Barclays Share Discussion Threads

[nick rubens] 04/2/2016 13:53

Are Barclays particularly exposed to lending to oilers which are going bust?
Is this what the fear is and hence share price fall?

Anyone looked into why the share price fall and in particular shouldn't BARC be giving a 'know no reason of' RNS or does that only apply to microcaps on AIM?

Informant,

I think your find the housing market did crash in 2008. I remember the share prices of the house builders went through the floor as the value of the land banks etc was slashed! Myself and friends property prices plunged but I also remember doing very nicely out of Taylor wimpey & Barratt Developments.

When the housing market does crash they are the ones to be buying.

LOL...Yes, the life goes on and nobody suggested that the world is ending...

You don't need a Crystal ball to see the writing on the wall..But sadly those blind investors couldn't even bother to see the writing on the wall.. instead, they took government statistics at face value and the manipulated bull market as legitimate and refused to acknowledge the fundamentals,and fake valuations.


But the truth is that he real "growth" stopped decades ago,and the FED and other central banks have done everything possible to prop up stocks and sugar coating the figures.. Despite all the QE (more than 8 trillions has been printed) and Zero interest rates,the results have been poor to say the least,and this is where policy makers on both sides of the Atlantic have failed miserably.

That's the reason the corporate earnings are down,while debt is on the rise.And that's the reason the global market is crashing down, because the system has check-mated itself.. Their policies are failing but they cannot think the alternative.

You are correct..I don't have the Crystal ball... so you can't borrow one..But if you manage to put your head up,you might be able to see the writing on the wall.

another shorter!
how do you know about rallying down?

Dow might rally to 17,000 and beyond.
This is election year and Obama wants another Democrat president to be elected
so H Clinton will have a chance in the elections.

FTSE might have another go at 7,000.

Oil production might be cut to push prices up.

So nothing new since the beginning of the world trade, history repeats itself.

....and Barclays will hit 300p and beyond.

The only thing you need to ask yourself...

Why I did not take the chance to BUY and make money when they go to 300p?
Will they? Remember was down to 50p and went to 300p a few years later.
Did anybody take notice?
Did they BUY?
If they did good luck to them and well done for doing it.

I rest my case....LOL......and good luck to all.

BHP biliton up 8%, Rio tinto up %7 Anglo American up 10%. Market rallying hard before next leg down

cs44,
If Savogi is correct in his/her prognostications of the looming financial Armageddon.
---------------------------------------------------------

Can you ask him if we can borrow the crystal ball,if he has one, to see the future too?

Anyone can make assumptions!
Many have said that is the end of the euro!
Many prophets of Doom have said about the world ending but at the end were rediculed.
Scaremongering benefits those who start them for their own means.
Ignore them and stick 2 fingers on them.

Life goes on and on!
So live and let live!

....and Barclays will be around or over £3 next year

House prices didn't crash in 2008. They just corrected by a small amount.

Credit Susssie Results


Full year pre-tax profits at its investment banking business were down 90 percent, global markets was down 59 percent and international wealth management was down 16 per cent. However, the bank’s Swiss division posted a 4 percent rise in pre-tax income.

WILL THIS HAPPEN TO BARC?

[cs44] 04/2/2016 08:57

If Savogi is correct in his/her prognostications of the looming financial Armageddon, then it won't matter whether you are short or long this particular share, as the market won't exist. There will be worldwide social unrest and the prospect of failed states like today's Syria where gangsters and warlords take over. Money is useless and the idea of property ownership a distant memory.

[2rocketman] 04/2/2016 08:46

Informant,

You were predicting house prices to continue to rise into the coming years just a couple of days ago now your saying a market crash on the scale of 2008 is inevitable and banks will need a bailout!

I think it's highly unlikely that those two scenarios will play out simultaneously!

They don't need the Arabs... They have "printing press"... but the question is, how much more they will be able to print, before the Bond market start crashing down?

[christh] 04/2/2016 08:25

Barclays are taking over TD Direct Investing (possible, as many bidders).

@Louiseaileen70
Credit Suisse shares down 8% after it reports first loss since 2008 in depths of crisis.
Bank shares slammed yesterday.

Writing's on the wall imo. Amazed my personal 165p target was hit as soon as yesterday (I had late March, maybe April in mind initially).

Negative interest rates like in Japan is bad for banks. News of other countries following suit is hurting banks. Also some banks in China could go bankrupt, like Lehman, could cause 2008 scenario. China's debt has gone from $9 trillion to $30 trillion. The Yaun currency is going to get hammered. Dump your shares or you will when these hit 10p. Bailout will be needed again --- will the Arabs help this time???

[steveglobal4] 04/2/2016 01:34

As I said earlier Dow will rise later and push Barc up, Dow certain went up, and has continued on futures,

Hopefully a 5 percent rise plus for Barc tomm.

[smurfy2001] 04/2/2016 00:07

Nick, l won't sell my stock, i'll re-invest the dividend.

[ckafetz] 03/2/2016 23:51

Stronger recovery on the Dow and Barclays NYSE still falls :-(

[nick9013] 03/2/2016 23:03

In a weeks time on Thursday the 11th @13.30 uk time BIG news is coming.... and it's not good I'm afraid. Be aware of this. Avoid like you would a group of asylum seekers looking at your daughter. Do NOT buy. Sell your stock

[savogi] 03/2/2016 22:59

The world is on fire and the DOW is still above 16000!..Why so high? Because the printing presses can never stop,but must run ever faster just to stay in place.

Furthermore, I believe the Dow is heading all the way below 10,000. I know most investors don't want to hear it, but my advice is: avoid big losses,and take advantage of opportunities later,at the bottom.

But sadly in my experience many investors will either choose to stay in denial till it's too late...

John you seem a wise person. Just what is going on with the markets?

smurfy

I have been posting here for the last 6 months and explained in details why the market is overvalued by as much as 60% to 70%, and why the world is heading into an unprecedented monetary deflation... Sadly my good advice fell on deaf ears.


I am afraid what we are experiencing today is a direct result of printing press and fraud in the financial system today. In my opinion the financial markets would never have approached today's absurd levels of over-valuation.

As I have posted here many times before,the economic collapse is not a singular event,it is a process. The world economy has been in the process of collapse since 2008 and it never left that path. Those blind investors took government statistics at face value and the manipulated bull market as legitimate and refused to acknowledge the fundamentals. Now, with markets recently suffering one of the greatest free falls since the 2008/2009 crash,they are witnessing the folly of their assumptions.

Huge swing over in Yankee land. Bodes well for a bounce tomorrow.

Barclays Plc agreed to transfer a portfolio of derivatives contracts to JPMorgan Chase & Co., as the U.K.’s second-largest bank speeds up the sale of unwanted assets to reduce its capital requirements.
