So much for the so-called benefits of share buy-backs. Never seen one that benefits shareholders whatsoever.

In the Top 20 Fallers again-c'mon Amanda-stick to your last instead of playing around elsewhere. Beggars belief that BP can't find its own new Chair

...day when we appear in the Top 20 Fallers, down well over 2%.

What is going on with on of the best solid divi payers in the market?

Points well taken TheTrotsky especially about the same divi pot between less shares in issue. Doesn't do the Directors any harm either!!

HL-ditto

Buyback having no effect whatsoever : never seen one that does.

SP peaked at 693 12.11.2.5 since which time it has fallen 11% as against a rise in the FTSE100 of 4%

Take no notice-only their second utterance in 3 years so smacks of pure knee jerk reaction to Trumpomania just for something to say

A solid company and one of the best divi payers in the FTSE 100 but we seem to appear in the Top 20 Losers more than seems justifiable.

Yes- hooray but do feel the 5% drop is a bit overdone- market still edgy about constant "Trumpeting" of dubious pedigree.

O tempora O mores!

Just shutting his ill-informed mouth (about everything!!) might be enough on its own.

His pronouncements are child-like in their content and delivery

Quit right chinch but you have to admit that despite cracking results, and cracking divi increase the fact it is bucking today's FTSE 100 trend and falling further is a tad bizarre!

...and with Buys exceeding Sells by 50%

Number 6 in the Top 20 Fallers

Total agreement!

However SP has fallen by 2.3% as against the FTSE rise of just under 1% so was the market expecting more and was disappointed-can't see how.?

"Doesn’t matter which government chancellor is in place 🫣"

Certainly doesn't.

Back in 2008 I had 2 letters from George Osborne promising ( a politician promising I hear you say) to raise the basic threshold for those over 65 I think it was, to £12,500 if the Tories were elected.

18 years later it stands at £12,570.

Liars, cheats and charlatans the whole lot of them. They can't even lie straight in bed

QED

R-

30 day rule/ Bed & ISA. Unfortunately it does apply unless you sell one share and buy another-that's how I read it.

"...if it follows admiral that has fallen 25% in six months..." Fallen 10% but it seems any recovery last few days is knocked back by the close. General sector nerves or someone with an agenda mucking about with the SP?

Thanks.

'fraid I view AI with a very jaundiced eye. It is far from accurate and is yet another techy bandwagon onto which all normally sane people are jumping as a panacea for all their ills.

Einstein was reputed to have said that if technology ever takes over we will become a race of idiots, or similar.

We shall see.

As to why we are taking such a pasting today, among the Top 10 FTSE 100 losers??

Sure is and illogical. Sold 2m: bought 3m

...and we've got big probs with our own "Leader" and his cohorts compounded in the last 24 hours by them giving the odious Chinese with their dreadful Human Rights record a huge spy base right in the heart of The City. THEN he is scheduled to go to Beijing to do yet more kowtowing to the Chinese.

You couldn't make it up
