BP worth a punt?
Discussion
Should be a good day tomorrow, Usa Bp shares have just shot up 10% on news that Bp has stopped the leak:
BP says oil from its broken well has stopped gushing into the Gulf of Mexico for the first time since April.
The announcement Thursday came after company officials said all valves had been shut on a new cap over the busted well in an experiment to stop the spill.
Kent Wells, a BP PLC vice president, said at a news briefing that oil stopped flowing into the water at 2:25 p.m. CDT.
It was a long-awaited milestone in one of the nation's worst environmental disasters. While not a permanent solution to plug the busted well, the success in capturing the oil spewing out was welcome news.

Finally some good news, their going after transocean. I always thought the onus should fall on the rig owner to make sure it was safe.

As this is pistonheads I always assume that shares were bought at the absolute low, by the supermodel girlfriend (who has numerous directorships), whilst using my iphone as a passenger in my Zonda.limpsfield said:
