The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
I have held BP since 2002 and have no concerns about its long term future. Sure I would like to see higher dividends and share price but this will happen - just not as quickly as many of the irrational whingers on here want to see.
It may well be that a deal will be done but isn't that how all wars end?
I doubt very much that Zelensky will permit those Ukrainians who have died to have sacrificed their lives in vain.
Sure the West will do business with Russia again - but Putin's days are numbered hopefully.
Western leaders continue to pat themselves on the back and congratulate each other on how effective the sanctions are/will be.
In the meantime, innocents are murdered and world stock markets crash.
Sooner or later, they will be dragged to the realisation that the only way to stop tyranny is by force.
Bless the Ukrainian people in these hours of darkness.
I don't think i have ever truly hated anyone in my life. Hate is such a strong emotion. However, the actions and Putin and his supine functionaries truly sicken me. I understand why Nato is refusing to go to the assistance of the brave Ukrainians but they will have to confront the despot eventually.
I speak as a long term holder (20 years+) of BP and i have seen all the ups and downs including Deepwater. I have nothing but admiration for what Bernard Looney and his board did, notwithstanding that it caused a significant paper loss for me and doubtless many others.
BP is a very well run business and i have no concerns about its long term prospects. We are all very fortunate to live in the UK though we all like to moan about trivial shortcomings etc.
I don't believe in God but i send my heartfelt good wishes to the people of Ukraine and all who support them.
Could not agree more - understandable but IMO misplaced optimism here today - there is a very long way to go and unless Putin is stopped either internally or by force his dark shadow will hang over the western world for many years to come. I am a long term holder of BP and am sitting on a hefty paper loss. Money can always be replaced - people cant.
