all looking positive, next leg over 200p this afternoon?

p.s. anyone know how to short Panmure?

I alerted the Mental Health Authorities about some of the Loonies on here and I believe they sent Teams out to round them up in coordinated Raids up & down the Country to keep them out of harms way.

any reason ?

[dodd5y] 15/4/2009 11:05

Blue yet again

why do people have such a thing about madoff with cash? His views on the general direction of markets tally with mine, downwards. His views on Barc dont tally with mine. But he gives his reasons.

The market is going down to around 3,250 within six months and Barc may decline a bit. But in the long run Barc is not going broke and will probably hit £5 within three years.

Time to drop to 168 ...208-40 = 168... got a good ring to it..then by summer vacation time , with the dow pushing 8600/9000 ...268 simple.

[incorrigible] 15/4/2009 10:25

hey madoff - are you the guy that made off with other people's cash?

[ravin146] 15/4/2009 10:13

you've just got to laugh...desperate people advertising their positions to encourage new buyers/ sellers....btaylor: any reason why they are 10p ...have a guess.

this boards should be news/chart related and not people related!

gd luck all

boys, i don't want to offend anybody. just want to make my points. ok. if you think its not to your taste, then don't take it. to be honesst, i'm telling what i judge to be true. not like monty who is speaking negative about barc because he wants the price down. and he suddenly changed his tune.

[aanilkumar] 15/4/2009 09:47

quite interesting that panmure article chillwill...

2 paragraphs that are amusing to read-

a/ "I'm of the view that Panmure always has been financially strong, but after awhile you realise that when everyone is saying 'guys you look like you have got quite a weak balance sheet', you realise that is slightly damaging perceptions and you need to do something," said Tim Linacre, chief executive of Panmure.
Panmure also took a £13.7m writedown on its US acquisition.

Looks like they are feeling the rub of the same coin that they used against barclays here!

b/ "We bought the US business in April 2007," said Mr Linacre.

"If you plot the graph of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, you'll see that's just the top of the market., We bought the company for equity which we issued at £1.81 a share. Our share price is now 34p so its quite right we've taken a goodwill write down."

crystalblue - 14 Apr'09 - 23:33 - 21513 of 21584

Barclays ADR closed £1.83 equivalent

Very happy to have put the 3rd set of profitable BARC shorts on today before the bell.

crystalblue - 15 Apr'09 - 09:58 - 21583 of 21594

Shorts back on @ 197 after closing 185.
=======================================================================

So Crystal, let me get this right, you put your short on before the close yesterday at about £1.80- £1.83. Today you state you closed your short at £1.85 and then later you state 'But with BARC the last few days I HAVE been spot on with timing'....

As I said earleir, we can all get things wrong but you do seem to have a certain knack for it.

[barkerman] 15/4/2009 09:46

Me personally no.

[rwlly] 15/4/2009 09:43

Nobody possitive on Rbs?

[capricious] 15/4/2009 09:41

hillbrown - why on earth have you put me on filter list, bit much I feel, since no one has ever mentioned filtering me ... i think you need to look back on the posts more carefully

[barkerman] 15/4/2009 09:37

Barc and Lloy are good value getting monies at 0% and charging 5-6% printing money i think they call it.imho.

[dope007] 15/4/2009 09:37

I think the bank debt offers the best value. But for the real big yields look at insurers debt. Some 20% ers in there!!!

[rwlly] 15/4/2009 09:30

Anybody out there who has any idea which banks share price is the best value at current levells?

[chillwill] 15/4/2009 09:21

Panmure raises £17m after plunging to a loss


^Sandy been putting in some overtime then lol

[abhai] 15/4/2009 09:21

Go on crystal ... pls tell you shorted again at 199 .......

[isis] 15/4/2009 09:19

It's amazing how a lone deranged spreadbetter thinks he can dictate the destiny of one of Britain's oldest and largest Banks on a free BB.

I think the clue lies in the word 'Deranged'. ;-))

[crystalblue] 15/4/2009 09:18

I don't claim to be a perfect trader, I've made many mistakes, big expensive ones as have we all.

But with BARC the last few days I HAVE been spot on with timing.

So I'm overdue for a trip over my crystal ball!
