its on every fecking channel Ken, media aint got anything better to do.
Id sooner have Jeremy Kyle back on !

and to think last month we were all concerned about the flooding - hardly on the news at all now.
and the month before that it was all brexit trade negotiations - hardly on the new at all now.
and this month were all talking the end of the world - well you get the picture.
Next month i predict sunshine in Cornwall - well that wont be happening

completely agree Scoop.
Not only did they spend high £'s on the shares they bought back they still own the buggers now they are worth so much less. A double whammy and a stupid decision.
They should have cancelled them and not kept them in treasury at the least. That has always worried me

were still all driving our cars about tho, turning our heating on, sending boats full of bog roll over from china etc etc. Some donuts are still even booking cruises on floating petri dishes!
low oil prices maybe about for a while given the sudden reduction in travel, Chinese economic output reducing oil demand, and the dopey russian/saudi spat. The product however is still being used despite grotty greta, just less of it currently.
What people are forgetting in their hysteria is that the entire worlds pharmas and scientists are working 100% on a cure for this virus. When it is found, and with that level of effort it will be, even if it takes a while, the world will get back to its usual habits shortly afterwards. One businesses shares will be rocketing for certain.
There are some sectors that will struggle more, non essentials like holiday companies, airlines et al, but world neccasaries like energy utilities will come back. Smaller companies may struggle and lose out to scale where shocks can more easily be managed.
What makes me chuckle is the panic measure in lowering the interest rate. Savers will be further ****ed off, and by and large most people making a saving on their mortgage (not many nor much) will just spend it on a pizza or some tat like an upgraded phone just as usual.
My car will still need diesel though, a full tank tomorrow as i chug up the m5 getting on with my chores.

with a hotly tipped 8p share price i might be tempted to average down a tad, might even match Mikeys current daily buybacks at that price :)
According to one or two 'experts in the know' Boeing have 400 odd of the crocked plane parked up in the states waiting for sales and permission to fly, but if anybody will do a deal for them it would be mikey, although rumour has it that the fixes will take some time yet to be done so we wont be seeing any in the skies for a while - makes em cheaper i suppose.

more research and less laughter maybe required.

Ryanair dont actually pay dividends to maintain.

ooeeer some nice big share cancellation buybacks today, must be over the 22% cancelation mark by now? buying back both the normals and the adr's to, excellent.

just dont have a chinese Ken, better safe than sorry and all that

i think you will find Sara that history is there to learn from and does indeed repeat itself. Shell has a reputation on its divi payments it will want to protect. The markets are cyclical and go round and round. I make it clear that i hold here, almost 15000 shares, bought mainly at the time of the BG merger so (dividends excluded) i am comfortable, not happy but comfortable at the current ridiculus share price and over a longer term i see possitives rather than negatives, Ive been here before as i say.
The question investors have to answer for themselves is whether they are traders taking a shortterm view or investors taking the longerterm one, im clearly the second. Whilst i dont like buybacks at all, id suggest that they are the same as investing in the business by removing the divi costs at such low prices.

trump make shale cut production, thats a laugh.

At these prices those shalers will be going bankrupt. Who's he trying to kid

In times past Shell have chosen to issue more shares in place of cutting out divis, they have never in decades stopped paying divis, and they will move heaven and earth to maintain that history. Now personally as a large holder i dont like buybacks and never take scrip shares in place of payments, but im as certain as i can be that the divi wont be affected, unless these low oil prices last years which i doubt very much.

char, do not call me a bully. i am not, you know Nothing about me at all. I merely state opinions like you although mine are contrary to yours, its quite simple and obvious that mine are not scaremongering, unlike your repeated to death mantras that we are sick to death of continually seeing. i judge that more of the people on here agree with my opinion than your fear spreading doom mongering, please see upticks and similar posts if you wish to gauge general unbiased opinion.
To be clear my opinions are thus.
You got your vodaphoney investments wrong and are bitter.
You got your Shell investments wrong and are now belating that business in a similar negative bitter manner.
Shares are clearly not for you as you just expect rises and cant handle falls.
You are far to personal and emotional about it all and cannot accept criticism in a balanced adult manner.
You are welcome to your opinions (predictions you call them) as we all are, but continually prattling on along the same lines is destructive combatative hardly helpful and certainly not factual so PLEASE do us and yourself a favour, chill out and lower your stress levels and take a break before a heart attack or something gets you.

tom
certainly a very persuasive little devil, he has his fork stuck in me at the moment, im trying hard to ignore him :)

char
You got burned with vodaphoney - we get it.
Your getting burned here to - we also get that (so are lots of others)
Maybe shares just arent for you.
Stick with your bank account if you think prices dont fluctuate, often violently.
There are a lot of people who see this current volatility as an opportunity, you dont and thats fine, your choice, but stop carping on for Gods sake. your like a broken "i was right i was right" record, shame you wasnt right when you actually invested.

i bet RYA EZJ etc etc will be looking to hedge future fuel prices and lock in this cost reduction for the next few years or so.
Of course those with a half a brain will realise, the current oil price drops wont be making a jot of difference here at the moment as the airlines are currently hedged at earlier prices, certainly at RYA, the forward thinking lowcost leader.
maybe EZJ and IAG didnt do this, and hence their drops today?

ken, not read trumps comments yet but he's between a rock and a hard place now. Not so long back he was moaning about high oil prices and gobbing off to keep em low. Today he's got his wish but it will be destroying his US shale industry, so he will be getting pressure from home about them being too low now. If i was him id be keeping quiet i recon lol.
