Falklands oil

[EternalOptimist]

Tragic as the earthquake in Chile was, I was wondering if it had any impact on the oil drilling and exploration for oil in the Falklands.
The_Equalizer, has it made any difference to things ?

yeah - a deep crack has opened up and all the oil is now under argentina.

Apparently when they last drilled (1982?) they only recovered 10 litres of oil.

Zero, but the share price has been pushed right down by the Market Makers/Argentine worries (depending on your point of view). Not helped by that Clinton women either. All that said, there's a nice little bounce going on today.

Yup, I've had a spread bet on whilst I organise getting some actual shares into a SIPP.

Was down £200+ yesterday. Now only down £140 ish...

Now heading back in the right direction. There are loads of people making noises about the market makers walking down the price to fill big orders. I must admit I can easily see how this works. Thankfully I'm back in the blue. It should all be academic if you're sticking about for the whole campaign.

Anyway, I've agreed a new contract starting four days after this one, on a (slightly) higher rate and in the back arse of the UK. This means I can still avoid the London commute - oh happy days.

"Falklands Oil"? I think you'll find it will be "USA's oil" by the time drilling starts.

Drilling is under way. Results in 25 ish days for first well.
