fishing for some ideas here - what banks would you pick for long term buy-and-hold strategy and why ?
cheers :)

3520 and 3490 offered little/no support, 3415 spured a 1.5% bounce and currently bouncing from 3370...

so only 3315 left from the above levels prior to last years low, and theres 2890 just under it

[tpaulbeaumont] 12/5/2012 09:23

3860 gave some brief respite, but its still not looking too clever :)

Still bouncing from natural support at 3600 wednesday and thereafter next Bug signal is 3520 and roughly 3490, 3415, 3370 then 3115 if it really sh1ts the bed before an up-cycle corrects.

bottomed the following day at 3860, and bounced up to the previous high to double top, now approaching the previous low, so could be double bottom support around 3860 again? aint looking too clever though :P

[tpaulbeaumont] 06/3/2012 10:18

slowly closing in on end-feb lows, assuming they give theres some close support at 3895 and 3840 to deal with

Now that reminds me: HOUS wanted to set up a click-thru trading system / access to broker, so that we can trade direct from the site. Many moons later, not implemented.

Perhaps HOUS will team up with BANK to provide "exceptional levels of service"?

Blimey.

Two shares with no name.

[maxk] 18/1/2012 21:22

[enigma2002] 18/1/2012 21:19

[tomkin] 18/1/2012 21:16

no, not rbs, but by all accounts.... no! let's not go there!

all AMRO's fault

[ducatiman] 18/1/2012 21:16

back to the top, Tomkin, if you are not a professional writer you should be, a very very well written piece, still laughing here, ty.

[ducatiman] 18/1/2012 21:08

lol, love it, obviously no one checks things these days before they are despatched. Many thanks Tomkin, you have put a big smile on my face. Please reveal the bank in question, though it could only be rbs!?

RBS: The report
Posted by Kate Mackenzie on Dec 12 08:30.

One quick thought. Why has no one taken responsibility for a failure that has cost British taxpayers billions?

The head of the FSA at the time RBS went down is now Deputy Governor Designate of the Bank of England and CEO designate of the Prudential Regulation Authority.
The economic secretary to the Treasury at the time is now the shadow chancellor.
Meanwhile, Sir Fred Goodwin is still drawing his pension and the former head of RBS's investment banking operations is allowed to work as a part-time financial consultant in the City of London.

That's the real tragedy of this sorry story.

[tpaulbeaumont] 01/12/2011 14:38

buoyant of late :) if it continues higher the next sell signal is 3420, then looks around 3570

[tpaulbeaumont] 27/10/2011 13:09

We had a sell on the index at 3790 which has just been surpassed somewhat, so 3995 now next, followed by around 4025.

hmmmmmmnnnn

[tpaulbeaumont] 03/8/2011 18:30

well the channel support gave a little respite, but has given way now. I have a Buy signal on Banks Index just a smidgen lower than the close at 4010, which seems unlikely to hold in light on futs continuing lower since? In anycase the next following Buy signals look to arrive around 3630, then 3600 and 3560.

As each 'next' signal comes into focus I shall try to remember to post the accurate signal price, but it would only be +/- a couple pips anyway :)

[tpaulbeaumont] 10/6/2011 06:19

wheres me posts?

Well, multi year bull flag, or 3rd times the charm (for bears) and continuing lower? lets see if trendline support will hold, around 4240.
