The oil rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico has damaged BP's reputation will they manage to avoid a share collapse to 350p.?



472p to buy this morning.

to plagiarise marty feldman playing mr christian - oy, tabby, have you got the wrong fella!
i no longer hold any position .... closed the balance this morning with a minimal profit/loss overall

BP are holding up well considering the fall of the FTSE below 5000 and the Dow ready to crash down below 10,000 on opening. A good day for shorts.

I'm long again.

Cynic.you lost me on that last postplease explain to a thicko?
ClubbyBP have not got a chance in hell of covering all claims against them Tony Hayward has gone on record as saying BP doesn't have enough money in the world to clean up the Gulf of Mexico
I have my hand on a Bible nowI swear that I have no financial interest in BPmy only short sell trades are Horses and the ftse.ever!
Cynic I am extremely glad you traded this Company without loss

Marty Feldman Cynic now you are showing your age. I used to watch him when I was a kid.

He was the most Jewish looking person I have ever seen. they should use his face on Isreal notes.

Gausiegood luck with that one

i'm not sure how the israeli pound fares on the currency markets, but if it is one of the joke currencies, then would be most apposite


tabby - you're obviously far too young .... MF was a comedian of 70/80s or thereabouts and there was a very funny sketch based on Mutiny on the Bounty .... enough explanation?

Marty or Cynic

He obviously holds a lot of BP shares?

hmmmm hard to tell..... .,.

Let's all hope direction of stocks change soon. The UK seems to be fucked up. When I sold my clubs to Luminar in the late 90s the Inland Revenue estimated I would have to pay 40% of the gain which was substantial. I offered to settle at 20% they refused.
So I moved to Gibraltar and payed no tax at all. Now our new government seem to be hell bent on reducing benefits for cripples, and poverty stricken disabled, does not seem right.

Guys like Sir Philip Green evade most of their tax liability by living abroad and working in the UK

re - Anybody going Long on this must be insane.

I dont usualy come out at a loss on my investments I would say.

Now anyone with a name of - Ali Ali Akbar - in my books deserve to be on the MAD HOUSE maybe running the asylum if you insist.

I only trade around my systems, ... in all seriousness, using ( Master RSI ) patterns.

Your own Biography say it all ........ madness at its best or worst for some ..........

MoneyAM Username: nordcaperen
Real name: Ali Ali Akbar
Biography:Financial Advisor to Gordon Brown and his previous Labour Government. Made my first Million at the age of 14, smuggling illegal immigrants out of Vietnam. Now trade mainly for fun at one of the many Brothel come Casino's I own around the World, also engage in the odd Arms Shipment to keep head above water.

I don't blame the likes of green, and no Cynic not picking on him as Jewish, It is our tax system.

If you are British, and have any ties to the UK you should pay UK tax, not live in Monaco, and commute to UK to work.

Philip Green: "I do don't do fair"

Wide boy. Billionaire. Alleged tax evader. Top Shop tycoon Philip Green on his new NYC store, Kate Moss and spanking naughty journalists.

clubby - gibraltar seems to have some very strange non-dom rules surrounding it .... as i understand it, you can buy a very small flat there - or is it just a nameplate even? - but actually spend no time in it

if that is correct, the for sure that is one loophole that will be slammed shut very quickly ...... i have no prob at all with non-dom tax avoidance, but (if correct) then that is effectively evasion, albeit currently legit

Listening to yout rantings over the past week or so I can only assume you are slowly losing the plot.

DealerI think slowly is being very diplomatic?

The golf sketch where the ball lands in sand on a moving train and he finished his round in darkness..classic.
