Good morning Armani when I see the price up at 4.15 it brings me rushing to the board .

Happy Days and best wishes to all

Ive not been on here for a while as this board became a bit toxic but i saw the fall in price as a gift and added. I origonally bought in at 3.53 I top sliced at £4 ish. Held the remainder through the divi . I added again at 3.58. .

Nice article from proact this morning Marks and Spencer Group PLC

Good Morning Armani some positivity.

Lets leep it going.

Above 4 then more to come in leaps and bounds

Awaiting 5th of August .. GL all

To see BP above £4 ..... Will it hold by day end ?

Fingers and toes crossed

Thanks for the appreciation Clued yes I saw HBR dropped significantly on the bell..

Yes maybe a nice malt tonight its better than tea

Perspective

Ok so the price goes up and down..... We are used to it….. now the price is coming down again What do we do?

Some of us can take advantage of the price drop and buy in lower.

Some of us think oh no I’ve had enough of this and sell and get out.

The rest of us think ok what is the worst that can happen. SP falling…. well, it’s not going to kill us.

We get on with our lives. We go shopping. We go on holiday. We go to the pub.

We stay calm, carry on and drink tea.

Here we go opening at 363............ As per usual it makes no sense

Its almost like a script from a play.

Trump announced that Israel and Iran have fully agreed to a complete ceasefire, adding that Iran will begin the ceasefire immediately, followed by Israel after 12 hours. If both sides maintain peace, the war will officially end after 24 hours, concluding a 12-day conflict.

Sold a few Shell ,that’s the new double glazing paid for... Happy days for a change

Interesting we have gapped up on the daily price action and closed the down gap from 14th May

Almost classic T/A in action ( T/A says Gaps always get filled) ( wonders never cease)

HI Armani congratulations and well done for RR but sadly no I sold out on a high and gave the profits to my son to invest in his business ( which is doing exceptionally well . I will drop you an email

Interesting Bigbadbaz... BP touched 369 with in the first few minutes of opening an 8p rise falling back now.

Similar spike for Shell

SP Spike..... anybody?

Yes that right Primetime I’ve picked some up at 3.38 and 3.66 and that was including fees now I’ve moved over to T212 and its commission free so I will be averaging down even more on my next purchases.

GL all

Agreed Armani and Primetime will add as and when.

I know I keep saying we will have to sit it out and take divis in the meantime but Armani is right we need to get rid of the debt and it takes time.

Adding to our reason to sit it out and it’s not just us, a lot of Oil companies are experiencing flat or drops in their SP is the fact that Oil is in a state of stasis right now and the big players like Opec etc are trying to control the price and its very irritating sitting here and we can’t do anything about it.

As I’ve said before no one wins in a price war and the trend will turn and oil will go north, by then we will leaner and stronger be in a much better position to benefit from the rise.

GL all

Not much to laugh about these days but this had me chuclking Armani

"I certainly wouldn't count on Trump coming down Hard unless he raises a proforma invoice to the EU & UK."

Technical analysis… BP currently can’t break above the 20-day EMA its been trying hard for the last few days but ranges back and forth so our support is round about 358.50.

Brent and crude both put out big bearish engulfing candles on Thursday.

Right now, there are not a lot of positives but things can change rapidly.

However, if you are looking for a cracking dividend yield and are happy to wait it out and have some spare cash this could be one of the last times to pick up some BP shares at bargain prices.

GL all

Opec+ are always trying to control the price of oil their end goal is to kill off the shale oil producers fracking new wells. The problem with price wars is that nobody wins.

They should leave it to the market. GL all

Yes i saw that GS a good SP increase yesterday but dropped back a bit today.
