Well all you high rollers, I don’t normally drink from the glass that is half empty but it’s time to strap on the parachute and bail out. I have been dabbling since Maggie Thatcher gave us the opportunity to buy utility shares way back in the 80’s, and I’m sure there’s a few of you who remember those days of boom and bust.

I can smell hard times again chancers, all the media posts are what they want you to read. I don’t see any positive news until 2021.

Be careful chancers you may catch a financial cold

SumOverHistories, thanks for the post, I was referring to all those derampers who may have lost out. At the min I don’t hold Barc but I believe they are the most reliable bank share out there.

I personally have been dabbling around with a few bits and bobs over the years from the joys of ARM Holdings that zoomed from almost a penny share to over £10, To a dog of a share called Dragon Oil, believe me I’ve had a few dragons but that one certainly took my wallet.

Back to Barc, they have cost me my wallet over the years but at least the kept paying the dividend.

Wipe away your tears Guys and Girls, personally I am so relieved that I sold up during mid May at 1.25 but surely these are in line for a recovery soon.

Like the lyrics of the song from the streets - Dry your eyes mate, I know it’s hard to take but Barc’s mind is made up, there’s plenty more fish in the sea. Stop staring at the floor, things will get better!

Now come on guys, all you de-rampers and others who have their glasses to the edge of their noses plucking their bottom lip will surely realise that the good old Barc will jump up again once the dividend is reinstated- now come on!!!!!

Wait for 1.08 and hold.

Way Up Guys, thankfully I sold all of my stake in the good old Barc last week at just over 1.25, this time I’m on the side of all you de-rappers.

The Barc will drop to 1.08 but that will be the new bottom, come on Barc, show the 1.08 and I’ll be back in - De-rampers keep stirring !!!!!

What I would like to know is where are all those derampers have gone who used to state that Barclays are going to be 50p, they were ridiculing Stuart for his optimism and his Whoooos!

I guess Stuart was right all along and those derampers are ones to take no notice of and push their advices aside.
I hope no-one took the derampers advices.

I wonder what share price figure they dreaming of now?

Ha ha ha

Good morning folks, in my opinion the market has had it’s profit taking and their engines are on tick over ready for the expected relaxing of lockdown, when good old Boris gives the green light we should see another mini surge!!!!!

Best of luck to everyone

I just lost faith and cashed in at a loss but that was then and this is now

It sounds as though you may not have been around the share dabbling game during the Stock Market Crash of 2008 when the banks were hard hit because of the regulation relaxing, but I’m sure you would have heard about it.

If you didn’t know about the Sheik’s monster gain he endured from Barclays it might be worth a look, I said it was 2008 but it’s possible it was 2009.

I’m not really passionate about football but I can imagine that most of the Manchester City Supporters will be grateful of the riches that the Sheik made from Barclays investors.

I did lose over £50k at the time but thankfully the Barc has pulled a few grand back for me over the past month.

Keep investing Falklander and I hope you do well - Keep the faith and chill out a bit

Let’s drive this down gents so we can all trade it for another few months.

So how do you propose that?

Only the likes of the owner of Manchester City Football Club can do that just as he did around 2008 when he pulled out during the Dubai Crisis, the b*****d

A lot of small investors lost a massive percentage of their pot then!!!!!

Wait and see how the Yanks open, it may have an effect on the SP

Fair Doos, from the Trading Floor with Equity and Law from 1982 onwards then retired in 1999 with a real fortune.
I too was in financial services and I remember you guys on the trading floor buying Porsche 911’s

I wonder, can you still get in and out of one or does your fat wallet stop you? ????????

Stuart your Whoooooooooo is warranted!

Best of luck guys, it looks like I was a little bit premature bowing out earlier

To be fair you make a good point with your cut and paste but it is up for debate whether you have picked up the glass that if half empty or a classic de-ramper.

If anyone looks at 'Fool.co.uk' you will see that their comments/advice/views on Barc changes day by day, one minute they state that the stock is undervalued and a good buy then they suggest that Barc is one to avoid because the bad news is coming.
Barclays have provided all the best guessers with its own news and the market has responded.

Although I have sold all my holding today and made a comfortable profit from 79p, I don't believe that de-ramping the stock is particularly helpful.
The market will decide the price itself, de-rampers keep dreaming...................!

This is a relaxed post folks, it’s nice to look over my window towards the river at my home in Shrewsbury, sup a cup of tea and press SELL.

A couple of weeks ago there were posts claiming the good old Barc was going to sink to 50p and less, Stuart was getting ridiculed for his posts.
I bought in at 79p and kept the faith.

I am out now at 103p

Enjoy the ride folks and as old Donald Trump does - keep positive. And all the very best to the poster who intends to buy his Aston Martin

Are all you de-ramping whizz kids that predicted 50p pleased?

It will be an interesting day tomorrow!!!

We all know that everyone has their own view and sometimes it’s a best guess, if you consider one thing.......... if Barclays share drops to what the de-rampers say and predict, the old old Barclays will surely drop out of the FTSE 100 and Barc will most likely be replaced with something like a Sports retailer. I have been buying and selling shares since the late 1980’s and I don’t recall Barclays ever dropping out of the FTSE 100.

When these de-rampers post their prediction of sub 50p it may be an idea for them to think logically out of the box, also have those de-rampers sold their Barc holding at a high price and are gutted and desperate to buy back in!!!!!

As 99 year old Tom Moore would sing, - ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone!’

You make valid points about the negatives, I’m sure investors will be aware and the negatives are already factored in with the recent share slide.
It might be more comfortable if you put down the glass that is half empty and pick up the glass that is half full.

I do admit that there is room for a downturn but not to 50p, incidentally I was in at 79p and I regard myself extremely lucky because, as we all know, a month has gone by and despite a collection of bad news I’m still above what I paid........... De Rampers keep dreaming........50p

You make me giggle, 50p, based on your assumption and others who consistently play the share price down, You probably expect Barclays to drop out of the FTSE 100 and end up being a penny share..........!
