Don't know John, just checked for the first time since pre close on Friday.

Was fully expecting another rns update, so much so that until I read your post to confirm there was none, I thought my mobile was perhaps broken lol.

So going by the rns Shell won't be making any bid for at least 6 months, but there's the "Note 2 on Rule 2.8 of the Code" to consider.

So if your not interested, then why would you be interested if someone else decided that they would launch a takeover?

Is it simply because you would not want to miss out, or perhaps because you really are interested but not quite at this time. However should someone else make a move you want to have a seat at the table.

I expect there will be lots of number crunching going on over the remainder of this year, where upon in 6 months time if no one else has came forward. Shell will indeed make a move.

The only spanner in the works I see is if the next boss of BP turns things around RR style and there's a return to a much higher SP through either oil price, changes in business plans or a combination of both.

You can read rule 2.8 in to it surely.

It's a funny one Aspers. Like you state "they're not interested unless someone else is interested"

To me that makes them very much interested, bit like the choice of words "not actively consideringf" from the rns.

Again, to me that statement is open to some debate in exactly what you call actively.

It's like a casino with trump in charge of the roulette table, and those shuffling the decks in what appears not much different to a fixed game of poker, sucking players in with one price rising act, then cashing in their chips before dealing the next losing hand.

I'm guessing we might see somewhere around £4.08, going to be a waiting game for any Iranian response and 20% I'd think.

Should however make Friday's drop be a one day event lol.

Not surprised Ben, the UK has become an absolute hell hole where there's an increasingly growing movement of people who feels it's fine to target people based on the actiins of their governments, as if they are responsible.

It's crazy, probably not helped in what used to be peaceful protest has now been replaced by the typical scenes of violence towards police , rioting and the looting of high street businesses being allowed to happen on an ever increasing frequency.

Add B2's on route to Guam along with IAEA reporting, expect that 2 week window that Trump has been talking about might well be narrowed.

Expect Friday's dip in oli price to be short lived.

Will be on my radar Dusty. See what happens once things calm down.

Used to be crackerjack that I looked forward to on a Friday, for the last few weeks it's been the met1 dilution rns.

Wish I'd bought at 9p and jumped ship with 100% profit on the most recent incredible bounce.

But too fearful of a total collapse so decided no.

See Donald has ordered all civilians to leave any US bases, and embassies within striking distance of Iran to carry out emergency plan.

Could wee see oil at 100 again soon.

Yup Maj.

With the info pinging to everyone's phone instantly I just don't see the point in it being a Friday. Everyone interested will know anyways.

Suppose it allows the price to rise the previous few days to allow some to get out with that big profit you point out

Looks like very easy money and an easy days work for some

Why is it that it's usually a Friday when news is released of further dilution through an amount of new shares being added to the market.

Is there a legal reason, or is it simply through choice.

I'd suggest anyone thinking about averaging down, who perhaps bought in during the stampede from 40 up to over 50p carefully considers their choices.

A loss is bad enough, a sizable one even worse. Averaging down might work well on a ftse 100 / dividend stock where the cyclical nature of the world will see your money returned at some point.

This is still a stock that can fall further, yes it can also open higher, but although I like the story so far there's a lot of water to flow under the bridge before it's a must have.

Just my opinion, if I'm wrong then I'm honestly happy for anyone that's bought higher and makes profit. It's not nice being in the red.

No castle. 30p was only a number I could see it easily hitting since first posting my thoughts.

I think there icoukd be a long way to go yet not willing to take the gamble.

Global gazette already about 30% under then. 🙈

Glad I picked up the Beano this week at the news agents.

Always gets me plumb.

No matter the volatility, there's always a few that proclaim to not only get in at the very lowest, but out at the highest lol

That's what I thought bob when I posted the same recently. But with a coin you know your getting a head or a tail.

As others have highlighted, a lot of unknown with this.

Lost track of all the various rns regarding warrants med.

Certainly a big factor in why I'm happy to watch this one at the moment.

I'm assuming at least some these large blocks going through are ii's taking their profits? Usually that leads to one outcome.

That incredible run up to 55p or thereabouts has made a lot of people a lot of profit. Unsustainable, reality now kicking in I suspect.

Expecting a few Friday announcements going forward?

Looking like that Dusty.
