So in the middle of a crisis

and only 5% below the all-time high

that shows how amazingly strong the share /company is

it shows that once this is over we could see a 20% 30% or significant rise over the course of just a few weeks or months

and maybe an incentive to order SMRs

Tough luck.

We know the risks of shares.

Stop looking at the share price until the war finishes

Isn't it amazing

If the share price goes up 10% we are back in the 1300s

The girl that was hanged is real, as reported in numerous news sites.

They also killed 30,000 plus people.

But anyway, this thread is not for political debate.

RR is an international company.

Someone here probably knows what % of business is overseas -

I's guess it's 80% plus outside the UK.

Sitting on your hands is a good idea....

The original book that established these emotional lessons is The Intelligent Investor, written by Benjamin Graham and first published in 1949.

Graham is widely known as the "father of value investing" and was the primary mentor to Warren Buffett. In this classic text, Graham emphasizes that an investor’s chief problem—and even their worst enemy—is likely to be themselves.

The "Mr. Market" Allegory

The most famous lesson on emotions from the book appears in Chapter 8, titled "The Investor and Market Fluctuations". Graham introduces a hypothetical business partner named Mr. Market to illustrate how to handle market volatility:

The Concept: Imagine you own a private business and every day your partner, Mr. Market, offers to buy your interest or sell you his at a specific price.

The Emotions: Mr. Market is "manic-depressive." On some days, he is wildly optimistic and names high prices; on other days, he is consumed by panic and offers to sell for almost nothing.

The Lesson: Graham argues that the "intelligent investor" should not let Mr. Market's mood swings dictate their own emotions. Instead, you should only interact with him when his price is either a bargain (to buy) or irrationally high (to sell). Otherwise, you are free to ignore him entirely.

Kharg Island may be too.

I hope your prediction of £30.00 is right sir.

Tending to think £24 in next 12 months

By the way, many people are surprised (I was) when they find out how much US debt China owns..... Less than 3%.

Do you have any links for this?

Taiwan annexed by the West?

When the Chinese Communists took over China, the only part that stayed free from Communism was Taiwan.

Mr Panic

Strait of Malacca (Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia): The world's busiest strait, with over 80,000 vessels annually passing through the territorial waters of these three nations.

Strait of Hormuz (Iran, Oman): A critical energy route connecting the Persian Gulf to the open ocean, where shipping routes often enter the territorial waters of Iran and Oman.

Strait of Bab el-Mandeb (Yemen, Djibouti): Connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden; a vital link between Europe and Asia.

Turkish Straits (Bosphorus and Dardanelles): Located entirely within Turkish territorial waters, connecting the Black Sea to the Mediterranean.

Strait of Gibraltar (Spain, Morocco, UK): A natural bottleneck between the Atlantic and Mediterranean.

Danish Straits (Denmark, Sweden): Includes the Great Belt, Little Belt, and Øresund, which connect the North Sea to the Baltic Sea.

Strait of Dover (UK, France): The narrowest part of the English Channel, considered the busiest shipping lane in the world.

This is like arguing that the UK and France should charge transit fees for going through the Channel.

Anyway, the straight isn't just Iranian, on the opposite side is Oman. So they would be able to let ships through their side for free, or charge too.

That's why it needs to be captured.

The US can then charge a levy of say $20-$40 per barrel until the cost of the war is covered.

Stop panicking

A good time to buy back, is when the shares are cheaper.

In effect we as shareholders are buying these shares - as we own the company overall.
