bookies don't pay a divi.

buy the maximum fear, to maximise the return.

this is why I've been in 90% cash for past few years.

Xmas is here.

[wipo1] 24/8/2015 16:14

I am still staying in cash. Markets too much like a casino. You would probably have better returns down the bookies

[spob] 24/8/2015 16:07

The yield will almost certainly be cut here imho ( and BP too )



Liabilities are way too high


Also Shell is paying a high price for BG

and BG has mega liabilities too

capital needs to seek return in the long run, 7%+ yield not bad!!

[smith99] 24/8/2015 14:45

only tomorrows prices will confirm if you picked up a bargain today/ All bets are off in the long term for all shares. We're heading into unusual times, traditionally interest rates are lowered to stimulate the economy in a crash but that options not available. Its going to prove an interesting run till Christmas. Anyone agree with sub 4000 on the FTSE ?

[moneysage] 24/8/2015 14:20

Its like New Years sales!!

Buying some more Shell at BARGAIN prices below 1600

[cc2014] 24/8/2015 13:40

Well I've just bought at sub 1600. Unbelievable. Nearly 7.5% dividend yield

[11_percent] 24/8/2015 13:19

Getting a real kicking now.

One analyst saying oil per barrel will start with a 2, wow $28 a barrel.

[4spiel] 24/8/2015 12:16

The problem I have with those who say Shell have never cut the dividend is they forget that they have been increasing it in times of very high prices that we may never see or not see again for a very long time ie prices in excess of 100 dollars. It only stands to reason that taking some of this back has to happen at some time but a lower share price may make it relatively painless for those who have covered themselves if they bought high up to 2600 or buy in at current prices nearing to 1600 and maybe less. Refining margins - obviously some scope with cheaper crude and refining is an important part of what oil majors do but there are pure refiners too. Not easy to get figures on the percentage contribution to the profits of oil majors of refining and retailing?. The price at the pumps is substantially tax !

How low can this go what does this value the BG deal I'm not in yet just waiting any advice ta

[imperial3] 24/8/2015 11:07

Hooley.
Fair comment.In theory if oil fell to $10,would Shell be still making a profit?

[84stewart] 24/8/2015 11:07

the algerians and other want it brought foreword

[hooley] 24/8/2015 10:54

In the last 30 years oil prices fell to under $10 a barrel and still Shell held its divi. They haven't cut since WW2. They will almost certainly maintain the payout this time round. Just focus on the record and the cash flow generated.

[diku] 24/8/2015 10:38

Under extreme conditions to support the oil price meeting can be brought forward...

[imperial3] 24/8/2015 10:25

With this current yield,hopefully the dividend can be maintained.Of the high yielders in the Footsie 100,I just wonder how many of their dividends would be under threat of being cut.On the other hand are there companies which would hold their dividend come hell or high water?!
