Barclays Share Discussion Threads

Trial set for January 2019 against the bank and 4 previous executives beggers belief..
why such a delay nearly 10 years from the alledged event. Surely the case should be quite simple to process...did the 4/5 know what they were doing or not? If the $3 billion loan specify that the funds "could not be used to buy Barclays shares" as a condition then either the agreement said that or it did not. I feel angry but probably not alone.....

Appalled to see press this weekend reporting that the cancer of Barclays staff is to further metastasise to Dublin.

I would implore the celtic people not to inhale the Barclays cigarette; it may look appealing though rank fumes of toxic fraud and criminality allegations might well compromise vital organs. That the Liffey runs putrid.

We British, the original host, are punch drunk from a fiscal raping and pillaging as allegedly Barclays rode rough shod over our own core values. Libor. Traders. Qatar. Staley. A blue bird depositing droppings of filth over our once true legacy.

Investors of standing, of fibre, of integrity must approach long positions and respond, in my view. We march for profit under the twin flags of morality and truth. Resist criminality wherever you might find it. As is right and proper to do so.

Vincit omnia veritas

I fail to see the benefits of buying UK steel if its more expensive (or the wrong type etc). It would mean

1) As taxpayers we have to pay more
2) last time I looked uk steel was Indian owned, do we just want to give taxpayers money to them? Same with cars etc
3) we renationalise our industries and return to the inefficient ways of the 70s.

I just can't wait for these free trade deals with India, china and the Far East the brexiteers are going on about. These low cost economies are going to buy nothing from us, and dump their cheap goods. We are heading for trouble

Eurozone faces doom no matter how hard France and Germany try to save it, warns top investment bank

The eurozone is likely to break up no matter how hard France and Germany try to save it, one of the world’s biggest investment banks is warning.

A senior employee at Bank of America Merrill Lynch says the single currency bloc has been gradually falling apart ever since it was formed almost 20 years ago.

#654. Did you mean USA?

The UK is too small to only sell cars domestically.

[corpbull] 13/7/2017 22:08

Should follow the example set by Donald Trump, impose high levy on car imported from other countries, i.e. China, Malaysia to make them non competitive. Or they can set up the factories and manufacture them in UK.

Re. the above JLR tonight says that it will build its new sports utility vehicle – the Jaguar E-Pace – in Austria and China. The company is also building a plant in Slovakia to manufacture future generations of Land Rovers.
Why not the UK?

Johnwise - to add to those agreements there are of course all the tax free holidays of certain offshore production areas.
There is a risk of a race to the bottom when it comes to attracting production centres.
I think that we would agree that there needs to be a mucher deeper thought process before buying 'foreign' (eg the steel), foreign manufactured cars for the UK state services to name two.

Alphorn,

President Clinton singed the GATT agreement which devastated UK/Western economy's The agreement allowed third world country's with cheap labour and little employment regulations to import goods to the West without the previous import tariffs..Consequently factory's in Europe and the US closed and moved off shore, Europe economy's have never recovered,have to print money to survive..
Sir James Goldsmith warned the Conservative Government of the day of the consequences of the GATT agreement, they ignored him..Video

Donald Trump: I'll take jobs from China, Mexico
Video

The Government should have intervened

Typical example
Fifteen years ago in the Sunday Times rich list had Dyson worth £500 Million, now he is worth £5 billion

Fifteen years ago..Dyson, the UK company which pioneered the "bagless" vacuum cleaner, is set to move its manufacturing to the Far East with the loss of about 800 jobs

[alphorn] 13/7/2017 16:12

Johnwise - that just shows the nonsense of your last two links and your comments:

1. Britain should have done this years ago...... (Protectionism)
2. Built mainly with SWEDISH steel in blow to British workers......

UK managers are too greedy to block (1) and not patriotic to do (2).

Sad, but true.


edit: thx btw for your cut & pastes - always interesting.

[johnwise] 13/7/2017 15:58

And the biggest dumper of steel in the UK market? Communist China. Say thank you to the conservatives for rebuilding of China

Royal Navy's new £8billion warships will be built mainly with SWEDISH steel in blow to British workers

Barclays PLC (SGG) shares are moving today on volatility -0.88% or $-0.25 from the open. The NYSE listed company saw a recent bid of $28.23 and 98608 shares have traded hands in the session.

It is no secret that most investors have the best of intentions when diving into the equity markets. Making sound, informed decisions can help the investor make the most progress when dealing with the markets. Often times, investors may think they have everything in order, but they still come out on the losing end. Investors may need to figure out ways to keep emotion out of stock picking. Sometimes trading on emotions can lead to poor results. Making hasty decisions and not paying attention to the correct data can lead to poor performing portfolios in the long-term.

Taking a deeper look into the technical levels of Barclays PLC (SGG), we can see that the Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R currently sits at -53.12. The Williams %R oscillates in a range from 0 to -100. A reading between 0 and -20 would point to an overbought situation. A reading from -80 to -100 would signal an oversold situation. The Williams %R was developed by Larry Williams. This is a momentum indicator that is the inverse of the Fast Stochastic Oscillator.

Barclays PLC (SGG) currently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of -3.43. Active investors may choose to use this technical indicator as a stock evaluation tool. Used as a coincident indicator, the CCI reading above +100 would reflect strong price action which may signal an uptrend. On the flip side, a reading below -100 may signal a downtrend reflecting weak price action. Using the CCI as a leading indicator, technical analysts may use a +100 reading as an overbought signal and a -100 reading as an oversold indicator, suggesting a trend reversal.

The RSI, or Relative Strength Index, is a widely used technical momentum indicator that compares price movement over time. The RSI was created by J. Welles Wilder who was striving to measure whether or not a stock was overbought or oversold. The RSI may be useful for spotting abnormal price activity and volatility. The RSI oscillates on a scale from 0 to 100. The normal reading of a stock will fall in the range of 30 to 70. A reading over 70 would indicate that the stock is overbought, and possibly overvalued. A reading under 30 may indicate that the stock is oversold, and possibly undervalued. After a recent check, Barclays PLC’s 14-day RSI is currently at 42.94, the 7-day stands at 44.48, and the 3-day is sitting at 32.95.

Currently, the 14-day ADX for Barclays PLC (SGG) is sitting at 31.00. Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would support a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would identify a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would lead to an extremely strong trend. ADX is used to gauge trend strength but not trend direction. Traders often add the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to identify the direction of a trend.

JP Morgan are stating they will transfer hundreds, if not 1000s of jobs to the EU before brexit and perhaps more afterwards.

Trumps son looks about as honest as his dad. Even from x news says he's in a hole.

MPs are always telling lies and misleading us, they get away with it all the time.

[portside1] 10/7/2017 12:08

What are the legal implications of lying to a select committee?
Imprisonment or a substantial fine could theoretically be imposed as a punishment by parliament on anyone who told lies in evidence to a select committee. Misleading MPs is deemed to amount to a "contempt of the house" in the same way that refusing to answer a summons to appear before a committee is reported to the Commons. The offender would be summoned to the bar of the house.

so why are certain people not been charged it makes a mockery of tax payers money it appears if you are rich or worked for gov you a above the uk law
