Falkland Island Oil explorers blast down through guaranteed stops

The Falkland Island drillers (Desire Petroleum, Falkland Island and Gas, Rockhopper and Borders and Southern) are sharply down this morning on Desire's Liz news. The shares were in auction (a period of time when there is no automatic execution on an order book and where Orders that are allowed during auctions may be entered during this period) but are now in full trading. Desire is down 63% at 36p, Rochopper is down 40% at 31p, Falklands Oil and Gas is down 15% at 115p. Fortunately the decision to move into CFDs with guaranteed stops ws sensible with all stops being triggered at the open. Today just shows the potential volatility of oil explorers on a "no show". Feeling a little bruised this morning. Ouch!!
