Should see a steady rise through the week as confidence continues to grow among investors of all types. May be a bit bumpy but the 2.40 on Friday will be passed at some point,

monty, the SMART money has been predominantly long not short.

When you put red underwear on do you run arouns shouting 'hey everyone the best colour is red' then when you change your underwear for, say, blue do you then tell everybody the best colour is blue?

Sounds a bit like ANDY PIPPIN to me......

wnat red.....
don't like red want blue....

Odey Asset Management has more money than Monty.

[montyhedge] 20/4/2009 06:35

Barclays investors call off rebellion against senior management
Top institutional investors in Barclays have called off a planned rebellion to vote against the re-election of the bank's senior management at this week's annual meeting.

Fund managers at Legal & General have privately admitted its campaign to oust chairman Marcus Agius and chief executive John Varley is less appropriate in the light of Barclays soaring share price and clean bill of health from regulators.

A source said: "L&G is still angry over the principles that they feel Barclays management have broken, but it's crazy not to recognise that the management have a played a blinder in being able to keep Barclays independent and solid."

Other shareholders, who had previously also voiced their lack of confidence in the management after Barclays controversial £7bn fund raising last year, have changed their minds and plan to vote for the directors' re-election.

The shareholders were furious with Barclays' decision to raise £7bn last autumn primarily from a Middle Eastern group rather than from the institutions.

The bank's share price has more than quadrupled in the past two months. Its investment banking arm, expanded via the acquisition of Lehman Brother's American wing, has been more successful than analysts predicted.

Yes monty but some paid a lot, lot less ( and then sold them at the top) and they aren't worried.


attitude changes...............

[montyhedge] 20/4/2009 06:17

Below 200p this week easily, bulltrap now complete, some idiots paid 230p+ lol

[sr2day] 20/4/2009 06:16

gbrown.a rights issue is possible so far itis above 153p.

[gordonbrown] 20/4/2009 06:08

gcom2 you are being to sound like monty, are you related?

ADVFN need to sort their registration requirements

sr2day under the agreement with the SWF they can't raise funds via rights issue, also the issue about cap. is now resolved with the sale of ishares (and possibly news about BGI being sold)

250p is my target for mid week.

[sr2day] 20/4/2009 05:10

i believe barc will have another rights issue having not participated in the APS.and they will announce it in the coming weeks given the share price has shot up.the signs are there with the sale of ishares.sure they are making money but it will be gobbled up with the defaults that are building up.240p is the top for a while i think.

[gcom2] 19/4/2009 23:26
