rbs flying

Enjoyed JB comments but surely all banks show that downward trend from their highs as the markets just let go and all financials fell and a line has to be drawn from the low of 47p to where we our now.

look at the toxic banks fly (RBS & LLOYDS)

[grahamite2] 03/4/2009 08:30

KKTJ, we have had a very good idea what nonfarms will be since Wednesday. The 'expected' figure should be revised to about 750k.

American Banks can buy our toxic assets and mark them up !

[gordonbrown] 03/4/2009 08:26

"Bailed-out banks eye toxic asset buys" this should send banking sector even higher?

diku I guess looking at the volume you could be right

hillbrown well done for holding BARC and turning a profit, you could always filter me if you disagree with my posts (never aim to offend though).

gordonbrown...it's the fundies that do the buying on behalf of clients/customers for this tax year...

[kktj] 03/4/2009 08:19

Keep an eye on the nonfarm payrolls - I think that will govern which way the market is going to finish for the week - good nos. should further boost the market, otherwise we'll see profit taking.

US 13:30: Mar Change in Nonfarm Payrolls, exp.: -660K
US 13:30: Mar Unemployment Rate, exp.: 8.5%
US 13:30: Mar Change in Manufact. Payrolls, exp.: -160K

Not stressed in the least pompous gordon.

Have now accumulated and paid for 75,000 Barc (same as my holding pre 2007)
and looking to add as the price rises. Barc will be early out of the depression.

General market is going to head down as the Razzle Dazzle Circus as finished and reality and national self interest resume normal service.

Added 50% to my gold holdings last night at 901 (long from 780) ready for the DOW/Footsie decline. I'm losing money on gilts but expecting recovery.

Gone long on oil in a small way.

Thanks for those welcoming words. I am pleased that I have the opportunity now to thank you, also, for providing these threads. I have read your words, almost from the start, (I didn't post my views in those days). It used to be so much more reasoned chatter. Perhaps that will return, when the big companies sort themselves out and become income investment opportunities once more.

I am as angry with bankers etc.. as anyone else. Especially when the companies share price reflects what a mess they have made of things.

I suspect the volatility, we were used to with AIM company shares, has brought along those who dealt in them. Keeping ones head, when all around are losing theirs is my motto.

I have to go now. I hope to read more of your words before long.

Have a great weekend.

diku I don't think a few PI spending £7k on Barclays will move the sp

sentiment is changing and large investor know BARC will pay divi

Force the last few of Equity Isa buyers to buy at higher levels...end of tax year...

[wenlynn] 03/4/2009 08:03

Expected.

[gordonbrown] 03/4/2009 08:01

Good post(s).
Welcome Jane.

where is Monty?...

[hillbrown] 03/4/2009 07:59

Janes Bond and Grahamite2, rational posters in a sea of dross.

[grahamite2] 03/4/2009 07:56

James Bond (how the hell did that great moniker remain untaken!), there's no argument they have fallen but our interest is the future is it not?

The banks got to the point of being priced for total systemic failure, not without reason. As that prospect has receded Barclays has started on a recovery, but only just started. I don't see it over £2 for a while yet but this could be a year to buy in May and go away.

I can easily see the government as the ultimate Ben Graham value investor making a titanic fortune from its intervention in a few years - except that the present govt will want some of the benefit and probably sell too soon from an investment point of view.

1 months of house price reports a trend does not make!

[diku] 03/4/2009 07:54

Nationwide and Halifax house price index tends to follow in sync...
