Barclays Share Chat (BARC)

Hit 1.73 again before dropping back

Anything seems possible now that Central Bankers have destroyed their credibility instead of resetting the financial system (which they could of done in late 2008 but choose instead to cover up the previous excessive levels of financial fraud by creating a Ponzi scheme fuelled by ultra low interest rates, currency depreciation, and direct interference in the running of private companies (such as when they told GM, Ford etc to produce cars/trucks with smaller engines contrary to what a large segment of their customers seemed to have wanted - large and powerful utility trucks to get on with the business of upgrading infrastructure in the USA).

Back in autumn 2008 who would have believed that QE1, QE2 and QE3 were going to come along?

Back in autumn 2008 who would have believed that global oil production would increase by 20% by 2018 (when everyone on the news/in the media at the time wanted governments to stop funding fossil fuels due to climate change)?

Back in autumn 2008 who would have believed that the transfer record in football would increase to over £240 million (the Neymar deal)?

Back in autumn 2008 who would have believed that UK interest rates would stay at 0.5% for the next eight years and would by late 2019 only be at 0.75% (instead of back to 2.75% for example which still seems quite a low figure)?

If Bill Gates took 0.5% of his wealth to the Sainsburys in Ealing (on Melbourne Avenue) and randomly purchased items until he ran out of money how many items would be left in the supermarket for other people?

If Ma Huateng or Jack Ma spent 0.1% of their instantly available money (cash, cheque, or card) on purchasing £1 bars of chocolate how many could they purchase?

Also, personally, I don't want free broadband all that much.

I want fuel prices to be 40p per litre (or less) so that I can afford to travel around the country and enjoy friendship, food, music, comedy, sport, and banter, (in short - life as it should be lived!)

If Wayne Rooney went down to his local supermarket how many Cauliflowers would he be able to pay for and take home with him for a week's wages? How many transit vans would be needed to transport the cauliflowers if each van was only used once. Assuming the distance the cauliflowers were to be transported was 22 miles - how many litres of petrol would be needed?

Why has there been a supposed large increase in the number of dollar billionaires globally since the turn of the 21st century? What happened to government promises of financial stability?

pressure to sell above 1.70 is strong. Couldnt hold 1.73 as a lot of sellers reined in

The result of an austerity mentality is getting none of that beautiful feeling of being able to take exactly what you need and have a bit spare as well.

The result of having a mentality of excess/abundance is a feeling of well-being and security which makes it easier to continue to grow and to maintain that security of energy supplies, food supplies, new clothing, and pleasurable activities.

Please help us as truly the lunatics have somehow taken charge of the economy.

We know there is lots of oil left such as around the Falkland Islands for example. Why on Earth wouldn't we extract this cheap and easy to access energy?

Waste is a good thing as only a rich society has high levels of waste.

People who want to reduce waste don't seem to care that this comes at the cost of a reduction in choice for citizens.

The whole point of being secure in life means to have an abundance, or excess, of everything you need or desire.

The Greens are literally saying they want to make society poor. A poverty of choice. The majority of citizens being constantly close to shortages. No excess in the systems providing our society with its daily energy, fuel, food, and leisure/pleasure.

Perhaps answering the question at 1.66 when it was asked lol !

Lol!!!!!

Dropping?

Get the election out of the way then you will be able to smile as the SP goes above your average when the government spending floodgates opens.

Why is this dropping?

nemesis/chaz?????? where is 2.30 that you predicted????

Could be right again Jack

I can see this falling to and possibly after the 12th

It will reverse gradually then dramatically in the realisation of a hung Parliament on the 12 Dec

You haven’t commented on nemesis ChazC constant bombardment of Jack comments????
Find that strange

Bru are you a twat?

Barclays shares seem to hold up well. I can see a share price of 192p in the nearest future!

Boomer...are you Nemesis?

Hi Jack!

It seems in stasis waiting for election outcome. 2 quid on a Boris win. 50p on a Corbyn one.
