Seriously though so many dividends gone or reduced. This a good share but difficult to price just now!

BP an amazing company. Just look how it pulled through the spill in the Gulf.Its dirt cheap this company but RDS so expensive!

I thought they were being rebranded as NatWest - that’s always been good as are the 9%prefs!

Must never be allowed to happen. Other countries already too much influence in our media. Britain 1st!

BT should remain a British owned company. Urgently need a new category of National Protected Company. Whole list of good companies we have lost sold by shareholders. This should not be allowed but investors must still get a decent return. Simple way is that can only hold ‘variable rate ‘Preference Shares!

Time for the next 1 share for 10. ‘Consolidation’ - it could go on for years with savers getting nothing and shareholders being milked

BP. a much better hold than Shell for now. Much better focusssed . Combustion oil is going to be around and used for long time yet. BP output much lower break even level than John Browne’s old $60 level . Renewables will continue to come on stream but it’s a competitive market and bottom line is costs of investment and production.

More likely a scrip div as seem intelligent. BP was doing well until this virus turned up are more focussed and they can break even well below Browns old $60 level whereas Shell is burdened with all the debt and baggage of BG purchase not to mention its other problems. Difficult to value RDS because as the CEO wrote on April 16 from now on they are not the same company. Their budget is being rewritten. The divi is reset quite low I think but they will be ridding of capacity that will pay it. But their future depends upon how they
re- route themselves - there is still an availability of combustion oil but to balance with renewables and the respective costings - investment and production in supply but also in output prices affected by fluctuations in demand and competition in supply and demand purposes!

Who will rescue them ? Maybe the Chinese will buy this bank?

Worth about £9-10.

Seem to be big co-op vans near their shops everyday but cheaper and very busy

But I am still keeping a few because renewables are good for the environment and long term what we should be doing!

Oil company profits dive because of cheap oil . But when oil is cheap it’s because it’s plentiful and therefore easy to think what do we need renewables for -it’s short term thinking but does not help ‘ renewable ‘ companies when their output is if temporarily their output is uncompetitive?

Yes pay dividend but not much. Will be better value in the recession-keep,fingers crossed?

Brokers last guesses put high SP ! But what’s BP really worth? £3 looks a safe value not to worry about. If goes to near £2 again by some quirk of events/news/ manipulation that a bargain top up to average!

This fund invests in the miners as well as in the oil companies and the miners benefit from cheaper oil. Stock is at bargain level could temporarily go lower because of oil price but lot of rebound space here ahead.

Are you saying the special dividend will be taken back in a share consolidation? So in effect you get nothing ?

If they and Shell just pay scrip this time no problem . Ideal solution- those that need the cash can sell into the market! F

Actually water charges for metered supply very reasonable in NW with UU but the surface water charge is very expensive to take away clean water. Getting a rebate very difficult and they exclude you from claiming if have a water butt!

Loved these @47p in the financial crisis when yielding about 18% - hope to get back there!
