Hello Share Takers. To keep things interesting, this decrepit old punter has set himself a target of making another 30K from his portfolio before Autumn sets in. This will need some extra buying and selling to make the most of opportunities that should (in my estimation) arise. Here’s the plan.
Hello Gang. You don’t need be told the world is becoming less secure. The latest negative factor is our ‘military action’ towards the Yemen. One always feels uncomfortable, discussing the effects on shares caused by the terrible misfortunes of other people. But life goes on. Here’s how the word’s latest insecurity may be handled by the wise investor.
Hello Share Rattlers. This being the season of goodwill still, I feel rather sorry for the bears. There was another Santa Rally this time. Tell me when there wasn’t. For a change, it will continue well into the New Year. How do I know?
Hello Share Fanciers. It’s always been a contention of this fossilised punter that a shareholder has more power to change things than a voter, even in a democratic country like ours. And as such we should use that power responsibly. Which brings me to the difficult question of ethical investing.
Hello Share Rattlers. I’m a happy bunny. Because oil prices have risen for three weeks on the trot. This has pushed Shell (SHEL) shares to within a whisker of their all time high. So far this year, the stock has risen 9.55%. About 9.4% of that improvement registered in the last month. That’s jolly good going for a jumbo Footsie share.
Hello Share Wallowers. Another development enhances my list of reasons why the Footsie may soar between now and Yuletide. The oil price is rising again. That will, of course, boost shares like BP (BP.) and Shell (SHEL) as well as some of the minor producers. As the former giants are big components of the big share index we can expect an expanding oil price to whack up most share in the big companies, as a healthier Footsie usually puts general sentiment on an optimistic footing.
Hello Share Catchers. This old punter read an fascinating article the other day. It was by Mr Bean...
Hello Share People. That big dilemma is still with us. If you’d aped me and swapped your shares for cash in the Spring, you made the right call. But you need to be in it to win it. And there’s no point in staying in cash if the big share rally is starting. And we all know it will, eventually. But what should we do right now.
Hello Share Carriers. Oil jumbo Shell (SHEL) remains one of the few shares still left in my bag after a dash to cash a month or so ago. That’s because the bubbly oil price can only translate into bigger profits for the black stuff boys. Net profit for the third quarter was 26% higher than last time at $11.5 billion, thanks to those chirpy oil prices and post Covid demand.
Hello Shares Fans. Let’s take the opportunity, with markets closed, to review the situation surrounding the oil price and our opportunities to make money with the big, and not so big, oilers. In the last few days of trading, shares in Shell (SHEL), BP (BP.) and the like dropped. But the reason is lightweight and temporary.
Hello Share Munchers. If you’d followed my suggestion to buy Shell (SHEL) shares, over the last six months you would be up by more than 40%. But of course I cannot claim too much credit for this boost as the likelihood that the share price would soar was pretty obvious on record oil prices. But is Shell still worth buying now?
