What shocked me is that traders knew there would be some raiding of our cupboards and yet they were seemingly just side swiped by the news being reported by VET. Of course theyd have to stop buybacks and I'm surprised they didnt drop the dividend as they have to pay a bill soon , apparently.
If we are going to play the hypothetical dream game. I'd say all oil and gas should go on a strike to scare the hell out of these communists for a while . They would drop the ridiculous idea of windfall taxes in 2 days max and never speak of it again. Of course the main issue is OPEC wouldn't tax themselves and would not participate in said strike. They would laugh at the stupid minion governments, implementing these taxes and rightfully so.

Ahh....the old 'why don't you sell and leave' post. This is a stockhouse classic whenever anyone questions their stock.
The reason I don't leave is the hope I can recover some of my 30% loss on this vile turd. I was lead to believe they would be returning money to shareholders. What I actually got is 16 cents in dividends with zero chance of getting anything more.
Your idea is wishful thinking.. This is where you under estimate the power of politicians. You think going on 'strike' gives VET or the industry any power? Don't think for a minute they'll let people freeze, starve or life come to a standstill. They will just nationalize the industry and confiscate all properties. You can't win.
