BP Plc posted its second-highest quarterly profit on record and announced a further $2.5 billion of share buybacks, capping a stellar period for Big Oil after Russias invasion of Ukraine pushed up energy prices. (Source: Bloomberg) When Bernard Looney took over as chief executive officer of BP Plc in 2020, he promised to quickly decarbonize the British oil major, cutting oil and gas production by 40 percent by 2030 and channeling billions of dollars into wind and solar projects. It was a stronger version of the “Beyond Petroleum” slogan BP once used. On Tuesday, Looney altered course. The company put out some fine words about its commitment to green energy and several billion dollars in investment to back it. But in tandem, it promised shareholders it would invest heavily into oil and gas projects. Instead of a 40 percent output cut, oil and gas production would fall by 25 percent by the end of the decade. Don’t say it out loud — because Looney took pains to emphasise that … [Read more...] about Don’t say it out loud, but BP is back into petroleum

How to make volatility your friend
There are many reasons for volatility of prices to deviate from business earnings. Maybe it is belief of a different macro environment. (Representative image) The term “volatility” finds unique use in Indian stock market lingo. I am not aware of any other market where “volatility” is so frequently referred to by market participants. In India, it stands for corrections/crashes many a time. Indian TV channels when describing markets on a day as having gone up or down (even a 50 point move in the Nifty) term them as “volatile” markets. However, volatility in its universal sense refers to a move away from trend –... … [Read more...] about How to make volatility your friend

Australia Face Test Cricket’s Toughest Challenge Amid Indian Gamesmanship
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The images of the eyebrow raising pitch preparation for the series-opener between India and Australia were probably enough to spook the visitors. In what could be termed as gamesmanship from the hosts, or “pitch doctoring” to others, ground staff at Nagpur's VCA Stadium were tailoring the surface in an apparent bid to help India gain an advantage ahead of the first Test starting on Thursday. Already facing the toughest challenge in cricket, with India having not lost a home Test series in a decade, Australia's task appears even more daunting on a surface expected to spin heavily. But this Australian team, increasingly moulded in composed skipper Pat Cummins' image, might not be rattled so easily unlike previous agitated sides. "There potentially may be a fair bit of rough out there. That's just something we've got to embrace," Cummins told reporters on Wednesday. "It's going to be fun, it's going to be … [Read more...] about Australia Face Test Cricket’s Toughest Challenge Amid Indian Gamesmanship
Milwaukee Bucks Final Trade Deadline Big Board
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The 2023 NBA Trade deadline is nearly upon us, and the Milwaukee Bucks will have some big decisions to make. They’ve won eight straight games heading into the deadline and are clicking on all cylinders with Khris Middleton back in the lineup. However, they are not yet at full strength as Bobby Portis has missed the last seven games with an MCL sprain in his right knee. They’ve gone the entire season without having their entire team, making it difficult for general manager Jon Horst to evaluate his club. Even without all of their guys, it’s clear the Bucks are peers with the Boston Celtics (and maybe the Philadelphia 76ers?) as the class of the Eastern Conference. Still, there’s always room to upgrade. Here are the top 16 trade candidates the Bucks could potentially be interested in.

Will TikTok Be Banned From The U.S.? Here’s Where It Stands.
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Pressure is mounting from Republicans and some Democrats in Congress to pass a national ban on TikTok, the social video app owned by Chinese company ByteDance which has already been banned on federal devices and some college campuses over privacy concerns. Key Facts TikTok has faced calls for bans from critics who fear China may use the platform to access the data of American users. Criticisms of the social platform intensified in the fall after reports revealed ByteDance repeatedly accessed U.S. user data and planned to use TikTok to track the location of specific American citizens ( including Forbes journalists ). ByteDance previously denied it had used TikTok to “target” journalists or public figures, but after an internal investigation revealed employees tracked journalists covering the company, it fired its chief internal auditor who led the team orchestrating the surveillance. … [Read more...] about Will TikTok Be Banned From The U.S.?
