Heard a Voice at the end of the pier say 2000, but I don't know.

It's a gusher!!

A bit of life with that move in oil!

Fact number 2!If the oil price goes up this will go up :)

Fact number 1.

If the oil price goes down, this will go down.

If the oil price goes back to $100, they will capture both markets.

Well, as stated a dew times here, I am long and I hope you're right - but the scattered bones say otherwise...

Sentiment changes like the wind.The winds of change are coming!Sorry to sound so prophetic.

[eisler] 20/7/2015 16:08

It's got nothing at all to do with the divi or anything else the company does - it's just sentiment. Even at 8-10%, in this climate the market would be sniffy, I think...

Eisler, if you want a bearish sector take XOM looks to be very close
to taking out it's 12 month low.

COP, more exposed to the oil price, has today made a new year low.

I could not be as certain as you sound about future price direction.

If the dividend of approx 6.5% is perceived as safe, I wonder how much of a drift there can be?

[eisler] 20/7/2015 14:35

Even if the results are well ahead of expectations, sentiment is very anti oil at the moment, and we won't see any recovery in the sp, unfortunately - expect a further downward drift into next year

SocGen sees Shell posting $3.38bn in adjusted second-quarter earnings

Appears to be going sideways until results next week, then 1900+

Comment from MGW,

"Shell

With the majors 2Q figures starting next week I will be taking a look at most of the results and seeing where they stand at the half year. One of those will be Shell who get a write up in today’s FT following a lunch with some 40 investors and analysts last week hosted by CFO Simon Henry where he said that ‘value synergies’ would be ‘a multiple’ of the $1bn pa savings already announced in the BG acquisition. I was not invited to the presentation, nor would expect to be but I do share the view that the synergies will be substantial and that the acquisition will be a success. Shell has under-performed recently even to the extent of people questioning the dividend which is ludicrous and at 1850p and yielding over 6.5% I would be tucking in big time."

Shell chief Ben van Beurden is expected to use next week's interim results to outline a substantial cut to capital investment

Royal Dutch Shell expects billions of dollars more in savings from its proposed £55bn takeover of BG Group than previously disclosed as it uses the enlarged company’s scale to slash costs in its deepwater oil business and natural gas trading arm.

Stung by a slide in Shell’s share price, which has tumbled 13 per cent since the BG deal was announced in early April, chief financial officer Simon Henry has sought to turn round investor scepticism over the economics of the deal.

Since the BG deal was announced why the huge daily increase in volume of FORM 8.5 and FORM 8.3 regulatory announcements?
