''if it opened at 280p they would get sold at 280p''.That is the problem with stop losses, I remember a few years back there was a huge blip down across the whole market,it shot through all the stop losses which caught away lower than the stop loss then bounced back in about a minute and triggered all the stop losses in the country for b#gger all.There is always a risk no matter what you do.

I sense a touch of sarcasm and resentment in your view ----------Sarcasm? hmm nope a wee bit o' humour.Resentment? definitely not.You got it right,well done but the story goes on,it does not end here.We might see you back in before Friday, good luck.

ASENAL17, you managed to sell at the high point of the day, you are my hero. Warren Buffet is a rookie compared with you.

Share dealing acting the fool again.I accepted a quote within the time limit and it popped up ''time expired''. It took 3 goes for a sale to go through each at a smaller quote than the one before it.This is becoming quite common.

LOL, guid yin CP52.

kenbob1,you will keep on making these rookie mistakes.I have been investing for 35 years and still make these so called ''rookie'' mistakes.The market is like shifting sands and what works sometimes does not work at all on other times.A lot of people are down 30-40% on this share,it's hard to trade your way out of that and have to sit it out.

Charlie,a Macondo 2 would finish the company.

Baz can now be away with the bools Only one game can be played at a time. only one person allowed in the locker room at a time.all equipment must be disinfected every time you use it + no bar.Not worth the bother, our club is still closed.

''Brent $38, BP £3.10. Market anomalies like this should be snapped up.''----------------Then why aren't they?.They are here because of perceived risk that us mere wee investors know nothing about.All the chit chat you get on these boards is exactly that (I am gulty of it as well) At the end od the day it is a guessing game.Will BP be down here forever? nope. that is good enough for me.

Duke lol, ye never offended me or put my nose out of joint, it was a wee bit o' advice which I am sure you do not need. At the end of the day,and this applies to all on here, it's a guessing game

Duke, this not a wee game you are playing versus an invisible friend on the board. This is your own money you are gambling/investing here.Make your own decisions when buying/selling as any loss will be your own. No offence meant.

dukelands,big buys shove the price up not down.The big buys will be suppressing a Friday drop.

Sgurr,this happened to me as well this morning but I got there in the end. Heavy trading at opening keeps the eejits out until the big boys have had their fill. Cost me 2p though,it never ever goes in my favour.

''i target 400 pence for the long term'--------'.And your long term is what? 1 month? 2? 3? 6? 1 year.
Put some flesh on the bones.

Cheers for that.

And a 5 tonne cube of gold is approx. 25 inches per side

where do you look for BP price in Europe.

For the pedants/purists on here a 1 tonne cube of gold has sides of 14.677 inches

Char, some of your predictions have come true ie divi cut but (21st Feb-----I've topped up around £18.75, ), this is the bit that bugs me.You predicted pretty well so far what was coming down the line and you still bought at the above price. You also said if it gets back to £24 you might cut and run at a loss therefore your personal holdings must be higher than that. Your wisdom seems to have came pretty late in the day.

Good for you ARSENAL,happy days.One day you will sell and the sp will keep on rising or you will buy low and the price keeps on dropping.Been there done it.As the sage of Omaha says ''there is no easy way to make money'' Good luck in your present ''purple '' patch.
