[portside1] 15/6/2017 11:07

dr has I have said I am happy to buy . they have in 6 months time to give out better news but I believe on the 28th july will give out good news

[dr biotech] 15/6/2017 10:53

Explain how they are going to suddenly go from being undercapitalised, to having excess capital in a year? My money is on an improved but disappointing dividend next year, but with a decent underlying performance.

[portside1] 15/6/2017 08:40

dr has usual down beat I am very happy to buy more and by next year will be proven correct , if you are concerned sell and move , simple I will be buying

[dr biotech] 15/6/2017 08:34

Total BS as usual portside. They are not paying a worthwhile dividend to raise capital. Why would they then give this away as a special?

[portside1] 15/6/2017 08:22

MANICS, they want to get us out only 6 months to go hold on and buy on dips
all is ok over the next 9 months we get 1p 2p then div goes up and perhaps a special div

What were all those large apparent buy trades (NT) at 206.95p today giving us such a strong buy/sell ratio??

[spoole5] 14/6/2017 16:50

Looks like we'll be in a 180-200p trading range soon.

[clond] 14/6/2017 16:48

Chart of the week: Barclays still in major downtrendBy John Burford | Mon, 12th June 2017 - 11:18Share thisChart of the week: Barclays still in major downtrendLast week I covered Lloyds (LLOY) and today it is the turn of Barclays (BARC), which I last analysed on November 28 last year when it was in a classic relief rally. This followed the massive 50% slide off the July 2014 high at 240p to the plunge low at around 120p in June last year on the 'surprise' Brexit vote.Since then, the chart is showing excellent Elliott wave patterns as well as superb tramline sets, which I will show because these are essential guides for me to set accurate price targets.For those wishing to use tramlines in their trading, this example should be of considerable help.To recall, this was the chart back in November:The wave 5 low last June at 120p was the final wash-out selling exhaustion phase and was the prelude to the relief rally in a small-scale A-B-C. Remember, after a five motive wave move down, I expect to see a three wave affair before the main downtrend resumes.For trading strategy, you may play this in several ways. Because the original decline was so large (50%), I expected the recovery to be at least a significant proportion of that span - and a 62% retrace would be normal. That sets a rally target in the 225p area at the least. You could, therefore, go long anywhere in the July-November period with the 225p target in mind for a likely exit.Or, if a longer-term player, you could have taken profits on shorts near the wave 5 low and waited for the market to rally to the 225p area, then look to short again as you would be aligning with the major trend. This is classic major-trend following discipline.Back in November, the market was already approaching that target and this is what I wrote:"With this evidence, odds are building that the counter-trend rally high is here or nearby. This morning, the lower wedge line has been breached, which is usually the first signal that the trend has changed."If this is correct, my immediate targets are the gaps on the way up in the 205p and then the 195p levels."What could spoil this picture? Certainly I would put it on hold if the market rallied into new highs above the 220p level. Failing that, there is a low-risk play here if you enter protective buy stops there."So did the market rally into new highs above the 220p level, which was my warning alert? Here is the updated daily chart.Yes, from the 213p level in November, the rally continued to the 240p level in December, and then entered a lengthy consolidation period between 240 and 220. But in that period, the market was finishing off the five waves in purple wave C!By March I had enough on the chart to draw in a lovely tramline pair and, when the market broke down beneath it in early April on a decent momentum divergence, that was not only a flash alert to short, but I could also set T3 in place.This supportive tramline is drawn parallel and equidistant and becomes a price target (which was almost touched on Friday). Remember my targets set back in November? One of them was the 205p area - also hit on Friday. Bingo!But that's not all - I have another tramline trio working:In December, as the market was breaking below the blue tramline, I could also draw a very respectable pink tramline pair that connects the lows and also the two highs.All trading in that period was contained in the trading channel between those pink tramlines which were significant lines of resistance (upper) and support (lower).Note that the lower blue and pink tramlines crossed over at precisely the time when the market was breaking down - a sure-fire signal the market wants to move lower. This tramline cross setup is about as close to a sure-thing as you can get in the markets.And when the market rallied to try to kiss the blue tramline, all it could manage was a kiss on the pink tramline before peeling away very hard down in a scalded cat bounce. That was pure Tramline Trading textbook.At the current 205p level, we have reached both T3 targets and my November target. Not bad for drawing a few lines on the chart, is it? No need to follow the company news, analyse the reports, read all the gurus and follow the politics. Everything is in the price and as I have repeatedly shown, markets have memories. That is why tramlines work!
