[volsung] 17/4/2009 13:33

Doubled my stake here

smurfy2001 - no shame to take profits, its good for the share...soon will go over 250p

!

[smurfy2001] 17/4/2009 13:21

JayWood, yeah l had a 236p target which got hit and was hoping for a further push from there.

Shame we re-traced so much. At least l took a bit of profit from the contract l bought earlier but still hold the bulk of my CFD contracts.

I think america was expecting the citi news to be what it is

[abhai] 17/4/2009 13:15

Ouch ... financials now tanking .... waiting for another bounce in 15 mins????

[jaywood] 17/4/2009 13:15

smurfy - you said you were 4p away from a target........

[pennstreet] 17/4/2009 13:13

No movement on DOW ?

[smurfy2001] 17/4/2009 13:08

Blimey, quite surprised at the drop from 240p. Interesting to see what happens when the DOW opens, it's looking flat...

[qantas] 17/4/2009 13:07

Citi delivers profit surprise -- kind of
The troubled banking giant earned $1.6 billion in the first quarter, but still reported a per share loss due to an accounting change. Stock jumps ahead of bell.

[smurfy2001] 17/4/2009 13:05

JayWood, what do you mean?

I'm still holding the bulk of my CFD's although one my stops got kicked in for a buy l did at 225p today.

[deeppockets] 17/4/2009 13:05

I dread to think how much craig has made. lloy and Barc and RBS have all hit the targets he said they would 10 days ago - scary!

[olly1962] 17/4/2009 13:04

Brilliant, just said on CNBC this is a "Bad Day for the SHORTS" in America, can only help UK, blimey even RBS went to auction 33.7p. RESULT!!!!!

Keep going Financials this is a Fantastic ride!!!!!

[abhai] 17/4/2009 13:02

In again @ 226.42 ... only because I sold earlier at 238.47 ...... May double up if it drops another 10 points .... & I'm sure we'll have a pre-AGM rally next weel .... looking to get out at 250 ish!

[pennstreet] 17/4/2009 13:01

Looks like we may have peaked for the day - don't think we'll reach 2.50 today :o(
Should i sell now ???

[k38] 17/4/2009 13:00

The press is the real criminals (Peston, and the rest of them, where are they now ???) here.They been 'helping' the hedge funds to steel from (ord shareholders) people.

[wenlynn] 17/4/2009 12:58

Just got in !

"Just got out !"

Just popping out !

[jaywood] 17/4/2009 12:57

Hi smurfy2001 - are you OK with yours now?

[smurfy2001] 17/4/2009 12:55

JayWood, AGM next week, hopefully good news for this quarter and a dividend confirmation. Should hopefully spark another BARC rally.

[paddyfool] 17/4/2009 12:54

you have to say that the last few months have been exciting. It does appear now taht the doom mongers on this board were wrong. More than that the morals of those who were clearly pitching lies to make a few bob on the downside, and indeed the flight from this share and the naked shorting by large institutions which indeed put this bank at risk is a crime against us all. I wonder if anyone will ever look into that??? and indeed if anyone will ever pay a price for that? You may argue that it was just a share price and nothing much else was influenced by the hiatus but you would be wrong very wrong. What happened here and in the other banks once they had recapitalised negatively impacted eveything from lending through to tax and back.

In the future when a glance is taken back at 2008/2009 the perpatrators will be seen as the hedge funds and the press. The Hedge Funds (both standalone and within banks) who went bust by becoming engaged in dodgy asset deals and those who didnt but tried to ride the banks all the way down to 0p and destruction.

The press who in the new 24hr world need just as much regulating as the financial world for their hapless and criminal misrepresenting of the situation, helping to drive sentiment off a cliff.

Rant over £15 here we come!!!

[jaywood] 17/4/2009 12:53

Ideas for next week anyone ?

[jibba_jabba] 17/4/2009 12:49

Watch for this data due out today, if the number is good, petrol will be poured onto the fire, if bad then it will be water.
