£5.00 seems out if the question as the global economy would appear to be heading for a slowdown.

The principal Japanese index is up over 8% at gone 03:00 BST!

If BP opens at that sort of rate, then I expect it to open up about 25p or maybe more.

Salr n Peppah,

It is a dangerous thing to assume, as it makes an ASS of U amd ME!

Who knows? If someone looked like they were picking up control of BP on the cheap, others could make a rival bid...

I wonder when the markets will return to 'normal'?

Invitation,

Confiscate from whom, unconnected Russians?

Of dubious legality.

The Nikkei-225 is up hugely at 03:00 BST, about +6%, so the Footsie may start the day up.

Buybacks right now seem opportune as relatively cheap. They would also provide a floor for the filling share price.

I was wondering this too. Will people filling their new year ISAs cause prices to start up, or has the sell-off some way to go still, so we open down?

Not "wasted" as it permanently removes the supply of BP shares, putting upwards price pressure.

What can be argued, Meoryou?

Jakers,

I have a preference for corporate debt to leverage through growth of the business without asking for more equity capital.

Old gasman,

I wonder if the fact that divide is are voluntary and debt interest payments compulsory plays a part?

Not sure that Putin has Jakers.

Grigsi, please note that the Ukriane IS indeed in Russia!

No Theaky, that would be giving me shares away. If Shell offered £5.00+, others would come into llay offering £6.00+.

What the invasion of Ukraine has taught everybody is that the Russian army is not as powerful and scary as we were led believe! That it has struggled so much over three tyears to take relatively little and to be incapable.of defending its own land tells me that the West has little to fear on that front.

How come a £3 fall in the share price?

Source?

*Rosneft.

I thought Tosneft was indeed written down to nil value.
