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

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.Originally posted by Moscow Mule View PostYup, 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...
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.

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