put it this way, if barc pushes 1.80 again, I'm dumping as it looks to settle around the 172-173, then buy back in before the Q1 results get priced in, otherwise hold.

Wilba - perhaps someone was carrying a folder with the details on show - so they decided they had better announce it today ! !

Change12,

Up on rumour, down on fact.

This looks pretty solid at 173ish, doesn't appear to be the normal panic set in. Given the whole market is up and the Dow flying, Nikkie flew last night, we are unlikely to see any major drop. So on that basis I see it as a good hold. Barclays now looking even stronger from here on. So although you might see a few pence off it from the end of week profits, I think the only way is up from here.

Monty,

I thought you said your source said this deal wouldnt be announced till Tuesday?

[change12] 09/4/2009 14:40

this is heading south next week as there is no more news out for Barc...I think its time to bailout for a few days and sit on the side lines...

Any views...

All these trillions of dollars floating around and lost by the banks, has been spent on consumer goods, mostly chinese, by american trailer trash. Oh and a few english pounds went the same way.

Bet this rises before the end of the trading day, always does!

Similar profit taking on my other stocks on the spike produced by Fargo good news.

Buywell2, we are in a depression.

You should be able to pick these up next week in the low 150's.

Although I've closed my short it will almost certainly fall to 150, no news due now and hence little expectation.

Would rather be at cash for the Easter weekend and will be looking to long next week.

Out of interest if $600 trillion has been invented and nicked- where is it now?

Whoever created the derivatives and sold them must have the dosh. Time for a visit fom the boys..... unless they are the boys of course....

grouch
Lol, Barc up nearly 10% today, of course profit taking, once that is out the way today, Barc will continue rise next week, once deal is digested. Its good news.

i-share announcemet has had no impact on sp, all banks have spiked together. Reinforces view that it was already priced in and markets would only have reacted had the sale price been substantially different the the widely touted £3bn.

[capricious] 09/4/2009 14:03

markets priced in 10pts on the open, and then looks like the 10-15 point swing which has been the norm for a while... low volumes today, should see something happen around the close

[felixakulw] 09/4/2009 14:03
