Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Tom you keep threatening to take a sabattical. We will believe it when we see it.
As applies to everything you write.
If you short Slater and Gordon at current share price, you truly are a fool.

How I shall miss you. The handover to flip flop is completed. I am doing a couple of pieces on the train tomorrow and then it is au revoir. I fear you will have to start goading Flip Flop if you want a response.
As to S&G, we shall see.

Agree re Slater Gordon.
GKP at interesting juncture. Kurdistan recently raised two fingers to Iraq and have started selling all oil independantly. Can Iraq stop them is the Big Question.
KRG have stated part reason for independant sales is to pay oil companies
Won’t have long to wait….
