Really? How do you know this? That is what people said about Lehman Brothers, General Motors, Washington Mutual, Circuit City, Wachovia, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, shall I continue? more.... Conseco, New Century, PG&E, Enron, Global Crossing, World-Com, Indymac, Delphi Corp, Adelphia Communications, DAL, UAL, virtually every .com company in 1999-2000 to date except AMZN, etc. and this oil company called Texaco (04-12-1987). I am not making comparisons. I am just stating the fact that people said these above companies could not fail that their stocks would come back one day..in the log run, etc. They were all wrong. I am just stating this is not always true. Read my post history. Here are a couple links from 2007 I tried to warn people about: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuKU6Z3PRb7ir4tqjdWOIpXty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071031144709AAq5Ql2&show=7#profile-info-6049a2cb7ab1f9bdad88eec566e8c30faa http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArcdwJtUtdtpAq7NtZWYROjty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071120072724AABavPd&show=7#profile-info-vQp08k6kaa You may want to read this: "BP May Be at Bankruptcy Risk" http://netadvisor.wordpress.com/2010/06/09/bp-may-be-at-bankruptcy-risk/ A lot of people forgot to read the words, above... "MAY Be" not WILL BE, but "May Be" - suggesting there is risk. The report outlines some of this risk and is support by credible sources. I am just saying that there is a higher risk in a BK over the next 1-3 years than say Apple or Google, can we agree on this point? I am not the only one who is in this camp. read on: --- Credit Risk: BP's credit has been downgraded by all three major corporate credit rating agencies: Fitch, S&P, and Moody's: 06-03-2010 "BP credit rating downgraded (by Moody's) over oil disaster" http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/natural_resources/article7143445.ece 06-15-2010 "BP credit hit by six-notch Fitch downgrade" http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE65E1YA20100615 06-18-2010 "S&P downgrades BP's credit rating on future costs of oil spill" http://www.news.com.au/business/breaking-news/sp-downgrades-bps-credit-rating-on-future-costs-of-oil-spill/story-e6frfkur-1225881190224 What this means is the cost of credit or to get more credit or loans will go up sharply. --- Counter Party Risk: 06-17-2010 "US bank tells traders not to sign long-term deals with BP after credit rating dives" http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-bank-tells-traders-not-to-sign-longterm-deals-with-bp-after-credit-rating-dives-2002683.html Oh, one more thing, "British Petroleum" does not exist anymore. As of May 1, 2001, the legal name of the company is "BP, PLC" http://www.bp.com/genericarticle.do?categoryId=2012968&contentId=2001578 BP Brands http://www.bp.com/sectiongenericarticle.do?categoryId=3&contentId=2006926 ------ Positives ------ 1. BP's stock seems a little more stable compared to the volatility as of late which is a plus, but a couple days does not make a trend. 2. BP's Credit Default Swaps (CDS) have improved over the last couple days. This is market forces. BP's liability has not gone way. http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/feedarticle/9129967 3. BP's Chief Hayward did a good job after being grilled by U.S. Congress hearing on 06-17-2010. Short run the stock could have a technical bounce again. 4. Capping the well for good I think should have a sharp bounce in the stock. This could last 1-3 days, then reality of calculating liability should bring the stock down. ============================================= edit/ follow up: That's OK, just wanted you to understand some of the huge and unknown financial risks you are taking. Keep in mind that bankruptcy does not mean a company will be resolved (that means it does not have to go into Chapter 7 liquidation and goes away). It means the equity is frequently wiped out (aka General Motors), and the company continues, wiping out mush of the debt and liabilities. I think the U.S. division of BP is at a greater risk than the EU, remaining global divisions. --- Cash Flow and Political Risk: 1. All of the cash flow from Gulf Operations has gone to ZERO under the Obama moratorium. 2. Obama has threatened to pull BP contracts in the USA, which would effective kill the U.S. division. That is why I said the U.S. BP division is especially at risk. 05-28-2010 "Obama Vows Tougher Stance on Oil Industry " http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704269204575270031411598538.html --- Earrings Risk 05-05-2010 "Oil slick threatens to kill off Obama's drilling plans" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthnews/7678871/Oil-slick-threatens-to-kill-off-Obamas-drilling-plans.html --- Business Risk (major potential risk of loss of earnings) "BP holds more than $2 billion in annual US defense contracts and continues to be the premiere provider of fuel to the world's largest consumer of oil and gas: the Pentagon." http://www.thenation.com/blog/fueling-war-pentagon-still-buying-most-its-oil-and-gas-bp --- Political Risk Keep in mind, it doesn't matter how strong one thinks a company is, when Socialist government leaders want to destroy a company, destroy it they will. 05-22-2010 "US may bar BP from federal contracts as oil closes beaches" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/energy/oilandgas/7753611/US-may-bar-BP-from-federal-contracts-as-oil-closes-beaches.html 06-14-2010 "BP May Lose U.S. Oil Leases, Contracts After Spill" http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-06-14/bp-may-lose-u-s-oil-leases-contracts-after-spill-update3-.html 06-16-2010 "BP’s Contracts in "Deep" Trouble" http://www.zacks.com/stock/news/35639/BP?s+Contracts+in+"Deep"+Trouble Question: If this BP spill occurred 4000+ miles away from U.S. waters, do you think the outcomes would be the same? --- Legal Risk This is a HUGE wild card: Completely unknown at this time, and it may be years before we know the true costs.

Open a share dealing account with your bank or one of the online stockbrokers - e.g. TD Waterhouse or Selftrade where you can buy the actual shares, it's a straightforward process. Alternatively you could buy them via a self select ISA again through you bank or one of the online providers such as iii. Finally if you are really confident the price will rise in the short term you could buy them via a spreadbetting account - e.g. IG Index, then any profit you make will be tax free. Im not getting into the debate about the risks involved in this, you clearly know that already, just make sure you put a stop loss in place when you buy (a stop loss will be triggered if the price drops below a certain level) so if the price does tank you limit your loss to the percentage of your investment you are prepared to lose.

I was just saying the same thing, but I backed away from the thought after thinking that this is so far from being over, it's very high risk. Answered By: LL - 6/18/2010

Speculating that BP will go up over the long term is complete speculation. The problem here is that you, nor does anyone know when BP's stock price will go back up. There is a way to read technicals of a stock that will give you an accurate, reality-based picture of what is happening with a stock's price. When you learn how to read what's happening with BP you can make a decision with more probabilities in your favor than with speculation which has no real probabilities working in your favor. I hate to see you or anyone lose money with BP. It's so much more fun to be in stocks that really do well.

If you are not going to trade regularly, your bank can buy for you, without opening a trading account; if you have the funds in your account. Check out the approximate price first,(so that you don't look stupid) and work out how many you want to buy. Not worth investing less than £500, because of dealing costs.

Ok, since people on here are being rude and attacking my answer instead of coming up with their own opinons and reasons for their answer, I'm going to make it short and sweet for you... It is my personal opinon that BP is irresponsible with their equipment and the enviroment, and by investing in their company you are encouraging the success of a company that has contributed to the disruption and or destruction of the lives of hundreds if not thousands of people and animals. They are a danger to the enviroment...not something I would ever invest in for moral reasons alone. It is important to remember the big picture, the planet and the enviroment where we all live. Think about what you're investing in, and not just the money you will make. It is also very very likely they will go backrupt as they still haven't fixed the current leak, and they haven't even hardly begun to clean up the mess it is still making. It's going to take billions of dollars to fix eveything, and it's going to take a long time. It could be 20-30 years before you see any kind of money being made on your shares (shares take time in a successful company to grow, and that's in a currently successful company not a failing one) and it may never happen at all. http://wallstreet.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2010/06/09/bp-fears-surge/ You should check out this link. Although the company does have a cashflow of some kind still, the billions they are cashing out is not leaving much profit. Stock is plummiting and not showing any signs of coming up. And, I've also heard not only from this link but from other sources as well that it is a possibility that political pressure, not money, may cause the company to fold. Personally, i wouldn't invest anything into BP. But, it's your money do what you want. Answered By: Elle - 6/17/2010

It's NOT British Petroleum!!!! It's BP. To invest in BP you buy SHARES just like any other company. BP shares are traded in London on the London Stock Exchange (BP..L) about 374p each and also as ADRs (BP.NYSE) at about $31.71 (there are 6 BP shares in 1 ADR).You need to sign up with a stockbroker or try your Bank.

I love some of the hysterical answers you have been given - BP will go bankkrupt, the owners will retire (what - all the shareholders?) all the employees will leave for other oil companies (really?!) BP will not become an Enron, Lehman etc whilst it has a very strong balance sheet and amazing cashflow. This is £200 billion per year of revenues on the back of sales of oil - remembering that BP continues to pump and refine around the world. I love the assertion that 'companies will run away' from dealing with BP. What absolute rot. Do you think the major airlines that have contracts to buy aviation fuel from BP over several years are suddenly going to get supplied by someone else? Or lorry distribution firms that are contracted to buy the same? In answer to the question, it is easy to sign up with TD Waterhouse or Halifax Share Dealing. Halifax Share Dealing has a World Cup offer on which has discounted the share dealing price - today it is just £2.00 per trade. Good luck. Answered By: Klauss B - 6/17/2010

	How do I get a job with Dodgy work history and no experience? Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now?

For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating.
