Lets see how much greenback Looney throws at buybacks in the near future. That may well shake things up a bit. If its 2+ billion, I wouldnt expect the SP to be lolling around 325 for long.

I can see us hitting the 2018 within 24 months.

Then the world is going to have an almighty hangover from the inflationary mess Covid has left us all.

Firmly believe that BP is below the radar, due to the environmentalist brainwashing everyone seems to have received over the past 16 months.

Once people acknowledge we are going through a very long term transition (the media portrays this as an overnight swap), Gordon Gekko's time immemorial phrase will come to the fore.

Well overdue a re-pricing, and as soon as retail get on board, its going be a rapid liftoff imho.

Good to see Bitcoin finally wallowing in a pit of despair. Once the 29,000 barrier is breached, the backside will fall out of it. Too many amateur technical analysts keeping it topped up at the moment.

They can have a factory the size of an Amazon warehouse. If it’s not full of kit and producing revenue, it’s a wasted investment in my eyes. What percentage increase in shop floor space vs how many track printing machines vs how much new business? Seems to me that floor space has been procured without firm orders.

Re: topping up. Is that after the market maker has raped you for 10% on the spread?

I wouldn’t call 13% down and a 15p bid-ask spread a great start to the morning to be honest. I would have expected revenues to been up a lot more than they are; whilst it’s a great product, it seems that they are struggling to get customers in at present. A long term hold for me; but too many AIM stonks have gone the same way, promising much and delivering loss after loss

I bet the Shorters are having their fun today! looks like its going to be tradey up until results day.

Hasn't stopped them doing a load of stimulus though. They can say what they like. Whilst they keep on pumping greenback into the market, commodities are only going one way in the short to medium term.

Mine was in the account before open today. ii.co.uk - pretty good.

Thanks Zac.

where is best to look from a metals perspective to do some research? Im looking at diversifying into miners, particularly anything that isnt gold. Who would you recommend? Im after steady gains and divvy, NOT AIM lose all your cash trash.

A few thick vaccine dodging northerners will cop it. 98% of vulnerable categories have been vaccinated.

The bodies will have to be piling up in A and E's doors before we contemplate any more nonsense.

Was just about to say this!!! for all the moaners who complain when its the other way around!

I wonder how BPs trading arm are doing? I bet they are raking it in!

Are they permitted to trade in their own share, or would it be purely commodities prices (I.e. oil)?

Inflation is a temporary phenomenon. Rinse and repeat. Why would they up rates whilst carrying out stimulus? That’s like setting your own house on fire then calling the fire brigade.

If they intended to tame inflation, they will stop printing as much new money and pumping it into the system.

Fortunately, the politicians have said tonight that it will have to get pretty much to grannygeddon before they revert to draconian lockdown. About time to benefit from the rather huge volume of
Money that has been generated and in the system at present. Party on! ??

Not sure the costs haven’t been scaled back - BP had a huge redundancy programme, plus disposals seem to be trimming the dead wood from the company’s balance sheet. That field they sold in scotland was well past it’s best. BP have also avoided having to pay disposal costs. Be interesting to see the next balance sheet and see what impact on costs their strategy is having.

Nice to be at the top of the FTSE100 Pick today!
