Downgrades: RDS
Friday, October 2, 2:06 PM ET

This morning, Benchmark downgraded shares of Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A) from Hold to Sell as the firm believes Wall Street EPS estimates for 2010 are too high. The firm has set a price target of $42 per share, almost twenty five percent below Thursday’s closing price.

Investors were unmoved by the downgrade, as shares of Royal Dutch Shell remained close to even this morning.

Subject: Leaflet Distribution at Shell Centre

Dear Mr Wiseman

I promised to let you know when we intend to recommence the distribution of leaflets at Shell Centre.

This will happen at 11am on Monday.  A team of three people will hand out the leaflets. They have been instructed to do so in a friendly  manner and not to cause any obstruction. There will be no shouting or  disorder. No protest banners. Just leaflets. They will obey  instructions from your security staff on where they can stand to hand out the leaflets on public property to people entering Shell Centre. read more

Tom Botts: one of the men bringing Shell to its knees

TOM BOTTS SHELL

TOM BOTTS SHELL

POSTING ON SHELL BLOG BY: shellwaarbenjijnu

….. and so the good news (for other IOCs) continues. BP announces the 19th deep water hit in deep water Angola. Where is the Shell name associated with adding reserves from real exploration and appreciating material volumes from real petroleum engineering? It would make such a refreshing change from the association with scandal – real or imagined.

The core issue is touched on by ex-insider in his observations on Botts. He is typical of the men in charge now. It’s all talk (US inspired “MBA B/S” which is bringing Shell to its knees. He is the one who announced the 25 mln pound global centre to be built at Tullos, Aberdeen. He was the one who talked up the mythical “yet to be produced” 25 bln barrels  from the North Sea at Offshore Europe in 2007. read more

RIGGED SHELL CONTRACT TENDER

RIGGED SHELL CONTRACT TENDER

By John Donovan of royaldutchshellplc.com

Although this story relates to events that occurred years ago, it reveals the hypocrisy of two people at the top of Shell, Malcolm Brinded and Richard Wiseman.

Both have made speeches proclaiming the importance of Shell’s General Business Principles pledging honesty, integrity and transparency in all of Shell’s dealings.

Wiseman stated in an anti-corruption speech:

“A reputation for integrity is a priceless asset which can vanish or be severely tarnished by a single error of judgment. Shell Core Values: Honesty, Integrity and Respect for People underpin everything we do and are the foundation of our Shell General Business Principles.” read more

10 YEARS ON AND NOTHINGS CHANGED

10 YEARS ON AND NOTHINGS CHANGED

By John Donovan of royaldutchshellplc.com

A decade ago we had a team outside Shell HQ handing out leaflets every week on a regular basis.

At the time, thousands of loyal experienced Shell employees were being ruthlessly culled. Shell later paid a high price for hiring contractors to replace lost skills. Is the same short-termism being repeated now?

“Transformation” under Moody-Stuart, “Transition 2009” under Peter Voser; different buzzwords, same outcome. Staff working at the coalface treated like disposable non-entities, while greedy and ruthless executive directors pump up their obscene, bonus and stock option packed, fat cat “compensation”. read more
