    I think Shell is more a gas play than an oil play now.

    Yes, I think either you, or someone mentioned that recently, if they break above 1900 here they should see 2150 - 2200 fairly quickly, have no spare cash in my ISA until April so I will watch them.

    having said that since I bought it has dropped almost down to the 27p level. so I'm at my 'should I stay or should I go' point rather more quickly than I thought..
    Interesting, quick question cloud, was there a sudden drop in price today?

    Am wondering because US Nat Gas inventories were released at 10:30 EST (14:30 UK) and it was very bearish number.

    Just looked at that one NGAS, it tracks Nymex Nat Gas, so would have responded to US inventories, might want to remember that report comes every Thursday at 10:30 EST if you decide to hold.

    As you said the drawdown numbers were not particularly straining and also I've heard mention that Merril have lowered their average price to $4 from $5.

    This may end up being one of my shortest ever trades. :o
