Very good start - long May it continue

It takes a couple days for the auto reinvestments to process through my trading platform. Yes it was paid on Monday, however the order was executed at 0903 this morning at 2625p. No complaints.

But had a good run so a dip was inevitable.

[chiefbrody] 27/3/2024 12:35

Also have thought investment yesterday (as was paid Monday)

[craftyale] 27/3/2024 09:12

Div should get reinvested today, not unhappy about the dip. ;)

Labour's expensive fantasy land for 2030MARCH 26, 2024 8 COMMENTSLabour's plans to phase out all gas and coal power stations by 2030 requires the UK to accelerate its build of wind farms, solar panels, nuclear power, and battery storage. It would also require a big expansion of the grid. They propose a nationalised industry to do much of this work as it would require huge subsidies and managed prices for the power. Claire Coutinho is right to highlight the huge cost of some £116 bn of trying to do this and to question the feasibility and wisdom.It is of course totally unrealistic. Nuclear power will be considerably lower  by 2030 following the closures of existing power stations. It is not possible to decide now to put in extra nuclear power stations and have them producing power by 2030. Putting more and more windfarms in as they plan does not solve the problem of keeping the lights on on a windless day. Saying they can put in sufficient storage is more easily stated than delivered. Relying on big batteries would require a colossal programme of building them. Finding enough pump storage locations would not be likely. There is also the small matter of the grid which would need major enhancement against a background of long and complex planning procedures and many local communities wishing to protect their landscape or divert power lines from settlements and important buildings.We need more affordable and reliable power. Balancing price and security of supply against environmental objectives is a crucial part of success in energy policy. Labour just goes for the environmental without a thought about keeping the lights on, helping business  be competitive and controlling people's power bills. Combined cycle gas power still represents some of the cheapest and most reliable power, which is why our system needs what it has and needs some more for the transitional period,whilst nuclear, synthetic fuel, hydrogen and renewables become more affordable and practical propositions for more of our demand.....John Redwood

Bit of number crunching reveals 23 business days left of this buyback & average per day to be bought is up from circa 1.8m per day to 2.2m per day to fulfil requisite amount. With the algos used to support correct corporate action preventing a rise on rise until price has paused/fallen if Brent keeps rising (up a buck to 86) the av may rise further. Almost unique in the UK market a GBP 55m head start every morning (if required as just recently has jumped daily without, hence 'backlog')

xxxxxy: There is nothing wrong with the use of oil in any of the applications you have described....indeed the future of renewables requires oil (think plastics for solar panels and grease for wind turbine gear boxes.) What we do need to do is STOP BURNING IT as that's the bit that causes global warming

Further to that, an attempt on the all time high later this year of the oil price doesn't slump.

So, I decided to sell half my shares, having doubled on SHEL. I'm free-riding these now. Probably get a free cashflow yield of around 10%, which is not to be sneezed at. But I wanted some ammo for ISA season, and I have my eye on some nice-looking small/mid cap GARP shares.

Decent run Buybacks have been running 1m or 1.5m under par for 7 trading days now. And still we are up every day inc + 20p ish in NY right now after London close.Turns out someone has bought in for 15m shares or GBP375m. NiceSo we now have an extra 10m? Shares sidelined for buyback to catch up by end April in addition to 1.8m av shares per day of standard buyback plan. If Brent remains above 80 this weight behind the days trading we could see a pleasant 5 weeks of strength
