i see sp boiled over badly, presumably for no good reason other than profit-taking

Looks like heavy oil not profitable.

so have you shorted and if so at what price and how many, or is this just so much guff again? ..... other than that, your logic is illogical (aka bollocks)

Hlyoe - Nothing personal; but thats absurd. Considering this company is knowingly looking for heavy oil in the Bentley prospect that renders your last statement utterly irresponsible and meaningless and esp. without an iota or trace of evidence . What makes you say it looks like "heavy oil" of a non profitable nature ? ? Do tell. Would love to know your source as flies in the face of opinion

Well I was very busy since early today...come back at 5pm and what's going on here ?....up 24p this morning...minus 12p when I come back...I might get a long tomorrow morning....

Good consolidation period, and thats good for longer term gains.

By my estimates all the T-traders will be fully back in by 18th November, some will be back before then.

Should remain weak for 2 or 3 more days at the most I reckon. Now is just the game of waiting for the lowest low to buy a load before it moves back up.

all very unfriendly here this morning ...... as i have said in the past, this is an MM only stock, so trading is particularly opaque

Did a daft thing...sold a few and then moments later bought them back...not been able to follow ...been busy...damn....hope this rebounds a bit....

Tried to buy 15,000 shares at 214, 215, 216, 217 and no chance.

Will wait until later today in the hope of a tree shake into Canada opening.

We might have hit the bottom just now.....people like yourself will help the sp up a little, possibly...

RF, no, I do not want to buy any, I am loaded from 20p levels.

Its just if the market is going to be silly and price is going to drop down after all the good news, I might, if the price is right, buy another wedge, but only at silly prices.....

Topped up here as can't be long before news comes..

i bought some too at 223 ...... meanwhile, Nice is as lovely as ever and still sunny and quite warm

i'm surprised you got any money left to invest...you gadabout.,.

As you're in Nice...if you like icecream....check out "the palais des glaces" behind the avenue des anglais in the rue de france I think it is or is it avenue....hope it's still there...try the coffee special.....fantastic....no need for a meal afterwards....

prefer fish, certainly at this time of year .... had some belon oysters last night -yummy scrummy!

Nice is a place i know extremely well but for the most part it s restaurants are rather pricey .Somewhat notorious among denizens of this district for its overpriced eateries; but given its location thats hardly surprising ...But in saying that if your prepared to pay for true value then dine at the "Acchiardo" for the freshest bestest yummiest shellfish/ fish dishes in the South- a truly XCITING EXPIRIENCE... { please excuse rather awful pun Cynners ) .Failing that La Rendez-vous des amis" is also top notch as is Keis Passion -reknowned for its exquisite desserts as is La Grand Cafe de Turin. My g/f is shouting that if you have a sweet tooth then Keis is your place. ....................................As for mkt . Did you notice AIM up 12% yesterday ? ,,,,,Thats usually a percentile rise only ever seen at the tailend of a long bullmarket .......

TFC - money has to go somewhere to get a return.

With no chance in housing now and house prices due to continue going down, and bank rates very low and the Far East trying to stop the money going there it has to go somewhere and this will mean, I do believe, markets will keep on rising and rising for a good 6 more months.

If you are not in it, you will not win it..............

Reg. your analysis and prognosis Mr. P. l fully concur /and would be playing the devils advocate if i were to express a contrarian view to your own esp. when looking at short term macro-economic variables ...l rarely invest outside junior oil and both hard/soft comms esp gold nickel ,copper. and so called "rare earth metals " and coffe being the pick of soft comms....so reaping the benefits of prodigious rise in those respective sectors ............lncidentally nice play in initially recognising XEL @ 20p ./..and even nicer play in refraining from crystalizing your paper profit at these current levels
