If you study the stock market and have the correct platforms to do so you will be able to ascertain where the AT trades came from and that would give you an indication of who is doing what.

I choose not to do that, I just look at the patterns. I’m not here to mud sling and would point out
that my strategy is to allow 3 days once a share as stopped falling to wheather or not I then increase my position. There seems to have been a ew buys yesterday but I’m still not sure
that it presents a clear buying signal

The share price got to 240 stayed there for a few days and gradually lost momentum, sold down each day look at the AT trades if you don’t understand. Traders good ones took the right call and have been selling it down since then, that’s how it works. Long before the gas debacle, they would of looked at impending recession interest rates and inflation .Honestly your average PI is so far behind the curve turning up a few weeks later and trying to work it out, it’s laughable.!

I can’t really be bothered but ill tell you. It’s nothing to do with gas. It’s positions being sold
down and rebought, via hedges under the threshold US ones or existing holders turning shares
looking for liquidity. Honestly, do some research, it’s the same curve as the house builders, it’s year end and traditionally poor, add a bit of uncertainty going forward and it gets put down. I supply housebuilders we are flat out. So either buy some more or sell and put your money in the bank. Shares are not for everyone

It’s none of the below. It’s because of the end of Furlough and the city forward thinking that we are entering into a recession. therefore, the algos are marking the share down. Next year will be
interesting. !

I think the share is being rotated out of after the divi hats all. The fda are not going to ban our products, they are only interested in the unregulated products from the small players. Why bother holding it now, it makes no sense. Move on to other divi shares if that’s your game and revisit here in 6 weeks for the game to start again.
It all seems so obvious

I would Sy the inflation figures out of Europe are a drag on the share price. Also why not buy IMB and ride that up to the divi date, that’s got to be the better short term call.

I often watch CNBC the halftime report to get a heads up from the experienced panel who have
been in the market for years. Anyhow, today they had an experienced trader FISH is his nickname.
Well when this guy talks you listen. His view this disruption to the gas and oil price is just the tip
of the iceberg. It’s only going to get worse and that will be unfortunate for customers via
higher energy prices but good for the energy companies. Energy costs in Asia he quoted as 4 times what the yanks pay. It’s going to get really messy because the transition hasn’t been thought though and energy companies are on a one way drive upwards.

The market will have to accept that and you could experience major upswings in the share price

I don’t know why posters bother wasting breath on the BBC . Anyone who is street wise and possesses an ounce of common sense on how the world works, knows that Africa is a basket case
full of corruption , always has been always will be. The Chinese will no doubt be involved with
numerous backhanders here and there it’s the way the game works.

These people making these programmes are supposed to be smart . Defund the BBC it’s long overdue !

My opinion the fda review as mentioned stated last 2 yrr.kids in the US were being admitted to hospital with lung problems due to cheap vaping products.
The share price tanked at the time with news of a review, then recovered when it was established it would not effect the big players ie us. As far as I see nothing has changed the big boys will control the action and so it’s all short term headwinds again.
The small players will get wiped out and all their unregulated products leaving a clear path for us to have a decent market share in the action.

My opinion bats is now a trading share . It has been for a while. It’s in a range and the best strategy is to buy between £24/26 and sell out before the divi date. Summer months with no volume will provide an opportunity to buy on weakness. Cigs are like oil unloved and no matter how good growth is from future products, it’s going to be unloved and kicked at an opportunity. So I just invest for a 3 month cycle tops.

Yellen talking about interest rate rises has caused an already frothy market to re-evaluate . So
the algos just switch to sell in this Global market ! Unfortunate that it is that’s the reason for the sell off in my opinion.

As I mentioned last week the jury is out on Looney , they don’t like buybacks as it’s not confident
enough . He needs to deliver on the plan and regardless of the free cash flow from the oil price
will there be a future . So that’s not known until you see some quarterly earnings reports and the
big boys have not bought into the plan , so expect volatility. It seems obvious to me !

Having been invested for a number of years and knowing the game inside out, this is a PUNT.
BP were sold down because the facts and figures at the presentations were not there, it was all
Jam tomorrow with no numbers.

So, I state again until looneys strategy can be quantified it’s all nonsense. Granted you might
get some upside in the share price due to the oil price, but this is a depreciating business.

People need to realise there is no cost basis for these projects it’s all talk and years away.

So beware all the hype because the market clearly doesn’t believe Looney, otherwise the price
would of recovered like the other majors you keep banging on about !

A lot of the institutions bailed on looneys initial presentation stating that it was “lots of charts”
with no cost structure ! So until he gets some quarterly results under his belt which show
how “the plan” makes money, it’s a punt !

Lots of nonsense posted here so don’t get sucked into the hype.

I’m in agreement with the yanks buying. But the good old fste clearly has an issue with BP
on the ESG side and that’s not changing until Looney can deliver returns from the green agenda.

This reminds me of Vodafone and 5 G a few years ago. No one wants to pay for the Hugh infrastructure costs as they can’t see a return

My view the market never likes Buy backs , it’s seen as a lack of confidence on growth by the
company and very rarely leads to an increase in share price ! Don’t shoot the messenger !

During the war ! I got marooned n the Suez Canal, did I ever tell you the story !

I’m not expecting too much from Q1 . Large hit to the balance sheet what with the redundancies. The guidance going forward is the key. Also my view is the Saudis and the Russians have realised
that pointless all rushing to the front door to pump as much as possible. Play the long game and
get a better price. It’s still a BUY providing Looney strategy starts to get support.

Hey, ill go with JP Morgan. I went long after their presentation. Thanks

I’m long BP. Surely this talk of previous highs for BP being achieved is unfounded because dear
old Looney has sold off assets and reduced production targets.

So obviously the past is the past and I’ve not seen any future share price targets from established
sources ? For the new business
