On a day where Soco has gone up 6.2% (on tiddly volume), Tullow 5.5% and Dana has gone down 0.8%, I thought a thread dedicated to comparing this sort of company might prove interesting.
Ignoring Shell and BP and anything under a billion sterling market cap., these were the market caps in billions for the start of June - I will try to remember to update the header in future months:
| company | 01/06/09 | 02/09/09 |
| BG | 38.8 | 33.7 |
| Tullow | 8.9 | 8.2 |
| Cairn | 3.4 | 3.4 |
| Addax | 3.2 | taken over @ 4.6 |
| Dragon | 1.7 | 1.9 |
| Premier | 1.3 | 0.9 |
| Heritage | 1.3 | 1.3 |
| Dana | 1.2 | 1.2 |
| Venture | 1.2 | taken over @ 1.3 |
| Soco | 1.0 | 0.9 |
Here is an advfn comparitive price chart for people to play with - amazingly different results of course from changing the time period:
<September edit>
updated table above. After a couple of down days we seem to be pretty much back to the start of June - apart from Addax holders of course!
