| #14 ChinaÂ’s Oilfinder General Sinopec confirmed it was in serious talk to buy RepsolÂ’s stake in YPF for $15B. So China will have 49% of a company that has big interests in Brazil, the Gulf of Mexico and Nigeria. Not to mention just across the ways in the Falklands or as Obama might say, the Maldives. Interesting. |

| #13 It'd be interesting, should they nationalize it, to see a real-life "Wyatt's Torch", ala Atlas Shrugged. |

| #12 And Spain has vowed to retaliate harshly. I would imagine they might strike a joint venture in the new oil field recently discovered around the Falkland Island. |

| #11 This is why the Kirchners want the Falklands (and perhaps also the Maldives) -- it's the oil, silly, and they want to do what Hugo did in Venezuela, which is to use the national oil company as a personal open-draw bank account. To do that you actually need to have oil, which the Falklands have. |

| #10 Ah, now I understand. A Spanish company owned a majority stake in it. |
