NPE - Mid 7.875p

Reason - It has secured today the rig slots thatwill allow the group to proceed with the drilling of the North Sea Kraken and Mermaid prospects in mid-2007. Has formed a plateau at the bottom and now the charts look better as Indicators are oversold.

Old Wisdom
After working his farm every day, an old farmer rarely had time
to enjoy the large pond in the back that he had fixed up
years earlier with picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and benches.

So one evening he decided to go down and see how things were holding up.
Much to his surprise, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee.
As he came closer he saw it was a group of young women skinny dipping in his pond.

He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end.
One of the women shouted to him, "We're not coming out until you leave."

The old farmer replied, "I didn't come down here to watch
you ladies swim or make you get out of the pond naked.
I only came down to feed the alligator."

Moral:
Old age and treachery will always triumph over youth and skill.
