    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.

      US recession + campaign for another term in office

      That doesn't sound like a speedy resolution in clarifying BP's balance sheet.

          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.

              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.

                  Do you have a television?
                  While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

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