"Indeed, the true horror of Marvin's existence is that no task he could be given would occupy even the tiniest fraction of his vast intellect. "
Thanks for the compliment potnak and glad that I made you smile. That was the intention and, yes is the answer to your question. That is, for the time being.
Zylo-if I have no shares would not be posting on this board-lack of logic there.
Out rest of day so no more scintillating posts.

Market not expecting any fireworks it seems-SP down 5 pips already and will be much more when we have listened to the usual damp squib.
How unusual.

johny-good luck on expecting a reply. I have written to her 3 times now and not even the courtesy of an acknowledgement -a truly arrogant attitude from one who has brought her brash US habits with her. The sooner she goes back the better clutching, no doubt, a big golden goodbye courtesy of the UK taxpayers after having achieved nothing.

Can't think for a moment that AA stepping down is part of any deal. If he involved himself in such an agreement, and I can't see him even considering it, it might be seen as tantamount to a tacit admission of guilt on the part of Petrofac and, as we all know NEITHER PETROFAC NOR ANY OF ITS PRESENT EMPLOYEES have been formerly accused of anything. It beggars belief that after nearly three and a half years the bean counters have come up with nothing.

It was sick making to read about f...ofsky strutting and preening about the Unaoil conviction when she was not even around when the investigation was announced. Smacks of someone grasping at straws after the collusion with a US private investigator scandal of some months ago.

Yes, and after being awarded CBE's.!!!!!
Should be taken away forthwith for screwing the country that has made them billionaires.

try getting an online quote for selling. Door firmly closed

The MM's have had their early morning games and now the slide commences.
How unusual.

In my experience Mitchell never responds to anything, even legitimate questions a shareholder might ask.
The BoD's disdain for us SI's is now blindingly apparent, the only use we are to them is when they are running out of money to fund their six figure salaries and the NED fees for being in pole position for the World finger twiddling championships.

"Why be so passionate about one of your companies, and not the other"
Perhaps he feels the one has more potential than the other or perhaps the one pays more than the other??

I notice the idiotic starring out of the word that is the opposite to hen is still on the go, but the clowns who programme the system still allow swear words on this BB.
Sign of the times-literacy and common sense both at an all time low

Thank you for the detailed run down of your portfolio-I'm sure we are all overjoyed to hear all about your personal affairs but I have to admit to being slightly puzzled.
You state ".....am mainly in physical gold/silver and related stocks" but then go on to ask "How do you invest in the gold market? " Doesn't seem to add up.

We're all p....d off to the back teeth with BP's dismal SP: doubts about Looney's strategy: continual conflicting edicts from Government re China Virus:the onset of dark nights/approaching Winter etc etc. BUT C'mon Guys- chewing chunks out of each other ain't going to make anything better. Just count your blessings that you have money to play the stock exchange when millions are having a bloody hard time just making ends meet.
GL to you both and us all.

Forgot to mention-Buys outstrip Sells today 78/22 but the s.....g SP still falls.
Any bright theories out there anyone????

I do hope you are right Radar, but if the medium term future is so gloomy, to say the least, with the consequent downward impact on the SP,why is the shorting fraternity not stepping in big time?

What shorts-can't find any data anywhere?

Hennabibi.
Can you get someone to write your posts for you in English. At present they are totally unintelligible

Agree completely with what you say about the global crisis

Unfortunately you missed the point completely. I agree with what Looney is trying to do, but disagree completely with the way he is going about it. It ain't going to happen overnight, far from it and anybody with a grain of common sense knows that we are going to need fossil fuels for the foreseeable future.

I would applaud mightily if the inhabitants of the drought ridden/flooded/poverty stricken countries could be freed from their reliance on fossil fuels (I have worked in some of the "drought ravaged regions of Africa and the areas of South East Asia" so probably have more first hand knowledge of the subject than yourself) but the point I was trying to make is that the transition is going to cost mega mega bucks AND THEY CAN'T AFFORD IT unless the developed World undoes its purse strings big time and bails them out. Can you see that happening?

So, am in complete agreement with you but please do not presume to lecture me on my financial persona or my attitude to future generations, both of your comments being way off the mark.

Talk about the "end of oil" is utter and complete eyewash and can only be uttered by those living in countries where money can be thrown at "green" projects to dance to the tune of the environmental lobby's agenda and make a bunch of self-seeking politicians strut and preen.

Try telling a peasant farmer in the wilds of India and Mexico and other similar populous countries, scratching to make a living, that he must eschew the use of fossil fuels in favour of high tech gizmos which cost a bomb to buy and to mend when they go wrong and then wonder why he shows you the door, (to put it politely)

Try telling anybody for that matter.

How many people can afford over £30k to buy a planet saving car the use and efficacy of which is being called into question already because of the plundering of the planet for lithium and the ultimate recycling problems when batteries wear out?

Looney may be well intentioned but publicly putting the skids under his core business and making vague noises about an "alternative" future for the company, before having thought through a detailed transition plan, is highly irresponsible and has contributed to the present dismal state of the SP.

Translation please.
