American Shares

[spotit3]

Does anyone out there know anything about an American company NATL OILWELL VARCO (NOV). I have discovered some shares of theirs and am just wondering would it be better to keep them or sell them. I know ablsolutely nothing about the company and vaguely remember buying them a few years ago on someone's advice. Any help greatly appreciated.

Never heard of them. They're apparently just over 10 years old and the share price has certainly taken off in the last 7 months.

Over active censor!!

Replace the asterisks with 'market' and 'watch'.

Hi James, Thanks for your answer even if the censor didn't like it!

Do you mean it should be http://bigcharts.market.com/charts/big.ch art? etc
Couldn't get anywebsite up for this but perhaps I have done something silly.

Answerbank thinks it has detected a rude word and so has replaced it with asterisks.

To get a 10 year chart simply copy the link into your address bar and replace the asterisks with "market" and "watch" as one word.

Or you could visit the investor's page

at the company's website

Thanks James, Think I'll hang on to them for a little while then. Maybe get my new kitchen sooner than expected if they don't suddenly crash!
