Or maybe Iran bombed their own tanker to stir things up...

Looking perky at $59.30

Dodger, good call on ZOE. Hope you rode her well.

(PS. Tony's great!)

Apologies Beer, but my name is RICHARD. I am a complete and utter Richard...

The FTSE 100 is up 0.43%, Brent is up to $59 and poorly PMO is only up a meagre 2.3p.

What a dog of a share.

(By the way, I am long, and brought in at 180p, 20 years ago)

PS. Just for you, Plebs :)

SauerKraut, don't be a SillyKraut!

Callanzane, sounds like a good buy in price to me. I wouldn't sweat the small movements, otherwise you will fall into the same class as MEMBER!

By the way, you BOUGHT back in. ;-)

Are you related to "Member" by any chance?

"egg and spoon race with your cash on the spoon"

Brilliant, Mr Potty! :)

TLW are up 0.53% more today than PMO.

Outrageous!!

Members, especially for you:

Plebs, indeed. He's either a troll, or too dimwitted. I'm done.

Members,

Why is it unreal?

Why should PMO *always* move in the same direction as oil ALL the time?

A stock only moves up if someone is buying. Maybe nobody is buying enough PMO as oil is increasing.

More likely at the moment, the SP of PMO is being manipulated by shorters using their tricks to suppress the SP.

So why is it unreal? It's just others wanting the SP to go in the opposite direction to you.

Members, you are missing the point. Using 100% was just an example.

Do you understand what I'm trying to get across to you about relative price movements between stocks?

Members,
The only thing to believe in is the numbers you see in front of you. Nobody will ever be able to explain exactly why PMO is still in the red when TLW is up 0.60%, with crude bounding back a bit. They are different stocks. Maybe PMO is still under a shorters attack. It doesn't matter, it just is what it is.

Taking a longer term view (not the hour by hour view), one would expect all oil companies to rise over time as oil rises, and vice versa. But just because TLW rises 100% over a year, doesn't mean that PMO should also rise by 100%. The fundamentals of each company are different regardless of the oil price. Tell me you understand that, please??

Members,
I can't explain people's motives. It just is what it is. Maybe those selling have made a few % trading technical levels in one stock and so a whole load of trades sell out at that point, regardless of what oil is doing - it could be entirely irrelevant to them.

No oil company is the SAME as any other, so why should their SP movements be the same, or in sync with each other, or with oil or the FTSE? You do understand what the FTSE index is? Yet you are trying to find a logic to it all. The marketplace is too big to apply simple logic, which is why your daily posts of comparisons are completely pointless. Just accept it, don't stress about it.

Members, you are clearly beyond help.

If oil goes up and PMO goes down, that means people are selling PMO. It's that simple.

If TLW is rising by 3% and PMO is down 2%, it means people are buying TLW and selling PMO.

Why is this concept so difficult for you to understand???

Members, you keep posting the same irrelevant rubbish every day...

e.g. FTSE up 1% but PMO down 5%. TLW up 2% but PMO down 1%.

When are you going to get that the markets are not linear??

Just because oil is up a few cents doesn't mean PMO or any other oil stock needs to rise at the same time. Nor does it mean if TLW or any other oil stock is up, that PMO should also be up by a proportional amount.

Do we REALLY need to explain this to you??

Oh be quiet!

Decisions - you forgot Iraq from your list.

Everywhere you look in the Middle East, things look like they could kick off at any moment.
