And still I am waiting for PRE to say they have found the motherload the size of Lake Superior!

Apple pie,apple and plum pie,apple crumble and apple dumplings.....if nothing else can now comfort eat to oblivion. By the way, went apple picking at the weekend.

Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz my friends all drive Porche's I must make amens. So said the late great Janice Joplin. I see myself more as a DB9 man. But unless this hits a quid I'll have to stick with what I've got. I need a drink.

Good luck

Well hopefully 16.5 bid will be the support here, seemed to work today. Will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings since oils have had a few down days in a row. Will we rise from here or trade sideways for a while longer. Noticed HNR bounced from the low, will we follow tomorrow. Interesting times as always.

Food posts flying in, tea is on for me, beef stew with carrots and new potatoes. Not as exciting as some on here I note. Wild salmon and fillet steak, nice! Even talk of homemade ice-cream. As for sandrews apple extravaganza, tasty. Would also do some homemade apple sauce, goes nicely with some roast pork with honey and mustard rubbed into the fat, nice and crispy.

Here's hoping for a better day tomorrow. Now if we get beaten from Moldova tonight...

Morning all.

Morning all.

morning team.

all quiet on the trading front. mkts are so damn uncertain right now. is it the doom and gloom of the dreaded October month hanging over us????? in all my years of trading this month always seems to have an ominous feeling about it....

anyway, if you get the impression i got out the wrong side of bed i really didn't, i am just trying to make head or tail of the jittery mkts...

Know what you mean proptrade.

Can't understand how small things affect prices so much some times.

Such is life!

Time for brunch!

it all comes back to food...

i am meeting a mate in the City for a fat boys luncheon. can't wait.

Looks like we have stabalised for now.

HNR still dropping off.

What we need now is a good lunch, I mean good news.

Are you guys not going to mention the plug in the Chronic Investor this morning?






















Or are you all having breakfast?

:o)

hilary - Not seen it, and if you attached it, it is still not there.

Had a look see but can not find the article >:-(

Mauritania holds promise for partners
The first two wells of a new drilling campaign off the coast of Mauritania have produced encouraging results. Tev, an exploration well, and Tiof, an appraisal hole, both met pre-drill expectations.

The wells are located in production-sharing area B, where partners include Premier Oil, BG, Hardman Resources and Roc Oil. The operator is Australia's Woodside. Sterling Energy is also a player - even though it is no longer a direct stakeholder, it has a royalty agreement with Premier and gets bonus payments for additional discoveries.


You may be right,but now I've got terrible wind!!!!!!

UP 3/4p, nice bit of early trading.

Bit up and down today already but |I am sure it will feel better soon.

I have just taken some Beechams......

morning all, nice mention in the IC (i assume that was the source of your last post SWW)

thx for the heads up hilary, always appreciate news like that!

lets see if there is any follow through today. i still call these at 20 by the end of the month.

really don't like the look of the broader mkt at the moment (here or over the pond). i think these october jitters may persist for a while. personally i think the outperformer going forward will be japan and i am looking at buying some out the money calls for this time next year. a word i haven't heard talked about for a while is that old favorite "decoupling". i think the time for japan to break out to 12000+ will be in spite of lacklustre mkts elsewhere.

one mans friday morning view....

would mention IC article but i understand its not polite to gloat too much.Blue still my favorite colour!PS do not see alot of downside in this one,also like FTO as well( for the chinese market potential)
And then of course there is PET!!!!.....................Pass the Beechams Sea wallwalker!!!

Afternoon all,

Nice up day today. Thanks for pointing out the IC tip. 20p by end of the month would be good. Cheers Prop for your morning thought, always makes interesting reading. See we are talking wind this morning, as long as it's not in the GOM! Away out for most of the day.

Well I must say.

I am very pleased to see the rise has held till now, if it was dorade that made it falter, it seems the panic sellers have now left us.

Thanks for all the good stuff this week guys and gals, it's been fun!

Last visit in today as I have to prepare the dinner.

Have a good weekend all.

Speak next week.

Don't know if anyone has seen this, announced at 1pm. Hope it doesn't have an adverse effect on the sp.
