Barclays – with profits strong, up 35% in Q3, and its investment business performing well (Barclays earns most of its investment banking revenues in the US and they have been boosted by the weaker pound), many see the group as a sound bet. Also made headlines for highlighting a new ATM scam in July.

Would like to see Barc around 275p within the first 2 weeks of Jan 2017 just before Trump takes office...it is doable if it gets recommendation tip as one of the share for 2017...it is also a potential takeover target...

Yes I clearly remember once upon a time Dow to FTSE ratio was 2:1...now it is getting close to 3:1...there is always an excuse/reason for the underperformance..be it internal or external...

Is there a gap on the chart near 204, any Chartists out there

DOW 20k next week and yet the FTSE daren't peak above 7k.

Use to track DOW at around 55% now it's nearly a third. London not what it was imo.

It is easy to get locked out as it usually starts much higher on a new day or a lot lower. Day trade might cop a a couple of grand here and there but I got caught out and had to buy back 5p higher at 216 after thinking it had finished at 212.

U.K. stocks closed at an almost six-week high on Friday, but gains on the benchmark FTSE 100 were limited as bank shares lost ground.
The FTSE 100 UKX, +0.33%  rose 0.3% to 6,954.21, ending at its highest level since Oct. 31. Friday’s gain also marked a fifth straight gain for the index, its longest winning streak since August.

Banks stocks were lower, however, Friday, with Barclays PLC BARC, -2.47% BCS, -2.63% down 2.5%, Lloyds Banking Group PLC LLOY, -1.64% LYG, -1.88%  off 1.6%, and Royal Bank of Scotland PLC RBS, -1.36% RBS, -2.23%  lower by 1.4%.
Most bank stocks had risen on Thursday after the European Central Bank said it would keep buying government bonds within the eurozone through December 2017. However, it scaled back the amount to 60 billion euros a month, starting in April. Currently, the ECB purchases €80 billion in bonds a month.

In other banking news Friday, in a memo obtained by the Financial Times, David Davis, tasked with helping the U.K. exit from the European Union, reiterated he won’t bow to pressure from London’s financial elites to put “transitional” Brexit arrangements in place to protect their business.
