Not sure ever posted but dated 18Mayhttp://masterinvestor.co.uk/author/zakmir/Barclays (BARC): Ultra Bullish Failed Gap FillIt would appear that on a fundamental front we have the challenger banks and the challenged banks of which Barclays is apparently in the forefront. But it would appear that from a charting perspective the gloom and doom we have in terms of the sentiment here may be misplaced. This is because there has been a very strong pair of buy signals on a technical basis. The first is the overall inverted head & shoulders pattern which has been in place since the middle of February when the left shoulder was formed. Elsewhere, we have the highlight which is the aftermath of a gap to the upside last month. The floor of the gap lies at 156.75p, whereas the low for May to date has been 157.85p, a little higher but significant. This is known as a failed gap fill and is one of the strongest charting configurations in the book. Normally, a stock or market would seek out and find the floor of a gap as new support ahead of a new leg to the downside. In this case, despite rather weak stock market conditions the stock was unable to dig deep enough. This only happens in the strongest of setups, and allows us to assume that provided there is no end of day close back below the gap, we could be treated to significant upside. The favoured destination at this point is seen as being a retest of the April 182p intraday high. A weekly close back above this level suggests that the 200 day moving average at 208p could be the target 1-2 months after any April resistance clearance

Well I was going to agree with you diku, but decided that most PIs who were going to sell would mostly have done so yesterday as I suggested, so now, as Portside has stated, the volume and trades are likely to take this beyond the 160-180p range this time.

Still expecting some bumps due to Brexit - let's not go there, eh?! - but the big driver is the Fed for now and thankfully so as financial longs must benefit. No doubt something daft in the G7 finance minister meeting this weekend will cause a ripple now!

Bon weekend a tous... :)

Hope not but wouldn't be surprised if it closes around 171p again...power of controls at play...

[keifer derrin] 20/5/2016 10:49

I've been on the fence about how I will vote, but am erring on to staying in. So I watched this last night, which I found it very biased for a brexit...or maybe paxman is just a typical grumpy old man :-) (which I must add I am :-) )

Although I found it negative, it did actually persuade my opinion and I will be voting for staying in.

In the programme it talks about a lot some laws which have been introduced by the UK Parliament come because we are members of WTO, ICJ. Also laws were changed or introduced due to trade deals we made with other countries.

The programme also pointed out that other euro countries, who are outside of the EU, that want access to the EU have had to accept freedom of movement. They have to accept any new legislation coming from the EU, they also still have pay into the EU but no input into it and have to just accept it. Also it points out that they do actually get a worse deal than actually being in it and if we the UK thinks it will get a better deal being outside of the EU then we are wrong.

I'm not saying I like the EU, but I would rather we fight from within. There does seem to be a very anti EU movement at the moment and this may well help to stop more stupid bureaucracy coming from the EU.

Another item that brexit people moan about, well Michael Gove mentioned, was there was legislation about standardising oven gloves and blow torches, which might seem a bit extreme. But things become cheaper if everything is the same and cut down on waste. How many adapters do you have for your phones, laptops etc etc. Just imagine if they made a EU standard and that we could use one adapter for all our phones etc etc...

Although one thing I would get rid of is the EU Commission. I had no idea what it did until the programme and found it very enlightening. It appears that they start the laws and the EU Parliament put details together, based on what the Commissioners want and the EU Ministers vote for it. Whereas Parliament and Ministers are voted democratically the EU Commissioners aren't :-(.

times today ,

why is the eu quite on the Greece debt and will not speak about their debt till after the uk vote

read the times . Greece could be kicked out they are in more debt now than 5 years ago

[capeview] 20/5/2016 10:24

Party, you could always get 25 friends together, use that 25k, and they get a little return from it if it wins, and lose nothing if it loses because you front the cost.

[portside1] 20/5/2016 10:21

Ladbrokes will not take big bets over 1k I would love to put 25k on out they will not take the bet

[capeview] 20/5/2016 10:18

Diku, I agree. I just look at all the money going over there and think, where the bloody hell do all these billions go? Let's be honest, it's not like they are running police services, maintaining roads, health service, education. It's more like to keep themselves all in a job at the expense of the general public.

I'm not paying my way just so they can live the life of Riley. Most of them were too stupid to do a good job then. And Noel kinnock, he was bloody useless and where did he end up, in Europe.

I've been feeling the need to leave for a long time, and the amount of time it took the governments, not just conservatives but labour as well to give the public there right to vote on this matter just stinks of underhand business deals and there own self centred needs.

[alphorn] 20/5/2016 09:57

W - you must have some heavy bets against the bookies on your views. If you are correct the bookies will lose big time, which, of course, may be the case.

[whitestone] 20/5/2016 09:50

Diku agreed.

I’ll be voting to leave and indeed the majority of people I discuss the matter with are of similar mind. I consider the likes of Wilson, Heath et al seriously misled us back in 1975 and Cameron and is seeking to do the same again.

Incidentally, also worth watching is the Spectator Brexit Debate and particularly

[diku] 20/5/2016 09:46

capeview...its a gravy train for the elite...

[capeview] 20/5/2016 09:34

So Diku, are you saying the EU as its run is good or bad?

[diku] 20/5/2016 09:27

whitestone....watched that movie of post 117130...as one of the contributors in the movie mentioned: Power Without Accountability...

I think most joe public have a very very basic understanding or in most cases non at all of how the EU is set up or how it works...and the joe public will be voting on the basis of the strong voices/arguments voiced by the Ins/Out camps...

[capeview] 20/5/2016 08:50

Yes, far more sophisticated. Greece nearly bankrupt with huge bailouts, Italy not much better off, Spain possibly in trouble, Poland not great either and then we have the French who are always striking which causes constant disruption across the whole of Europe.

So how is it then that both Germany and Britain are the two biggest economies in Europe? This didn't come from us being part of the EU, and Germany turned it around before the EU even started by getting rid of the restrictions and regulations.

So who is more sophisticated again?

[portside1] 20/5/2016 08:13

last post on the eu

several of us sent e mails to the better in campaign with a question
we all got back we will reply within 3 days we are still waiting now two weeks so we all sent the same e mails still waiting

[rburtn] 20/5/2016 08:12

Some extremely naive and ignorant people on this thread. If anyone believes the business and political elite are going to stop taking out more than they earn from the UK economy simply by pulling out of the EU they are deluding themselves. They will simply have to look for another scapegoat for our lamentable condition as a society.
What did the motley bunch of scoundrels seeking exit do about the 10's of millions of immigrants from regions over which we are supposed to have control - not to mention those millions out there with familial rights to residency. Closed the coastguard leaving it to pensioner-volunteers! Reduced border and customs staff!
As for our feudal system of governance - hereditary head of state, unelected upper house, parliament in which 12m votes get 1 seat and 30m get 200! That's what the Brexiters fear, their control of this abominable version of democracy being influenced by a far more sophisticated set of societies to which we can only dream.
The worst of all worlds awaits, we get beaten hands down by the Germans already in that wider world from which the Brexiters are promising so much and that will only change by collapsing our currency or depressing wages even further.
We are beset by scoundrels on all sides but none worse than the snake oil salesmen of Brexit.

[careful] 20/5/2016 08:04

there are according to Portside, 56,000 eurocrats to handle the affairs of 550m Europeans.

The British civil service employees 439,000 to handle 60m.
you are all being conned, the real paper pushers are here.
