SP supported at Daily SMA 200 - 469. If this fails there is a gap to fill at 451; thereafter 440.

Pram

I do agree with your statement regarding short-term clarity. It is the first time that it has been possible to say that in an awfully long time.

You may well be right redartbmud (and it probably IS worth 'saying' it twice!), but my point was that for the next few months you don't have to take a view on what an 'out of the blue' decision is going to do (only worry about the USUAL out of the blue issues that come up with this share!).

read more time for BP to fill the coffers, so that the fine can be larger.... but I am not a cynic.

Well. W'ere free from Macondo lawsuits for 9 months...

U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier and attorneys for BP and the federal government agreed Friday (March 21) to a Jan. 20, 2015, start date for the third and final phase of the civil trial. The last segment will determine how much in fines BP will pay tied to the April 2010 Deepwater Horizon rig explosion and resulting damage.

It follows two previous stages completed in 2013. One in April focused on the liability of BP and its partners while drilling the Macondo well. The second in October aimed to settle just how much oil was released into the gulf.

Barbier set the date for the final phase after hearing more than two hours of arguments parsing what evidence attorneys would be allowed to use in the final stretch of litigation. The judge had hoped to move forward by this summer, yet he said he had little choice but to push it into next year, given the debate over what additional evidence the government and BP may bring to the table.

a bit of plus and minus I guess, might help BP perspective regards Russia, but Oil price could also ease. BP does seem to be tracking FTSE 100 very closely regardless of news, which with the divi is OK. and should be good if they can maintain the increases in the divi.

Is the talking between US and Russia over Ukraine, this weekend, going to be good for BP(reduces the risk of retaliatory action by Russia on BP over sanctions)

[neilyb675] 29/3/2014 11:01

Scrip shares been added, lovely jubbly.

Uncle_Sam

Of course Texas and Alaska were 'inherited' from their under-performing previous owner.

But you are surely not going to try to persuade anyone that US law is red in tooth and claw and designed on the one hand to rip cash from those that have it, and on the other hand to keep 'uppity'-folk firmly in their place, are you?

[sicker] 25/3/2014 09:10

In the Scotland they say "you've made an unfortunate mistake, let us help you sort it out"
In USA they say "you've made an unfortunate mistake, it's gonna cost you big time buddy.

[dafrog] 25/3/2014 08:46

I would like BP out of USA also but how did the UK punish Occidental for Piper Alpha?

[redartbmud] 25/3/2014 08:11

Uncle_Sam

The only recourse to BP is to sell all of it's interestd in the USA and concentrate on the rest of the world. Thedre is plenty of scope and it might do some good then.

Put your toys back in your pram, Pram, and look instead to the present risks to BP's strategy in Russia. The self-inflicted wounds and Gordian knot it made for itself in America go back long before the Gulf disaster; remember Alaska, and Texas too. The American legislature gave them many chances to clean up their managerial act but they did not, not until ultimately being slapped really hard, in both purse and privilege. They have now dressed their American wounds and recaptured some rights to work there, cleaned house (somewhat) and put a line under it.

4spiel's points are prescient.

[donaferentes] 24/3/2014 23:39

Yeah, what has BP ever done for us!

[prambigear] 24/3/2014 21:25

Or put another way 4spiel, 'what have BP to gain in the Gulf of Mexico except to be royally screwed by Obama and dodgy lawyers?

[4spiel] 24/3/2014 20:52

With Putin on the warpath I think what damage he might do BP if he started looking for a scapegoat? They nearly got Dudley once before but he decided to embrace the bear hug because it was clear that if BP did not reinvest substantially the proceeds of their existing stake they would lose out badly -but maybe this was just prolonging the agony. In any case with abundant shale gas activity now what really have BP to gain in the Arctic ice Except to be screwed further by Putin?
