The key factor here is your view of the oil/gas price.The performance of the share is primarily geared to this.It then boils down to timing of when to buy.Oh for a crystal ball!

Acticle in the Weekend FT.

It is about arbitrage.

Says that, at the moment BG shares are 10% undervalued, if the deal goes through.

I am guessing, there is a big loss ( having bought BG) if the deal does not go through.

What are we saying here, everyone is betting against the deal going through.


PS, everyone on here seems to be buying Shell, inc myself.

colinio, I agree, a deal was priced in, that's now the problem
as Monday is likely to show.

[84stewart] 27/6/2015 18:34

changed 7/4

[trulyscrumptious] 27/6/2015 18:29

Bookmakers didn't do so well at Ascot.

[wipo1] 27/6/2015 18:21

Colinto Odds have now changed it was 1/7 for Greece to stay in euro now 5/6.

[colinio] 26/6/2015 14:01

Markets would have fallen regardless of the greece situation, Ignore the noise a deal is already priced into the market,(Just look at the bookmakers).

[hiriam007] 25/6/2015 20:07

Now the international thieves who have bought London property. They're worth going after. They're clever though. Think Dave and the boyz will go after them. In your dreams lol :))

[careful] 25/6/2015 19:42

Greek problem is unsolvable.
Without debt forgiveness they stand no chance.
If they get their debts reduced the other countries such as Italy and Spain will want the same deal.
The money has gone, stolen by corrupt fat cats who buy London property with it and pay no tax.

The Greek poor will pay either way.

[shahi1] 25/6/2015 19:18

I am tired of Greece dragging us down all the time. They only have a Euro 1.6 billion payment to make on 30 June but the markets lose 100s of billions due to the so called Greece fears. Shell alone must have lost billions from its share cap!

[imperial3] 25/6/2015 15:00

Greek fears spooking the market.

[chiragmahe] 25/6/2015 14:28

all early gains almost gone

[skinny] 25/6/2015 10:29

Added this morning.

[m_k_hubbert] 24/6/2015 17:33

Have slightly more than doubled holding in past 2 weeks @ average of 1912p. Previous tranch was at average of 2080p thus have some way to go before these are 'above water' but dividends are very welcome meantime.

[waldron] 24/6/2015 17:16

SOUNDS LIKE

BACK TO THE FUTURE

[sogoesit] 24/6/2015 17:11

Accumulated at 1900p on top of initial purchase at 2065p
Awaiting return to the 21st century; but will continue accumulating in the 20th century.

[wynmck] 24/6/2015 10:04

Deutsche Bank upgrade to Buy from Hold

[supermarky] 24/6/2015 08:57

Hahaha hopefully

[wad collector] 24/6/2015 08:45

Finally share price climbed out of the Victorian era - well into Georgian territory now. Elizabethan prices by the end of the week?

[kiwi2007] 24/6/2015 08:28

Yes Boris. And you can get all the dates by looking under dividends on the financial page.

[borisjohnsonshair] 24/6/2015 07:22

When is ex-div? Is that the day if you hold you secure the payment, but at a future date?

[m_k_hubbert] 23/6/2015 16:11

Based on last quarter payout, yield at current share price is 6.49%. Given that Co. proposes to maintain the dividend for the next year it's the USD/GBP exchange rate which will affect the next few dividends. I agree with some other views expressed here that divi rate is very attractive; as a result I've just added and may well add more later in the week.
