The problem with BARC is that nobody likes it, and too many are out to get it.

[portside1] 23/2/2017 15:04

nearly 3m more buys than sells so must be a big seller

[andrewbaker] 23/2/2017 15:01

Barclays and Lloyds are good buys going forward , IMHO. I don't understand the drop today in BARC, and view it as an opportunity to buy or add.

[ak47high] 23/2/2017 14:53

@keifer I'm holding a pile of Lloy from 32p. Split my money back then in favour of Barc 70/30. Brain dead choice that was. 187p average here.

[jdb2005] 23/2/2017 14:52

Fear factor has been employed by analysts today but the results show that BARC is well managed and carrying reforms to improve their returns for shareholders.

Sit tight if you can.

No doubt cmc & other spreadbet companies are betting against their customers causing the shares to drift back.

Surely the potential fine is a "known unknown" though? Its not as if that was expected to have been settled today

Back in the UK, and shares in Barclays have lost all their early gains and are now down more than 3%, making them one of the biggest fallers in the FTSE 100.

The turnaround in sentiment comes as analysts re-assess the prospect of further fines for the bank, which has taken the shine off the news that it had tripled full year profits. Michael Hewson at CMC Markets said:

The bank has yet to settle with US authorities after rejecting an offer to settle a mis-selling claim for mortgage backed securities at the end of last year, which could provide a sting in the tail later this year. This is because Deutsche and Credit Suisse settled for $7.2bn and $5.3bn respectively, which might suggest that any potential future settlement is likely to be of a similarly high amount.

[keifer derrin] 23/2/2017 13:46

reading latest articles - it's the lack of information regarding litigation from US justice department and regarding the UK looking into the Qatar - they are saying it could be expensive without giving details....
