Spaceman - as far as I'm aware Russia has potentially the biggest oil reserves in the world. Problem is they simply cannot get their act together.

Oil traders have been blaming the Yukos thing for the current high prices.

Tra-la-la!

spaceman - according to nloomy yukos is the largest oil producer after saudi

Al, exactly, as far as i know its real stocks are unknown at the moment, production is not that good. Saudi still the one to watch ;-)

Also added some AQP.

sorry nloomy is bloomy (bloomberg)

Wonder if BFP will reach 80p today. Still short. ;-)

FTC results Monday. Very short!

Covered BFP +6. 'Tis enough for me! ;-))))

Hope no-one's long PTL.

Missed the break of a quid for a short. ;-(

closed ANL -5

whats causing this then? Englands failure to take a wicket?

Lobbed WBY -16ish

Nice header Chocolat,thanks for the effort.
Well,no trading for a few days,last trade was SHORT ANL last Tuesday which was happily stopped out for what I thought at the time was a nasty loss of -12.Very nervous about holding shorts overnight now.Even more nervous about longing anything at all.Might just take a summer break.
Good luck all.Hope a few of you got a few quid out of ANL.

Bad luck on ANL fulhamken - I can't really agree with this level of weakness. 10% below the bid price (may well be less if BSCH fall but I'd still see a premium), no counter-bid premium at all which seems very premature at this stage. The way the market is at the moment it seems like a safer option than most...

WICKET - LARA OUT

ken , missed it :-(( have to wait for replay

edit : beautiful spin

kY -can't understand ANL either - where is the floor here 545 ? what will the 12.30 meeting do for it ? cash/share worth 600 depending on santanders share price really - but will someone else bid ?? any views ?

Blair bowling? ;-))))
