When it comes to the Falklands and the Argentinian problem, the only consideration that will decide what action is required will be what that action means to politicians careers.
If the Argies do spit their dummies out big time, there is no doubt that the UK would act forcefully, as not to do so would be the end of Cameron and his already weak coalition government.
Most politicians always put themselves, first second and last and have always done so.

shares generally misbehave with good reason and this one is certainly now on amber alert

I don't agree. I fully expected this to drift much further than it has while investors wait for news. There is no reason that I can see why it has maintained it's high valuation during drilling.

MM's probably keeping this higher due to the big potential if there is a successful stike on either drill, that's my take , i could be bloody wrong! We all just have to wait as you do with this stuff!

as far as i can determine, there should be news within the next couple of weeks - not long, so not good though nothing panicworthy

prudence and common sense ruled ...... sold all bar my initial modest holding ..... took a loss but who cares and that is the name of the game ..... market does not enthuse at all and shall also be away next week and out of direct contact

get on yr bike cynic......hope it's better weather where your going.,.

Last week you had sold all but kept a "small holding" and now you sold more and have "a modest holding".

I am lost, modest is bigger than small and you keep selling but keep also "have some left over"........... LOL


Why not just say how many shares you have left and let people know - stops the imaginary sells but "still got some" (in case of good news !!)...

I have 400K FOGL, not selling any of them until after the Loligo drilling results.... so how many shares do you have cynic ?

I am glad I am on holiday, the bulletin boards are going downhill at the moment, you can tell its summer holiday time.............

Have I missed the third world war or something ?.....

arsehole - i have 5,000 left which i deem more than sufficient and indeed, arguably i should have sold the lot ...... i could just as easily tell you 50,000 or 500,000, just as you like to say (pretend?) that you stupidly (imvho!) have 400,000

no RF ..... MrP is just a complete and utter areshole some of the time - others would say all of the time

Or maybe Miss P

RF, no.

I just watch people post and note their lies and distortions, and then upset them by "outing" their nonsense.

you really are the most unbelievable prick! ...... i have no need nor ever do lie about what i do or do not hold or trade, as several on here who know me personally actually know

i could go on about your own incessant spouting of nonsense and profuse ramping, a view with which arguably the majority of members on this BB would concur

Ah, the usual plunge into petty squabbling while the drill turns!

Rf, where have you been? Trust it wasn't the South Atlantic outherwise you would have shared your research with us???

I fear this bb is populated by nervous twitches. To be fair to PP he has provided research and while he does talk his own book, tell me someone who doesn't. I have quite a lot of shares by some standards and am sitting on them till my own itch gets unbearable. I am in profit at present.

Let's have a bit of Olympic spirit in here guys and try to be civil. My ex father in law said once to me if you can't say something nice about someone don't say it at all.

Hmmmmm.....is that why he is your ex father-in-law? ;o)

I have a modest FOGL quantity but am happy to hold until the news is released. I consider the risk bearable!

Lol Harry. To a point only. Plus he is dead.

I have currently 3 future long positions, 2 Sept and 1 Dec. Expect to hold these until current drilling programme is complete.

Harrycat,.....I have been doing some hot weather research in appalling conditions on sandy beaches and milkpond seas......it's a tough job but somebody has to do it !....I've come up with some answers but need a bit more research possibly....
