why is Barc doing so bad ??? .. just a question how good is this diamond chap everyone ? answer in 180 letters plz ...

[smurfy2001] 26/10/2010 09:50

David Buik said that 4th quarter will be better for investment banks. So the current weakness we're seeing mean 3rd quarter revenue is priced in.

With that information in hand, i'm happy to hold my long term holding.

could we say: no news is good news ?

i make it 3 solid weeks of total depressed pricing for bank stocks.

Well done the UK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The chained volume measure of gross domestic product
(GDP) increased 0.8 per cent in the third quarter of 2010.

[smurfy2001] 26/10/2010 08:50

Incredible that STAN is worth more than BARC.

What the hell???

[gardener1] 26/10/2010 08:34

0.8% growth compared with predictions 0.4%

[ps0u3165] 26/10/2010 08:34

GDP figures better than expected.

[robertfaulkner] 26/10/2010 08:34

Economy figures not a bad as expected, get up you Barcstard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[robertfaulkner] 26/10/2010 08:31

276p this is getting silly

[gbh2] 26/10/2010 08:30

I have modest buys at 275p 270p and cash if it goes below, last sold at 314p so didn't really expect to be buying back in.

[robertfaulkner] 26/10/2010 08:23

Ken's short FTSE 5731 should have opened

[spookies] 26/10/2010 08:23

Had some shares in Ionica now called Micadant. Still waiting for the final payment. A chunk of the 40m in cash they had went on solicitors and directors slaries. Sold EMG last week as had a good run and bought BARC. Not a good short term decision.

[wilba] 26/10/2010 08:17

These will hit 2.60 before the idiots stop trashing it.

[gbh2] 26/10/2010 08:07

I wonder if the wind up company is still making a living out of winding up Ionica, seems a while since the last cheque was sent out!

Good news is being able to buy these at such a bargin price :))

[squash90] 26/10/2010 07:51

erric try ionica ouch!!!!!

[robertfaulkner] 26/10/2010 07:14

Ken's Somnus should set Ken to Order to open a FTSE Buy 5763 and a Sell 6731 neither would have opened yet.


FTSE opened between PP 5762 and S1 5731

At long last 'In defence of freedom'

[pjw956] 25/10/2010 21:59

the £19 barclays was of course before the 4 way split I believe...

oh and financials continued to slide in US tonight ( including barc adr's)

it seems to be easier to make £10 on Walkers rainy days competition online that it does trading barc

[kenbachelor] 25/10/2010 20:43

Erric - The oldest share I have in my portfolio was bought in 1998, so some of them go back a bit. The oldest BARC was bought in 2000 at 412p so I haven't made much on those in 10 years have I?

This thread was started in July 2001.

[saltaire111] 25/10/2010 20:17

Erric, I'd join that club. How about Brent Walker - lost a bomb in that. BT bought at £9.50, Pearson, Bought at £16.00! I'm cursed!!!

Ken, how far are you going back to arrive at your losses of 142k.
Do you include holding vodafone at over £4, matalan at £10, Barclays at £19, Torex over £5 like me in 1999/2001.
If so, I'm thinking of setting up a "burnt fingers" society and you and me can be first members.

[kenbachelor] 25/10/2010 18:49

Yes lots of us and at the moment it's costing me £142k, still I've had one bit of luck today: I couldn't make out why my portfolio had lost £54k this morning and I've just found out that DATA has stopped trading and they are sending me a cheque next month!
