OIP..........New name - brighter future

2magpies,

I don't hold any credence with those tipsters forcasts. Historically they are blowing in the wind and often with an agenda or vested interest in the positive. I do actually think the market is approaching the time when it will be fundamentally too high, after a good long run, although probably has a bit further to go before it falls, so we could see their predictions before the fall imho.

You are certainly correct about OIP, although without news and with a market correction sooner rather than later we would be back in the 2p's (even if it meant only having a Bid price of 2.75p). Hopefully we will have news immenently to squash this possibility.

I will get a hold of the finacial experts reasons late next week and relay them here if anyone is interested. I rank most of the year end forecasts in the press comparable to estate agents forecasts, who will of course talk things up, whenever they get a chance, but obviously can't ignore known negative facts when present, but do ignore what they can and of course totally correctly ignore hypotheticals. I believe it is all too likely that something will come along in 2006 to derail (at least for a time) this market. Particularly the USA market, and hence the rest of us.
