market definitley more spooked in last hour or so...

Agreed hippo, many will get hard in the next crash.

Cash is King.

well clearly we are heading back into recession, Germany was the only country holding up the eurozone and showing anything like growth, that's gone, and previous figures released were wrong in any event !!!!

I said yesterday at £1.88 sell and buy back when it turns, the trend is your friend and this is going down.

Call me what you want, but my money is growing, not disappearing.

Glad i took my £7 profit, a fish and chip if nothing else

[sawadee3] 16/8/2011 11:41

May be worth another punt at 67p though. This smells like '09 to me chaps.

Just to clarify, a Death Cross occurs when the stock price's 50-day moving average crosses the stock price's 200-day moving average in an downward direction.

Bears smell blood, selling hard, 150p

[montyhedge] 16/8/2011 11:28

Bears starting to pile in now. 165p on the cards, Merkel won't say anything the market will like.

max
Your short looking good.

[montyhedge] 16/8/2011 11:19

Eisler
Hope your right, I want Barc to go to 165p. To fill my boots.

[eisler] 16/8/2011 11:17

Short at 181 looks a fairly safe bet - I expect a further 18% squeezed out of BARC before 16 Sept. But a gamble - happy to hold long as I expect BARC to see 250 within 2 years for a 34% return.

Monty, did you get your dividend? When did you need to buy to get it? I know it's not much but mine isn't showing.

Lehmans purhase was the buy of the century for Barclays.

Don't forget Barclaycard thats another big earner.

[ards] 16/8/2011 10:57

Investment banking is the big bread earner (nearly 43% for the 2010 fiscal year) at Barclays (BCS), (a non-U.S. bank which has shown clear intent to spin off its Private Equity business in recent times). The European banking market has taken huge hits in the past, with big players such as HSBC (HBC) losing significant revenues. Barclays appears to be on track to reorganize and restructure, and take advantage of significant traction in the emerging markets, particularly China and India. The stock last traded at $12.47, near the lower edge of the 52 week range of $21.69-$11.85. Valuations are very attractive as it appears that shares have taken a hit beyond what revenue decreases would justify.

P/E for the last 12 months is at 6.64, nearly a third of the industry average, with Price to Sales at a very cheap 0.71, which would suggest the stock is not overvalued when compared with the top line. All this comes with a dividend yield of 2.84, above the industry average of 2.18.

Why will they be nationalised?

[zimzoot] 16/8/2011 10:41

Will Tank...30p then will join the other junk Banks...nationalised :)

Down 54% in a 12 months, Barclays starting to fight back.

[montyhedge] 16/8/2011 10:00

Bears have really been in control for 12 months for Barclays they have fallen 54% year to date. Lloyds fallen 57%.

[montyhedge] 16/8/2011 09:55

Volume very very low, no one knows what to do long or short that is the question.
