Having held this 1000 sharesstock for about 2 years and nearly lost money on it, I think that the stock markets in the U.S. highly speculative as they are, are not receptive to European government owned companies. The Norwegioans are too damn honest for the U.S. stock market; they report even the most insignificant events which could possibly affect society or the environment. Petrobras does not do that (I held it for two years and sorry that I pulled out prematurely -- since then it has quadrupulled.
Only a very large strike by Statoil would garner it the interest that this market craves; since STO is in the Nowegian Shelf and dependent upon a dwindling supply of Oil and gas, I think it is unlikely that in the next year or so, it can outperform a recumbent market.
Completly agree with you. Norways is too passive and honest. What do you they have an average of more than $100,000 per capita
This is my 4th strongest green thumb pick. It seems like you have a hair trigger, the ladies must dislike you.
The honesty that gardena deplores is one reason I own STO. Also, with global warming, the Norwegians will have readier access to their oil deposits.
