Expecting a 10% up move over the week

I don't think so, many investors are just looking for another '08 type event.

If the financials start to be bought, they could be some substantive gains over the next 3-6 months, anyway I am starting to buy dips in the sector.

Disappointing earnings numbers from a whole raft of companies....something doesn't feel right at all.... And if Deutsche Bank goes down, Barc will certainly feel the fallout. As will all banks.... However, they are talking about a share or bond buyback in an attempt to send a positive signal to investors about the state of the bank. ...... No smoke without fire perhaps??

Buy the dips on financials now, well that's what I am doing, I'm in accumulation mood!

Donald trump can't do anything if he gets voted. Same as Obama can't do anything. It's the people at the top who controls these puppets. They can.

[portside1] 10/2/2016 08:36

[seball] 10/2/2016 08:32

As I have said this is bottom. Buying now for results then dividend. Expect steady rise in share price on run up to results as this has been oversold.

The financials bucking the trend today .Commodities causing the sell off .

Obviously due to Yellens appearance later today .Could be a good sign .

i reminded myself of the highlights of the last barclays report on 30th september.

4% growth in Group adjusted profit before tax to £5,156m was achieved in the nine months to 30 September 2015, reflecting improvements in all Core operating businesses. Group adjusted return on average shareholders’ equity increased to 7.1% (2014: 6.3%)
 A 5% reduction in Group total adjusted operating expenses to £12,465m and a 4% reduction in operating expenses excluding costs to achieve to £11,926m were driven by savings from strategic cost programmes
 Profit before tax in the Core business improved 7% to £6,005m with higher income and lower costs. Combined with the increase in average allocated equity of £6bn to £47bn, this resulted in a return on average equity for the Core business of 10.5% (2014: 10.5%)
 Rundown of the Non-Core business continued, with risk weighted assets (RWAs) decreasing to £55bn (30 June 2015: £57bn). The announced sale of the Portuguese retail business in Q315, due to be completed in Q116, is expected to result in a further £1.7bn reduction in Non-Core RWAs. Period end allocated equity reduced to £9bn
 Group capital and leverage metrics remained above the 2016 targets, with the fully loaded common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio at 11.1% (30 June 2015: 11.1%) and the leverage ratio increasing to 4.2% (30 June 2015: 4.1%)
 Net tangible asset value per share increased to 289p (30 June 2015: 279p) driven by profit generated for the period and favourable reserve movements
 Statutory profit before tax increased 7% to £3,975m, which reflected net losses on adjusting items of £1,181m (2014: £1,217m)

since then the share price hs been on continuous downward trend but hard to see the wheels at barc have fallen off to such an extent since october.....and yes i appreciate that it could be due to overall sector concern.

sp is now at roughly 0.5pct of net tangible asset value....please.

[portside1] 10/2/2016 08:17

manics you are a good guy but take it from me barcs is rock solid
still have 71k in cash to add more

[manics] 10/2/2016 08:12

portside1: you'll remember I saved you a "fortune" (your words) when you tipped TRT to the community here and I managed to persuade you out of the position, justifiably calling the share a "dog" (my words).

I urge you now to immediately sell that BARC buy.
