Shares in Falkland Islands exploration company Desire Petroleum (DES.L) more than doubled on Wednesday following internet bulletin board speculation of a bid approach for the Falklands focused explorer and an oil find, traders said. Read full article
That is a rather surprising jump mind. The torygraph, as usual, infers shady practice but in spite of that I do find this a bit suspicious, Sure having another poke at Rachel indicates that they found some promising info there...but that much of a price rise?
W.O.B.A.A.
Watch out bad Argentineans about.
we can all make things up [think]
but Argentina will still be complaining about the Falklands decades from now ??
long live peace .
I am currently in Saudi Arabia so not much opportunity for a drink, i'm afraid. Should know for certain the outcome of the Rachel sidetrack next week. Something is clearly happening as the amount PIs hold is relatively small compared to the Institutions. Will it be oil and will that oil (if there is any) be commercial (quality, quantity and flow)? We will see next week.
Only here one night for a meeting tomorrow. On to Dubai Sat night then can sup on a beer or two. Back home to wife and little boy on Tuesday :-) and work :-(

I agree,…….. but maybe the implications of the term “Stalking” should be more properly defined when used in the “Internet” context……….
Nothing wrong about looking into the other guys eyes when having a dialogue...................
I can assure you that, in this case, it was just an odd coincidence……
Was skimming the DES CULT BB, taking part and pleasure in the “adrenalin rush”, without owing a share ( I’m beginning to understand how you guys feel :-) …………….
Still takes a bit of leg work Think! Time could be best spent on other constructive endeavours.
Looking into another persons eyes is not always appropriate in some cultures. When I talk with female Japanese students I have to make sure I do not make eye contact and I focus on their neck area. If I was to make eye contact they would think I was being suggestive.
Feel free to look at my posts on iii - you will see that I realy post but when I do it is usally just for fun or to make a serious point. I was the first to post about Nestor's death and indicated that such an event is above politics and making money. I don't get carried away and am certainly not in any DES, RKH, FOGL cult. I use my head (investing) and throw in a bit of balls (speculating) to make my descisions.
Halloween is on its way, bloggers put your masks away
the kids will be out trick or treating, I take it the Falklands and south Americans do the same thing, [scary] just a bit of harmless fun
the world needs a break. Step back and enjoy, the Falklands are British,
what more could possibly be happier,
Well……………
As you identify yourself as a “reasonable educated” fortyish male Anglo-Saxon……
And I’m certainly not a “suggestion-worthy” female Japanese student…..
No harm done then…. :-)
I think in the future the argentine government will except that the Falklands are entitled to live in peace, and will always be allied to Britain,
the only other alternative i can see is Falklands II, Unless Britain finds itself unable to defend its self or the Falklands, but what are the chances of that ?,
Think. As you can see from the market reaction this is not a major concern. They are going through this for a reason. Have they found something? We will find out soon enough!
