ST's BP Rantings

[Meister]

I can imagine BP will be increasing its dividends in order to pay out as much to shareholders before it goes bankrupt.

I just filled up my tank with BP gas. I'm helping them fund the clean up on your shores, spider.

You're only helping them pay out more dividends to their shareholders and you're providing aid and comfort to the biggest environmental corporate enemy this nation has ever faced.

They employ a lot of people that need to eat and raise families. I'm helping them out, too.
I think I might be looking to buy some stock if it goes down a little more. Kind of like buying a straw hat in the winter, it's a good deal. There's going to be a big upside to the stock when things turn around. I did the same with Phillip Morris under Clinton. Bought the stock when it was at 22.00 a share, and made a nice profit which helped me retire at an early age. These kind of opportunities don't come along often, and you might want to invest in the company and get your piece of the pie too.
Two years from now I don't want to say I told you so, when you didn't jump on the stock when I did.

Same here...

Full tank of BP Ultimate...

I've been going to them for years and know the guys there well... Best price around the area too...

How does it feel to supply aid and comfort to the enemy?

How does it feel to be a fuckstain?

The oil companies that you would move your business to by boycotting BP will need to hire those people to keep up with the increases business.

Please please buy as much as possible!!!!

They aren't the enemy, the regulators are the enemy for not doing thier jobs.

I had no idea you were such a raving communist.

In the U.S. private industry is ultimately responsible for ensuring the safety of their own operations.


By your moronic logic, the police are responsible for every crime they fail to prevent.

No, I'm saying if the regulators had done their job, this probably wouldn't have happened. What are we paying them for? Porn?

This thread is awesome!

What should the regulators have done differently?

We've had the conservative Wall Street Journal writing various articles lately about how the oil industry co-opted MMS, and how BP had indications that there may be problems in the future but chose not to do anything.

BP debt rating is cut as gulf oil leak costs mount

BP debt rating is cut as gulf oil leak costs mount - latimes.com

BP is becoming the new pariah of the oil industry and faces the possibility of having to sell assets if it can't show some success in the coming weeks at stemming the flow of crude into the Gulf of Mexico, Wall Street analysts and energy experts say.

Fitch cut the oil giant to AA from AA-plus, citing the potential for civil and criminal charges and saying "risks to both BP's business and financial profile continue to increase."

Moody's lowered BP to AA2 from AA1 and put it on review, which might lead to another downgrade. Moody's said costs related to the protracted oil leak will "weigh significantly" on BP's cash and "constrain its ability to focus on other key areas of the company's business."

Well, did you expect otherwise? It's not like losing tons of oil and this PR is good for business.

Why just have one oil spill at a time when you can have two!

With the Gulf Coast dying of oil poisoning, there's no space in the press for British Petroleum's latest spill, just this week: over 100,000 gallons, at its Alaska pipeline operation. A hundred thousand used to be a lot. Still is.

On Tuesday, Pump Station 9, at Delta Junction on the 800-mile pipeline, busted. Thousands of barrels began spewing an explosive cocktail of hydrocarbons after "procedures weren't properly implemented" by BP operators, say state inspectors "Procedures weren't properly implemented" is, it seems, BP's company motto.

Good job BP! Two spills at once, beautiful!

This is not just rubbing salt in the wound, it is pouring oil on troubled waters.

Dont worry. Its all just oil under the bridge for BP. Here today, oiled tomorrow. Gotta watch out for those slick business men because its not butter melting on their tongues.
