FTSE may ends up positive today. BARC is going to be up steadily from now on after touching bottom. I would close your shorts asap. there is no possibility it will go to £1.50. It is purely wishful thinking .

Are you an expert on defaults and if so can you tell us what happens if they did default?

[fxdealer3] 16/8/2011 14:58

90% probability of greek default is enough for me and market reaction with 12% pullback /rally barc still struggling under £1.80

I expect you got caught short on Motorola yesterday.

[isis] 16/8/2011 14:55

You need to stop quoting possibilities as facts.

do maths on barc £100b PIIGS sov debt not including France with haircut of 30% -40% ...all gambling caital gone in one bet .

Govt want protection for taxpayers and barc want more risky bets so they threaten walking after 300 years ...tell them stuff themselves

shorters are getting their balls fried :)

barc did use the usa liquidation scheme during the crisis.
a modest 550bn i remember.

[isis] 16/8/2011 14:20

What bailout?

[fxdealer3] 16/8/2011 14:19

a bit rich when u need a bailout due to u reckless gambling ...no arabs this time hole to deep

[isis] 16/8/2011 14:16

Barclays have managed their way well through each crisis but the UK Regulators keep kicking them in the Teeth.
Time to move away to Zurich or US.

[fxdealer3] 16/8/2011 14:14

people always blame short selling for corrections in share prices - people are simply selling more than pis are willing to buy due to a number of reasons .

market is simply correcting the price of barc due to its reckless gambling exposure ....and quite simply uk should be happy if diamond/barc walked away because taxpayers would not have to bail him and barc out when inevitable happens

[fxdealer3] 16/8/2011 14:02

All is barc have to do is get rid of £100b + Euro PIIGS sov exposure and I might close my short ....


It may take 6+ months but will close sub £1....rember "rock solid " high leverage gambler always fall

Easy money all the way down

Ken, it's got you now, Somnus rules again. Below 5300.

Well done and at £40 a point

[robertfaulkner] 16/8/2011 13:49

Ken, looks like it kissed 5307.5, I have a low of 5306.5 at 14:45.

Even if it just missed it looks like it's going a bit lower soon

[fxdealer3] 16/8/2011 13:47

let a few bank go ..and nationalise the most prudent ...

taxpayer is paying high price for bank gambling at minute and in future so why not benefit rather than £bs in bonuses for reckless policies

[jamrol] 16/8/2011 13:46

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz of preDICtions

[robertfaulkner] 16/8/2011 13:39

Ken you got your Sell, just pray for a retrace like at 14:21.

Time for a teeth clean, it's dipping.

A bit late in the day for Somnus, but it's goinggggggggggg

Sept the 12th...is very long time away Barclays could be up at 270 by then..after todays falls that is...dyor..

[careful] 16/8/2011 13:29

no government would want to own banks.
trillions of potential liabilities that could bankrupt a country.
the banks (privately owned) would default on these in a worst case scenario.
the creditors would suffer.
not the government.

[fxdealer3] 16/8/2011 13:23

no sympathy to aggressive and manic gambling policies of banks ...

They all should be nationalise for common good ...

short and give my profits to charity especially africa at minute
