Shell is in many ways better than BP, so I would know what to do 😎. On the other hand, if you believe the rumours, your BP shares will turn into Shell after they buy out BP anyways. I don't believe the rumours, but if so, you can save yourself the costs of selling out of BP and buying Shell

@JorisInvests I think BP is too large to just swallow whole at the moment and a minority stake is much more likely, if anything of that sort to begin with. If I were in Shell's shoes, I'd want to leverage the Sterling against the historically-weak Dollar and try to get as big a stake in USD-denominated projects (i.e. Exxon, Chevron, Marathon,...) as possible before Trump takes his coat and leaves (which might not happen... We'll see.) For now it seems as though that's the case, at least with BP.
