Hi,
Wood Group will be well placed to hoover up any contracts available due to enforced financial problems or subsequent liquidation of oil sector businesses.
But no company is totally invincible to this global crisis. At these times this is when board decisions on a daily basis are absolutely crucial. As in nature, 'natural selection' will define the outcome and survival of the fittest.
Only invest what you can afford to lose. Be careful.
All the Georgey and best of luck.

Something about counting chickens comes to mind.Keep it hush on the divi, don't focus minds.Let it just happen,,quietly.
Just watched a YouTube video on ut trades, understand a tad more now.
That explains the uc abbreviation a trade is a trade it shows as a buy trade. Not sure about uc trades. Certainly not my 15m.
Cheers for info. Give more on uc if can.
Regards.

Gotcha Poker. Toff has his right to state his own opinions even if we might somewhat differ. Bet he is a great bloke to have a pint with though.
Don't be too 'arsh with folk you have never met.
The world would be a rotter of a place if we all had the same views with no one to banter with. Keeps us all sane.
Gonna walk my dog now. I have told wifey if I am not back within the hour I will probably be under arrest as it is his 2nd walk today.

I am getting a bit confused with all this banter.,gonna walk the dog for the 2nd time today. Am I running the risk of arrest.

Poker am I firing my arrows in the wrong direction.
Pokerface I sense I am a far superior investor to you and greater intellect having banked my 4k+ trading dividend profit on aviva yesterday and you whinging. . You are a sad investor. On the other hand I am a happy one that sees market crisis as great opportunities and you on the other hand to reach for tissue box.
Maybe the tissues have run out as you have shown your hand as being a sad brexit remoaner.
As you blocking me, I don't think so as we have not truly fallen out only a bit of banter.
All the Georgey
until we fence again.

Hi, bought a chunk of aviva around 2 weeks ago at 231p sold yesterday at 274p. Just pure luck not genius investing. Still taking a hit on on some of my other investments.Just thought sp was getting really cheap. You have to think that when sp was over 4 quid we would have been begging for these levels to get in. If you are waiting for a point to get in set a sp target and stick to it, if you miss your sp target you will be frustrated with yourself. Be prepared for wild swings in this environment.Do not invest too much that it makes you lose sleep. Be prepared for big dips before you can realise a profit.
For long term holders sit tight and chill it all out. Things will improve in long te rm. We might not be over the worst yet. Aviva has huge firewall of cash to buffer this crisis and believe me we are certainly in a crisis a lot of companies will be smashed by this.
On divi cancellation. I think it is correct. We are in uncharted territories andu board is holding back cards for long game to ensure the survival and strengthening the companies financial foundations. The evaporation of motor accident claims has to be a plus for insurers, could produce surplus cash. Other obvious sad consequences will be negative. Divis paid out cannot be got back to aid aviva. . When Divis are re instated a special dividend payment of some sort is not out of the question.
I always have some cash ready to get in on juicy low prices as we have now. My position is waiting on aviva to drop a bit further to get in again and take immediate profits instantly as any profit can vanish in minutes in this situation.
The suspending of divi makes aviva More investable for me as I have them in my long term portfolio along with others.It makes aviva safer. I hope this helps some with aviva and other interests.

Pearls ,
UK Government not renewing printing contracts and outsourcing the passport contract must have stung a bit.Corruption probe will not have helped either.When Governments lose confidence in companies they ply with cash that they take for granted then trouble looms.
Not in here,in Wood GP,SLA ,HSTG , AVIVA and SDRY at the mo.

Thinking of opening a trendy wheelbarrow store selling eco friendly nice looker streetwise barrows with single headlamp powered by the eco slim lined wheel via on board dynamo.Mini motor optional (powered by self generating of propulsion via increased outage generator) .The wheelbarrow will be designed in a windtunnel to achieve aerodynamic efficiency .It will be self funding and cash generative for daily users going about their daily business and commute due to it's obvious onboard advertising opportunities.
We're gonna need em if eco nutters get their way.
Any investors want to get on board ,text me.
In again at 350p.
All the Georgey.
End of oil rhetoric,sparky cars,eco nutters, rise of the wind machines, Globescaping solar panels,boiler scrapping ,LIB,LAB,GREENERS eco promises to get us back in horse and hand carts and of course the B word all contributing to SP compression.
Ain't scarin' me yo. In again for a few more.Excellent divi if it continues.Even if it is sliced a bit, I can handle it.
All the Georgey.
Correction..
Jeffries April rating.
Regards.
Today, Jefferies upgrades WG to HOLD sp target 370p.
Jefferies September rating as underperform with sp target of 650p.
Odd,maybe misprint.
No matter anyway,my sp target is 7 quid a pop.Nice divi while I wait. Excellent yield at the mo.WG stated a progressive divi policy.Latest report good.
All the Georgey.
Still around 6% divi after cut with possible special future payments,suits me fine,bought more and am holding long.Maybe a bid at these levels too.( icing on cake).
All the Georgey.
Upwards one hopes.
Bid at these levels has got to be a chance.SDRY sp will rocket skywards if any sniff of a bid comes.Anyone any idea who would be interested a TO of SDRY.Must be worth a tenner a pop to someone.Maybe Ted Baker.
Got a few more this morning.
All the Georgey to all invested.
Maybe extinction protests are rattling a few big investors as well as small holders too.Maybe selling a few off in anticipation of potential damage to energy companies.
Yes I agree with your view ,thanks for info' my2p.
