    I think i've heard of both of these.

    Im not an expert but I think they are oil companies.

    As far as im aware oil is a black liquid which over the last 5 years has lost about two thirds of its value.

    A clever way to gear up on oil prices might be to buy Alberta provincial bonds, or Norwegian sovereign bonds. But not for me.
    Free the dunston one next time too.

    But surely it was a perfect title because it was so inane that everyone could mark it out as something that wasn't going to be written by someone with a serious or urgent question on which they were going to present some interesting views... so we could skip the thread unless we were really really bored

    :D

    The OP doesn't do 'informative', and only seems to submit posts that contain at least two question marks.

    BP shares what? They haven't shared anything with me
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    They shared a lot of their assets (about 4.9m barrels) with the inhabitants of the Gulf of Mexico in 2010....
