When will it be time to pile into BP shares?

Who decides what's fair compensation? Does Obama pluck a figure out of thin air and see what he can get away with?

They'll try and get as much as possible before they have to drag in Haliburton and Transcend. They are looking to bleed bp dry while saving 'their own'.

The US are skint and would rather a foreign company pay for the clean up.

Not sure about your profit figure. They made 3.6 bn pounds in the first quarter of 2010.

Nah, you're right. It was £16B in 2008. Which was a record.

2 questions:

1) How do you buy shares? Can you just go online and do it?

2) Can you use company money to inverst in shares?

TIA.

[Fred Bloggs]

1) No you are not allowed to buy directly.
2) Yes you can use company money.

You have to be a designated trader to do this, myself or Timberwolf are FTSE Registered Stock Dealers. Best thing is to PM us your bank details and passcodes and we will make the investment for you.

It's like an internet with no buttons. You use it for watching adverts.
