1600 to 1700 imho

Telegraph:

Royal Dutch Shell 'B’

£18.19 +12.5p

Questor says BUY

[essentialinvestor] 01/7/2015 19:20

Would have thought tomorrow Mark, will be adding back what I sold today,
can't call the low, those who have referenced £17.50 may be near the mark.

[supermarky] 01/7/2015 18:33

Yes I expected 1800 (and below) to be tested today.

[essentialinvestor] 01/7/2015 17:55

Sogoesit, if you want an explanation for today's relatively weak SP
it's crude, which is currently taking.

[sogoesit] 01/7/2015 17:18

Must be that the market doubts the sustainability of the dividend (due oil price weakness?) otherwise what else can this be?

[essentialinvestor] 01/7/2015 15:32

If the UKX was weak today this would have tested £18 imv
and traded below that level.

Speed.

From memory Brci has approx 50% in oil, gas, oil exploration. It has a fair percentage in miners, among them BLT, Rio Tinto and Glen.

Edit. Just visited the Brci board and see you probably knew all that anyway :)

[essentialinvestor] 01/7/2015 14:11

speed, some of the guys on the BRWM board may be able to answer that,
if you have no luck here.

From memory there is a use of options on BRCI to augment income?,
not sure how that affects the risk profile.

[speedsgh] 01/7/2015 14:02

EI et al - Hope you don't mind me asking. Which iyo is better/safer option? RDSB with forecast 6.4% yield or BRCI with forecast 7.3% yield. BRCI higher yield + spreading risk? Any feedback welcome.

[essentialinvestor] 01/7/2015 13:47

WW11 from memory, I'm not quite that old )

No guarantees in the stock market, if it was cut I think 15%, maybe,
speculative guess on my part.

Looking to add some lower down.

[imperial3] 01/7/2015 12:54

I agree,as long as oil and gas prices,do not slump from current rates.

[moneysage] 01/7/2015 12:43

True, but I do not recall Shell ever cutting it.

[imperial3] 01/7/2015 12:36

[imperial3] 01/7/2015 12:11

The CEO cannot escape responsibility for share price performance.

[essentialinvestor] 01/7/2015 11:58

Sold a few on the pop, will add again lower down if given the opportunity.

[stevenrevell] 01/7/2015 09:51

[2bluelynn] 30/6/2015 21:56

The chart looks terrible ! I really want in on this but don't want to catch a falling knife . Surely the dividend keeps a good base on this ? Any chartist views would be welcome Thanks in advance

[essentialinvestor] 30/6/2015 20:39

Perhaps never imperial, who knows )

Will have a few more tomorrow depending on price.

[imperial3] 30/6/2015 20:31

The BG acquisition has proved to be a poison pill for the share price.Who knows when recovery will be? Perhaps years?
