Have to agree, I think a 20% reduction across the board at least! Once this housing bubble pops just like the Barc share price who knows where sentiment or lack of it will take it??

house prices are going to fall big time
tens of thousands to lose their jobs over the next 18 months could hit over 1m

There aren't that many houses on the market in Reading for example. With the minimum wage going up to 9.20p in future. I see house prices to continue to rise. Average will keep going up every year

I do believe places like London housing market are due a correction, as is happening to the Chinese stock market. Simply unaffordable for Londoners & foreign investors were previously typically Chinese and Russian? Supply and demand is problem re UK homes so places outside of London, ie Birmingham are still rising and rising. The budget slowed the gallop of landlords but with the likes of HSBC HQ moving there (Brum) there is typically the next place for investors. Interesting times.

2013 though..

I'm waiting for the housing market crash, some are still pumping it up but now many analysts are saying the bubble is ready to pop! Unrealistic house prices are not good for anyone just means there is loads more debt being racked up on mortgages. People are already struggling with the interest rate as it is those buying now will feel the pain in years to come imo..

Barc set to lose 40-65 points over the next 3 months

Ladies and Gentleman..... We are heading towards 1.00 a share.. We might even see 1.50 a share this week... This isn't just a line. The numbers are bigger this time. The Fed and other central banks have used up a lot of their firepower fighting the last crisis, sugar coating the figures, and many companies have managed to boost their PE/ratio through buyback shares...The Fed has consistently overstated economic strength. But the truth is that the situation is a lot worse than 2008... It has also resulted in misallocation of capital in ways that will only be fully discovered when the policy is reversed.

Do not be surprised when the S&P collapses in exactly the same way as the Shanghai stock exchange,and don't expect the panic monetary measures that will be enacted (more toilet paper) to prevent the outcome of this global equity Ponzi scheme.

HomeBarclays tipped to rise againBy Lee Wild | Fri, 22nd January 2016 - 11:14Share thisOne analyst at Investec Securities tips Barclays to rise again In September 2012, Barclays (BARC) had a new boss. Antony Jenkins, charged with rebuilding the bank's reputation after a series of damaging scandals, promised bold reforms. The City liked what it heard and the share price rocketed by almost three-quarters from 180p over the next eight months.There have been ups and downs since, but the bank's shares have been on a sharp downward trajectory since peaking at 289p in early August. And now, under new chief executive Jes Staley, thousands more investment banking jobs are going and the price is back at 180p.It was something predicted by both of Interactive Investor's contributing technical analysts. On 24 August, and with the price at 249p, John Burford said: "A break of the 230 area should result in a rapid decline - and the market would then head for the 50 pence area which could be reached within a year or so."Not long after, Alistair Strang, at Trends and Targets, warned that Barclays had "just ticked the first box in a series of arguments favouring an ultimate bottom of 151p".But Investec Securities remains a fan.Analyst Ian Gordon has had another look at the numbers following Thursday afternoon's brief update on the investment banking division. Shutting offices across Asia, the Americas and Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) will save money in the long-term, but investment bank income in 2015 will be "broadly flat" on the year before. We'll get that confirmed in results on 1 March."We see this as a clear positive, and early evidence that CEO Staley is willing to act with sufficient speed and precision to make >10% return on tangible equity (RoTE) in 2018 a reality," says Gordon. "As such, trading on just 0.6x 2016e tangible net asset value (tNAV), we 'promote' Barclays to be our preferred FTSE100 (UKX) bank. Buy."That's despite further revenue pressure. The top line declined in 2013 and 2014, and probably 2015, too. And forecast growth in 2016, helped by a strong dollar, may not survive Staley's "strategic acceleration", due to be unveiled on 1 March, admits Gordon.But he asks again whether Barclays is really this bad."We never shared chairman MacFarlane's vision of a revenue-led recovery. Rather, we see salvation in an expanded programme of absolute cost reduction firmly targeted on the investment bank which we think is, in time, likely to drive a material re-rating to recognise a structural improvement in earnings quality as well as delivery of acceptable returns."Gordon, who trims his price target by 10p to 260p, expects consensus earnings per share (EPS) estimates to fall back towards its own more conservative forecasts, either before or after the full-year results.His current expectation is for 2015 EPS of 7.5p, rising to 19.6p this year and 24.1p in 2017. That puts the shares on a forward price/earnings multiple of 9.2 times 2016 earnings. There's a near-4% yield.

Good evening gents. I don't mean to rub it in but traders were warned of the coming super storm. Max was one of many who put me down and humiliated me and my illuminati contact at the time. Check out my DAX short I predicted in September.SoroS is so on the money regards Europe, the storm is only just beginning, don't be blinded by narrow minded thinking or political correct thinking, it is not real and is no way to make money in this market, traders really are going to lose their shirt here !!! There are to many problems about to unfold you can not believe the gravity of, I have been enlightened.Ball Deap - 18 Sep 2015 - 19:19 - 113003 of 114219 - Matt, the DAX is going to get killed what with the migrant crisis amongst the other crisis such as Greece. I was told by a member of the illuminati that eu banks are dead in the water. I was kind enough to share my wisdom with you last week I hope some of you took my advice. Time is very short now, get the hell out or lose your shirt.

The housing market may be screwed, but this is not 2007! Looking at the BARC seven year chart I'm thinking a screaming buy!

[aussiedonnie] 25/1/2016 21:51

BARC is looking like losing it's £1.75p support at this rate. £1.50p trading range looks highly likely in the coming weeks imo.
