RR rated conviction bite by Goldman target 1130. Agree with them for once ...

Nuri - I'm not moaning, I'm laughing :-)

Final divi down from 3.5 to 3, cow bank (bo is Irish for cow) not sent to slaughter house, pointless name change from toxic RBS to Nastywest and NIM under cosh. What a valentine from Rose ... Surprised so still above 210.

Alert at 2050? Really? Technically (RSI 7,14) seriously oversold at 2700 ! Shortly back to 2800 IMO

BP tipped in US based on free-cash-flow yield. Apparently, FCF one of the few valuation measures that has worked in the post-financial-crisis world, and energy’s, at 5.7%, is now one of CITIs Overweights for the first time since 2007.

BP looks particularly attractive. The stock has returned just 1.2%, including reinvested dividends, over the past 12 months, and was hit hard after its third-quarter earnings report, when it failed to raise its divi as expected.

BP has FCF yield of 8.5% and trades at just 11.8 times earnings, was recently added to the Jefferies Franchise Picks list, and will soon boost cash returns to investors. Meanwhile, it has a dividend yield of 6.4%, above those of RDSA, Exxon, and Chevron.
Clearly worth a bottom dollar to the yanks ...

Skindle - just stay alive long enough for the first orders to be placed - which might be as early as this year. Look on it as a funeral plan ... LOL

Having seen artists impression of new SMR plant (looked like metal armadillo shell), technical diagram of vertically aligned reactor (with throughput benefits over old designs), forecast output (almost as much as existing Magnox), and proposed sites for first two plants, IMO these small reactors could be huge for RR with sales potential that could drawf aero engines. Hope this takes off.

Now predicted first two sites of Rolls-Royce SMR plants are in northern England and Wales. One site is home of an interminably delayed nuclear project, and the other a decommissioned nuclear plant. Believe it when I see it but if RR SMRs get go ahead, this will be seriously good news.

HOC now have Earn In relationship with Canadian outfit Adamera which has gold mines in USA Washington state. Adamera shares have soared, no obvious sp response from HOC, but seems good move for HOC.

Local BP garage price up from 126 to 132 over weekend. Good news for shareholders who are not driving anywhere.

TT - I always understood that the cash was to be used for purchases - not a dividend. After 3 years waiting, still hoping the 9m, almost half the original 22m, will be spent on worthwhile additions to the group. Pleased cash not squandered but frustrated it has been rotting in bank. Concerned that any large acquisition will require a cash call or equity dilution.
Anyway, hoping that TPG finally breaks through in 2020 ...

Looking at chart, what a coincidence. Sp exactly where it was 3 calendar years ago ! Lots of buying today masquerading as sells. Bottoming out or further to fall ?

Interesting that six-hole program targeting the depth extension of the carbonate veins mapped and sampled at surface found no mineralization. Clearly not worth proceeding with. Nice to see sp recover so quickly.

Sacked in time for christmas. New strategy to be unveiled on valentines day. Rose wasting no time in picking up the reindeers.

Is back. Looks like Brexit will be as hard as chewing on a brick. Citigroup downgrade to Neutral from Buy. What a difference a day makes ...

jj - agree with you.
Santa's Elf down pub reckons no sales till Brexit done and US trade deal in place, at which stage sp will indeed be 300+. Until then, shareholders (led by govt) will have to accept massive dividends !!! Hope sp does not tank as much as it did last time divi was declared.
Back to plot, fly in ointment is if Trump gets peached, some Obama type takes over and no US deal in sight. Elf recommended buying some gold (HOC, CEY) while watching this latest US soap. IMO, Trump will wipe floor with opposition and RBS will be 450+ this time next year.

Never seen such a large percentage rise in this share, and do not expect to see it again any time soon.
This despite RBS sneaking out news that it will pay £40m compensation to 730,000 customers for rigging FX transfers that boosted the bank’s profits. How many more of these scandals are there ?

Anyway, rapidly approaching the level where UK Gov will start raising funds to pay for promises, which means selling chunks of RBS. Anyone any views on what level that might be ? About 270 last time round but suspect that Boris will need the cash sooner rather than later ...

Glen is certainly not worth any money while under the spectre of the SFO. The PFC sp has declined 60% courtesy of the SFO which started investigations over two years ago with no end in sight. Think Glen is off anyones shopping list for several christmases to come.

JABH - agree with you entirely. If polls are correct, Friday 13th might see a huge RBS sp spike or does anyone think that Conservative majority in parliament is already priced in ?

Friday sp movement not helped by Jeffries downgrade to hold, which will be water under the bridge by Monday ...
