Barclays Share Discussion Threads

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.

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

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.

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

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!

[celeritas] 03/2/2016 10:08

There's some hellish ops coming up, the finance sector is so beaten up now it makes you wonder how much further stocks like barc have to drop.
And no I not interested in extreme pessimism some on here have, sensible arguments based on facts are always welcome.

I think Jes Staley is adequately paid. Seem to recall he invest £10m at 230 - by my reckoning he is down £2.8m That's even more than I have lost.

I am not impressed by Halligan either. For a large part of the last decade he had been warning about inflation being the danger. Couldn't have been more wrong on that point given our long term deflationary environment.
