Johnwise is very anti-BTL

BTL has become a gravy train that has sucked in punters looking for returns and no effort. I know a number of BTL landlords who have been bailed out of default by low rates, who have re-mortgaged to build a property house of cards. They are building the next financial crisis, where tax payers will have to bail out the lenders who will pay for the defaults. These landlords are pricing first time buyers out of the housing market..

If they keep printing ever more money. Remember that's
what Germany did in the 1930s and look what happened their. Has everyone got enough spare wheelbarrows handy? You may need them soon enough.

Barclays Capital continues to expect more QE to be announced by the ECB at its December meeting by extending the PSPP programme beyond September 2016 by 6-9 months (until March or June 2017), thereby keeping low rates for even longer.

Looks like the 'Dark Pool' case is nearing a conclusion:

Credit Suisse, Barclays Could Pay up to $150 Million to Settle ‘Dark Pool’ Claims

Credit Suisse Group AG and Barclays PLC are in discussions to pay as much as $150 million combined to end several investigations and one lawsuit alleging improprieties related to their “dark pools,” according to people familiar with the matter.

The settlement talks with the Securities and Exchange Commission and New York Attorney General could result in the two biggest penalties to date for alleged wrongdoing at bank-operated private-trading venues. The biggest thus far is the $20.3 million New York brokerage Investment Technology Group Inc. agreed to pay the SEC in August. ITG admitted wrongdoing in its case.

Regulators and other critics have accused dark pools of providing unfair advantages to professional traders at the expense of big institutions. The SEC and the New York Attorney General have conducted investigations of the pools overseen by Credit Suisse and Barclays, and in June 2014 the New York Attorney General filed a lawsuit against Barclays in New York State Supreme Court alleging it misled clients about the extent of high-frequency trading in its dark pool, called LX.

Barclays has denied it defrauded customers and fought to have the case dismissed, but in recent months the bank has entered negotiations with regulators and has signaled it would like to settle the case.

Under a planned agreement, Credit Suisse will pay $85 million to the SEC and the New York Attorney General, the people said. Regulators and Barclays have discussed terms where the bank would pay about $65 million to the SEC and New York Attorney General, but no deal has been agreed to yet and it may still fall apart, they said. The potential Barclays settlement is more tenuous, the people said, because the bank hasn’t fully agreed to regulators’ terms.

Increasing regulation, increasing capital requirements, increasing excuses fines (aka tax) is all leading to stifling growth and lame share price!!
