Barclays Share Discussion Threads

agree you should always do your own research, however the media seem to be pushing sentiment positive and this will in turn drive the market north.


"Newspaper reports suggested Mr Darling will give the mortgage market a £50 billion boost by offering to underwrite billions in mortgage-backed securities to help lenders fund new loans."

balldeap...

Then you keep listen to the Idiots running HMG, at your peril !!

[smurfy2001] 19/4/2009 19:24

Exactly, don't listen to buy or sell advice, just follow the trend and listen to the facts!

[psolomons] 19/4/2009 19:24

Anyone know what proportion of barc shares are still on loan to shorters ?

BARC is being souly driven by market comditions, Telbap. Monty AKA - ACEUK, Craig666, have been on this thread since 64p telling everyone to sell. If you trade to their agenda you would have blown up 2 months ago. Dont listen to the idiots!!!!!!!

telbap.. thanks

This is just the beginning of the worst monitory failure ever.

I just wish I was wrong, but this is only the beginning.

nimrah - I think you are delusional.

I've not really heard any bad news about banks this weekend.

Hopefully we'll see a rally towards the AGM and a confirmation of the dividend.

[jibba_jabba] 19/4/2009 17:25

jab, only a handful of companies reported last week, this week there will be over 150 US companies reporting... a clearer picture will be presented..

What's the MOS on about re Barclays Miss selling issues???

[jab118] 19/4/2009 17:21

take note GB... you have just posted


you take the solid trading at Goldman, JP Morgan and Barclays, throw in better than expected figures on Friday from GE and Citigroup, two of the firms worst hit by the credit crunch, and add in the other signs of green shoots (which we have put together in a new column on page 8) you might form the idea we could be starting to bid the recession goodbye.

Not just yet. Good trading figures from banks don't bring an easing of the pain being felt in the real economy. Unemployment is rising steadily and has further to go, and you would be hard pressed now to find an economist who does not think it will be past 3m by the end of the year. The big manufacturing employers in steel and carmaking are going through a dreadful time, and corporate failures, particularly in these hard-hit sectors, will rise steadily throughout the year. What green shoots there are stand out because the backdrop is still dark.

The east coast question

There are also signs that the bank's first-quarter trading is going to follow the lead set by Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan, two American banks that had better-than-expected results last week

[jibba_jabba] 19/4/2009 16:44

Monty, Morgan report this week aswell, also BK CMA PNC STT WFC.

BAC will be looked at for the property side, and Morgan should produce a good one on the trading side.

Below 200p easily next week, BOA reports 11.30am uk time tomorrow. This is the one report which will bring sense back to the banking world, as all is not well with bank, trading profits yes, toxic assets still a big big problem and more m oney needed.

[palwing] 19/4/2009 16:26

RAFBOY...well said! Ex Amport House?

[miavoce] 19/4/2009 16:25

Kind and wise words Sumbu.

[gordonbrown] 19/4/2009 16:17

BofA will be posting positive news tomorrow which will pull banking sector and I'm sure Barclays over 250p, sentiment is driving the market and right now investors are buying into banks.

I'm guessing the media will start suggesting that GB has saved the UK, they will fill the budget black hole when banks are refloated, let's not forget he needs to call an election next year.

[diku] 19/4/2009 16:15

I think 130p within 6 weeks...early June...No Advice Intended..

Right, Now that Nimrah has shown us the way I'll be topping up my "perfolio" with sliver and Gild and selling my entire holding of zombies banks.

Doesn't matter because in 12 minths tome we'll all be living in carves and bartering anyway.

Good Lick and DYIR !
