Purv - as a starter can you give me your CV etc and then we can assimilate you.
Actually that penultimate word might have been too much!
Star - just doing it - trying to find best way of reporting excessiveebulience.
And thank you for your kind support - but getting a bit fed up with folks who don’t realize that :-
Some folks give - without wanting anything back!
GL MATE.
THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT,

OK
Everyone has their opportunity to express an opinion and well done.
Now – couple of things – what “tearful meeting with a corporate account?”
Do you not do charity?
Do you think it’s wrong to offer help in these difficult time?
What age are you?
Do you have any experience?
Oh and BTW – 1 post in 1 month and saying that “I’ve been going on for months!”
Have to say – bit disappointed by 7 “recommendees” – but know who some of them are – and – the others are now being tracked..
YOU A’INT GOT A CLUE WHAT YOU ARE DEALING WITH YOUNGSTER!

Ignore that for now - was only half off my points and loses context.
Talk later.
Hiya Companies like Stena, who are amongst the best in the world evolve perpetually and change business plans according to CURRENT conditions.
It is better to earn $215000 a day than sit in Gib earning jack.
And yep they might have decided to buy a lottery ticket in theses troubled times to hit the jackpot with BPC.
Bit like sensible investing – I.e. blue chip (what’s that these days?) but ‘ave a go with 5%.
IMHO There is a consortium being formed.
I TELL YA WHAT - IN 1984 I was working in the biggest dealing room in the world in NY where in order to keep us happy we had a 5 Star canteen -24/7 - to grab and go back to ya desk. Ya make more money.
A bit “wall st - gecko.”
I’m not joking you could have lobster if you wanted - but you could make an extra grand for the company whilst you were eating it – was the theory!
Then one day @ 10 am New York time 1984 (I kid you not for the intellectuals) 500 people who were used to a cacophony of sound just STOPPED. You literally could have heard a pin drop.
RNS or equivalent in those days:-
LATIN AMERICA WENT BANKRUPT AND WE WENT FROM THE HIGHEST RATED INSTITUTION IN THE WORLD TO “I’m out”IN 1 minute.
Now I only say this for reference of experience- I’ve worked my Way through the good and the bad.
During that time of adversity – my team increased business based on extreme hard work 18/24 and team work.
Taught me a lot.
Whilst not literally having been in a foxhole (thankfully) I know I’ve had more experience of downside than most of current generation and I sort of put that generational thing as about a 30 years perspective for the one’s who get it.
I don’t tend to do specifics – minutiae sometimes can cloud long term planning.
I do long term plans – thank goodness with respect to BPC!
Now - rabbited a bit but it is The Weelend so we should be browsing as opposed to researching and I would advise that.
The human brain can only be optimal for approx 27.10/987654321 mins – We need to switch off.
Which is why I drink @ 17.00 hrs on a Friday ( oh ok everyday@ 17.00hrs) but still can’t switch off – unless a squirrel attacks! and can’t switch off even then until vacation of cerebral input – which tends to mean a bottle of Chablis or Amarone.
Yep
Then wake up @ 02.00hrs and kick my heels or feed the birds and Sammy until appropriate time to make my beloved a cuppa – which varies from “oh no not now to I’d love one.”
She’s got it right - worries about everybody but does get 8Hours kip. - I wish!
Me on avg per diem 5hrs if I’m lucky but that’s never changed - That’s just me or us if that rings a bell - which I think it does in some peeps minds.
Rattling on a bit again but you can turn me off if ya like! –
So BPC: which is? Is not? The important bit?
Icemax sums up about 37.987654321 (think about that) of what I’ve been saying (to the LTHs family.) I’m averaging based on my knowledge + some far more knowledgeable than me and a bit of fun thrown in – BUT

Thks for your kind comments- yep think family are going to be ok.
Usual geriatric stuff that I guess we will all go through – If I live that long with Squirrel attacks!
Pa is 94 and I suspect he might see me out@ this rate!
Tib Thanks mate – I do think that the BOD have not been idle and that financials – I and Ts are being dotted and crossed IMHO.
In my experience the like of Stena do not commit without fully, legally binding contracts. Yes that may encompass some wriggle room – in the case of XY and Z but that is business @ the highest level for the entrepreneurs who make a difference.
Thanks for your input technically – it is much appreciated.

Hiya folks.
Sorry been away a few days as Pa been in hospital.
As you know I think I try not to do too much day to day research these days as I think we are there and drillship to me proves it.
However I do try to give guidance to my friends to stop them making the same mistakes I made along the way.
The SP is being played (Keith this is in response to you as to all as I have been a bit tied up for said reason.)
The majority of our family are PIs until as per recent trades we get some IIs involved for all the right reasons (or not – your choice.)
Most investors on AIM are PIs they therefore are “playing” with their own dosh. Makes for nervousness.
I personally had large financial institutions behind me and could afford to wait and take the risk.
We - BPC are in progress.
Do not bet what you cannot afford. Baby steps is often the best way.
There are forces afoot (Sherlock) who will try to take you out.
There is no new news so they play on it and fill the boots of their big players
That is what they are paid to do.
They sell relatively small amounts – to them and their backers – to push markets where they want them to be and create a bit of panic.
Small anecdote that has nowt to do with BPC but as some of you know I have been warning of possible Indices negativity for a while:
Mr Vanderbilt was walking from his 5th Avenue apartment in 1929 and as per normal stopped @ his shoeshine guy along the way.
On being asked by said shoeshine guy “what should I buy today Mr Vanderbilt” - he responded affably.
Upon continuing on his way Mr Vanderbilt thought - my goodness if the shoeshine boy is investing
- I’m out - he owned about 5% of The stock market, hence The Wall Street crash of The 20’s.
Be careful out there folks..
Luv ya.

OK
Thanks to the ones who do actually research AND remember.
Let’s get down to it:
Who tried to save Barings in the 80,s?
Yep me and a few others with a consortium that only failed cos UK govt jumped in and said:
No we know better and let’s tell the MARKET – Nikkei we are long but we will short it,
About the best one bet ever!
Market and the taxpayers lost twice the amount.
1992 Mr Lamont - £ safe – collapsed – yep made a lot.
2000 ish sold everything except houses.
Sort of thought we were in for a few probs .
2007 – still working in Finance – cancelled all lending for my dealing teams to RBS/HBOS/Notthern Rock/ Alliance & Leicester etc – All went bust a few months later.
That’s my credentials
Plus whilst never ever having in side information of course.
Your choice.

Oh dear!
I was just relaxing with my first glass of Chablis and you had to spike my guns!
I will not get into a how big is yours argument cos I don’t need to. Oh ok I will!
I’ve got more money than you’ve ever dreamed of!
Suffice to say I used to work for the CURRENT largest financial institution in The World.
I did many billion $ deals.
I made several billion $ for said institution.
I dealt with oilcos @ the boardroom level.
I dealt with the biggest food chains @ the boardroom level.
And various other multinationals @ the boardroom level.
Along with many other varied businesses.
I worked in London/NY/Geneva/Zurich/Frankfurt to name but a few.
I had 250 senior execs reporting to me @ 1 point.
Now Percy and Robin just flew down and told me I’m going on a bit.
I don’t like doing this “up my own a..e” stuff that you obviously do – BUT SOMETIMES………
Now then – proof of pudding time and you regular posting guys know I am not here for acclamation:
Please “recommend” or disparage @ your convenience.
Cos I’m getting fed up with the idiots.
GL ALL STALWARTS.
