Are you buying stock or S/B, CFD?

Looking at the 7 year chart, if it goes sub 1800p, then 1700p looks very likely, imo.

A bit of both - using the SB to hedge FTSE shorts (badly) - 6 FTSE shorts in total yesterday!

High volume today and last day of the month. Not sure what it means but hoping its indicative of the stock about to turn up. Fingers crossed.

Questor/Telegraph: Buy

Sub 1800p now and not looking likely to turn yet, imo.

Well another horrible candle on oil as I write. Thought this had turned but it seems not.

2nd Quarter and Half Year 2015 unaudited results

* Royal Dutch Shell's second quarter 2015 earnings, on a current cost of
supplies (CCS) basis (see Note 2), were $3.4 billion compared with $5.1
billion for the same quarter a year ago.

* Second quarter 2015 CCS earnings excluding identified items (see page 4)
were $3.8 billion compared with $6.1 billion for the second quarter 2014, a
decrease of 37%.

* Compared with the second quarter 2014, CCS earnings excluding identified
items benefited from strong Downstream results reflecting steps taken by
the company to improve financial performance and higher realised refining
margins. In Upstream, earnings were impacted by the significant decline in
oil and gas prices and decreased production volumes, partly offset by lower
costs and depreciation.

* Basic CCS earnings per share excluding identified items decreased by 37%
versus the same quarter last year.

* Cash flow from operating activities for the second quarter 2015 was $6.1
billion, compared with $8.6 billion for the same quarter last year.

quarter were $3.0 billion, of which $0.7 billion were settled under the

Chart of the week: Start of a rally for Shell

Sold the ones today which I bought just below £16. Sincerely hope it continues up as I have lots from higher up

Hmm - I do not know what to do. I have plenty of these with most from the £18-£20 although a few from a bit lower and I have had a nice dividend stream

I guess I'll hold a little longer as I'm stubborn. I really have no idea where oil is going over the next 2 months or so.

All my RDSB gone now for a 5-10% gain plus the dividend over the last year as I think in due course markets will realize things aren't as bad as they look and cable will slowly recover.

Put most of it on SHAW and ALD with a small helping of BLND.

RDSB - along with BATS and IMB - has proved to be a very good defensive stock since the referendum
i am more than happy to keeping holding (all 3) in my sipp
