The CEO states Tullow sp is much too low and I bought in on the comments---todays results are excellent and I feel this one is being overlooked on here. check it out bargain hunters-I'd welcome some expert feedback!

news reports suggest MP's in Uganda have accused TLW of allegedly bribing goverment ministers, oil deals suspended.

that must be the two guys who were too late to be included in the handout of party bags

cynic accusations of bribery should be taken seriously as they may have a major financial impact on TLW's deal to sell their investment in Uganda.

how naive can you be? .... the world is rife with such practices if you want to do business ..... in the philippines the police are routinely bought off for such petty things as speeding; for saudi, read the recent papers; africa runs on such

cynic you have conveniently forgotten that TLW are trying to sell their asset in Uganda for $2.9billion to CNOOC and Total.This deal should have been completed last month, accusations of bribery made in the Uganda parliament are unlikely to speed up the process.

ah well you've never liked this stock ... as for me, it seems to have done consistently well and am delighted that i bought some more yesterday ..... right 'andsome they've done today guv

TLW continues to perform strongly even against the trend ..... i know the news from uganda is (now) pretty positive, but it's certainly not impossible that it is being targetted .... in any case, and i know friend hali fundamentally diagrees, i think this is one of the best second tier oilies and should do any holder proud either short, medium or long term

well you bunch of muppets, have any of you bought in yet?

A bit high to be buying in now, n'est-ce pas?

you may want to wait until there is momentum into new high ground, and there is certainly a good argument for following same

Interim divi 03/11, Interim statement 09/11. So personally would not trade it till after divi date, not a holder. Bit of a gamble hoping for a breakout perhaps over six days?

Chris that's only the payment of the divi - a stonking 4p (yield 0.42%).

Exactly skinny marvelous if you hold, if like me missed the boat and not a holder would you trade it now with a spread bet or cfd or wait till after divi payout when sp obviously will be lower? Then if you believe interim result will be good enough, punt that profits wont be taken and it breaks out above 52 week high or alternatively short it?

I must be honest - a dividend of 4p on a share price of 14.40 wouldn't really sway me one way or the other - especially taking into account its daily volatility (40p today). surely of more importance is the interims ?

I agree skinny and that really is my point re interim statement, sp as you point out is volatile at the best of times, 40 pips today on not great volume. So
to trade it daily is a bit too volatile for me. I'm talking about considering a punt nearer (after divi payout) the interim date based on volume then if that makes sense.

Sorry Chris - I thought you were basing your trading decision on the dividend payment date NOT the interim statement date.

On edit - and yes it does make sense :-)

LOL skinny think both of us must be bored eh.

TLW yet to release RNS confirming rumours farm down has been approved by Uganda government, cynic will be pleased if true!

you teasing little tinker you!

DPL flying now
