hijeff - a lot of FTSE100 stocks going xd today will limit the initial rise if any. It's due to knock 16pts off the index at the open, which will likely make up for any US follow-through.

Well, that's a fair bet as there was a broker price last week of 110p.

Obviously if the Nexen thing firms up a bit, that may change.

mornin all the FTSE got lead on it tootse

Morning all.

Afternoon all,

too many reds in the heat map for my liking!

Hi all,
those coms get everywhere.

I have a wee problem. Here I sit in downtown Bangkok, paying rent to the cockroaches, scraping enough together to get on the internet (do we start "internet" with a capital??....is it as big as God?), I go to good old ADVFN, (just a term you understand) and all I can get is US style ADVFN. I re-enter www.ADVFN.co.uk ermmm...up comes Clem grovelling to Americana. Am I stuck with this or is there a fix (sic)
regards.....and have a nice day

teletigger - your fix is to stay here!

... or come back to UK.
