as a fellow Dons supporter,it’s a terrible time right now ,but things can only get better.

I did think about 70% of posts were ok,
and for the rest there is the filter.
The teapots will soon leave if we all have them filtered.
It sure took my stress levels down ,when I first filtered

Think I will invent an investing equivalent of Murphy Law.
If you have two choices for your Investment money ,the one you don’t buy always does best.( unless someone already invented it)

Maybe they should do something,but with agreement of all political parties that it means Windfall tax off table for lifetime of this parliament.

I know that makes sense,
but is it not the boards job to get as high a sp for share holders as possible .
Think there is somewhere in between that keeps everyone happy.
I also believe that board expected buyback to have already moved sp much higher.
Personally not unhappy with buybacks ,but can understand that anyone who bought in at £5 or more for yield cannot want things to continue as they are

Jakers
Think if we can’t move on div now when would it ever happen.
Think things are finally all in line to finally allow

I keep saying it’s a totally different company from April 19.
Truth is it’s a totally different company from before Sunday announcement.
BP have a lot more political wriggle room now ( as will book a loss).
They also have approx 25% rise in oil sp.
Just maybe it’s time to reward the shareholders for Sunday by a bit more on div?
We would have been so excited on the way back up to £4 a couple of weeks ago if
sp had went up 30p in 3 days like this week,but everyone has other thing on their mind just now.
What if BP did a deal with Reliance Industies of India for the Rosneft stake,we could do a deal for something of theirs and then they could buy ours,they appear to work well together already.Think India probably would accept, and also Russia.
Just thinking outside the box,and Reliance got involved with BP immediately after Oil spill when we were unpopular.
If we get money for the stake think £5 is very possible,especially is div was to increase.
Just my opinion

Just looked at oil price. 114.5
I make that a 25% rise since results day.
It’s really hard to get excited at the moment, but that as a surprise.

Getting lots of green messages since switched on some filters tonight.
If that’s their level Ukraine should win

The Russian oil and gas giants listed on the London Stock Exchange have seen their shares crashing after Putin invaded Ukraine last week.

Since last Thursday, when Russia invaded Ukraine, shares in Rosneft, Gazprom, Lukoil, and Surgutneftegas collapsed on the London market, losing as much as $190 billion of their combined market capitalization, or 95 percent, according to estimates from Saxo Group and Bloomberg shared by Saxo Bank’s Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hanse
I worry that Russia may win the battle in Ukraine, but am getting more convinced that they will not win the war, as guerrilla warfare will start, and it looks like the economic sanctions are starting to cause real pain to Russia.

Almost 70% of Russian crude oil exports do not have a buyer according to UK-based research consultancy, Energy Aspects.
Hopefully we can get to 100%,but that still leaves all the gas that’s still coming to Europe.
Doubt much of what’s happening economically would have been predicted.
Hope Ukrainian war does not last till then but in a month they can cut back gas needs as warmer weather arrives.
It’s a repeat of my message from 15:15 just for you
Don’t think they need to sanction oil if already 70% is unsellable
Apparently gas is slowly going the same way according to latest headlines with more and more contracts with Gazprom being deleted

Probably all sold on Monday to buy back in lower

As an ex employee and shareholder I agree totally.
If the board have read this so we’ll, it maybe means they are reading their whole transition to an energy company also.
Think they a board who here and listen unlike some who know best.
If they really get the energy transformation balance correct this will be one hell of a company in 5 or 6 years.

The Trans-Adriatic pipeline (TAP) will be "in full regime" in 2022 and 2023 and will transport 10 billion cubic meters of gas per year to Europe, of which 8 bln for Italy, Managing Director Luca Schieppati told daily Il Messaggero on Wednesday.

Asked about the times needed to increase the capacity of the infrastructure, Schieppati said that more than 50 months from the signing of contracts would be required to "fully double" capacity.

TAP is the final leg of a $40 billion project named the Southern Gas Corridor. TAP stakeholders are BP, SOCAR, and Snam, with a 20% holding each, plus Fluxys with a 19% stake, Enagas with 16%, and Axpo with 5%.

Just in time to help a wee bit

Happy
I would however agree that good diplomacy from all sides should have been used to prevent it.
It’s always going to be easier a second time.
Think after Crimea Putin felt he could not loose.

Happy
Chamberlain’s RAF only consisted of a few squadrons of Spitfires and maybe twice as many squadron’s of Hurricanes.
It’s considered that despite his reputation he did actually buy the RAF time to just have enough planes and RADAR and Fighter Command just in time for Battle of Britain.
Also we were building Battleships like crazy and never during WW2 had enough
At Munich we would not have won Battle of Britain

It now must be obvious to all that if BP had not made the decision on Sunday,by now we would have had no choice but to leave also.
Credit to the board for leading instead of deciding they had to follow.
BP always tried to work outside politics,but this time , I think they had no choice,and it must help their image and brand going forward.

First attempt at a link so if does not work can somebody tidy up for me

Suspect they are currently discussing with UK and International tax experts best way to handle as I think the difference between handling it effectively or not will be worth lots of millions of dollars ( possibly even over 1b dollars)
