Hey, Hey Mr A'

Just had a glance at half a dozen previous posts, also a "Hi" to everyone else on here and holding Barcs, sorry to see you hit the S.L sir.

Least it bagged some profit for you and the final divi, hope you are doing ok.

Only last month I was exchanging "some breeze" with friends, we all agreed, "something big is about to happen, just not sure when though, 1-3 months window?" it was clear in all the charts.

Gold, BTC, and such.

Where as oil, that was so obvious as it broke out of an inverse head and shoulders neckline, back in January !

Some choose to read the news to predict their positions, where Ilike to just study the charting to predict the news.

All the U. S indices chart patterns were indicating strong moves down.

Take the 22nd JUne 2025 (last time Big Donald) ordered the strikes on Iran, everyone speculating of a ww3 and markets would plummet !

They dropped a few percent at the open. News watchers thought it was going to be a free fall.

Conditioned traders only saw, was their charts lighting up with Bull Flags !

I haven't popped on here in a long while, literally only today, just to gage what was everyone's mindset on Barcs atm

Yes, I did buy a few (Barcs) early Dec' (old habits die hard) I needed a few to claim entry for a free coffee and a £10 Prezzo voucher at the agm lol

Among UK bits I have recently 'punted' some on CBG and Greggs among a list of offenders (only because the charts looked peach) not because of media and sheep worrying.

Of which I did make a mistake (even I still drop some clangers) glancing at my screen option of "size & shares" .... sat on the train last month, bored.

Thought to myself , umm Greggs chart looks good for a quick "in and out" thinking I had punted £25k for an easy couple of hundred squid on my way home . . . . . turned out to be 25000 (had selected shares, not size) poxy Greggs ! OMG im still chuckling to myself, what makes it even better, got sidetracked by Mrs Wolf once I got home.

By the time I'd sat in front of my screens to adjust my book cost ect. Not only had I missed what I thought was a few hundred (was actually a few K) and the hammer was down !

LSE is a pain in the rear for cookies and pop-ups .

Literally popped on to wish Mr A well and stick a paw in .

This will all be yesterday's chip again soon.

Paws crossed that Greggs charts to come good . . . or the only cruise Mrs W' will get this year is up The strait of Hormuz !

Must dash as it's nearly half 2.

Good luck all

W'

Morning all (quick in & out) things are a bit hectic.

Losses attract my attention, sadly I had to tweak and adjust a few positions this morning.

lot of data landing this week and a few bottoms will be twitching, this current 'breather' just appears to be coverings.

Where as I would normally be buying the dips, i'm holding off this week.

Regarding the dividend, yeah I originally got into Barcs over Bob D's bananza divi . . . . so did many others lol.

Unless they seriously inflate it next Feb, many will just cash in and go elsewhere.

You can get more for your buck in a Chase account !

Starmer is hardly going to attract investors, by lowering every threshold either !

Personally ( Only my opinion ) Barcs does not offer anything of appeal at this level.

Until 315's tested again (my Barcs positions will remain small amounts) though I'll be sitting up in bed, when we see 230's. . . . before I get an axe chucked at my head, that is not a prediction, just possibility if this Ai bubble does lose some PSi.

So, unless this unwinds I won't be grabbing a set of pliers, extracting grannies gold tooth and running off to Cash Convertors.

Labour (Reeves) really needs to sort their/her act out, we will just see the can get kicked along till next may otherwise !

Reading Mr A's post, gave me a flashback to Danny Devito's expression, when they all broke out for the day, in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.

Made me chuckle.

Will try and stick a paw back in a few weeks, hopefully have a fresh pattern to target by then.

Wish everyone well.

Good evening all,

@ MrAltruistic - Well done sir, with full sincerity I hope and trust you will see your 10%er and, sooner than the latter.

This time round, it's me sitting on the sideline, few bread and butter positions, nothing lumpy on Barcs atm.

I'm still targeting a bit more out of the FTSE, DAX 7 Hang Seng (Long)

FTSE has been bouncing off its M.A nicely since June - current targeting for 10,500 (Inverse head & shoulders)

Dow looks like it has another 6% left in it.

Anyone holding some Lloyds ? as their head & shoulders needs to hit 90.14 before that consolidates.

Barclays recent set up (short term) had 403.80 with good potential of 412 but I wasn't hanging around for that.

The US funds still see our bank shares as cheap atm, which is comforting at least.

@ eastern-investor - Oh yes and those days when, none of us wanted to type +£3 and jynx it lol well done for holding too.

@ sparky_edwards - agree, we just need to cut through this current turbulence ahead "Rachel from accounts" and "too late" keeping face. I'm sure young Barron is still long the Nas'

@ Robbo24 - You have a very good strategy there sir, anything under the 2's on Barcs was always going to reward the shrewd, well done.

Hope this coming week is rewarding for you all, i'm away and will stick a paw in a few weeks.

Good luck all, regards W'

@PaulSpain - Good on you sir, well done.

Good evening all, pleasant surprise today.

Long awaited H&S's hit its main T.

16 Oct 2025 19:43 . . . "Well, a few others may recall me rattling on (back yonder) about the perfect bull flag, with a min T of 366 - well, its main T falls on 397.

Anyhow, Barcs are looking like a lovely bull flag atm and should take us to 397 completing the original set up from early this year" . . . and there she blows !

Needless to point out, the next 2 sessions dropping back to a peach of mid 350"s - allowing a few to reap a nice bit of action "buy the dip" pre-report.

So M1H - I'm sorry, can't help atm, though once another pattern forms I will (as per) share.

One thing I am certain of though, is ignore all the background noise, just focus on what works for you.

It should be me asking others "where do we go from here?" lol

Will pop in every once in a while.

Good luck all.

W'

. . . ."He's behind you !" - not in a Julian Clary way

@ Mr A - See ya post and thought it polite to stick a paw in.

Trust all is going well for you and the family chap, hope you enjoyed a nice cruise.

Having let go of my lump ( Im dreading my tax return, it will bring tears to my eyes) I treated Mrs W' to another blast up The Grand Union and a 241 meal up the local Berney Inn lol

Well, a few others may recall me rattling on (back yonder) about the perfect bull flag, with a min T of 366 - well, its main T falls on 397.

Yes, im still placing the odd punts ( tried to jack it all in ) got bored after 2 months and now only place the odd few manageable positions.

Mind you, still got my tail burnt last Friday, when DT posted his retaliation on Truth, watched some nice fold melt away.

Anyhow , Barcs are looking like a lovely bull flag atm and should take us to 397 completing the original set up from early this year.

With Rachel Thieves about to drop a clanger (again) D.T chucking all his toys back at Xi.

Its just sending gold and silver parabolic !

Which only tells me, that Central Banks are about to turn Fiat currencies into confetti.

To be fair I do not see anything going pop, just them printing, until what we all have, will be worthless.

Though, one thing is certain . . . Something is definitely brewing.

All paws crossed for absolute carnage, it's like taking candy off a baby, when retail gets the jitters.

As per, please do not reply as I rarely log in here these days.

Wishing everyone positive trades and good vibes.

Regards W'

@Schnarff - well done, well played. . . and apologies for reiterating your post. It had not appeared when I was pondering posting my one.

Typical, the London Bus syndrome . . . wait for ages and two turn up lol.

Good arvo all,

trusting everyone is smiling and looking at blue digits tailing their Barclays position.

Just had a quick flit through past few some past posts.

@MCMLXVII - Cheers and no, not a reference to my shampoo lol.

The 'Head and Shoulders' was flagging up, with a minimum T of 366.

Which still looks strong, so the probability of it now heading towards to top of the target is falling @ 396 now.

Though, before everyone starts jumping up and down and rubbing their paws together . . .

CAR FINANCE SUPREME COURT RULING TO COME 4.35PM FRI 1 AUG. This decision could have ramifications across the economy, far beyond car finance. I suspect that's why the Supreme Court has announced it's working on it till the last possible minute to get this out before its 'term closes' (that and doing it once markets close).

Starmer and Reeves have been attempting to 'influence' that decision, far back as January.

They both know full well the impact this ruling could have upon the banking balance sheets.

Before a few 'keyboard warriors' pipe up and quote that "Barcs don't have much exposure and have already set money aside"

The money already put aside, is far, far short of what would be needed.

If (very expansive if) this all goes sour Friday arvo.

Now, in the meantime. We should hear those inept fools over in the FCA chirp in with their chorus.

Because if this ruling is sour, the FCA will need to intervene pretty quickly to stop every 3rd party claim firm from raising their ugly heads again.

I,m just reminding others on here 'Heads up' and sincerely this Fridays ruling goes well for all of us.

After all its been a thorn in most of our sides these past few years.

All the best

W'

@jedi614 - "May the force be with you" . . . just not the MET lol

Keep well and good luck, said with sincerity.

Back on 31st Jan 20:42 I mentioned I was holding for . . . "Classic C&H flags up a clear 366 Target

These next 2 weeks will be interesting and watching for some solid momentum into +£3

There is a lot of ex Barclays staff and many others just waiting to offload from £3 & £3.40's"

Though, since the Supreme CoA ruling Im not wanting to sit and sweat for an extra 10% ish

Whilst I can cash in Barclays and spread the amount across other shares I'm holding.

Also this is concerning me atm too.

Look up : "Record buying in leverage - long global stock funds" retail are leveraged to the hilt.

This current buying spree is triple the size of the last peak ! which is usually a very good "Heads up!"

Looks like this could (possibly) all unfold as soon as this 3rd quarter.

Usually the big funds have off loaded their risk, way before a retail trader gets to see the damage.

They have been getting a clear 3 day head start, these past years.

Which If, expansive word "If" this does drop off, the banking shares will feel it first.

My only concern atm is the HMRC are all over A1 tech' and picking targets like us for their "Dear sir, you have exceeded the £3k allowance"

This government is crippling me as a landlord, ripping the ar$3 out of share dealing profits and yet, seems intent on destroying anyone who betters themselves .

Answers on a postcard, because that's what will be attached to my next tax return, a postcard !

@ Bizzi - well done indeed.

I'm off now, will take a look in every now and then.

Looking forward to the next Barclays opportunity, though next time it won't be telephone numbers lol.

Be lucky everyone, good health and profits.

Good Day all.

@ Workover - Which was put to Higgins at the AGM, while gaining a few "hera, hears" from other shareholders lol.

@ Mr Altruistic - IM sure we will both be back on here (next time we smell blood lol) though 100% understand you mindset.

If I held xxxxxx of Barclays shares id hold for my Head and Shoulders pattern target of 366.

Though like a few others, ive been so heavy footed in these shares over the years, each drop or pull back has cost me anything from a new Aston upwards.

As they say "live and learn" so I cut off the infected limb at 329.

Still gutted I hadn't chopped it off back in August 2015.

You and Mrs A' have a wonderful cruise (well deserved) and ill look forward to more banter, next time there's a buy opportunity.

Im not fussed about waiting for the 366 Head and Shoulders to complete, not when my first email after closing Barcs down, was my confirmation.

while the 2nd email was an advert "You can claim £2678xxx off Lloyds for the car loan" . . . which made me look up and wonder if the 'big Fella" was trying to help me out for once ?

So, please excuse my future absence, will look in time to time.

All the very best,

W'

Well, for all those that cashed in their hands , well done.

There is still some in the tank, though, when I see the yellow light ping, thats time for me to look for the petrol station.

For those all sat wondering why I've folded, and not hung onto the obvious Head & Shoulders into 366.

I'd rather cash in now, before the Supreme Court blurt out their statement in July.

Barcs have little exposure compared to Lloyds and Close Bro'S, though at these levels i'm not sitting on a such a lump and waiting to see a session of bank bashing unfold (again)

Having watched BPIM (Barclays Personal Investment Management) p155 away my life's saving back in the 90's

Is the reason I started trading.

Then 911 wipe out my portfolio, only to regain it all.

Just to see it all wash down the drain again in 2008 banks crash !

Yet again, started to build it all back up again, then PPI

Then we had Jenkins and his disastrous rights issue (what a weapon he was)

Followed by court case, after court case.

Just when I thought "Here we go son" . . . Trump's' tariffs (which i'd usually short) dug in deeper than i'd expected.

Hence, for me, today is "Fun token day"

Those still invested, sincerely wish you all the best of luck.

As Arnie says "I'll be back" just taking a breather from Barclays.

Regards W'

@ Darth.Vadar - firstly, sorry for late reply ( as mentioned I flew the nest last Friday) landed, late last night.

Any how, let me address your reply.

My apologies for not being more specific ( I presumed you was a seasoned trader) and I always try to keep things simple and jovial.

"The only positive thing I can see this atm, is that we are testing the 200 ma - if this gives. Then it's truly anyone's guess"

D.V jumped in with "200MA was breached @255, i don't see the SP recovering above the 200MA today, It's Friday.

DYOR" ....... Guess you was stating the obvious and referring to the daily MA.

Like most around me know full well, if the dailies get smashed up, turn to the monthly instantly.

If you take the time to look at your chart again sir, my point made. Was actually bang on !

Barclays rebounded right off the 200 RMA. As it was actually destroying the dailies at the time.

Also take note at the 8 MMA which it has bounced off since Feb 2024. Clear to see (all this is algo) not retail.

So it appears my comment and chart actually held up really well.

If we had seen the 200 RMA fail in those sessions, it would have been horrendous.

My fault for not typing "Month as daily got smashed up" for the benefit of anyone who likes to correct others lol, though in fairness, I was preoccupied with most of my screens in the red.

Not sure if it was you or someone else, that mentioned " no charts work in that environment" which was a good and valid point to make, though once the Algo's let rip. Its a case of trying to judge the algo programming sequence, which can only be assessed of the back of charting.

Just like this morning's events, algo's ripped the back out of retail shorts, who had obviously tried to hedge off.

They went off like dominos.

As others on here know, i'm never one to come on here and ramp or state opinions. Just to add and share what my position and thoughts are on Barclays is at the time.

Because most people on Barcs LSE are either newbies or retired divi hunters / long haulers.

When chaos hits, they also go into a tailspin and panic.

Its horrible if you are not seasoned to such movement / events, we've all been there in some part of our lives.

Retail get rinsed at times like these.

Its very rare to see such opportunity like this mornings open, several rejected shorts coming down off the high.

Managed to get a few peachey shorts in above £3. Closed among the chop 274.

Enough of all that, i'm done for today and off.

Hope everyone has a great afternoon.

Ragrds W'

Morning all, firstly Ill keep things short as heading to the airport after lunch.

@ Darth.Trader - Thought I might have been the one to say "Good call" but seems this has gone far deeper than most anticipated yesterday.

Destroying a decent chart plot and your weekly candle support. Not pleasant, either way.

Barcs usually play an easy tune, though everyone I know, has taken severe damage on their bank stocks.

Yields chipping off basis points etc (like I mentioned previously) JPM is getting slapped 5% in the pre market.

Having said that, Jamie Dimon did drop massive amount of stock on their first leg down.

Wonder if he is an absolute genius or a MAG ramper, had a word in his shell ?

The last time I got caught out with Barcs, was covid slippage.

The only positive thing I can see this atm, is that we are testing the 200 ma - if this gives. Then it's truly anyone's guess.

Not so reassuring for me (as still open) is that I had a text off a mate half hour back, just to say that he's out.

Knowing the amount his fund had on Barcs, wasn't pleasing to read.

Plus we have the Close Bros ( That nurse Hopcroft and others) "Awaiting judgement" that also may trigger others to hit the financials, not just the car loans.

Its going to be a case of waiting with a waxed board and all paddle out when the water is calm.

Hope For all our sakes this doesn't go much more.

Really must dash, wishing everyone good luck and hope it settles down soon.

Regards W'

@ Briny - Yes, there is indeed.

@Cereus - Yes, valid point "Treating customers fairly" and especially insurance companies should not discriminate.

Though they still do.

The legal angle is that, you the consumer actually has the right to accept or decline their offer.

Which said, most people do (shop around) only "Herberts" with bad previous credit scores use CBG and likes of, because their banks don't like getting knocked twice in a row.

It's the B.M's ( All of which are FCA regulated too) which actually deceived the customers.

@ Darth.Trader - No problem, have a gander at the 4 hr ( go to in these times) W,X,Y descending (current wave) clearly targeting 272 /3.

Only time I use previous (heavy support) is when others are bailing out, real money is not bailing out atm.

Any how, must dash. Panel resumed back at 2pm and I'm off.

Will stick a paw in next week.

Regards W'

Crikey what a sticky week !

Without stating the obvious, tariffs affecting the yield curve and bond markets.

Take the divi in to account, going out tomorrow 4th.

Looking like they'll settle down soon enough though.

The elephant in the room though is the current Supreme Court of Appeal.

A good argument of defence has been put over, stating that dealers ignored all intermediate small print 'Best interest of the customer" which they are focussing on the brokers lack of acknowledgement of common law.

Referencing "Pernicious behavior " directed at the brokers / dealers.

Some obvious points have been clarified, regarding civil court and a single, judge taking the role of a 'White Knight" on behalf a load of herberts.

Might just as well say "here, let's claim back 25 years of your mortgage fee"

I'm sick to the teeth of us shareholders suffering the effects of "Bank Bashers" grrrrr

Currently we have one good defence and very weak (legally) challenged claimants.

Though, these five plonkers, are repeatedly try flipping the point made on the lenders, clearly can not understand the separation of the brokers !

Case law is fully on the side of the lenders.

So, we are all left five 5 buffoons on a panel that can only quote "Parliament comes along and says ...." they really are struggling. This is painful !

Anyhow, back on track.

Barclays chart looks good (just run a new a new chart) we should bounce off 272 (ish) area.

DYOR and best of luck, all holding Barcs.

Regards W'

Good afternoon Mr A'

Just had a skip through the recent post (past few weeks) pretty much the same sir.

Like the stall holders at Patpong Night Market, Bangkok. When you ask a question and the reply is "Same, same, just different" lol

I'm still in the same frame of mind from my last post, my friend.

7th / March * Any technical trader would want to see Barcs go below Wave A (301.40) to confirm / complete a bull flag.

This is usually where retail start to panic and either place tighter stops or go short.

Usually signaling the time the market start to rip the back out of retail, expect some chop around here.

We should see this confirm below Wave A, build back above 303/306 ish, fall back a touch and rip.

Well since then we have had these moves and some "chop" and it still looks like a peachy Bull Flag.

There is (without stating the obvious) the court ruling / brokers compo causing concern atm, though im sure they will realise that such a ruling can and will have disastrous effect on the economy.

Considering Labour and BoE should be begging the banks to lend and not cause them to tighten up.

This "Bash the Banks" culture, only ever affects us the shareholders and the direct public at the end of the day.

That slimy snake Bailey helped create that environment, whilst the real culprits, Golds and Morgans alike all watched their books double up.

All this time Barcs share price has been kicked down the streets, so long now, even £3 isn't a true reflection of what we should be seeing.

Its 2025 not 20012 !

Barcs SP has been diluted down so much, even those on the gravy train are tasting brown dish water lol.

By rights, we should all be sat here looking at £6-7 a share comparable to others.

Makes my (P, one fifty five) boil ! when I see other half baked banks roar away.

Only thing I have done with Barcs these past few weeks is grab a few cheeky longs, on low momentum.

Yes, of course influencing factors play a huge part of daily and weekly share pricing, though I have always trusted my charting.

Decent charting, usually always comes good in the end, and at the moment Barcs look good.

As per, just a quick flit in and out.

Be lucky (we need it) and keep well.

Regards W'

@WilyCoyote - Can't beat a lay-in every once in a while, you'll see 312 again and hopefully it'll go past as quick as that Road Runner lol

@ Mr A' - Just had a quick gander on here, prior to jumping ship.

This weeks played out really nicely (in fact I even skimmed off some cream) no it wasn't me trying to drop us below 3 earlier.

Knowing its NFP and The Chair chatting breeze over the pond does tend to lose momentum.

Anyhow, just popped on as I know you mentioned your knee deep in these atm.

Wanted to share the fact that we just kissed the perfect Elliot wave double 3

Any technician trader would want to see Barcs go below Wave A (301.40) to confirm / complete a bull flag.

This is usually where retail start to panic and either place tighter stops or go short.

Usually signaling the time the market to rip the back out of retail, expect some chop around here.

I'm certainly not shorting this kind of move/setup.

As always, DYOR. Hopefully market interference will not upset our path too much.

We should see this confirm below Wave A, build back above 303/306 ish, fall back a touch and rip.

Either way, just putting a paw in, i'm off now.

Trust everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Regards W'

I'm guessing you opened up with a smile this morning.

Won't knock you for missing the 292 as 296 was still a great call.

You know me by now, always try and squeeze those few extra points out.

Despite using the smaller charts for breakouts, when stock like Barcs start to slide on the daily's.

That's where I lay in wait and monitor the weekly & Monthly.

Hence my comment "We have some decent support below" 288 / 292 looked really good.

Saying that i've been in and out of Barcs with 3x trades since yesterday, and not long closed a short from 310

Cable is strong atm and the DOW is being tested, US are starting to wake and the US Funds are very bullish on our Natwest / Barcs atm.

Must add, it's really nice seeing a 3 in front for a change.

Any how Mr A ' doubt that you will have to wait too long for +10%, just need to claw through 314 / 319

Something that will benefit us all.

I'm done. GLA

@ Mr A - Good afternoon sir, well done. Personally i'd have held off a touch (because I'm greedy) though we have some decent support sitting below.

Though, as you know I love my charts.

Anyone that can say "XYZ" on such a date is either delusional or trying to promote a Youtube channel.

It's nice to see that you are back on board, yep i'm only still holding, as my chart indicates a perfecto 366 T area.

With an Old school Cup & Handle formation, whilst my old parachute will be donned around the 340's.

Putting aside the obvious scenario playing out atm, we were always going to need momentum to clear 314/319

Without trying to spook others, the DOW has just broken its trend line, it has held since since Oct 23.

Which usually indicates a little bit of a correction.

It will be interesting to see how this all plays out over these next few sessions, though i'm not stressed about it.

Good to hear from you again and I trust everything is going well for you and your family.

in fact ole Mrs Wolf dropped the question only last night, "are you free if we go away on such and such?" for which I smirked as she knows damn well it's divi season lol.

We think we're the cunning ones !

Anyhow, it's been a long, prosperous but long.

Welcome back and all the best to everyone else with fur in the game.

Regards W'

Good Moaning

Same scenario, over and over again when it involves Barcs reporting.

Pretty sure a few others on here, had clearly predicted/expected this mornings opening.

It is always the same old pattern leading up.

Things will settle back down soon.

Reference to the 5.5p div' was also clear as the writing on the wall, as will be the 3.1 due in August.

Personally I did not expect anything different, Venkat set all this out last year and will stick to it. Any cream on the milk will be distributed into their own bowls, whilst throwing a few scraps (£500's worth of free shares) down the table to the minions.

The only thing shareholders have atm, is that carrot dangling in front.

Chart still looks strong.

Logging off, best of luck everyone.

Regards W'
