Sold alot of my banking stocks and tech stocks in UK/ US. Don't like these highs on all the markets. Moved into cash, bought a few major miners and add a few metal plays.

I basically agree. Whilst the s & p 500 is overvalued the mood music at the moment is positive so the rise will continue. More specifically Barc is undervalued relative to TNAV due to its dysfunctional investment bank which has a talent for presenting investors with high bills and fines, yet less good at returning value to shareholders.

I think BARC price jump relates more to company's shareholder returns. It is not due to higher revenue, better earning and booming economy. In past three years, both topline and bottom line are actually sliding. UK economy has been hovering around flatline. And I don't think investors believe company's goal of RoTE 12% and growth story. At best is the attitude is wait and see.

The key is Barclays net profit at such lukewarm growth and UK economy can buy itself out in just a few years and the bank is seriously doing it. The massive buyback simply points the logic hole in current stock valuation model, which assigns a 14% or higher capital cost and apply assumption in cash flow model, it then arrives at the numerical conclusion the bank is not creating value to shareholders, rather it is destroying values. The reality is opposite. The bank is very profitable and it will continue be so until a big recession and some stupid mistakes happens. Another round of cycle starts again.

I took a check from US back to UK many years ago. When I turned the dollar into sterling, NatWest simply took away 40% of my money. This is the way how they do business and make profit even though I was not happy about the loss.

I know there are many poor people in UK and US as well. Barclays and banks are not making money from that population group. You can not simply go through the tents in downtown Los Angles and take away the conclusion US economy and stock are done. It would completely wrong.

Hi, I think the FTSE and BARC have both improved recently simply down to the fact that both banking sector and FTSE have underperformed the rest of the worlds stock market. There is now value in both.

That said I am starting to liquidate most of my holdings as when the US. markets go we will follow, know where near as deep but enough.
