Bloomberg also reporting BARC win.

Staveley has lost according to BBC

Manics : IF barc can stay blue today when the ftse ends the day still red then I would say this is a clear signal that the share price has legs to head north. Aimo of course and maybe the court case sends a small curve ball (unlikely me thinks)... more likely this will just add another boost to the share price GLA and i may join you in another top up on monday / tues

Perhaps I'll be buying again next week. Fantastic call, those that held.

Blue! PRBSHARES: you could sell Monday and still get the divi.

[prbshares] 26/2/2021 08:50

Not sure how long you have to hold the shares post ex-divi date ... ? Anyone have the answer ?

Very encouraging performance thus far for both BARC and FTSE considering large sell offs in Dow and Asia stocks!

forcemode : sometimes they say that lady luck falls on your side ... well done for not filling your 159.5 trade. Hopefully the tree shake this morning was simply an opportunity for the market to take up some stops and force the 'fear' sell button on a few. We will have to see how today pans out, but from my window its blue sky and i'll take that all day every day 😉

[forcemode] 26/2/2021 08:37

I tried to sell first thing at circa 159.5 but couldn't fill my full order so decided to hang on......may have been lucky? I'll be keeping a close eye and may yet sell. Would I still get the divi or do you have to hold at close of pay today to qualify?

[manics] 26/2/2021 08:31

Looks like your conviction may be well founded PRBSHARES...

[prbshares] 26/2/2021 08:26

Both the 200 and 50 are looking good.... I am going to where my rose tinted glasses (as we head towards spring with a falling 'R' number) and stick my head above the parapet and say that this is a fuel up stop for the big boys. I may be wrong (which often happens) but I think the news is out there on barc and my glass is half full as I just can't see a continued red ftse based on the vaccine news and UK's advanced vaccine position.... but thats jimo. Your views/opinions are always appreciated... and I have been called delusional before 🤪

All miners apart from the goldies :( diku: did you have some HSS in the end? Recovery in play and management motivated above 15p.

[diku] 26/2/2021 08:17

End of month profit taking took hold yesterday on US indexes...just look at those Miners have rallied in the last 3 weeks...

[manics] 26/2/2021 08:17

PRBSHARES: BARC have been at the bench of many losing court cases! That Amanda significantly reduced her claim late on is fairly telling imo.

[manics] 26/2/2021 08:15

Closed 160.3p. I don't know on the down yet but upside I would buy again at 166-168p. Lets see what happens. GLA.

[prbshares] 26/2/2021 08:14

Manics : Amanda obviously likes risk !! I would have thought Barc wouldn't be in court if they thought they were going to lose . So did you exit barc at 158/9 or hanging on for the ride ? I think after such a monumental climb to 165.5p its no surprise that she is pulled back a little. I guess the question to ask is whether the market wants to fill up lower on barc ? Us mere mortals tend to be riding on the fear button when things go red, but for the big boys this is often when they spend other peoples money buying !!

[manics] 26/2/2021 08:04

That escalated quickly...!

[manics] 26/2/2021 07:59

PRBSHARES: a few here have tried to follow the case and it's like going down a (legal) rabbit hole trying to do so. Very recently courts have directed comparatively simplistically that a ruling is 'imminent'. That was a week or so ago I think. She is going to get told to "do one" imo. Amanda has bought another football club I believe since the case began so she may be distracted!

(Alliance News) - A businesswoman who sued Barclays PLC for hundreds of millions of pounds is waiting to hear whether she has won a High Court battle. Amanda Staveley made complaints about the behaviour of Barclays' bosses when negotiating investment deals during the 2008 financial crisis. She said PCP Capital Partners, a private equity firm she runs, would have invested on "vastly better terms" but for Barclays' "false representations". The bank disputed her allegations and said the claim should be dismissed. A High Court judge is scheduled to deliver a ruling on the dispute on Friday. Justice Waksman heard evidence at a trial in London during the summer of 2020. Staveley said bank bosses agreed to provide an unsecured GBP2 billion loan to Qatari investors, but alleged that the loan was "concealed" from the market, shareholders and PCP Capital Partners. She said PCP was induced to invest on "manifestly worse terms" than Qatari investors. Lawyers representing PCP told the judge that an initial damages claim was for a sum between GBP1.6 billion and GBP400 million. By the end of the trial PCP was arguing for amounts ranging between around GBP830 million and around GBP600 million. Lawyers representing bank bosses criticised Staveley, who says PCP introduced Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour – a member of the royal family of Abu Dhabi – to Barclays as an investor, during the trial. Jeffery Onions, who led Barclays' legal team, told Justice Waksman that she had a "tendency to exaggerate" when giving evidence. He said her evidence had been "peppered with hyperbole" and in some respects was "plainly dishonest". Lawyers representing PCP, and Staveley, said the claim should succeed. Joe Smouha, who led PCP's legal team, said the building blocks of the claim were "straightforward". He said PCP had been "induced" to make subscriptions on the basis of "representations" by Barclays which were "false".

Manics : guess its going to be a choppy day... seemed weak last night at close. My rose tinted glasses see blue sky out side and a lifting economy... i guess we are always going to have consolidation days and maybe the market wants to fill up a little lower on Barc ? Whats your thoughts on the court case PCP Capital ?
