Yep, buy limit order in for 8000 shares at 103p tomorrow. Hope it will dip 4% on open then rise rapidly - or perhaps I'll just have to be patient.

Half a BSD today but still more than welcome.

Buyers and Sellers not reading Broker's Tips?
What are they thinking?

Why are you stuck on one post despite posting multiple times today?
Do you have a weird account or are you a bot?

To be fair he / she said "7s tomorrow" not 7s at 1030 - so your comment will be more relevant at today's close.
I'm all for debate but read the posts properly.
Fluctuations minute by minute irrelevant but a positive close today may well indicate a bounce off a support level this morning.

Alternatively, it might not.

Dear all HL Investors,

HL have just issued the corporate instructions for relocation of HQ, merger of A and B shares and name change.
Log into your account, click blue icon next to RDS holding to vote. Needs to be done by 1200 6 Dec.

And there's lots out there - I just put in a buy order for 100,000 shares - immediate price of 8.39p so sellers still selling. Didn't hit Buy, I'll wait til it stops dropping (over 20% in 2 days).
Nice link RainMan - thanks. More pressure for Govt funding is the way forward here in the short term. Put your Govt money in the best place to match your COP words.

Just to cheer us long term posters / holders up.

Your call Bunks.

FTSE, Nikkei and US Futures all Green at 1406, VLS down 7.5%
So not quite the whole world down!

BC2020 - a few questions:
If as you say, "You can always see the bottom of the market easy, easy, easy" - why do you keep buying when it is not at the bottom? Just for excitement?
Do you think continued use of capital letters makes the share price rise?
As you've been continually wrong about share price movements can you please give it a rest for a while and reduce the risk of sensible posts getting lost in your continual drivel? Please.

Where are you all - out celebrating?

Andy,
Not sure you'll get that level of detail given:
- they probably don't know themselves given recent acquisitions. Wells might be dormant at present but suitable for re-start when geographically convenient.
- probably changes on a daily basis
- wells may cycle through production, pause, production., pause etc pre final closure.

All you can base your view on is that they will have to plug all wells eventually, are currently doing it ahead of state mandated requirements at an average price of £20k ish and that the total cost is factored into their plans as described here a few weeks ago (referenced to a DEC presentation).

MV - didn't say it was controversial and it does accord with my view.
My point was that these 2 types of post were all we are getting.

Ha - I used that logic when Woodford funds bought AA and Kier - didn't pan out very well at all!

This used to be quite a useful forum exploring the differing views between those who thought the technology would lead to success and those who doubted the ability of VLS to attract the required funding to continue.
Both points of view had merit and evidence to support.
Now it just seems to be people insisting it is going up like a rocket every day for eternity (yep that's you BC2020) and those who express a view that it might drop back before a more steady rise over several years.
Shares go up and down day to day whatever the general trend, with step changes on new news - that's applicable to the whole market, not just VLS. When prices are low (5p to 17p recently, it doesn't take much to move sharply hence it's previous rise to 17p and drop back to sub 5p). This may happen again or may not, irrespective of eventual rise.
Let's not confuse optimistic opinions or a hope that VLS will move differently to all other shares with facts. So by all means share some facts or express an opinion but a repeated this share is going to be X in Y days with no justification is just showing your ignorance and gets you filtered.
Personally , I see some merit over time but recognise that many holders at present are short term traders who want to capitalise on recent big movements - so the price is likely to drop back a bit before new news moves it onwards again (or vice versa if MoU does not become something more concrete).

Sensible post CL. All the talk about a green future appears to be focussed on defining the Nirvana endstste rather than the much more tricky path to get there. As Cheshire says, someone has to manage the transition and much like fossil fuel companies will have to use fossil profits to transition, the project managers and engineers will move from oil and gas projects to greener ones during the transition.
Don’t know what will happen to the share price but the WG skill sets will still be required.

Boyo - I've enjoyed your charts and theories about SP vs Brent for both RDSB and Genel.
Your assertion is that as Brent flattens off, then RDSB SP is likely to do likewise - a credible view.
What do you think it will take to alter the ratio and allow SP to rise whilst Brent stabilises?
- new acquisitions / ventures
- increased dividend
- Q4 cash inflows
- broker updates

None or any of the above?

Very logical - but who will the Project Manager be?
If it's a Govt appointee with civil service involvement then I doubt it will be complete within 15 years (there's probably 5 years of mandated Trades Union negotiation in there).
I did a thesis on Strategic Partnering for my MBA - conclusion was it works well if private, profit making companies are left to manage and make decisions (as they're all jointly aiming for delivery and hence profit) - once public bodies get involved it all falls apart.
Back to my previous point - defining the end state is relatively easy, it's the plan to get there that becomes the problem due to so many vested interests.

Whilst I can see future profit in making content, I'm less sure about advertising.
It would be interesting to hear whether ITV expect to earn more from advertising or more from people paying a fee to avoid advertising.
Thrust for ITV hub appears to be getting users to pay a monthly subscription to avoid adverts.
