Already plonked the cash into BP(*), shares which will probably remain in the portfolio forever. GLEN now at 112, not attractive for a share with no divi and mountainous debt. VW? don't like the downside - some Greenpeace guy on the radio was talking about a corporate manslaughter charge this morning. That won't fly but the inevitable US Class Actions are impossible to put a value on, but the total bill has got to be in the billions.

(*) Yes, I am a hypocrite.

Yeah BP is a good stock with a high upside you'll easily recoup the loss on that one, especially at last week's price. I took a hefty stake in Shell. If the deal with BG gets through, that's going to be fantastic as a cash generator.

Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.

BG are a shambles.
Take it from someone who knows.

That's good to know, and in spite of the bad management the share price has gone up since 2009.

Just think what the share price will do when Shell is in charge and they throw out the bad managers,

Great. They can start mid-Wednesday which is about when I reckon it's going to peak and I'm going to bin everything.

The only thing that's worse than a dirty spekulant is a successful profit fixing dirty spekulant

Seriously, though, that's the hardest part for the average punter (me included): basing a decision on when to buy and sell on the fundamental picture, and not on the loss you've made or profit gained up to that point. It's difficult for the average punter to grit their teeth and sell when needed or hang on when they're in profit.

I see I bailed a little early. I could be another 700 quid up right now.
