You can be certain they are not shareholders in BP. So ask yourself what is their motive.

Hi Tinker, I do agree with you, we must remember that those who promote such emotive language have their own agendas and domestic audiences to appease

I think we will have to wait till February for full year results and I sincerely hope a substantial rise in dividend payable at Q1

Jezzo, I totally agree... stuff Starmer

Payable on 16th December....

£0.049402

A very good morning Spights, Meoryou and all posters of goodwill.
Oil has eased back from initial gains yesterday most probably due to China's lacklustre economic situation which is exacerbated by their covid issues. I think it likely we will see some downside on share price today, but I'm far from convinced that it's anything to do with the price cap on russian crude, its far too early for any ramifications to filter through. Have a good day everyone and keep the faith

Meoryou, I do wonder myself sometimes, think it's referred to as a senior moment

Phuketpunter., me too, I misread the share price at 488 thinking it was 498. Must have an eye test.

We should touch £5 today

Sterling cash dividend announcement date is tomorrow, and payment on 16th December

A very good morning Spights, Meoryou and everyone.
Oil making very modest gains overnight, but nothing major. It will probably take a week or two to find out how russia is reacting to the price cap and how they are managing the movement of oil cargoes. Hoping for a positive opening

Meoryou I have no doubt, and thank you

Mike I greatly appreciate your post.

Emeraldcarrots, it will be an interesting week ahead for oil. I can certainly see an argument fir the price to rocket, which isn't really in anyone's interest, however, all pressure most be brought to beare to dilute the monetary flow from oil to fund this war

MikeM14. Sorry but I couldn't in all concious let his post go unanswered.

Tricky, if you are referring to the unlawful annexation of Crimea in 2014 then respectfully you're ideology is rather perverted. Do you expect people to just hand over parts of their country to an invading force ?? let me ask what your Russia would do if attacked?? good luck to you and try to enjoy Christmas in the country of your choice while the folk in Ukraine are suffering horribly because of your countries unlawful aggression

HopeGreedNothing, next thing they will be saying is BP started this blasted war. The BP board have made its position perfectly clear in regard to its Rosneft stake, and have not received a single penny in dividends on its investment in Rosneft, furthermore it has taken a $20bn hit on its balance sheet. Just what is it that you think they could have done under the sanctions and russian laws preventing foreign companies from receiving funds or offloading their assets. If we are able to eventually find a buyer, be it China, India or indeed Russian then the matter can be concluded to the satisfaction of the board and ourselves as shareholders. I see nothing wrong or imoral in realising asset value for the benefit of BP. the alternative is to just hand over the $20bn plus accrued dividends to Putin, not that's what I would call immoral. I take issue with the economic adviser to ukrain's comments that BP is receiving blood money. They are very happy to accept the billions we've offered in aid and arms but now they are getting greedy and expect us to rebuild ukraine. I have every sympathy with ukraine but russia started the war and they should pay reparation costs.

Meoryou I get that more annoying is the unsolicited adverts coveting text.
Opec will want to engender stability in their discussions which in turn provides fiscal prudence. I am of the view that they will want to see oil straddling $90
have a good day

Meoryou the simplest way to deal with Y11 is to filter out his posts as I have. Spights I believe any action taken at today's remote meeting will depend on how Russia react to price cap. They may well choose to opt for a deep production cut which could spike the oil price considerably as perceived punishment.
That could cause problems particularly as we get deeper into winter. Interesting times but we will always triumph in the end. Really looking forward to full year results.
