domestic oil prices.
...and teh answer is ..buy now.
I got an online quote of 25.2p a liter from www.boilerjuice.com, which was instantly met by Goff's (local supplier) and a bargain struck at 25p dead. Oil prices are hovering around $50 a barrel, so I took out some call options on $50 a barrel, and will be in the money at $51 a barrel. At $52 a barrel I will make about a third of the oil bill back, and if they rise any higher it will pay for the christmas tank :-) So buy now, armed with a good online quote. Stocks are high as its after the winter shortage, and before the summer petrol burn. Apparently. |

How much were you getting; Ive just used site for 1001 litres of 28sec
for domestic use, and its showing 32.1 inc 5% vat. I'll need some but am hoping warmer weather & OPEC increasing output will bring down..a little. I also keep checking http://www.scf.co.uk/index.php?p=ord...g=stadomoilord which is Soutehern based, which is similar. |

I played around on Boiler Juice and East Anglia is about 7p a litre
lower than here in Berkshire! This site may be useful; http://www.oilfiredup.com/directory/...gory.asp?id=11 |

I now advise those of a nervous dipostion to sit down and brace themselves. The result: 30.45p/l + VAT... This would be delivered in the North Pennines.

If a posting is perfectly clear, succinct, relevant and meaningful then everyone will read it. If your posting is complete gibberish then no-one will read it.

Surely you would dare put in an instruction that wasn't absolutely accurate? In the good old days when I had money I used to tape record instructions and have them read back to me too with the Stockbroker knowing I was recording them. pete Haha. You are right. I was day trading Ciena one day and meant to sell 50,000 dollars worth, but hit the wrong button and bought em instead. By the time I had got back to the dealing page, they had bounced, and I sold the 100k later in the day for 5k profit. C'mon. its all point and click these days, No typing skills required at all. Otherwsie the City would collapse. They can't spell either... |

Either that or you are not very good a predicting prices which must mean the rest of the dealers are pretty poor too;-) Maybe that is why I never made a fortune because I am clever!!!!! That was only the one occasion. Mostly I make very careful calculated decisions that lose me a hundred grand...and the odd cor blimey wot a stroke of luck that makes a hundred and ten... pete |
