Barclays plc (LON:BARC) shares are tipped to advance with gains expected as long as the pivot point at 249p remains unbroken.

Initial targets on BARC are set at 285 and then 292 in extension as the share price is forecast to maintain an upward-orientate trend.

The legal basis on which all potential further bail-outs were dependent expires. As the eurogroup meeting declined to prolong the current programme further that means that at the time of the proposed referendum, there is no contract in place that the Greek authorities could then accept or decline (i.e. technically, there is nothing to vote upon). Furthermore, the European side will find it difficult to then pay out any funds even if the referendum went in favour of any further bail-out. In that case, a completely new contract would have to be drawn up that would then have to be passed by all relevant member states’ parliaments

Why should you be surprised? .........bit like Hull defaulting?

It appears that my sarcasm may have back fired on me ??
However, my bewilderment at the reaction, or rather lack of reaction, to the unfolding drama ??..crises in Greece remains ???

[smartypants] 29/6/2015 10:56

astol..thank you for your comments/reply
I was unaware that Paddy Power were a force in the financial markets and that they were the go-to source for investment information ?

IMO likely that Greece will remain in the € and that the clown Tsipras will be ousted.

[astol] 29/6/2015 10:01

smrtypants- not really-nobody avoiding the situation but measures are in place to avoid contagion and belief that the Greek people will agree to stay with the Euro-Tsipras likely to be ousted or if he wants to stay in government will have to ensure the the austerity measures are actioned and agreed by parliament.
As regards Barc- they have little exposure to Greece and as advised contagion to other euro countries namely Spain, Portugal and Italy specifically is not going to happen.
Hot off the press-PADDY POWER odds favour Greece to stay in the euro!!!!

Mind boggling that every one is ignoring the actual situation and buying in to the belief that every thing will be fine in a few days time..there is it seems nothing to be worried about nothing to be cautious over, no avoidance of any further risk......Mind boggling.!

cmc markets on Bloomberg saying see the dip today as a buying opportunity and the markets are sanguine.

[smartypants] 29/6/2015 09:16

Yes .. Blue finish..
The Yanks will react very positivly when they kick off later, they love a bit of turmoil in the markets
What a con..LLOY and RBS now down less than 2%...just a normal trading day swing..??
All will be forgotten by tomorrow

[astol] 29/6/2015 09:15

samartin- I thought it would be about 259/260p-seems to have settled circa 265p.
FTSE of its lows and Dax the Dax was down some 600 early doors.Gut feel is maybe a close 5p down at 267p unless some positive news comes out before the close.

RJCDC - don't think so. More to come in the afternoon, when US opens.

The EU's dwindling importance to UK trade in three charts

While the EU remains the largest single market for British exports, its declining share of global GDP has reduced its significance

[rjcdc] 29/6/2015 09:07

Blue finish,,,,

[samartin] 29/6/2015 09:03

Well it could have been a lot worse I was expecting share price to fall into the 250's

[smartypants] 29/6/2015 08:45

BARC will be back in the blue by lunch time...???

Several Italian banks failed to start trading on Monday as fears over a Greek debt default induced many investors to shed peripheral stocks, including Italian, with banks suffering the most.
Sales orders on Italian stocks, in particular financial stocks, piled up before the market opening. At the start, the sales orders were so numerous that the system couldn't manage to process them, something that often happens when specific news causes a sell-off on a stock.
Theoretical prices for Italian banks--the prices at which they would have started trading--hovered around losses of 8% to 10% at the beginning of the trading session.

Greek situation is like someone having a graze on an arm and going to the A & E. When you see the pics of people walking in Greece-they look pretty chilled :-)so chill all will be ok

[smartypants] 29/6/2015 08:34

Greek banks closed for a week..stock market closed...euro tumbling..stocks dropping..uncertainty.
ahhhh....no problem, all been planned for..
Every one knew a deal would be struck by open Monday..it was always going to happen..the market had it covered..there is no chance that Greek people will vote to reject the offer and leave the euro is there...that could never happen...so every thing in the financial world is hunky dory....???

[astol] 29/6/2015 08:28

keifer derrin-nice move-you got it bang on

[smartypants] 29/6/2015 08:25

there see..what is all the panic about..?
Only off 2.5% ish..thats only 10 days gains..
See not as bad as scare mongers were suggesting..every thing will be fine,
BARC share price recovering...
NOT

[astol] 29/6/2015 08:25

Barc has been very resilient of late what with all the volatility-trading in the 260-273p range.The Greek issue is totally overblown as if the whole world is gonna collapse-for sure markets don't like uncertainty but see Barc continuing its sesilience any dip is a buying opp-confident that they will recover today to 267/268p
