From an article by Kyle Caldwell published by The Telegraph on 23 Jan 2015 under the headline:
“Oil shares yield 6pc, but are the dividends safe?”
Since June the price of Brent Crude has fallen from $116 a barrel to just below $50 last week. The plunge means these companies will generate far lower revenues and, with their costs still high, will see their profits fall.
Some investors have already lost faith as shares have fallen sharply. But those buying in today could be tempted by the yield on all of these shares rising because the price has fallen. At around the 6pc yield mark, Royal Dutch Shell and BP at a glance look attractive.
Some of Britain’s fund managers, however, have ruled out buying. Steve Davies, who manages the Jupiter UK Growth fund, said: “Unless you think the oil price will recover from here these shares are not a buy. I think the heavyweights – BP and Royal Dutch Shell – can weather the storm and pay dividends, through debt if needs be, but they will not be able to continue doing this next year or in two years’ time unless the oil price recovers.”

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.
