When it comes to having any spare cash around, I've always thought the best policy for any company to follow is:

1. Pay down debt.
2. Invest for growth.
3. Pay a Special Dividend.

And never buy back shares unless 30% below 1 year high and 50% below 3 year high.

good point Logan

I must admit not fond of share buybacks


Most of us whether investing in Europe,USA or elswwhere have been hit my the impacts

of the covid lockdown and then by the oil and gas price rises

Shell has been hit by Hurricanes

Some of us with varied portfolios have made gains and been satisfied with substantial dividends

As the saying goes

DO NOT PUT ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET



EDIT Nearing month end there might well be profit taking

@waldron
Your in denial. The ftse 100 is only 500 points above where it was in Dec 1999, in that time the S&P has 3xd. Why? Becos its full of rubbish like shell that has delivered a shareholder return of 3.5pc per annum over 20 years. Europe and the UK have been a black hole for investing and you say interest from abroad, yes, foreign companies able to buy up UK/euro assets on the cheap helped by the fact sterling has gone down against every major currency in the world for 11 years running. Smell the coffee you idiot, get your money into usd and your investments in quality growth. Both U.K. and europe high tax low productivity credit junkies and the future does not look good. UK’s problems of course juiced by the brexit self harming fiasco, leaving the largest trading block in the world with NOTHING to replace it with, duh.

I wish Shell would put a maximum they are willing to pay per share to buy back shares and once this share price has been reached to stop buying back any further shares, instead of just giving their broker money and telling them to buy back shares at what ever the cost., To only resume share buy backs if and when the share price drops below this said level.

Terrible. As soon as these get back to cost I’m out, another terminal U.K. company, the management as with all ftse dross are the absolute dregs. It is not run for the benefit of shareholders. Stick to buying US companies who are not wasting time with this green agenda boxxocks, as they say, they will pay it out in dividends and investors can use the money to plant trees if they want to. You can see why foreign investors have deserted Europe, its been a black hole for investment for 20 years.

Not really management. It is the Green agenda, in Holland as well.Green has gone rotten.

[xxxxxy] 28/10/2021 10:37

The government needs to get a grip, and there needs to be a Referendum about Green Policy.This was footnotes in the manifesto, but has become Destruction Policy.So major needs Referendum.

I thought you had previously said you don't invest in xxxx U.K. companies and only fast growing US ones.Either a little sad or lying a bit given how much time you spend on BB of large U.K. companies

Shell has posted a drop in profits for the third quarter, just hours after an activist investor demanded a break-up of the company.The oil and gas giant reported adjusted profit of $4.1bn (£3bn), up from $955m a year ago but well below analysts' estimates.The FTSE 100 stalwart blamed a $500m hit from higher costs for the lower profits, as well as a previously-announced $400m impact of Hurricane Ida. It comes after activist investor Third Point launched a shock attack on Shell, calling for the company to be broken up after taking a stake worth around $750mDan Loeb's fund said Shell had "too many competing stakeholders pushing it in too many different directions" and should spin off its oil and refining operations, allowing it to invest more in renewables.Auto updateOn9:44amShell boss defends oil strategyShell chief executive Ben van Beurden has defended his strategy of running the company's oil and renewables divisions side-by-side, and has taken a swipe at activist Third Point.The oil boss has insisted that Shell's legacy oil business is needed to finance the investment in renewable energy, saying its climate strategy will be hard to carry out if it splits.This is the opposite of what Dan Loeb's Third Point wants. In its letter last night, the Wall Street fund called for Shell to be broken up to avoid what it described as conflicting aims among shareholders.On a call with reporters this morning, Mr Van Beuden takes aim at Third Point, saying he doesn't think replacing long-term investors with hedge funds is very helpful as the industry tries to navigate the energy transition.The comments have done little to soothe investor jitters though, with shares slide as much as 3pc during the call....

Hadn't realised they already said the $7b would be returned at the time of the Permian sale announcement in September.'The cash proceeds from this transaction will be used to fund $7 billion in additional shareholder distributions after closing, with the remainder used for further strengthening of the balance sheet. These distributions will be in addition to our shareholder distributions in the range of 20-30% of cash flow from operations. The effective date of the transaction is July 1, 2021 with closing expected in Q4 2021.'htTps://www.shell.com/media/news-and-media-releases/2021/shell-signs-agreement-to-sell-permian-business.html

Less state interference. Take for example recent decision of Dutch gov regarding reducing emmissions

Would not be so sure of that kk

Had hoped you would give a long list of just advantages togetherwith disadvantages of relocating to the USA

Must admit i do not consider it a good idea

[kkclimber56] 28/10/2021 09:24

Not as silly as my top up at £24

[kkclimber56] 28/10/2021 09:01

Relocating

[kkclimber56] 28/10/2021 09:00

As a retired Shell man I have been thinking for some time that there may well be a gradual transition towards rebating in the US.
