@trouts, yep since 27 oct 23 recent lows ,Dow up around 20% Dax 17%, and of course ftse 100 laggard 5%, says it all really....
@jakK, nice thought the 250's me too, but don't buy a mclaren unless you've got factory warranty plus want to spend a lot of time drinking coffee in the dealerships while its being repaired , nice but unreliable- a modern day TVR!!
There's a party going on all over, even Europe hitting all time highs... It's just the UK isn't invited. Our market is still stuck around the pre-covid level *sigh*.
Its going to the moon!! Lol - 250 by summer, I can't see it unless we see a major turn in the UK economy to be honest. The markets in general aren't too bad but nothing is really convincing me of a bull market yet which is what I think it would need. I am long and still holding, if its £2.50 by summer I am buying my Mclaren a year earlier, so I hope it does! Have a good Friday everyone.
Don't beat yourselves up over a few potential pips, it was a wise move considering past performance.
Yesterday's volume buy from Golds (buying back) hardly touched the sides, the thing is there was a lot of momentum (which I like to disguise myself amongst) though fairplay to them, least they timed it right on the button of yesterday's low.
Back in the old days it was a matter of pushing the calculator to get any kind of idea of a drop off.
These days the software / bots eat trades up on average of 4/500 a second, Joe Average hasn't got a Scooby Doo.
Take the typical retail trader, you can spend 4hrs / 4 days researching a trade, only to find out the big boys went against the same position a week earlier.
Take both previous year end final reports, it was the usual scenario "let's have a drink later mate" young fund managers and sniff have always gone hand in hand.
Hence the phrase "Sell the news" by the time the news is dropped, half a dozen floor rats have spilled their guts weeks earlier, in some wine bar after work.
Sad fact, though always the case !
Personally I would not like to hold through a dividend on the likes of Barclays, unless I had plenty of wiggle room when it adjusts, take past finals out of the question and evaluate this year.
1. Treasury Bonds doing better atm
2. IB should start picking a moderate return by end of March / April
3. The buybacks only previously cushioned 50% of the actual drop offs (momentum / volume ) hence difficult to suss exact target areas.
4. This quarter Q1 looks very muddy atm, the real money that chips us up, will only be trickled charged until we see a strong return on the next results, Feb / March are always a drain on our SP as there is nothing to offer, that makes much of a difference. The smoke and mirror buyback bonanza wont prop us up with support !
Unless the background market starts printing good news, "Green shoots" is what we need to start hearing.
5. One thing is for certain and I trust it 110% . . the charts clearly show one more 'clear out' before interest rates are able to balance back and allow some predicted clarity.
So the big question is, we have just slashed through a serious milestone (our old friend 200 ma) will this act as support, with retail interest and a few fund managers adding to their holdings or will we just fall back to test ground until clarity over the next quarter ?
Everyone else free to add their opinions, thats whats this is all about at the end of the day.
Not giving advice in any way, you only need to look at Monthly, Weekly, Daily trends and R&S keys ares, it's not rocket science.
Add in the fact we have been in consolation range the past 24 months, it certainly looks far, far better for us all.
174's looking sticky.
Lastly with the utmost respect and empathy to anyone sat on +£3 averages, there is still ground to cover sadly.

Since the recent results this thing seems to have shot its load!!, anyone with decent technical know how got some direction/targets they can share- thanks
Morning Mr A' & all
Despite your very informative post, one forgot to add - those who have invested via Dumb investor, may wish to wait until someone in the back office can be even ar$3d, to transfer the div funds into its own customer accounts !
Maybe they might trickle a few accounts over by Friday 5th April or even Monday the 8th , who knows ?
Interested to see who posts the usual questions "Anyone know the dividend dates /amounts?" without taking the trouble to even read below or click on the (very easy to direct) information links above lol.
If we reset the clock, who's going to claim the title for this years annually, most anticipated question?
// this looks odds on to go to 180 in next 2 weeks and then 250 in the summer.//
I admire your optimism.
Fair play to those who have taken a profit but unless there’s a world catastrophe this looks odds on to go to 180 in next 2 weeks and then 250 in the summer.
Good luck however you call it.

Tophat,
Thanks for explaining 8.3 and 8.5 RNS
Basically Barclays own more than 1% of shares in a company which is subject to a takeover. Changes to the number of shares they own have to be reported to the market.
Could someone explain what all the 8.3 and 8.5 means as I dont understand this, hoping to learn
See Lloyds annouced they have set aside £450m for Motor Finance Claims in todays results update.

I sold out this morning,happy with profit.Just got nervous as it looks like it may drift down.
Will keep an eye on the sp.
Anything interesting to invest ?
I also took 11% profit today, but didn't sell all. Holding on to some .GLTA
Don't blame you...took my profit yesterday...will wait till after the ex dividend but think this will drift lower...
I chickened! Took my bit of profit. Looking over the last few years SP is up and down like nobody's business so good trading opportunities without the risk of a total wipe out. Will buy back if it drops enough, but for the holders I hope it doesn't.

Can anyone tell me how much is the final dividend...?
Just when you think it's all over PCP claims come along !!
Unbelievable.
It is highly unlikely that this is a live feed free for all.
Over the last decade,
c.£16bn litigation and conduct addressed?
I'm totally with you, long way to go on this, well under valued. I've taken 10% profit and left my investment there which is a substantial 5 figure sum >£50k
£1.80 and id start to think about maybe selling....... otherwise its staying in my isa loading up on dividends forever.....
