Likewise.

Yes
Im short on Putin PLC

actions of Putin i meant - apologies

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.

You are not alone !

I do hope you are right about Putin. If History teaches us anything it is that tyrants never give up power unless they are forced from office. Sanctions will not stop Putin. Force is the only thing scum like him understand.

Not much attention being paid to the broker ratings all issued today -
JP Morgan Cazenove Overweight 500.00
Citigroup Neutral 375.00
Berenberg Buy 450.00

Hi Mark
Sanguine and measured as usual.

At the moment am busy filtering all the naysaying ignoramuses . Should take a while.

BP called down 4% at the open

Those hoping for a massive fall in the SP are going to be disappointed. FTSE futures are c. -1.5%

The dividend and buybacks will be intact according to BP's FULL statement, which clearly a a large amount of posters on here havent bothered to read.

thanks jakers

Does anyone know what time the oil futures market opens?

I doubt that Looney was given a choice in the matter.

According to chief economist of Renaissance Capital, interviewed on CNBC this morning, it will take a minimum of 5 years for the West to wean itself off Russian oil and gas.
