So this is what "not bringing politics into it" looks like. Who knew?

Where is the torture? Wouldn't like to think I'm missing out.

@1234 yes, but I thought this site was about a company aimed (no pun) at extracting oil from the South Atlantic in partnership with various international companies which are well placed to avoid any UK tax obligations.

Why is is so difficult to understand how energy markets work? If we ever deliver any oil, it's destination will be controlled by one of the big oil companies and the market traders, not by any government so has f all effect on our "energy security".

Looking like a good punt already. Fortune favours the brave, or at least we can hope so.

It's amazing how the mainstream media conspires to parade so many greedy politicians posing as well qualified and internationally recognised scientists.

Silver. Do you really believe that rising sea levels are the only adverse effect we'll feel in the UK? If only it were that simple.

I don't agree with the way the stop oil folks are going about their protests and I fear you're right about how long we're going to remain dependent on oil so I'm hanging on to my RKH punt. Having said that, you shouldn't be too complacent about the scale of the disasters we're going to be seeing with increasing regularity (and the economic consequences for us all) because of the lack of urgency in reducing energy dependence.

You are absolutely right Silverfoil. The planet will eventually correct, or at least stabilise itself be means of global catastrophes which destroy at first, part and eventually most of the world's human civilisation. We are too far along the line now to preserve our lifestyle in its present form, so we might as well enjoy ourselves in the best way we can while we can. I think that's pretty much your point?

Anyone managed to pass the eligibility questionnaire for PrimaryBid. I thought I had a reasonable level of investment nouse and answered honestly but failed so I can't apply for the offer. Not happy.

A total of 10 unfiltered posts in the last 3 pages. This board is just getting silly. Where's Marlon when we need him?

Really useful (and encouraging) research and analysis. Thanks Brightside.

That was a smiley face. Too much for the technology I'm afraid.

😅

Peace bro. My money's in there too. You carry on keeping our spirits up. I hope you're right. GLA.

As a long term, under water, holder (on the basis of nothing more than an uninformed punt), I used to take some comfort from Ovets' relentlessly positive posts, but my fragile confidence had been severely dented by my inability to understand how anyone can see £10,000 gain from every 1p price increase without holding 1m shares (unless it's via spread betting and that's a while new bag of eels). To have it explained simply by being told that I'm not reading carefully enough really doesn't help. Can anyone offer another explanation? If not, I will be forced to conclude that Ovets' arithmetic is deficient, calling into question the basis of all his optimism.

Why don't all the genuine posters just put Bancos on ignore, then we don't have to waste time writing and reading all the speculation about his mental condition and advice on what he should do about it ? It's not that difficult. And btw, thanks Mogger - keep up the good work.

I've got Wancos on ignore but there's no way to stop being bombarded with posts ABOUT Wancos. Arghh!

Thank you Poodle. Just like bucket of water over a group of squabbling kids. Rumours are all we've got so let's enjoy them.
