BP Ain't American


What's with all the comments about BP being 'American' or having 'american shareholders'? The majority of BP shares are held by Brits and while there are significant number of shares held by US citizens the same can be said of many American companies (in that they are either foreign owned or have a foreign controlling interest)

Sorry, snark not aimed at you.

No, David. No one is happy in a poodle skirt and a sweater set.

38% of BP shares were held by American investors, 36% by British investors, and 14% by the rest of Europe with the remaining shares held by investors from other countries

Lol, completely wrong, the controlling interest is held by the Brits and will always be held by them.
