They have a very long way to go, the integration between the two companies is going very slowly. Front office and back office systems and process harmonisation will take years.
Its worse here, our economy is like a flailing fish, fighting for its life. The normal state of the U.S. economy is actually very bad. Because of this it goes into convulsive spasms fighting to grow any way it can out of desperation. Tricks, gimmicks, rule changes try to stimulate the economy and prevent it from falling but they only bring temporary relief to people since, when you factor in inflation we are declining.
People believe their currency has the worth it does because they have no other option. Even in a hyperinflationary environment, individuals must continue to use their hyperinflationary currency since they likely have minimal access to other currencies or gold/silver coins.
Inflation is gradually going to become part of us and due to that fact any money you keep in cash or in a low-interest account declines in value each year. Investing is the only way to make your money grow and unless you have an exceptionally high income, investing is the only way most people will ever have enough money to retire.
I've tried investing in the stock market several times but always got discouraged by fluctuations of stock value. I would be happy if you could advise me based on how you went about yours, as I am ready to go the passive income path.!!
My CFA NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further... She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
if the idea is to build an income stream to use as complement for retirement, or at any given point if needed, then building a dividend growth portfolio always buying adding to it could be a good and peaceful path. On the long run consistency and perseverance could guaranty the desired income stream goal with little worries
the idea is to Look for stocks that have paid steady, increasing dividends for years (or decades), and have not cut their dividends even during recessions.

I don't want to say anything From start to end Why is this person nervous and withdrawn? And do you think he has a drug hangover? Or is he scared that Terry will come looking for him at night?
I don't agree with the explanation that it's justified to invest in fossil fuels to provide balance in the portfolio. It's like the weak explanation that Job Curtis gives for investing in tobacco. It's not ok to damage society to progress selfish objectives.
Bill I'd have to respectfully disagree. Putin started this war for the same reason he started the Chechen, Georgian war, the East Med conflicts aka Israel Gaza, Lebanon, and now the Esiquibo ( 16th largest proven gas and oil reserve iin the world) province of Guyana. He has always used gas and oil as a weapon and his idea of hegemony is based in energy.
This is why I stick with index funds but fair play to Nick Train for talking about this. You don't normally see fund managers doing interviews when things are going badly.
Every academic study on the topic indicates investors should be indifferent toward a dollar received in a dividend distribution, a dollar used to buy back shares, or a dollar held in the company coffers to be used for a variety of things. Dividends do not matter. Educate yourselves Morningstar.
The interviewer needs to study some facts about energy: while energy is needed - and the whole world needs it, a massive amount of it, every day - you cannot just stop buying oil. The world is not ready to move to clean energy yet - THERE IS NOT ENOUGH OF IT - and without the oil and gas companies, and their own transitions, over time, THE WORLD WILL COME TO AN ABSOLUTE HALT. Demonising oil companies helps no one.
