And in a side note. Last time I was in the Baltic (not so long ago), the DAN Pilots said they had never been so busy with tankers. Mostly from India and China loading cheap petroleum products from Russia. So whilst we suffer, those countries who chose not to support Ukraine benefit massively. π‘
The cost of re-routing around the cape of good hope is not so much financial. More so on time, which obviously has a financial impact associated with it. But the cost of the Suez transits are comparable to the added fuel going around the Cape. They are clever like that. My figures are a few years out of date but for a 'Suez Max' tanker, you were looking at about a million dollar fee for the Suez transit with the tonnage of that class of tanker, circa a million barrels.
The added time of 2-3 weeks passage time is the main financial cost.
I just can't see the point of such a low dividend.. If below rate of inflation what's the point?
Even pre COVID RR had a poor dividend payout. I'd rather they just reinvested the money.
Anyone enlighten me about why a company would pay such a low dividend? Don't tell me this investment grade bull from fund managers as surely they want to beat inflation at the MINIMUM too.. not that they always do..
You know it's the Suez canal which joins the Red Sea and Mediterranean right?
Also most of our LNG comes from Ras Laffan, Qatar - Nakilat and Qatar Gas. Some also comes from Bonny, Nigeria and other places. But majority is Qatar sourced.
Few days ago I cashed in some Lufthansa shares at a loss, adding another β¬30k to RR whatever that is in Sterling. Don't like buying on the up but was a good decision this far in hindsight.
I now have 100% investment in RR. Not wise to not hedge yourself but go hard or go home π.
I'll register that loss in next years self assesment.
Very very hard to work out how much I am up as I trade a lot, but I would say approx 250k profit in the past 3-4 years. Mostly down to RR. Mostly hold in my ISA. Another 17k and I can pay off my mortgage. Not that I intend to as I have fixed for 10 years at 2%.
I'm holding for my self build oak timber framed 5 bed house, tractor, a Hilux, a herd of Alpacas, some Highland cattle and a couple of dogs to keep Nettles away π
I will call IG next few days to place a 'guaranteed stop loss' at Β£2. They cost a few but are guaranteed. Be wary of standard stop losses that may not be triggered if the share price jumps it when the markets not trading. I don't like stop losses normally but I'm happy at a low Β£2 now we have reached Β£3.
Jonny, what will you spend yours on? I did like your picture, did you do that? So you are digital artist rather than traditional?
You pay CGT when you sell a share if you are over the threshold NOT when you withdraw it to your account. But anyway you have to declare it in a self assesment. It's not automatic. Most people here probably don't do self assessments. So what the tax man doesn't know about he won't charge you for. However you would have registered your NI number so they can find out if they so wish.
I do self assessments due to the nature of my work and I am an 'NT' tax payer legally so.
I am fortunate to have 85% of my holdings within my ISA and the remaining in share dealing account I have a REGISTERED loss with HMRC going back over a few years to count against any CGT that I may have to pay.. so I won't have to pay any CGT on it basically unless it rockets.
Investorintheknow - as I stated a few days ago if you have any actual losses (not paper losses) in the last five years you can register them in your self assesment and they can help reduce your CG.
It's a time consuming task if you are a regular trader. Best thing is to fill your ISA and then not worry about CGT or self assesment.
You will need to register for Government Gateway for self assesment if you have not already. Quite a few security hurdles to jump through for that.
Quite a few reasonably specialist and high level job positions being sort at RR SMR. You would ask why if nothing was in the pipeline..
