Flown on 737 MAX with Norwegian. Didnt notice anything out of the ordinary except it felt like it took a longtime on runway before take off.

Boeing rushed project through when major US carriers were going to replace existing fleet with Airbus variant. Boeing didnt have a replacement started back then.

Tests were stopped for 5 days with no explanation before launch.

Lets hope Barclays havent lent them any money :)

Why have BA committed to 200 MAX 737s? seems an odd decision.

Airbus rubbing their hands with glee?...

Banks are now olde out dated Institutions

New wealthy corporations will increasingly take market shares off them

As will a variety of crypto currencies linked to many of those corporations that sell on line.

Fund managers bypass banks in meeting with CEOs - WSJ

Jun. 26, 2019 10:24 AM ET|About: Bank of America Corporation (BAC)|By: Liz Kiesche, SA News Editor
A group of fund managers is banding together to organize a series of private conferences where their analysts get to meet CEOs of the companies in which they invest, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing people familiar with the matter.

That threatens millions of dollars that Wall Street banks make each year for introducing their investor clients to the managers in whose companies they own stock.

Fidelity Investments, Capital Group, Wellington Management, T. Rowe Price Group (TROW +0.1%), and Norway's government fund are planning such conferences on their own, the people told the WSJ.

The conference being organized by the five firms could threaten popular conferences hosted by banks including Barclays (BCS +1.3%) and Bank of America (BAC +0.9%).

Corporate access has been one of the few cash cows left for banks and their research arms as companies increasingly borrow straight from loan funds, without hiring a bank to underwrite and place the debt. Also, solo advisers help them design complex derivatives for much less that what Goldman Sachs (GS +0.6%) or JPMorgan Chase (JPM +1.2%) would charge.

Looking for at least 175p by beginning of aug

[portside1] 26/6/2019 15:20

Yes and I have added another lot at 147p

[claret dragon] 26/6/2019 14:08

Bought today at 148.5p

[diku] 26/6/2019 13:46

Yes think smart money would prefer a capitulation down to 125 - 130p...current price is becoming too stale...

[ric0chet] 26/6/2019 13:21

not much to encourage II's to get in I suppose. It's been on the downward trajectory for years so something has to happen to turn the share price around otherwise going lower perhaps down to £1.30?

[jordaggy] 26/6/2019 09:47

Too many II's won't touch banks with a barge pole.

4 undervalued FTSE 100 stocks? BP plc, Barclays plc, Persimmon plc and Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc


Barclays currently trades on a P/E ratio of around 7. I’m struggling to find many FTSE 100 stocks with lower ratings just now, which suggests to me that investors have a pessimistic view on the bank’s prospects.

However, with Barclays forecast to post a rise in EPS of 13% this year and it having strengthened its business model through asset disposals and reinvestment, I think it may prove to be undervalued over the long run.

[buywell3] 26/6/2019 08:31

Yes he is trying to do that

But too many other MACROS are cropping up that will force his hand very soon IMO

World inflation due to increased animal protein and cereal/crop prices being one of them

Massaging the markets without having to cut rates...

[buywell3] 26/6/2019 06:54

FED Chairman has indicated the USA markets are overblown due to his previous comments about rate cuts which have pushed markets to historical highs as fundamentals are looking worse , Global tensions are rising , GOLD is rocketing upwards, trade sanctions remain unresolved , and USA job numbers plus consumer confidence is waning.


He spoke yesterday re a slowing Global economy and the USA markets wobbled
