The idea of Barc being better than Lloyds is based upon it's international exposure. Lloyds is much more UK focussed. There was some thought that lloyds would be worse affected than barc by brexit. I guess that assumes the brexit is bad for the UK economy. I'm not really qualified to tell you which is best. If brexit is benign or good for the UK economy, then any advantage that barc has might be neutralised. You'd really be better asking someone with a deeper fundamental understanding of banking. I'd happily trade lloyds, it's just that last year barc moved well for me and I've been waiting for entries to restart trading it this year.

Always difficult to know how to play it. Carney is suggesting COVID19 will have a very significant effect on the markets in general. The implication being that the drop so far is not finished. If you think about it also, there are currently very few cases in the UK. In all likelihood the illness has a long way to go, and many people to infect, hospitalise and kill before it peaks and is over. I think I'll try to be patient. I did however add BARC this morning so I'm struggling,.

[kendonagasaki] 03/3/2020 11:33

All time low just breached!Will i get 1.38?

[stupmy] 02/3/2020 17:34

141.5 finish so I'll start watching more closely tomorrow. Barc off and looking interesting also. May also RMG, I'm a bit more nervous about WMH/888 as they may be affected quite strongly by new laws on numbers of people permitting at events.

[kendonagasaki] 02/3/2020 17:05

Hopefully i can load up at 1.40 or below?

[toffeeman] 02/3/2020 16:49

Bigger volume today and retesting all time low - so double bottom and up or.......

[kendonagasaki] 02/3/2020 16:20

Well rhe dow and ftse up and HFD down?

[kendonagasaki] 02/3/2020 16:15

Still waiting for 1.40 ask Stumpy!

[stupmy] 28/2/2020 15:59

I've added again at 148.5 or so.

[argylerich] 28/2/2020 06:25

GLG taking advantage of the price dip to reduce their short position.

[stupmy] 27/2/2020 16:12

Might be a mistake but I've added here at 147 and added Barc at 156

[stupmy] 27/2/2020 11:18

I doubt that there's any rush for the moment. Might see some harder selling into the weekend

[kendonagasaki] 27/2/2020 08:47

Nice one stumpy.I think with the ftse tumbling I'm waiting for 1.38 with a 1.40 ask before I load up here again.

[stupmy] 27/2/2020 08:10

Good call on INCH, saw their results this morning. I got stopped at a 30 pip profit on the US500 shorts. Shame, but profit is profit. I've bought my first BARC at 158.

[stupmy] 26/2/2020 14:35

Thanks Kendo, off for a run now, but will look at it later.

[kendonagasaki] 26/2/2020 14:08

Run stops if i need to, but always try and take profit and use that as my stop loss point.Inchcape good for £3 imo.Made a fortune from shorting INTU.INCH similar company, revenues have maxed out in decline and will struggle with debt.Global recession in play!Happy hunting!

[stupmy] 26/2/2020 13:15

Sounds like I'm late to that. Good luck, do you add extra positions and move stops down on it? It's what I do with the US500. You can up making good money with very low risk when it starts to move your way.

[kendonagasaki] 26/2/2020 12:57

Got short running on inchcape all month going gang busters!

[stupmy] 26/2/2020 11:55

The spread is often poor so I normally expect to pay more than my target price. I think I set a buy at 145. I'm in a different office at the moment. Fall in US markets has halted, but it's more than likely going to put in a swing high before continuing down. I'll not go overboard on anything, but WMH hit the area that interested me and I entered. Barc needs to get to 158 and I'll start buying. HFDs was 145, but it could get down to the previous low around 140/141. ENQ looks to be heading to 18/19. I'm working on the principle that the drop in general markets will be reversed so I'm hoping this will represent a good long entry on the above stocks. I'm also trading US500. Closed the last of my shorts this morning and will try short again if I get a sell signal.

[kendonagasaki] 26/2/2020 11:55

The ftse has made up some of it's earlier fall. Only fown 38 points now?Maybe tomorrow it may hit 1.40?

[kendonagasaki] 26/2/2020 11:12

2p more and im reloading stumpy!

[stupmy] 26/2/2020 10:00

Kendo, that's the area I'm looking at also.

[kendonagasaki] 26/2/2020 08:34

Famous last words.I'm waiting for a 1.43 ask.Surely it can't go any lower?A great buy to hold and put away at around 1.40 if your not trading long or short.
