The fence, the fence, beware the fence... Do my eyes deceive me or are we through ?
"If bettered, our secondary (longer-term or within a day or two!) calculates at 216p."
====================================================================
Another Strang(e) classic...."Longer-term or within a day or two!"
Basically, it could go up or it could go down!! ....if it goes up it might continue to go up (or it might not)...if it goes down it might continue to go down (or it might not)!!!
Reminds me of something: "And when they were up, they were up. And when they were down, they were down. But when they were only halfway up, They were neither up nor down"
I still prefer the elastic band (bungee cord) analogy!!
razzledaz, I hope you are well. Good Luck my Friend.
As per the title, broker Berenberg rates NatWest and Barclays as First and Second respectively as investment choices.

This appears to be a recycled pitch sold to Yahoo on behalf of Zacks Equity Research… no, me neither?
Worth a 2 minute read imho please MYOC and GLA.

Not sure there is anything new here from Alistair, but in his usual Chartist Style, he gives both side of the coin, with a continued sprinkling of hope. His views may help you arrive at your own view as to the short term direction of travel on this stock? Or maybe not?

Looking at a histroic chart you had c730 back in March 2007, last time we was over 300 was back in 2013 and not seen over 200 for more than 3 years now.
I do think we will see c210 over the next 12-18 months, that is purely based on increased divi (that I think we come), solid profits each quarter and potential for some Interest Rate rises over that timeframe.
In the words of Mr A - GLA and MYOC :)
Its dieing to shoot over 1.90 - it wil!
"The interest rates have been low for a long time and that’s about to change as is inflation."
============================================================================
Inflation is on the rise...but politicians & economists are hoping it is a short term rise. They will be reluctant to increase interest rates much whilst their economies are recovering from lockdowns. Perhaps America will lead the way on interest rates.
Isn't there something called stagflation?...although I'm not sure unemplyment is high....we have the jobs, just not the 'skilled' people for those jobs. Perhaps we just need to give everyone a certificate and like the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz we will all suddenly be jobsworthy!!
It’s all about the interest rates. When the rates start going up so will the banking shares. That’s why Lloyds are recommended by brokers becouse they are the biggest mortgage lenders . The interest rates have been low for a long time and that’s about to change as is inflation. :-).
Barclays was ÂŁ16 But that was many years ago And then it was decided to split the shares and then they became ÂŁ4
"....when was it last at 600p. Before the war!"
=====================================================
The charts only seem to go back 10 years. In that period the price peaked at just a smidgen over ÂŁ3 (february & may 2013).
I expect to get anywhere near ÂŁ6 one would have to look back before the 2008 financial crisis....and the banking landscape is totally different from back then.
One also has to look at market capitalisation....I suspect a lot of shares have been issued over the last 15 years. So BARC current mkt cap may not be far off what it was when the SP was at or near ÂŁ6 (it might even be higher).
At the moment it is hard to see BARC at ÂŁ6. Something spectacular would be needed to take it there.
"Kenny the answer to your question is yes Barclays will definitely break the 190 and if your patient enough you will see 600 may take a few years though."
============================================================.
Yes, of course BARC will break 190p, we all know it will. Didn't it reach it last week?
BARC at ÂŁ6 seems very strong....when was it last at 600p. Before the war!
Kenny the answer to your question is yes Barclays will definitely break the 190 and if your patient enough you will see 600 may take a few years though.
Barclays cant seem to break the ÂŁ1.90 barrier do you think that they will?
"I’m glad to say that Barclays are first out of traps again, setting the agenda rather than following it imho."
=================================
Are we a tortoise or a hare?
I was going to suggest a glacier but with global warming they can be dramatically fast around the edges....which aint BARC!!

I’m glad to say that Barclays are first out of traps again, setting the agenda rather than following it imho.
Good Evening LeeRex, many thanks for your kind words. As I have mentioned on a few occasions now, as you can see on here, on the whole we are a relatively respectful bunch with a mix of views. Unlike the Lloyds Board which in my view has become highly aggressive and somewhat toxic.
There are some great posters on here, some who post weekly and some who are only occasional. But all are welcome. IMHO we are at a genuine crossroads here. Some feel the share price may fall in the weeks to come some feel a positive breakout is likely. You pays your money and you takes your choice.
I just wish more posters from the silent majority could chip in a little more to share their views, ideally with a rationale of why they believe that they are a Sell, Hold or Buy.
Good Luck my Friend.
Again, a post from over the pond with a relevance… it lists dates of some of the other Broker views within the same piece.
“ Jefferies Financial Group boosted their Q3 2021 earnings per share (EPS) estimates for Barclays in a research note issued on Thursday, September 30th. Jefferies Financial Group analyst J. Dickerson now forecasts that the financial services provider will post earnings of $0.49 per share for the quarter, up from their prior estimate of $0.44.”

Morning Saurus / Mr A
Always a pleasure communicating with you guys, It's a shame the LLOY board doe's not have such please frequenters and posters..
Anyhow, I know and see many Crooks but none called Shepherd....
Sadly for those still in, that it seems everything is retracing a little, ebbing the positive momentum this was enjoying.
For myself, I may join back into the Party at around 172 area for the 1's I sold earlier in the week, which would also work nicely, as I would have transferred from a Dealing Account, into an ISA...
PS, not that I see BARC ever giving me the Gains or Divi's to be concerned with them not being in a ISA Tax wrap
GLA all
Oops .... meant /7 (Shepherd's Crook)
Eventful day all round including possibly sighting of a little known technical indicator /7 (Shepherd's hook)
Finished at 189.60p then? With the DOW Jones currently Down circa 400 points as I type, tomorrow doesn’t look too Positive at the moment… but who know? That’s the “joy” of the Stock Market know one truly knows what will happen, including me.
From my own perspective, I will wait to see if there are any upcoming significant dips and make my choice thereafter.
All imho please MYOC and GLA.
Well,the sheep gently edged through the fence, saw the farmer had a big smile on his face , not to mention a 12 bore slung over his arm and gently edged backwards. The landmines and lawnmower were duly noticed. Ho hum, back to normal 170/180 grass we go.
Let’s see when the farmer closes his gate at 4.30pm whether he let’s the sheep graze at this altitude at 190p+ or reverts back to type i.e. “Get off my Land!”.
Good Luck All
