio choices, such as its Singapore Chemicals & Productions assets, which Reuters had reported Shell plans to sell by the end of 2024.

Meanwhile, oil prices fell more than 1% on Monday due to Saudi Arabia cutting prices coupled with rising Opec output, outweighing upward price pressure amid geopolitical jitters in the Middle East, Danske Bank said.

What does Alliance mean 'impairments for the most recent quarter are driven by portfolio choices, such as its Singapore Chemicals & Productions assets' ? Surely not an excuse though for bad accounting.

Also, I thought OPEC had cut production so why an increase ?

Very good meoryou, just the medicine for a relaxed sleep !!

Nthoftheriver, Great article. Even if Oak is 50% wrong then we are way way undervalued !!

Bongo5, Interactive have erred in your case as I'm also with them, uploaded the W8BEN form after buying on LSE and now receive divs in USD with 15% US WHT deducted. You need to chase them on it !!

AGBR, I'm with ii and receive divs in USD less the 15% US WHT.

Goodness EuropaEuropa, maybe worth us pooling some resources and employing soneone to get rid of ML if his shadow does indeed darken so many aspects of Darktrace ?!!! £10k would probably be enough ?!!

Fleccy, you left out the investor choice to simply HOLD and use the time in the market approach.

Greygeorge, your article suggests to me that to benefit from arbitrage eventual price parity between US and UK prices that shorters should short the US stock and go long the UK stock because the US stock is currently higher, but this isn't happening ?

Goodness, didn't realise the price was over 1000p years ago. Having traded profitably a wee bit initially, my current holding is at 400p so over 600p would be very welcome in the next 12 to 18 months. War and more war looks very likely, not that I wish for the human suffering, but War is and has always been a part of Humanity.

Time IN the Market needed along with Patience !!

I'm a strong HOLD for now and confident fpr the future.

Gregeorge, as you mention 'souls', something heavenly, do you believe in a God, a Heaven, an Afterlife, etc.. without any proof really ? Most humans believe in at least two of the three in their own way. Just wondering is there any way you too could develop the Faith ?!!

Develop the Faith brother and you'll reap huge gains !!

The prospect of a fine is looming over BT after the telecoms group missed a government deadline to remove equipment made by Huawei from its core network by the end of December. Britain's biggest telecoms group said that all its 4G and 5G voice calls and data were now delivered by non-Huawei equipment, accounting for more than 99 per cent of traffic over the most sensitive part of its network. However, 2G and 3G services are yet to be migrated. - The Times

Urbanguru, Div Witholding Tax is taken to ensure in DEC's case that USA receives a 15% tax on divs. Stamp duty is charged by HMRC to ensure that it also receives this 0.5% stamp duty tax because DEC is traded on LSE. Countries have the power to basically tax anything, if you're interested google some of the most obscure taxes !!

Surprised there aren't multiple postings today given BAB's 6.33% price rise ?

EuropaEuropa, 'Maybe it's because no one is buying what DT is selling?' Doesn't DARK have many thousands of customers and the numbers are materially increasing ?
