something interesting I learned at NPR
« on: June 14, 2010, 09:10:09 PM »
It brought 2 interesting points.
1.because so much oil is STILL gushing into the ocean,doesn`t  that hint how much oil is out there?
2. the bigger the cost for Bp, is more reason to keep on drilling.

in other words the spill is not a true deterent at all

by the time Obama is finished there will be no oil drilling anywhere, or he will just take the oil business and have the government run it like GM.

obama can`t shut it down for long. unless he`s willing to give bp a pass on all damages. you can make money out of thin air but it`s not likely gonna cover the cost.

BP is still profitable , which is amazeing to me.

Can BP get a loan ?

If they could get credit they might be able to pay damages in a realistic amount and timely , then pay off the diffrence over the course of years.


Bottom fishers could buy half price BP stock right now, good bet?

=====================================================
A bottom fisher needs to find the bottom. I see no sign that BP is even close.

A day trader could luck off if he were to buy BP a day before they fired the BP president and sold immediately afterward.

The managers of the FMIHX fund that is rated five stars and tends to outperform the s&P 500, just dumped all its BP stock. So, no, I would not mess with it now. It has yet to hit the bottom, I'd say. BP could go bankrupt over this. Unlikely, but possible.

As I said, it is unlikely that BP will go under, but it is a possibility. Another thing that could happen is that BP shares will drop so low that some other oil company will acquire it. The BP name is no longer worth sh*t. That "Beyond Petroleum" bit never flew, anyway. It is rather likely that BP will be acquired, merge or in some other way be known by a less despicable name.

When BP (as in British Petroleum) bought out Amoco (as in American Oil Co.), they had signs at the station under the BP logo, stating that BP sold "high quality Amoco Gasoline" ir something like that. After a year, the signs vanished. I guess they were worried about a boycott of Americans who did not like Her Majesty's country taking over something American.
