Looking on the bright side, my DOW sb short did the business for me today and covered 50% of my paper losses with hard cash.

where will we go tommorow?

I may be reading too much between the lines - on the grounds that institutions have to my knowledge always been able to make 'dark trades' but IF that practice is becoming more commonplace as telegraph would have us believe then it strikes me that when those dark trades are posted - the 'market' will look at 'em and act accordingly. So we might expect to see especially fast swings in share prices as the market seeks to accommodate those dark trades.

Extra bit of noise possibly?

At this rate it could easily go blue today, never mind next week!

Capital One outright targets the subprime market and its interest rates reflect that.

poor read through re credit cards.
Capital One Financial Corp. (COF) continued to face rising charge-offs and delinquencies in July.

The credit-card lender turned bank has been struggling with increasing credit woes in recent months and has seen the economic slump threaten its balance sheet, leading it to slash its dividend earlier this year.

In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Capital One released data that showed 30-day delinquencies, on a weighted average across its national lending business, increased in July from June. Meanwhile, the weighted average for national lending charge-offs - loans it doesn't think are collectible - also climbed from June.

Capital One said Monday that within its national lending business, 30-day delinquencies in its U.S. card segment rose to 4.83% as of July 31, from 4.77% as of June 30, while auto-finance delinquencies increased to 9.22% from 8.89% and international delinquencies slipped to 6.68% from 6.69%.

Meanwhile, the charge-offs for U.S. cards rose to 9.83% from 9.73%, while they grew to 4.26% from 3.89% for auto finance and jumped to 9.76% from 9.26% in the international segment.

Late last week, Barclays Capital said it expected charge-offs to rise to 9.88% and delinquencies to remain flat at 4.77%. It said Capital One's management recently indicated they expect U.S. card charge-offs to rise in the second half as the economy weakens.

Capital One's shares closed Friday at $35.08 and haven't traded premarket.

Alot of people will have taken their head out of the sand and thought:

"Those BARC shares I bought last year are now in profit"

They will be looking back to 55p and thinking 'even' is better than a 70% loss.

Long at 344.5

Don't think 340 will be tested today

[capricious] 17/8/2009 10:47

I think you guys are way out, 3.30 - 3.70 range until the upward trend resumes.

[madmick] 17/8/2009 09:28

£3 is where I am looking for re-entry.

[keith95] 17/8/2009 09:24

Re-test £3.00 or so?

[grahamite2] 17/8/2009 08:46

So much for the DCB.
