PANIC OVER!!

I've just looked at page 3 of the Sun and Hollie says there's nothing to worry about.

She should know, by the look of her she could breast feed Australia!

Seymour Pierce upgraded Barclays (BARC) from 'sell' to 'hold', noting that there is now just a 4% downside to its target price of 276p. The fear at the moment in Spain is that many of its small banks, the cajas, are not stable, but Barclays possesses just 72 million pounds of exposure to commercial property in the country. The broker cautioned however that investors should [still] be questioning the groupÂÂ's reliance on Fixed Income Currencies and Commodities. Barclays was slightly higher, up 1.1p to 300p.

people don't loss sight of the real value in shares, today' prices are due to market manipulation (US idiots shorting the Euro).



European equities are the cheapest in a year after rising concerns about sovereign defaults wiped out $2.04 trillion from the region's market value this month. While the Athens Stock Exchange General Index has fallen 27 percent in 2010, shares in countries with less default risk are trading at bigger discounts to their earnings, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

I noticed this morning that Barc bounces back a little better than Lloy. Seems stronger to me!

OOPS! wrong again!!!

Bit negative for me rainfall, everything will come right in the end.

People will still make money and others will still be scroungers. 'Tis the way of human nature.

joe, try IGIndex or if you prefer to offset losses against gains for CGT purposes use IGMarkets. I use IG and the platform is super fast.
