Daily SMA 200 at 467 may support.

[neilyb675] 17/3/2014 15:59

440 coming

[hellscream] 17/3/2014 15:05

Well atleast the shares going down is good for the divi i guess >.>... dont mind a 50% discount.

[smurfy2001] 17/3/2014 12:41

Worth waiting for the drop further down before buying.

[bracke] 17/3/2014 12:37

Where is support?

Currently just below the lower line of the rising wedge at 477 but the Daily SMA200 at 467 would appear to be more likely support.

If the Daily SMA 200 fails then maybe down to the lower line of the rising channel at 440.

Maybe the West should have drawn breath to consider the situation before leaping to condemnation. After all most of the inhabitants of Crimea (and eastern Ukraine) believe themselves to be Russian. When Khrushchev gifted the Ukraine these lands, he believed it didn't matter because it was 'all in the family' and was a gesture, rather than anything else.

I agree with benchmark #84208 that the oligarchs were too busy with their noses in the trough to worry about borders, but the fact is, that Crimea and eastern Ukraine 'fits' better in Russia than Ukraine.

There really was no end to the Cold War - just a brief period when Gorbachev shone a light on Europe and it shone brightly enough, and for just long enough to allow all of those imprisioned counties, from Poland south to Slovenia, to slip our of the clutches of The Bear. And so strange that they were hardly out of Moscow's grasp when they rushed to give away their newly-won independence to Brussels(?)?
I guess the oligarchs and senior civil servants who had all the documents and deeds in their hands had a lot more interest in stuffing their pockets with the wealth of Russia's natural resources than in holding onto the remnants of the Western Front of the USSR.

Markets are surely heading into upheaval for a while? I don't know enough about European supplies and how dependent we might be on Russia. But global markets can hardly remain uneffected?

Russia under putin is a return of the USSR. Best we get out and rearm, and bloody quick.

Am seriously thinking of selling out. Russia will take a poor view of UK business if sanctions are ivoked. Wouldn't be surprised to see any Russian assets seized by the local authorities and told to 'go away back to Great Britain'.

Between a rock and a hard place then - aka being totally fracked!

Between a rock and a hard place then?

[robertfaulkner] 14/3/2014 17:27

BP allowed to bid again for oil in US for first time since Deepwater

Unfortunately Russia to take over all BP's assets in Russia, if the world puts sanctions on it.

[bracke] 14/3/2014 10:48

Given the experience of what happens in the US when there is a problem, perhaps the news item should send the share price down.

[redartbmud] 14/3/2014 08:20

Stormy

They thing that the well of compensation is running a bit dry, so they need to top it up - to screw more out.

[onlyonestorm] 14/3/2014 00:35

What do you think happend Robert... Daddy woke up in the afternoon, london is just a lapdog to new york. just watch our markets when the yanks got a bank holiday... our market might as well be shut.

[robertfaulkner] 11/3/2014 18:42

What happened at 3pm today, to turn a lovly riseing share price into loss on the day?

[robertfaulkner] 09/3/2014 14:14

At least the bill is going through unopposed in parliament, to allow assisted suicide.

Just in time for us 'baby boomers' to be able to control when we go and not pay hundreds of thousands to sit and dribble in a care home.

[robertfaulkner] 09/3/2014 14:07

Andrew Neil, on This Week, BBC1 Thurs, said if the UK puts sanctions on Russia then Putin will take oil fields away from BP in Russia

[hellscream] 08/3/2014 04:11

if the dow sells off than 450 it is lol >.> As that dog of a FTSE ever been up when the dow is down?
might as well make all the traders in london part-time (working hours from 14:30-16:30)... we dont need'em.

[neilyb675] 07/3/2014 17:08

480........next week choppy I reckon 450 sooner or later. Load then.

[donaferentes] 07/3/2014 12:26

What's wrong with the gently rising channel, establishing higher highs and higher lows as we oscillate between the two? Oh, plus the 5.2% dividend.

[smurfy2001] 07/3/2014 11:02

Will buy at 440p.
