Okay, I know this will be controversial, but I really have just sold my shares in Shell. Some might argue that Shell’s new chief executive is ‘kitchen-sinking’ all the bad news in this quarter, but I very much doubt that this is the case.

A company’s recent share price is based on its past profitability.
