the 190p is a technical target based purely on the breakout from the pennant formation.

Zak Mir is a chartist, and his target is based on:

peak of pennant, 156p
base of pennant, ~85p

vertical distance = 71p
apex of pennant = 125p

therefore target = 125+71 = 196p

The HCL will be done and dusted by the end of this year. What is of concern to me is how Petrel will benefit way down the line. I have complete faith in the management: 2007 the year of the Pet.

The secret of investment is to buy and not to sell until the investment has run its course.

There is expectation of another drop in US crude oil inventories in tomorrow's weekly report from the U.S Department of Energy. We have seen a shock decline in US crude stockpiles, previously, which spooked the market already stretched by tight supplies going into the winter months. If the inventory figures are bad again tomorrow then it could push up to around the 97 usd level.
