tom48. No. FTSE down 0.5%, BP down 1.5%, SHEL down 0.2% GKP down 8%. Something else is afoot.

Lostinfrance, that is not a reliable trend. In fact I haven't observed that in the last year or so. Have a look at SP on the last XD date as a case in point.

Bear in mind that the next two dividends are typically over double the amount of the last two. Could drive share price higher in the short term.

No dividend. I'm out util March next.

hubstein, I am also thinking of selling now as I am around 20% up excluding divi. And buying again after the ex divi drop. You are right to say that it is a matter of strategy. In conclusion, I think I will sell half in the hope of buying in a lot lower. I don't need to sell for about three years or so. I think that gas price is big news and will propel the SP upwards. So yes, I will sell half my holding if it continues north tomorrow.

Hi, I had more or less written these off a couple of months ago but now I see here it is possible to get a paper share cert. What steps does one need to take to get this?

Jatw, you have great understanding of this company. Thanks for your insights.

Jatw, you have a much better understanding of the business that I do. Can you explain how Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) could result in a loss? Is this merely a reporting variance or does it reflect a real loss? Either way, market seems upbeat on results.

Hi folks, I see next ex div date is 18 Aug but it has not yet been declared? I've checked in the usual places and can find no info re the dividend amount.

SD235, as you are curious, at today's value it's £16k. My second largest holding after IMB. In a pension fund. Not money I can blow away on holidays!

Careful; some people on this board may have a couple of thousand invested and others over a million. It's all relative. I don't disclose info about my wealth or poverty.

Monty, you remain silent as to your sources. Can you elucidate, otherwise you will be considered as merely a troll.

There is a tension building globally about gas supply that seems to me is driving DEC SP higher, even though the company hedges. I cannot see a one-off flooding event outweighing that trend.

Trek: "all energy" mostly does not sound diversified. Apart from that, why choose Energy? May I ask what other Energy stocks you favour?

Phyl, I agree re your assessment of these 'analysts'. They seem to adjust their targets closer to the medium term historic median price so that they don't look like idiots. I recently watched the Nflix 'Inside Job' re the 2008 crash. Ratings agencies S&P, Fitch and Moodys were giving AAA ratings to subprime mortgage CDO's right up to the crash. None of these people can be trusted to 'analyse'.

Does anyone know the date of US listing? This is now in my top 3 holdings and I continue to add each quarter using divis from elsewhere.. I would be hoping that US listing would have a positive impact on SP, but I have no evidence to support my hope!

People seem to have taken advantage of this fact to sell; can't explain the small drop otherwise. The two big bonanza divis are paid here in Dec and Mar next, so I'm holding!

...I take no action? If I don't pursue a paper certificate? Do nothing? Will I ever be able to retrieve my shares and sell them?

I don't take anything on this or any board seriously. I have only reported posters who are abusive to others. "a danger to all"; oh c'mon! Lol

I have no faith in these 'analysts'. If the share price has been falling and is now 25% below their old target price, they adjust the target downwards so as not to look like idiots. They do the same in the opposite direction. There is no actual 'analysis' undertaken.
