ha ha. On balance that was my guess too!

sorry that should have read 'on or after' rather than just 'on. Pertinent bit is that it is not effective from the close of the Ex Div date, it is from market open.

I looked up the definition of Ex Dividend date. It said that any deal on the Ex Div date is just that - Ex Div. So people are selling that held on until the Ex Div date, as they prefer income from the dividend to capital gains.

The important thing is that sentiment has changed. There comes a point when buying dries up irrespective of how undervalued a share is, because there is expectation of a further drift down.

The Russian part of the business should be considered written off, at least in the short to medium term. Even if the Ukraine situation resolved immediately it will be years before exhibitions get back to normal in Russia

You talk a great deal of sense, its too easy to think that things are bargain and rush in/average down just to see things get worse. Probably better to watch and buy back in when the situation changes and the way forward is clear. Yes, you'll miss the bottom and you will buy on the rise, but that is a price worth paying because the bottom may be way lower than this (we don't know).

Following that point Enso it did cross my mind that BP and Shell recently fielded calls for a 'windfall' tax. That would be harder to resist next year if consumer energy prices remain high along with $100 PoO. However this situation with their Russian assets could help with their future defence

Ha, ha. Well done!

Agreed Happyinvestor. This is just going to give the UK government a clearer conscience, its not going to hinder the Kremlin and will devalue BP shareholders holdings. Thanks for that Mr Looney

This seems on the face of it premature. The situation is evolving so rapidly we have no idea where we will be this time next week. Withdraw the Rosneft Board members by all means, but for Looney to take this decision on behalf of all shareholders because makes me question whether he is the right man for the job.

Watching this having sold out on 15th Feb. I could do a 30 day for a profit but must admit I'm not really inclined to rush here. This situation is going to drag on for weeks or months and I can see Russia becoming a totally isolated State (especially if they employ increasingly inhumane weaponry in their frustration) which will only change when Putin and all puppet politicians associated with him are permanently removed from power.

C&B, LoB, another good result. Surely not another last gasp survival courtesy of Mr Dyche?

I see it has nearly 36 million views. Wonder if that 36 million different people or one bloke 36 million times

How about you contributing some analysis of Ariana to the forum Bjeise?

Why are they down the bottom of the PL? They played so well Saturday
Yes AAU is an enigma. Trouble is that it seems very little buying or selling shifts the price dramatically. Hoping for Tavsan and Cyprus news this week.

Be interested to see if the new found SP rise continues tomorrow

helloooooooooooooooo. Is there anyone out there. I'm lonely

Good result for Burnley even if I got the opposition wrong!

Glad you have unswerving confidence in TC sja. Relatively few of us on this board have such unwavering confidence these days

to the unofficial AAU lse premier league team against the Canaries today
(and Rovers against Bristol City of course)
