A very Happy Easter Spights Meoryou and everyone

WP, we are all invested here with our hard earned cash to hopefully provide for families and loved ones when we retire. Nobody would have wished to see Ukraine suffer like this and as another has posted, this is not a war started by bp!!! but bp and its shareholders (US)
are certainly paying for it. Why should we allow Putin to enjoy the fruits of bp's investment in Rosneft.

Jezzoo The court of public opinion/the press certainly were very vocal in persuading bp to abandon rosneft, but none more that hm government who made it very clear that continuing to operate with rosneft was not an option. But then hm gov wasn't picking up the tab. Having taken that massive hit, which would have wiped out most businesses in the UK, the gov then decided to hit bp again with massive taxes. Why do we bother staying put in the UK, it beats me

Meoryou, setting aside any accrued Rosneft dividends full value of the bp stake must be in excess of £20BN. my best guess would be 50% discount if at all. How bad would it be to give Ukraine 5bn and return 5bn to shareholders to compensate for our loss

Meoryou so did I, but what do I know, after more than 40 years of investing on the stock market I'm still very much a novice. Have a good day

President Putin has approved a payment of $1.2 billion to Shell fir their stake in the above. Interesting development and I wonder if it may influence out board to flog the Rosneft holding

Spights thank you... not very exotic, but heaven to me. We have a little cottage at the foot of the Galtee mountains in County Tipperary so perect for nice springtime walking.

Good m Spights and everyone.,
Yes, dare we hope for another strong day, with Brent holding firm north of $85 all is looking very positive presently. Have a good day.

Hi Spights, all good thanks, been travelling so not posted much lately, sitting back and watching todays performance with interest. Most of our losses now regained thankfully. I believe Brent at around $80/90 is perfect.

Hi Spights, Meoryou and all.
We are holding on both to the oil price and recent gains in the share price, so all seems well, especially with the dilution in oil production volumes. Good chance of more gains this afternoon

Good afternoon Spights,
Yes I think you are right., we've held on to this morning uplift fairly well, and oil is holding north of $78. Plus banking sector looking less volatile we should gain a bit of ground hopefully

Morning Clued and everyone.
It appears to me that those details have not yet been released so it will be interesting to see how the 'trigger' will work., we should see more detail later this week. This might be just what the share price needs to move forward again, certainty in understanding tax and levies is essential to the management of any business. Have a good day all

Have a great weekend everyone, this time next week we will be flying again lol

It would appear to be a general lack of confidence in the banking sector, history tells us that the system is rotten to the core... UBS are also under investigation for assisting russian oligarchs, which just reinforces my point. Greed and corruption are never far away from big money.

Morning jk1234, it would certainly be welcome,however, I expect some headwinds today ahead of Fed announcement on interest rate rise,cand also the unexpected increase in uk inflation to 10.4%

Interesting Spights he thinks we will see $140 oil this year. Goldman Sachs thinks we won't see $100. Who will be right ? If it stays between 80 & 100 that would be petfect

Yes RRR relieved to see £5 breached just now. We're still 50 points off where we were 4 weeks ago. Hoping for continued upward strides today

A very good morning Spights, glad to see you are feeling better. Have a good day

Morning Meoryou lol I wish.... sad thing is that there's nothing wrong with BO, just contagion unfortunately the wretched bankers are out of control. I see six other US banks are currently under thorough inspection. All leads to lack of confidence, and that's all this is. We will climb back and recoup the 15% we lost over the past couple of weeks, not sure how long it will take this time
