AAK, Believe me I want the full dividend I am 66 this month and Nomad by name and nature my UK N.I. is full of holes. I am no trader but I have made 60k profit during the past two years with my Shell shares. If I was to sell up now I would not know where to invest my money safely with a recession on the way. I remember 13 years ago when TW. Tanked to 2p!!! Luckily for me I bought 34,000 shares and still get a good dividend but I need more because there’s no social security where I live.
If the war stopped tomorrow I don’t believe the sp would drop more than 10% because there was a tight oil market before the war started. Also sanctions would continue for years to come and there’s no way Europe is going to do a U turn on energy supplies from Russia.
Investroid, I totally agree with all your comments. In four months it will be October and the northern hemisphere will be turning the heating back on. Only this time Putin could be waiting to turn Europes gas off in order to get maximum leverage for the lifting of Russian sanctions.
In a way I am also beginning to welcome this WFT if it is a once off payment.
I concur with Picstloup it should hopefully get the government, and others off our back then the company can feel free to increase the dividend and make other moves.
Dub, I am no trading expert so I would not make investment decisions by what happened on previous ex-div’s days as there has been so much crazy news. For example last November we were turning the corner on Covid then last February the Russians invaded Ukraine.
I would be extremely happy if we reach £26 by the 4th quarter results. £26 is higher than anyone of us has hoped for over the C-19 period. Then next year who knows £30 with a double dividend we can only dream…… Life changing for some
Why can’t Shell start drilling in the North Sea or the Shetlands? Surly if the hold up is due to government red tape this is the time to say to the chancellor we are waiting to invest in the UK’s future energy so let us get on with it.
When questioned about WFT the chancellor basically said it depends on the amount of UK energy investment he can see by Shell and BP. I think I am right in saying Shell stated they were going to invest 25 billion and BP. said 19 billion in UK energy over the next decade. So why don’t they just get on with it and avoid the threat of WFT, surly it is easier to spend a few billion rather than having it taken away. Does anyone know what the hold up is?
