Conman Whitby exposed in full.


It's a shocking tale of undeclared, unsecured loans made by Dave Whitby from the coffers of the then CEB AIM listed company, which recently rebranded to Andalas Energy & Power (LON: ADL). Whitby, who is the CEO of Corsair Petroleum, a private......

BARCLAYS PLC (BARC) showed a small gain and ended the day at 175 pence, which is an increase of 0.49 percent. The stock has thereby closed up 11 out of the past 14 days. The stock broke up through the resistance at 174 pence in a double bottom formation. This triggered a buy signal on increasing volume and a further increase to 202 pence within three months is indicated.

Barclays Africa Sees Bad Loans Rising as Economy Deteriorates

Barclays plans to sell down its 62 percent stake in the African unit

Sold my long this morning happy with a decent profit especially as a month ago it was looking rather dire when stock fell into the mid 140s, a classic rally this morning on not so great results only to see the share price marginally up at the close.
Like Portside am of on hols next week but to Portugal and don't want to be watching the share price but just chill.Will consider a new position when I get back,but might even hold off until the referendum is out of the way, although this could be a good opportunity to trade in what will be a volatile period.

What a dog

[oggyrocks] 27/4/2016 13:52

Think thats a good call to close the short.

Short term I see volatility in this share, but longer term I think that that its a good hold.

The news on the sale of Africa arm could be a good tick up, but think that Barclays is still not sure which way its heading. Still seems to be confusion about a clear strategy.

Short closed at 174p

Every profit helps whether big or small, it's just having the guts to do what you think is right at the right time for you.

Informant, a good plan

Always use tight stops

[swerves1] 27/4/2016 11:43

But you're in the money now, well done. What target price u plan to close at?

[swerves1] 27/4/2016 11:41

Informant, you're a brave man to short this at 1.80 I think!

[topicel] 27/4/2016 11:41

Usual volatility and profit taking by those who were in a couple of days ago. Anything around 180p gave some a churn of perhaps 7% in 48 hours so not to be sniffed at...but as ever the big boys will be playing both halves and buying more for their buck this p.m.

How much they want will be determined on Wall Street's anticipation to the upside on Janet Yellen's interest rate mood speech after we close. There is always a chance this will still pick up after lunch as bargain hunters seek out more shares for less dosh.

Dividend cuts talk, hence price down. Or it could be down to my massive short at 180p

[asagi] 27/4/2016 11:08

NTAV increased by 11p to 286p in just three months. The bank is profitable and dividend paying, albeit at a rubbish level.

I think that the shares are the wrong price today.
