Bought my first £5k stake today , nice little yield at this level.

Not getting why these are so low as are other banks. Interest rate rises not rising? Brexit? China?

US and UK employment increasing.

This can't be dragged down like this
-------------------------------------
ELEMENTARY.....

The whole sector is down....based on the assumption that all banks in general
are not making money or losing money or profits are low or.....all rubbish.
Ftse is down because Dow Jones is down!
When the US markets sneeze, we, in the UK catch cold!

Barclays are doing very well!
I never said that, but responsible brokers like GS and other are saying that, Barclays are worth 320p!

It is a great opportunity to Buy now and sell at a very good profit in 3 or 6 months time!

2rocketman. I don't hold Barclays but I do have other banking shares. What is happening at the moment is just crazy. There is nothing to support falls of this magnitude. It seems like a case of sitting tight and waiting for normality to return - whenever that might be.

This can't be dragged down like this just on stakeholders selling and if there is something bad in the pipeline bad enough to cause this sort of mark down then surely the rumour mill would be going by now and all these brokers wouldn't be making fools of themselves by giving high share price targets? This just does not makes sense now!!

Banks are run for BANKERS and BAKERS of their loan books.

NOT FOR SHAREHOLDERS

The AUDITORs must laughing all the way to the BANK.

Savogi, BARCS slips past £1.55p, then anything goes.

[seball] 03/2/2016 13:48

Results in 4 weeks. Expecting a strong rise on run up as I expect them to be solid. We then have a dividend to look forward to. Good luck

[oggyrocks] 03/2/2016 12:02

Topped up here today at 167.60

This will be my last top up. Hopefully the selling will stop and the buying start with results in 4 weeks.

All reviews are positive for this share, so hoping they know more than me and this will start to rise soon.

Might fall further, but seems as good as anything at this price.

Good luck all.

A big, messy job' - partners weigh in on the challenges of breaking up the UK's largest banks

Some of the UK's biggest banks are seeking teams of up to 60 magic circle lawyers as they grapple with new ringfencing regulations

BARCLAYS: China is about to announce the biggest monthly drop in FX reserves on record

[celeritas] 03/2/2016 10:33

Then you'll be looking for 90p, heard it many times before.
The trend will change, thats the time to be buying in not some price pulled out the air. The amount of times I've said I'll buy at a certain price only for the company to sail away well before it reaches my pessimistic level.
I'm not saying you are wrong about the price but equally it might never even reach 160p

[savogi] 03/2/2016 10:16

It might look attractive under 1.00...That is my target at the moment.

[ckafetz] 03/2/2016 10:13

I thought I was getting a good deal when I bought for £1.80!
