I am just trying to picture a Mrs Zyzz, if there is one,
and whether she has smiled once in the last 20 years,
Zyzz must be a joy to live with )

Disco DaveThe figures were produced by Markit Research.That's a lot of shares to be bought back one day.

Zzz,
The chart WAS going downwards, it has since bottomed and formed an inverted 'head and shoulders'; next resistance 1600p...

[gymratt] 26/1/2016 09:18

Either way the share price will be 1800p+ this year,IMO. Within 3years a 100% return (inc. divis)..

Why not 9 or 7 or 6... Finger in the wind

good report in todays Daily Telegraph business.
Saudi and Russia making the right noises about a deal.
Saudi say that if production is not collectively cut from todays level (96m barrels/day), then the reduced investment will lead to a huge oil price spike in the future.
Future demand is set to rise to 112m barrels / day by 2040.

The message is very clear.
Sell your house, move into a tent, and invest the cash in RDSB shares if you wish to make your family rich.

The deal looks likely to go through. We should know the result pretty soon.

i suspect the shell price is being pumped up ahead of the deal...

[montyhedge] 26/1/2016 07:36

If you want 20% short term rise vote NO, if you want growing dividends vote YES.

Re oil, the number of US rigs in production continues to fall - now less than a third compared to just over a year ago:

Voted YES to the deal as an RDSB long-term income investor (rather than a day-trader) who believes that assembling a huge market position in LNG over the years ahead will be the key to Shell building positive cash flow ever higher. LNG-based energy policies in the UK are representative of wider moves to bridge the gap between decommissioning dirty coal-fired electrical generation and immature green / unwelcome nuclear alternatives.

Shorters gamble the exdiv drop compensates for paying the div.

EI, maybe better to wait it out without clear signals. Although I read there's more bullish bets on oil now than there's been in 6 months.

[essentialinvestor] 25/1/2016 19:42

Whiskey, calling a definitive low price in these markets is impossible,
it is one day against trend, see what tomorrow brings.
Never sure just what you will be waking up to atm )

At least we have made progress from near 12.60.
