monty...I thought you said you were buying at 175p?...

[mzj71852] 14/4/2009 12:00

any banks reporting today?

[montyhedge] 14/4/2009 11:54

Goldman is the best of the US banks, be carefull, JP Morgan still need the tarp money and may disappoint, Barc would be back to 175p on sentiment.

[bluesbeater] 14/4/2009 11:54

Good call, hope you succeed

[smurfy2001] 14/4/2009 11:53

More US banks to report this week, BARC could fly further.

Topped up.

Sold my long postion at 201p took profit, but would buy Barc back around 182p.

I think a lot of the Balance sheet squares off against eachother.

Not a lot of people know that. ;-))

[sr2day] 14/4/2009 11:52

barc has got ahead of itself,unsustainaible i guess.may even turn negative by close if figures in the usa is bad.

The most likely explanation for Barclays' big discount to
intrinsic value is the potential for massive losses from its
bulging balance sheet. While the rolling recession gathers
speed, Barclays appears to be embracing the old WW2
attitude - Keep Calm and Carry On.
While doubts persist over the ability of
reserves to absorb future losses, Barclays
share price will stay beneath its intrinsic
value.
When more capital is called for, existing investors are
getting severely diluted along the way. While there is no
correct level of core capital, unfortunately Barclays has
fallen below the norm. This creates a perception of
weakness that is hard to shake. Further share dilution or
asset sales are the key risks, but the discount to our
intrinsic value looks compelling.
On balance, Barclays are a speculative buy over the
medium term. The short term buying opportunity looks
to have passed. Traders should wait for a substantial
retreat before revisiting the shares.

get a life guys usual tree shaking before us pre market opens at 1pm, it will settle around 2 and then lets see where it goes

[thecroots] 14/4/2009 11:41

You could well be right monty

[montyhedge] 14/4/2009 11:38

[bobert] 14/4/2009 11:32

RGT up 26%. Didn't barc just up their stake in them to 11% a few days ago. Every little bit helps!

[chillwill] 14/4/2009 11:31

hmmm... US GDP expected to be poor for next couple of Q's (Just said on BBC News), not surprising, wonder if the markets can look past it (Like Obama is doing).

AGM soon, board up for re-election.

Do you think that the price will slide much or rise from here going into next week?
