Profits up. Divi 1p. Tier 1 is 10%. Net asset value per share 418p.

my take - likely to surprise to the upside as the doomsters have overstated their position
retail and business banking - bad debts down,
barclaycard improved also with lower bad debts
investment banking down - but not as much as feared - and september already showing an improvement and usa QE likely to help future investment banking
outlook slow improvement ....
this is still a profitable bank despite what some might want you to believe

and no late sell off in either UK or USA - so major holders are still holding

There's a gap to close at 280.

Smurf - I agree with you regarding the dividend but alas it should be more to encourage the so called pension funds to invest. The Board hopefully will take this aspect of BARC on board but I have my doubts; so we will trot along as we have for the past two years receiving a paltry return for our investment.

I think a drop in revenue is now priced in.

Impariment should be improved this quarter as they wrote off Spain losses last quarter.

I won't hold my breath for an increased final divi announcement.

all quite here.....

I am in favour of lower supports to be met before 339, 345 is met.


282 is in main the support to look for now with 278.87 next followed by 265 and 255 as critical. A daily close below 256.5 followed by a daily close below 232.25 spells trouble! doubt it will go there!

May just test the critical support if it goes down tomorrow.... imho

can barc surprise us tomorrow? lets hope so....

[grahamite2] 08/11/2010 16:15

Thinking of shorting for tomorrow but not sure what hedging long to take - don't fancy my usual HSBC so maybe Lloyds?

[montyhedge] 08/11/2010 15:25

Go Fourth
Can't remember word for word, but Barc is a SELL, due to the investment banking arm. Still will know tomorrow.

[go fourth and multiply] 08/11/2010 15:22

what does it say in the magazine

[montyhedge] 08/11/2010 15:07

Just seen the sell recommendation for Barc in Share Magazine, I agree, I see 255p coming.

Rainfall - Lordship hasn't performed as expected recently, so I'm not making any predictions this time.

Wilba - I don't go to Southwell very much, but yes it's on the AW on Thursday in the hope that he will do better on that.

[rainfall] 08/11/2010 12:32

it is both.

[wilba] 08/11/2010 12:31

Southwell is an all weather track i think.

[rainfall] 08/11/2010 12:13

KEN is lord good for a good bet to get all my cash back .

[rainfall] 08/11/2010 11:27

itlooks like barcap is run solely for the board and not investers .

[mj19] 08/11/2010 11:21

anyone in long for results? long way off 380

[grahamite2] 08/11/2010 10:26

Well said Rumordoomer! I'm sick of all these low class oafs - time to get more real gentlemen in politics.

[rumordoomer] 08/11/2010 10:08

At least Cameroon doesn`t talk like an extra out of a Rab C Nesbitt episode.
