Good morning spights

To all you long term holders who are feeling rather despondent today - well don't !
There are no sell recommendations from analysts that i am aware of and the average consensus rating is £4.50+
Keep the faith .

The views of those who talk about selling now are fuelled by frustration and disappointment.
If you are going to become emotional about your investments then you are better off putting your money elsewhere.

None taken.
Have a good one.

Evening Paul and thank you for your well considered post. Like you, I have been an investor for more than 30 years and made my fair share of mistakes.
Fortunately, there are a few smart guys on this board who talk a lot of sense, regardless of whether the SP is up or down.
One thing is for sure - I would never blame another for my own shortcomings as an investor, hence my filter list grows longer by the day!
Have a great weekend and my heartfelt best wishes to all in Ukraine.

Thanks Mike - appreciate it.

Well said Happy

Morning guys. Do try and keep a sense of proportion. Your paper losses bear no relation to the appalling suffering in Ukraine.
Happy whingeing !

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.

Perhaps the major shareholders have enough common sense to realise that now is not the right time to be raising such issues.

"Very disappointing outcome indeed"
Oh, i thought it was a done deal !

Ukrainian foreign minister does "not have high expectations" of tomorrow's meeting - CNN

UAE's stance on increases makes a lot more sense as a rational explanation for the dip in the oil price, than the article in the Jerusalem Post which was pure conjecture IMO.
Any comment Happy?

Happy
You may be right given the sudden fall in the oil price.
Not long to wait to find out anyway.
Thanks anyway for your thoughtful posts - keep em coming .

Happy
If you are so sure why did none of the journalists raise it at Truss and Blinken's news conference 45 mins ago?

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.

Are there any countries that are not me first?

No Offence taken. After all, we do live in a democracy I hope!

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.
