I see banks drifting down until 2nd quarter updates and then...zoom up... or even lower. They're un-investable without a good yield.

Prince Charles jumped the gun with his visit to see Prince Philip in hospital. If the peasants of this country had done this The Police would've been called

Manics : I agree, short term isn't the 250p figure but if the economy gains traction we 'may' see gains like this towards Sept/Oct time ??

Barc seems to want to break 160p but keeps pulling back .... at some point it should break north, patience is the key along with the Vaccine/R number positive feel.

Its fundamentally a well diversified bank with global presence and a model that can withstand significant negativity.

I wasn't going to but decided to buy a few more at 151.5p and hope this week see's good sentiment

PRBSHARES: yep the numbers are out so it's down to sentiment now. Who cares what drives it -favourable technicals, micro, macro, doesn't matter.

Personally in the short term I don't see sentiment or currently unknown fundamentals driving BARC to levels not seen for some years (250p).

I have always said 160p is the dignity level for BARC, 180p would be a massive win in the short term.

Once we come out of lockdown and things get back to near normality the banks will fly along with most stocks on London stock market

Look at the long term header chart...the current W formation is the 3rd since 2011 - 2012....every 4 year...how spooky is that...

Manics : maybe I am seeing this from a very large pair of rose tinted glasses but imo the news is now out on Barc... the figures really weren't bad at all compared to the storm raging over the global economy and it feels very much like we are heading on the up and towards the light at the end of the tunnel. 'R' number is down and with the vaccine it seems that we now have a mechanism to control the virus.

I think the banks are due a run and it could well be a significant one imo. Be great if we saw Barc back into the mid £2's riding on a UK growth boom following the release of all the pent up and restricted measures .

GLA and lets see what Boris has to say.

Really, really, really-really do need to hold 150p today. Intra not so much but on the afternoon UT most certainly.

McDonalds open.
Gyms shut.

-during a global health pandemic. Boris must open gyms tonight. Nothing I like more than watching BARC hitting my targets in-between sets.

There are thousands who's jobs are hanging by a thread. If furlough isn't extended there will be tens of thousands joining the dole queue.

RISHI SUNAK has been warned any move to extend the furlough scheme beyond the end of April would be a "mistake" which would cause even greater damage to the UK's fragile economy.
