bestprice - Lets hope you are right in predicting a 'breakout' next week. However we all know that the real problem is that the US legal minefield seems unending.

[bestprice] 18/10/2013 17:16

My graph only goes back to 1998 - it is quite visible the resistance/support band 430/450. Particularly late 1999, late 2003/early 2004 again in 2013. Feb 2000 and March 2011 it served as support.

I am hopeful next week it will break through - particularly as the RMI looks promising.

There again when did you ever meet a rich chartist!

[bracke] 18/10/2013 16:50

It's been there on a number of occasions and even when it looked set to break out it turned down.

It looks set now so maybe next week will see the move.

Closed tantalisingly close to that elusive 448.

[bracke] 18/10/2013 11:10

Share buybacks, broker outperforms, etc, etc.

BUT it can't get past 448 having tried several times.

Halliburton had recommended BP use 21 centralizers in the Macondo well, and BP chose to use six. Halliburton later claimed that if BP had followed its recommendation to use more, the well would have been more stable.

According to court documents, the government alleged that in May 2010, as part of Halliburton's review of the oil spill which began in April and was plugged in July, Badalamenti directed another manager to run computer simulations comparing performance of 21 centralizers with that of six.

In June that year, Badalamenti allegedly directed a second manager to run a similar comparison.

Both times, the simulations indicated there was little difference between use of 21 centralizers as opposed to six. Prosecutors allege that both times, Badalamenti ordered the managers to delete the simulation results from their computers, and both complied - even though a company executive had asked employees to preserve material related to the well.

The Macondo accident killed 11 workers and the government says 4.9 million barrels of oil spilled into the sea. It took 87 days to contain the well.

In an ongoing, multi-phase civil trial over the cause of the well explosion in federal court in New Orleans, both the government and BP contend that faulty cement work by Halliburton contributed to the disaster.

BP also contends that Halliburton destroyed computer evidence that would have shown those errors.

Oh Dear! The monkey's at it too.

I presume each of the frogs is named Harvey?

[penycae] 14/10/2013 18:38

Evening all.

Elwood P. Dowd: I'd just put Ed Hickey into a taxi. Ed had been mixing his rye with his gin, and I just felt that he needed conveying. Well, anyway, I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name. And naturally I went over to chat with him. And he said to me... he said, "Ed Hickey was a little spiffed this evening, or could I be mistaken?" Well, of course, he was not mistaken. I think the world and all of Ed, but he was spiffed. Well, we talked like that for awhile and then I said to him, I said, "You have the advantage on me. You know my name and I don't know yours." And, and right back at me he said, "What name do you like?" Well, I didn't even have to think twice about that. Harvey's always been my favorite name. So I said to him, I said, "Harvey." And, uh, this is the interesting thing about the whole thing: He said, "What a coincidence. My name happens to be Harvey."


The frogs are real I tell ye! The monkey's seen them too.

optomistic

"Bags for convenience sometimes when time is very limited,"
===========================================================

No this is not right. Making and drinking tea is not to be rushed. However I do approve the use of Darjeeling.

"if you were to call for tea I would serve it in bone china :-)"
==================================================================

Of course! Is there any other way of serving tea?

[optomistic] 14/10/2013 17:43

I do use loose tea as well Bracke, Twining's Breakfast tea and Darjeeling in the afternoon. Bags for convenience sometimes when time is very limited, if you were to call for tea I would serve it in bone china :-)

[bracke] 14/10/2013 17:29

Good afternoon optomistic

I hope you are feeling better and are over your 'moment'. I don't think Penycae needs any help from you on the hallucinating front.....he's Welsh you know.

It is distressing to read that a Yorkshireman is using 'bags' ( even if they are pyramid) rather than proper loose tea.

How standards have fallen, so sad.

[optomistic] 14/10/2013 17:17

Good afternoon Bracke, just giving support to Peny as many may have thought he was hallucinating mentioning his many baby frogs:-)
...nothing stronger than tea as yet...PG Tips (pyramid at the moment)..they were on offer in a local supermarket, won't mention the name as I don't want to give them any free advertising.

'South Yorkshire - Mid October - Warm Spell................................. and as if that wasn't enough..........frog on pavement.'

Now I appreciate that optomistic may have neglected to take his medication or perhaps had one too many glasses of 'Yorkshire Tea' but to find the above in one phrase is beyond the pale!

[optomistic] 14/10/2013 16:41

Penycae, I saw...yes I actually saw a small frog about 3/4" long sat on the pavement in South Yorkshire (very close to the allotment)... I think they are getting a bit mixed up with the late warm spell we have had.
