A sudden rush of buying at 9.29am. Is something brewing?
Mr A. I’m a big boy at 58 with a £1.2m SIPP but thanks for the warning. Still not sure what you mean but it doesn’t matter mate.
I have two sons 16 and 20 both wanting to trade and invest and my advice is.
1. Research
2. Make sure your target Co also pays divi’s (boring Dad stuff)
3. Don’t let money burn a hole in your pocket and WAIT, WAIT, WAiT for a good entry point even if it takes many months.
I don’t do CFD’s or Spread Betting but the reason why there’s a warning that 72% of people lose money is simply because most guys open an account and then think ‘ I have to trade’
Wait wait wait and then strike.
My average here is 141 and I have £200k invested. I also have a good average with Aviva with more there. Etc etc
I’m not talking particularly to you but hopefully others who are trying to make a few quid and wonder why they don’t.
I had a Donkey Jacket at Preston Poly in the 80’s and remember selling copies of the Socialist Worker whilst smoking roll ups in cut off mittens. 3 years later I was working for a magic circle law firm in the City, wearing a pin stripe and voting Conservative. Funny old world ain’t it.
I had a very good day for a change today.
I’m holding as I’m predicted a good week for HSBC and even Lloyds on Thursday and working on the principle that all boats rise with the tide. Also momentum is now with HMS Barclays in its own right so fingers crossed we tick up to 180 fast and then march on £2.40.
Anyone know when buy-backs are likely to start?
Shareholders returns of 10 billion over next 3 years. Nice.
Profits a little lower than forecast which may act as a drag on share price. We will get more details of restructuring today.

I’m invested in Barclays, Aviva and Legal & General.
Barclays may not look great on divi’s but have promised shareholders more rewards with their big restructuring announcement due next week so it may be worth getting in there before the curve or before good news lands. No advice intended though. There is also potential for substantial share price increase.
Aviva and Legal General are just great income streams and solid CO’s.
Good luck.
NatWest share price doing very well today. Maintaining + 2% rise. I think that might bode well for tomorrow’s results.
I looks like today’s figures may represent a turn in the road for this and other share prices.
I’m not sure you’re going to get your 138 price Mr A but it wasn’t a bad shout.
Good luck to you as well Mr A. 👍
MrA- No not at all. I sense you’re desperate to buy at a lower price though.
these little variations just give an excuse for the market to swing up or down and make money. it’s all a load of ****** when you think about it with little substance underneath.
fill yer boots at these levels if you can.
A bit of positive news. Inflation figures better than those forecast.
You’re at it again.… It was estimated at 2.9% by SOME analysts. The truth is is down from previous month which is positive news but the decline fell a little short of what was expected by some analysts.

That’s a bit misleading. Inflation in the US is down a bit this month. 3.3 last month. 3.1 this month. It’s at least heading in right direction.
I wouldn’t leave it past 138 as we might get a big bounce from there.
Who knows this may even be bottom.
Some tin pot regional bank in the US has a few problems and the market sees it as an excuse to clobber Barclays.
Quite ridiculous.
Badjob
I’m not sure. These days the market prices or forces down a share before a good rise to maximise profits. It’s all about maximising the swings. You’ve got to stick your flag somewhere and this looks like excellent value to me so I’m buying.
They have talked the talk about helping the share price and rewarding shareholders so all eyes will be on Venkat with his much promised restructuring. If he delivers mere fluff this will tank.
I’m trusting him to deliver something meaningful. A material hike in dividends would be nice to match the likes of Aviva, L &G etc.
Some very nice big late buys showing up after close. Ummmmm.
