Hippo and FX ah Barclays going to 125p, but we have not got the balls to short,

Time will tell if u r wrong for 4 time on barc ..

No position in barc enough money made target nearly hit last week £1.50 but if goes lower than might go long but high risk

You never traded anything, your like hippo all talk, are your short of Barc at the moment?
Lol, look back at posts who said when Barc 325p they would be 197p the price the arabs paid, can't short at this level.

FX - unfortunately it's a case they don't want to believe you, as they hold, and they would sooner watch their money disapear than sell. Many have watched it half in price and still won't beleive it's going down. This is not the safe long term investment, people would have you believe - very high risk like all the banks and good for trading at the moment. It show's the importance of stop losses. I would not hold long term.

Monty - u record is pathetic so do not start .

U were long banks in 2008 (ramping everyday )and I was short and posted many times why ...guess who was right .

U were claiming to be short in early 2010 at £2.60 and I was long from £2.60 to £3.75 ..guess who was right

U are long barc from £2.20 and i was short to £1.65 ..guess who was right .

whatever keeps u happy but my prediction is this is temporary bear market rally and fools rush in ...lets see who right again .

Somnus asleep during the day today, what bet tomorrow £45 a point?

Ken, I think you'll be the only one with the balls for tomorrow, best of luck

Hippo I stated £1.50 target at £2.50+ but no one believed me ...I made alot on shorting barc and others with 20% FTSE correction ....opened positions april/may 2011

My prediction is £1.50 support first and then will be broken .

I might be tempted to go long at £1.25 ....too much toxic debt on the books imo any higher .

Forecasts go out window ...with huge exposure to euro debt which is in trouble

Treading water, after the fun of last week, volume half of last week.

[hippo] 15/8/2011 15:16

Looking at the chart, could anyone explain why this won't stop falling, it shows no signs of breaking out, but all signs that it will test previous support in the 1.50'. FX - you may well get an opportunity to buy at those levels, really depends if support can hold in the 1.50's

[fxdealer3] 15/8/2011 15:12

No position on barc after last week ...took my money and ran short from £3.20 and £3 .

Wake me up I might flutter at £1.25p long

yup., the Euro would lose all credibility if that were even remotely true.

[grahamite2] 15/8/2011 14:54

RobertFaulkner, John Redwood is (rightly) promoting an anti-Euro agenda and that's all that article was, propaganda. The content is complete and utter balls. A Euro note is a Euro note, end of story - the idea certain notes might be declared invalid as Euros and only convertible to Drachmas or whatever is not just untrue, it is laughable.

[montyhedge] 15/8/2011 14:47

Could see a strong finish near close, buyers 2 - 1 on L2.

[robertfaulkner] 15/8/2011 14:39

Isis, there was big discussion on Eruo notes, they are not all printed in country of first circulation. Cyprus does not have enough of a specialist printers to be able to print the anti-forgery Euro notes (and probably the Euro zone don't trust Cyprus not to print double it's allowed amount and give half to their friends)

It doesn't seem possible to hoard or not accept Euro notes with one prefix or another, then there is the printers symbol on it as well.

Does anbody know if Cyprus has note printed in another Euro country but as a special batch with a Cyprus only prefix letter, this would prove it once and for all

Barclays Adr's up in the US.

Things are heating up over in China, where the finance ministry has spoken out in defence of "controllable" risks from local government borrowing.
It was disclosed in June that local governments in China have piled up around ¥10.7 trillion in debt, the equivalent of 25pc of the country's annual economic output. Most of that is owed to state banks, prompting concerns that they might collapse if borrowers default.

china... elephant in the room :)
