Hello one and all could we see a takeover here from something based online? Given the general gloom here I don't think people will be in agreement with this possibility but could there not be some strategic logic?

Could be some turbulence but I'm sure it will be higher than this quite soon and a year from now a lot higher. Just need to be patient and not greedy. Checking a share price all the time isn't for me. By the way I sold my premier oil for this which could be foolish but I think this is a better bet, which at the end of the day is all that it is with any share. Good luck.

In on new years eve - think it's an ocean liner changing course. Aside from that I've had a hunch for some time that a big private equity type takeover could be brewing and this might fit the bill. Nothing concrete but think a year from now should see a good return. Good luck one and all.

I see you always call things wrong, ever thought a more leisurely pastime!

I'm in and looking forward to a takeover in the region of 200 pence. These oil stocks are spineless but I can wait.

These boards are full of messed up people so on that point I'm going. I'm holding until converted. Adios.

Very bad share, However could jump straight back up, good luck to you all. I think level 2 information is vital with this kind of share.

Out but not down and hi hi. My goodness.

Problem Is that the powers that be can manipulate the price, make money going down, close their shorts then show willingness to cut output, oil is like this. Way of the world. Opec will act but don't be thinking they are necessarily suffering when things drop like this. I guess by Friday we might have some recovery. I couldn't decide whether to go for this or Brent but went for this as I think a lot of bad in the price and there could be some nice surprises to come. Personally I'd also like to see them shed some more assets. Difficult question I appreciate but what might the falkland slands asset l be worth at the moment? Maybe attractive to some US entities. Any thoughts?

In good luck - think 1.20 looks a reasonable price, so 50 plus % from here. Adios.

Share Chat boards are full of people speculating, this is the reality here. It is wrong to judge shareholders by a share chat forum. Check any share page - full of speculators. This is what it is. You choose to be here and use this for whatever purpose it is you do.
The backing provided by shareholders is quite incredible. Without this backing the business would have shrunk a lot quicker. The business hasn't performed as stakeholders expected and hoped. Markets and shares are increasingly erratic. This deal is about creating a more flexible business to deal with that, with greater synergy, scale and ability to deal with cycles. It should be good and should create more jobs once the businesses are integrated.
I don't post that often, well not hourly or daily, but some of the things just don't seem right on here.

No not brexit, not the court of tribunal or discussions with the unions, but this share chat stuff. The Rastuss poster seems to want the non profitable mines to be given away. Are you involved in any way? Do you yourself live in a community which might be able to takeover one of these mines?

I quite like the idea of holding shares once they are converted. I do have concerns about the militancy but I think it's better to have something of something than nothing of something and hopefully people will see sense. South Africa also hopefully are open for business.

Too many good things, more good than bad in my view. Good luck.

Assuming we have a no deal brexit aren't we probably looking at a lower pound making this share more attractive at an international level. Most of the operations seem to be UK based so not having to move offices and people. More generally on banking, HSBC and Barclays appear mainly UK, Asia, US I think I'm right in saying. The UK is one of the richest countries in the world and we buy a lot of things. I have flicked through a few comments on here but see things differently. I think the banks are due a rebound. Any views on this?

This price fall might encourage more decisive action, back in October to check by which time hopefully the share will have stopped being punished and / or the strategic review begins to deliver.

Maybe a merger next.

Hoping they might have hedged some more and increased the overall price in that respect. I think everything has mostly been covered in other announcements.

Here's hoping.
Next few months could be good.

Some of these. Wonder where it will be next year or weeks, A bank with massive potential, maybe gobbled up.
