Last year wasn’t great for oil majors — they underperformed the whole market — but the Square Mile today claimed the new year will be a “new dawn” for Royal Dutch Shell.
City slickers at Exane BNP Paribas said it is time to snap up Shell because its new boss, Ben van Beurden, who started this month, will put its house in order.
Exane predicted Shell will sell off more assets this year and have a “more shareholder-friendly approach” with more dividend payouts and be better “disciplined” with its cash.
Punters took note and Shell spurted up 35.5p to 2300.5p. But Exane fell out of love with Shell’s rival BP and downgraded it to neutral. Exane said despite management addressing various issues after its Mexican oil spill, progress “is more gradual than we had anticipated”. Investors responded and BP slipped 2.3p to 493p.
Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
