    im in p at 299p, and 356p, avg 345p. they are going up, they will reach the 'dizzying(!)' heights of before, they already said when the dividend is being reinstated.
    bp is not a gamble.

    if you say so then it must be true

    Kittie, I see you got a thanks from rewired! It is considered quite an honour in some circles.

    What environmental catastrophe? Where's the oil now? Where will it be a year from now? Five years from now?

    It's a commercial problem for BP and for those suffering as a result of things like the US government's decision to suspend much oil work in the area but that's a very different thing from an environmental catastrophe.

    If it had been in cold water things could have been very different, with far less evaporation and dispersal of the oil.

    You're wasting your time. ninky never let's facts get in the way when there is a good 'right-on' bandwagon crying out to be jumped upon.

    If it's against that evil entity 'big business', all the better.

    I was considered buying BP shares when the news first broke. Thought they couldn't go any lower, but they did.

    A blue chip company cannot fail and they will recover. Well maybe, but I am not investing in BP.

    So did I, and I did, then they definitely did :p

    Fun times.

    To be fair nobody expected Obama to come out with the rhetoric he did. He at one stage compared it to the twin towers attack.
    He has alot to answer for regarding BP's share price.

    Devil in the detail on the second page of T+Cs for non-ISA as you say. Previous post edited yet again.

    I bought 1k with fake money just to see whats happening, was making a profit of £79 but know losing £80, not a good time to buy personally as too erratic atm.
    I all have learnt is from others on many sites.
    Seek legal help if unsure.
