All that may well be true but if you really want to get the share price up then the answer is simple. Put the dividend back to where it was.

Dibbs99,

Another example if very poor performance by bp pr machine. Vague remarks about co2 levels but lacking clarity. If it wasn't for Spights and Meoryou and a few others I wouldn't have any information on what's happening at bp these days. Amateurish pr needs improvement (don't mean to sound like a headmaster)

Jezzoo

This topic has been debated on our forum quite a lot.

The downside in my opinion is even if we get peace in Ukraine the matter of reconstruction of the war damaged territories will become a real issue and if russian assets in Europe are confiscated, and I'm certain that they will, then Russia will confiscate European assets in a tit for tat. As much as I would love to think that we could get our rosneft stake and dividends returned there are considerable risk factors I'm afraid.

Lol Spights that will do nicely

Hi Spights,

I'm getting dizzy with all the activity at BP of late. I think we can rest assured that the complacency and cash cow mentality of the board are now firmly in the past. Just an observation but watching Murray Auchincloss bloomberg interview I got the distinct impression that he looked very tired and unhappy.

Good morning Spights,

I understand its mainly office based employees who are facing redundancy which is not a pleasant thing for anyone in that position. However, the harsh reality is that companies like Shell who are more than double the size of BP operate perfectly safely with far less employees so its difficult to argue against the proposal particularly in times when stricter fiscal prudence is called for. No disrespect to anyone who may be affected.

Nonsense,

Seems to me Opec + are ramping production to avoid any potential shortfall in oil supply v demand.

I think Trump will impose secondary tariffs but rissia have been very adept at circumventing so far. India have played both sides but may now have to seriously rethink their strategy.

The double standards are hypocritical because UK buys Russian oil refined in India.

Doubt if we will see any sizeable increase in the oil price though.

For clarification

3) a misguided milliband supporter

Stanley

Having read your recent posts you are one if the following:

1) a very disgruntled shareholder

2) not a holder but hoping for a cheap entry point

3) a misguided milligan supporter

Meoryou I don't think they will sell castrol cheaply, the board are keenly aware that they are under a microscope currently and flogging this at a knockdown price will incur more investorcwrath. If we don't get an offer that reflects true value then where's the need to sell urgently. There are other options to address the debt burden.

I am very optimistic that the new blood at the helm together with the other recent additions to the board with vast oil experience will transform this business in the medium term. We have been very badly let down by the incumbent board and frankly I believe there are other heads that need to roll.

Sorry should read 'expectation'

WeirdPal,

There is an expecting that q2 performance will show an improvement on q1.

There is however impairment charged ranging between .5 and 1.5 billion.

Furthermore, and as Meoryou recently reminded us the annual payment for gom falls due at this time which is somewhere in the region of 1 billion.

Hi Spights,

Congratulations to Albert Manifold on his appointment.

Im uncertain that his success in the construction industry is entirely relevant to the oil industry but we have to be fair and allow him time and space to deliver.

Hello Spights

End if another positive week for BP.

let's hope we can hold the sp over £4

Have a great weekend

Good morning Meoryou

There's so much happening now within BP almost on a daily basis which is reassuring. No monetary values released here yet but hopefully will be used to reduce debt

Hi Spights

This is yet another example if great things happening which should bode well for future profit margins. Keep the faith

Meoryou that was a very positive interview and clearly bp has so much more going on than we can readily see. Again I wish they were more proactive in getting the message out there.

PR machine #

Good morning Meoryou

I agree a great deal of positive things are happening at bp but as always we are hopeless at getting the message across. We need a professional or machine shouting from the rooftops and I cannot understand why a successful business like bp is so crap at publicity particularly in this day and age.

A very good morning Spights,

This story just refuses to go away doesn't it !
