Confussed now. Before any wit gets there I know its easy to do.

So Amvesco and Capital both have a nominee accounts labeled Chase Nominees Ltd??? can two ltd companys with the same name exist?

proper question any answers please?

regards

Chase Nominees I presume offer their nominee services to a great many clients who are the beneficial owners of stocks they hold in their name??

why they call it chase nominees? is it because they keep chasing juicy little fishes? anyway, many thanks for the info.

a bill passed in the senate this week would open 8million acres offshore in the gulf of mexico to exploration by energy companies, ending a longstanding moratorium on drilling in the eastern gulf near the Florida shoreline.
SEY operates in the area.

MM wants your shares! Look at the ratio Of Buy to sell. MM needs to fulfill a buy order so he is hoping that by marking them down, there will be string of sellers. So far that has not happened so the other alternative is to mark them higher which I think will happen nearer the close. Watch this space!

Plaudits to Orvis, from today's london Evening Standard.



From the Market Report section of today's London Evening Standard...
.
'Keep an eye on Sterling Energy, run by veteran explorer Harry Wilson. The company is already a producer of gas in the Gulf of Mexico and, more recently, of oil off West Africa as a co-owner of licences in Mauritania's Chinguetti field.

The spotlight is now moving to Madagascar, which the world's majors are hoping could be on the verge of a boom. US giant Exxom Mobil recently said it could be another Nigeria or Angola.

Sterling has two blocks off the Madagascar coast covering 28,000 acres, More importantly, its partner and co-operator on the licence is now Exxon, to whom it farmed out 70% of its interests.

Word from Houston is that Exxon is accelerating its plans in the region by two years and could start drilling in early 2007.'
