very pleasant! ...time to stop trading
slices here, just gonna sit back & wait for
the bacon, unless there’s a really sharp
dip from second wave of covid19 in china.

interesting question, whether they manage to retain control
with a minority IPO, which appears at least superficially to be
BOD’s preferred option for Jackson, or will someone just step
in to make ‘em an offer they can’t refuse? win-win either way.

ker-ching!

hi RMR, thanks for the civil response, appreciated. atb.

not looking so promising for that 3200 top-up, sigh,
but still time for a correction or two with US elections
stretching ahead of us ...come on joe biden, speak up!

(... or a really serious second wave in china would do it, too.)

nice little recovery recently.
1500s seemed a bit too cheap.

sorry guys, i realise i overlooked that other big reason suggested by
enthusiasts here about why dimitri let his warrants expire unexercised.

... so it isn’t just that he’s too rich already to bother about such trivial
amounts, it’s also because he’s just very altruistic & wants to distribute
‘largesse’ to AIM pis. very good to know, given altruism & generosity
not normally key characteristics associated with AIM BoD members.

RMR, if dimitri had been offered some kind of financial
compensation to persuade him to allow his warrants
to lapse, that should have been declared to the market.

so much for fox-davies... a parting of the ways.

hi sammm. funny thing is, it’s the same answer that plenty
of folk on here seemed to think was a sensible answer as to
why dimitri let loads of EUA 1p warrants expire unexercised.

... maybe dimitri’s too rich and has too many
shares to bother about trivial things like RNSs.

hi bigbadz, i think you misunderstand. i am primarily a longer term
investor in shares, rather than a trader, but i do actively trade some
chunks of stocks where I am overall long but see some good short-
term trading opportunities. so with BP recently, have been actively
trading back & forth some blocks of shares varying between 5-20%
of a core long holding. from a longer term investment perspective, i
am much more interested in *total returns* over time, from the combo
of dividends plus capital gains, rather than just dividends. so the point
is not that BP’s dividend doesn’t matter to me, more than in the longer
term i think the total return from holding BP will be higher if they bite the
bullet sooner rather than later on the divi, which looks unsustainably high.

i don’t think that’s about ‘the mood of the day’, but more about long term
shifts for the future of oil & gas, taking into account e.g. shale production,
global economic outlook, & carbon emission issues. all just imo, of course.

Aka, i own some BP, and am trading a few slices
back and forth in recent weeks. but think loomey
made a poor decision maintaining the divi last time
around. CEOS should be decisive when needed.

lol, do you think anyone’s
told that loomey fellah yet?

& again this morning.
enough for now.

BP now using 55$ brent as average for 2021 -
2050, for its long term investment appraisals.

AZN holding up very well compared to GSK (i hold both).

seems market more excited by the drug pipeline here,
and more wary of impact on consumer healthcare side
over at GSK given covid19. but is some about the CEOs?
pascal has clearly been delivering, emma yet to prove...

it would be a small positive sign for adme going forwards if OO
really is on a more reasonable package. if he is, he’s missing out
on positive PR that would have already come from declaring that.

... could be worse, they might be preoccupied
about reds under the bed, finding witches, etc.
