Thursday ain't a holiday, but since we rather have 5 days back to back, most take the day off (if the workplace allows it). Public services, grocery stores and all that is up on friday though. And the stock exchange. But don't be alarmed if the volume aint through the roof, since people is too lazy to work, they might be too lazy to keep an eye on their money.
But I imagine there will be quite a few from the QEC-camp checking in throughout the day, considering both the extra well that Talisman is going to drill, and that they have spuded Fortierville. And DAX-index did an impressive 3.55% today, so OSE is sure to hit strong after that. Even though the single most important trigger for OSE are currently a bit in the red, the Brent oil, but DAX's showoff should more then outweight that.
The funny thing is, the norwegian forums have had 9783 posts about how there will be _0_ news until august, so everyone should sell and buy again down at 0.5-1CAD in july. Needless to say, the posters were "Guest"'s.
