"The blinkered man wishing for war to make a few quid on their BP holding, is surely short sighted in the bigger picture of what impact this would have on the world as a whole ?"
True. Also the irony is, even if you wanted parabolic oil prices, BP isn't the oiler to piggyback such a rise and make your millions.
Even when Brent was >$100 for several months in 2022, it remained nailed below 450p most of the time.
BP is typically just a +/-20% trading stock or a portfolio ballast with a stable divi, nothing more. If you want boring, BP is your guy or gal.
