    Article says...:
    “Shares in Premier Oil currently stand at 73.56GBX on the London Stock Exchange...”

    ...Just a a “little” difference of 10,000 %...

    Regarding Falklands oil exploration, Argentine Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana stated in February 2010, that his Government would take 'all measures necessary to preserve our rights' and also reiterated that Argentina had a 'permanent claim' on the islands, saying 'Buenos Aires would complain to the UN over the oil project and might take the case to the International Courts of Justice in the Hague.'254 (British Drilling For Falklands Oil Threatens Argentine Relations, Pope, F. , 13 Feb 2010 and Potential Drilling off Falkland, Provokes Tension Between Argentina & UK, IRRU News, 17 Feb 2010.)

    Chuckle chuckle ... try Googling the difference between GBP and GBX and you would find the article is in fact correct and you are not.

    Not that there is anything new in that. Idiot.

    Thank you for teaching an old & humble Patagonian Social democrat like me some of the intrinsicalities of the Stock Market...

    GBX it is, indeed...

    Thinking people never cease to learn ;-)

    By the way.... I see that PMO shares have fallen 2,5% to 71.82 GBX
    today...

    Must be the good news about the umpteenth postponement of first Malvinas oil to 2020 this time...

    Chuckle, cuckle, chuckle...

    The years pass too quickly. 2020 does not seem so far away.

    Stink is always on about the shares. One can only presume he bought a pup?

    Went to a talk on this subject in Stanley yesterday evening. It would appear that extraction of oil becomes viable once the oil price reaches $45 a barrel and that the oil industry is expecting oil prices to move upwards in the next few years. The oil has been under the sea for millions of years - so what is another 3 or 4 years in the overall scheme of things?

    Perhaps the richer and wealthier the Falkland's becomes,

    the more barrels of oil it produces in the future, the bigger the danger of conflict,

    perhaps the British government should make the islands impregnable
    against future argentine aggression and EU interference, seeing as they may become the worlds new buddies,
    just an honest thought.
