Cannot wait for the next 'after the fact' post by crystalblue. Your homespun virtual portfolio must be blue all over showing millions in profit.

I don't think anybody with common sense on this board needs to know details of your trades every 10 minutes. After the fact ofcourse!

U.S. Planning to Reveal Data on Health of Top Banks




it seems Obama is keen to restore the US banking sector, this news will have a very positive effect on the global banking sector. (IMHO)

i think it's a bit unwise to short barc at 50p and rbs at 10p. even if they are going bankcrupt eventually, their prices were so depressed that there would be a strong rebound. standard chartered is poised for a good short now. i rarely short, statistics are that i lose more money than make money from shorting.

whilst we wait for US to open, any views on share price movement if/when Barclays confirm BGI sell talk?

i tell you this. soverign bonds are supposed to be the least riskiest and hence should be paid the least return. but in the past 12 to 16 months, it was these government bonds which retruned fantastic double digit percent, while other benchmarks are down double digits. this is a serious anamoly. what it's telling me is bond prices are terribly mis-priced to the extreme.
now the govt funded deficits (directly) by printing money and buying its own bonds. and they keep the interest rates artificially low. what is more the govt controlled commercial banks and they are obliged buyers of their own soverign bonds. it's such a fantasy and it seems a smart move.
BUT when the economy recovers, they will have to reverse qe by reselling those bonds. the supply of bonds will be so bloated that it will push up yields, and they either abolish central banks or raise interest rates sky high. so the central banks have two choices. either let hyperinflation happen or tighten govt spending and raise interest rates. both options will be extremely nasty.
there is no way out, boys. that's why i am bearish soverign bonds, economy and the banks. let's see who is right.
btw, i am talking about long term consequences. so bear in mind this.

madoff history demonstrates that recession end after 16mths, we are now at that point and market sentiment will probably drive this to effect. I agree that commodities will recover however see this happening after the banking sector, I wish you luck in your other investments however Barclays is heading over 200p short term and midterm (Q409) we will see nearer 300p
