Hi CrunchyNuts
When I see the name of HSBC, the only picture that pops into my head is that of, Cartel money in suitcases being marched in to their South American branches. Six, eight , dozens at a time !
Im very surprised the Director of that, truthful and very depictive film 'Made in America' which starred Tom Cruise. Highly recommend to anyone who has not seen it yet ?
Though it is even more appreciative in film context if you have the time to read 'Killing Pablo / Mark Bowden' prior to watching it .
Your point being HSBC were amongst the top offenders , sadly they were just average on the scale of institutional, financial corruption / blood money. This certainly isn't the place to rattle on a name all of the serial offenders .
Regards W'
Please excuse the many spelling mistakes & typo's as I am trying to type and trade at the same time lol

Good Morning Bald Eagle
Yes the whole affair was really messy, most like to think that life is all about Fluffy white clouds and cute little bunnies.
So much media coverage is heavily censored, when it comes to the Arabs, Saudi's have no respect for anyone, but themselves.
Take Khashoggi for example . . . Does anyone apart from his wife still fight for justice for him ? Don't see Johnson or Biden or that worm Macron demanding sanctions ?
Only thing I recall was seeing him turn up to the leaders meeting and getting 'High 5/ off Putin !
Lie after lie were fed across until Bin Fish Face threw a token of about 20 staff under the bus, a luxury bus that is.
How about the incident in 2018 when the some of the same people involved in the hideous murder of Jamal, stood outside a very busy Harrods. Tried to attack another Saudi activist / Mr Dosari' and shouted out publicly in arabic " We are not bothered about your Queen, she is a *****, she is like a dog to us !"
Where upon Jeremy Hunt at the time said in the House of Commons: “We recognise the incident"
Recognise ! FFS 's why weren't they escorted to the nearest plane, booted out of the U.K and banned for life ?
What happened to the U.K having any self dignity or patriots , if you or I tried pulling a stunt like that on their turf . . . well anyone with half a brain only has to watch what they did to Jamal, to answer that one aye.
QATAR and Bin Fish Face I believe have now kissed and made up , though at what cost ?
Being 100% honest as I have stood up at AGM's and told the board clearly and concisely , "This is a dog of a share of a share"
Sadly Barclays left a very nasty taste in many serious investors mouths.

Moving on, what are your thoughts about this current situation ?
My outlook is still very positive, Bond markets are due to pick up soon, maybe 3/4 weeks and Fed's tapering down before start to load in 0.75 / 1%.
Equity / yield curve rising nicely too, so we should be in for a nice few months ahead .
Makes me chuckle when I keep hearing 'buy the dip"
Regards W'

Hi Cuban cigar
Still sticking with my original rig.
Posted this back on the 7th July / So I'll throw my 2 pennies worth in and hope for 184 to light up soon, paving the way into 192 /208.
My B' chart still has the 185.44 into 192.66 to eat through yet though.

Jezmaster, they haven't come up in all the years Ive done them, most ive ever got back was £10.
Barclays shares and playing the lotto all these years, never won more than a tenner, just about sums me up lol
Wish you the best of luck if you do the lotto Saturday .

I'll tell you if can tell me the lottery numbers this Saturday
My prediction for Saturdays number are 09 12 15 27 36 48 lol
Regarding the SP this week, lots of people sell off and wait for a re entry, when the it hits resistance levels.
It appears we are currently waiting for this last correction and its off to the races.
DYOR but im not concerned and look forward to us moving back up.
It looks far more positive than negative atm put it that way, 'Chuckle'
If you win the lotto Saturday, dont forget who suggested the numbers !
Good Luck

Morning Bald Eagle
Yes they did , though it was more the case of the scene out of the Italian Job, Barclays doors nearly ended up all over Churchill Place if it was not for strong but squeaky hinges lol. ( Where the Italian job van got blown across QPR stadium ground)
Without me having to do a impression of Salmon Rushdy every time my doorbell goes.
Barclays borrowing off QATAR went far, far deeper than a cheeky "Delboy Diamnond Deal"
. . .Pre bank crash Blair was shaking hands with Gaddafi and he was offering to stop floods of Africans flooding into Europe, while QATAR was trying to covert Tripoli as it had a free hall pass, as RAF used its land for strategic manoeuvres.
The same time the NATO was trying to divide an conquer , the CIA &UK mercenaries were trying their best to prevent Tripoli having a 'golden D' currency backed with its own resources, because Gaddaffi smelt a few rats.
QATAR of which were funding their own IS lamic fighters . . . all causing carnage & civil war.
So who I wonder who had given QATAR an open door into the UK markets, good ole Barclays among a few others.
When Barclays took funding off QATAR it not only was a big middle finger to the U.K treasury, who would have claimed direct control over the Bank, just like they did with the others . It was adding taking the edge off the double edged sword the UK was waving around at the time.
Lets not even mention human rights, just that Barclays saved their own backsides whilst making QATAR a massive a profit.
Which I dare bet IMO also shorted the stock the time they off loaded , because lets face it, who wouldn't have.
Lets face the truth , Barclays prevented the treasury getting its grip on all the banks and whilst at the same time made QATAR a fortune. Deceived and swindled all its current share holders and spent the next decade crippling us all with court battles .
Needless to say some big money did not like what Barclays did, most of these large funded city based funds do not accumulate their wealth , just starting with a paper round !
Its common knowledge lots of investors boycott certain companies because their own political strategy.
Since dodgy Bobs departure Barclays long term share holders have been left to carry the brunt.
Institutional investors always say DYOR before investing in any company, sadly Barclays was a complete shake down racket when Bob was involved .
Regards W

Good morning Mr Altruistic
Fortunately im not daft enough to post non factual comments that the Barclays trio had already not alleged themselves.
Once a document has been gone on court record, its official.
So if my back's covered as only making a derogatory quote
Few years back I was having a discussion which A' from the old investor platform up north.
During the conversation I mentioned that someone had posted some personal information on a certain forum, which he replied that one of his staff had read the same post whilst commuting into work.
LSE admin wiped them messages needless to say, few times over the years admin have pulled messages , mostly nuisance users abusing one and other though.
Anyhow heres to the last correction before we dig in, paws crossed.
Regards W'

For some reason LSE see fit to try and decipher my comments, regarding any liable and possible defamation of certain party.
Which it is very apparent everything was concise as possible, not a snip of the court extraction files presented to the high Courts .
Back when us tax payers fronted a £9m court fee, when The Serious Fraud Office tried pinning Jenkins( R not A) Kolaris and Boath.
All because they offered QATAR massive discounted shares price, which was not offered to us, the actual share holders !
After 5 months of bun fighting, at the tax payers and share holders expense, the judge decided that it "Was not in the public's interest to convict"
When actually the real truth of the matter was , that the SFA was about to be defunded and was trying to prove its worth, whilst if they had made a conviction then other heads would also have ended up in front of the judges in similar cases.
Basically a huge can of worms was about to get opened and they all knew it.
If the SFA had won a conviction against Barclays, it would have opened up a wave of claims , not just Amanda's alleged introduction "bung"
Where upon the exact timing could have had massive implications on Barclays books, there was a lot going on behind the scenes , just like Deutsche Bank was encountering with their business structure.
At the time that case a had massive implications for the the bank.
So once again the share holders ended up suffering with the reflections in the value of the sp.
Whilst Jez was throwing the kitchen sink at the IB and hoping something would stick, credit given where its due, it did and is paying off.

Funny how not one official wishes to hold Mr Bailey accountable for a "fraudulent / lies" that cost, not only RBS staff and private share holders at least 50% of their holdings . Which also conflicts with his current job title disclosure , which he FAILED to mention when accepting the position at the BOE !
You honestly could not write this if it was for a channel 4 comedy sketch.
So it leaves us all with the phrase "nothing to see here, move on"
GLA

Good morning Mr A' & B'E

Amanda was seen by the BOD back then, as nothing more than a socialising hostess, not a introduction / broker.
Barclays board at the time in question, looked upon her as nothing more than Epstein did with Maxwell lol.
In fact the board at the time were very derogatory of Amanda
Where over these past years she has managed a lot of Arab funds (typing with a painful smirk) and has taken some eye watering commissions. Though in the real world, her court claim / action cast a dark cloud.
Without writing war an peace I will leave you to conclude your own interpretation using a few key words lol.
Barclays, brass, client .

Where as Ed B' was a totally different kettle of fish, where he noticed the money Barclays were throwing at the I.B and wanted to cut back, then credit the books for their next set of results.
Which would have obviously performed like a one trick pony.
Fortunately Mr Staley and John Mac's gamble paid off because its the I.B had started contributing good profits.
Now those two factors have been put aside, it just leaves the matter of gaining ground.
It does appear far less stressful for others entering a Barclays trade now.
Reiterating my own opinion, it look s far better than it did.
Regards W'

Mr Altruistic, good afternoon to you too sir.
Totally concur with your strategy, its long gone the days when people could solely look for a technical signal.
When you could look a the screen on a 15 min chart wait ing for a RSi signature correlate a perfect bull flag, them days were just screen porn lol.
Since 2017 the 200 / wk has been acting as resistance and now its looking a totally different scenario panning out.
Would not worry if your finger does decide to claim profit next week, the great thing with Bank shares atm , you can more or less get back in the action within a matter of days .
Every time I close a position I always think to myself that, any profit is better than no profit.
Then usually spend the next hour suffering from FOMO
Though this next couple of weeks should give us some clarity of strength or weakness , as this area is a very sticky one to push through.
Heres to next weeks equity market playing fair, cable being kind and the @r5e not falling out the indi's.
With the obvious wish of the week ending on a higher, high.
Enjoy the weekend

Mr Altruistic, good morning sir.
Yes indeed, its really good to enjoy some positive ground for once.
Taking all obvious factors into account eg FTSE/DOW, NAS, Cable, and the elephant in room the "Good ole US T Bond" ect
Oh and lets not forget Amanda's expensive campaign for acting as QATAR's pimp lol , while Ed's backed off too.
Leaves me with far more confidence than I had whilst this was floating close to the fan.
Judging by your comments , you also trust the technical's before speculation, though it doesn't hurt to pay attention to both these days.
It is also a pleasure to read other's other input on here too, despite being linked into the "wire' myself I dont always catch every article. So it pays to look on here and notice stuff I had missed.

Hindsight is a wonderful thought, just around post crash a decent poster on here, claimed Barclays would only spend the next decade being a £1 & £2 share , never the less he got heckled into the ground, whilst here we are 12 yrs later !
So not for the sake of greed, more of hope. It will be such a relief to actually witness market confidence return to Barclays .
Out of all the retail banks, Barcs have dragged it long term share holders through the grinder a few times , we cant always get the losing cards dealt, surely.
Heres to the 'worm turning'
Regards W' & GLA

Mr Altruistic, yes I like to keep one eye on the DMA's too. Especially the 200 as its been a solid wall for Barcs these past years.
Don't shoot the messenger but it seems we will have another adjustment before we crack through this current ceiling.
Though considering buy backs and institutional positive support, im sure well do fine once the dust settles.
Cant wait for the pace to pick back up, always slow this time of the year.
Regards W'

Hi Boonie, trust you have been keeping well.
Jeff's anals do like to punt the figures lol its nearly a decade since I see a £3 next to a Barclays share .
Just hope Mrs Wolf doesn't read their ratings or she will start being nice to me again !
Regards W'

Yes indeed, it seems we should all see a steady tick up from now.
£5+ will be such a nice sight, it will mean I can knock the mutton stews on the head and enjoy some nice NZ lamb with all the trimmings, washed down with a Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir . . . paw's crossed

Good afternoon Mr Altruist.
Yes loads of people buy in for a short period and end up swing traders here lol
it appears that we are once again in 'no man's land' and awaiting a kick in the rear.
Without me preaching on how to suck eggs, we should see the usual plays, where the others who have cashed in / taken profits most likely they will in doubt get a better buy in price soon.
So I certainly can not agree or neither disagree with others strategy , what works for some, doesn't always work for others .

Some good movement from over the pond on Friday arvo.
Barclays U.S share price was has been clawing through their $10 ps.
Having noticed through the last Q3 we had lots of movement on our open on Tuesdays and some late Thursday lifts setting up the Fridays. So I hope the same scenario starts to pans out once again .
Last Q3 was like taking candy off a baby .
Any how good luck to you and everyone else and here's to all the Bulls and hope the Bears start to hibernate.

Always nice to read positive predictions as none of us trust any broker ratings lol
My punt at the next bus stop will be 412 / 456 "Fingers crossed' then hope this re structuring pays off the next 2 quarters in leaps and bounds, squeezing into 5+ once again. It pains me seeing HSBC having to hold out a "cap in hand"
Rome wasn't built in a day & 2 Swallows don't make a summer . . GLA and have a nice weekend

Its nice to read that most others feel far more confident for a change.

This was what my charting was showing me a month back on the 7th July.
. . . Add all these points together and it looks very pleasing to the eye.
Since the recent high Barclays as you all can see for yourselves has channelled nicely, it looks to me that we have are going into a small W5 pattern to a possible 167/8 testing resistance before it makes a break to test 180 with a push through into £2.08.

Allowing for outside interference involving Asia's equity market playing against the other obvious factors , my theory did test the strength of the weekly 200 ema .
Which was not comfortable at the time lol, though reassuring in other ways.
It would have been really nice to see Barclays notching up closer to 184 considering sentiment, though as always its been the yanks clearly making the bigger moves and not us Pome's.
Where they are more focussed on their job numbers atm
So I'll throw my 2 pennies worth in and hope for 184 to light up soon, paving the way into 192 /208.
As we are all grown ups DYOR and lets all hope this mud starts sticking lol.
If Barclays doesn't gain positive interest in these next 2 quarters , then I will happily walk away, because its one thing after another these past 14 yrs , without a decent dividend they certainly are not worth the hassle.
Its ok for those who started trading at low levels like sub £150's and 70p, though its been painful for us pre crash holders.
Especially trying to average down large volumes.
So I bid you all a nice weekend as Im finished for today and leave the lucky minority who bought at crash levels this thought.
"Man who always tries to pick bottom, only gets a smelly finger" GLA

Good arvo Moby77
Yes , thank you for the kind words.
Without disclosing personal information on here, trading and bereavement go together like oil and water.
Sometimes its best to switch off lol and this forum had become pointless with multi I.D's ripping Walter /Bowers most days.
It was a shame as this site used to be informative and could have some humorous days too.
Despite the covid fiasco I did get my fingers burnt about the 1st fall back as I was open without stops, went to a funeral and let some losses run.
Not the way anybody should trade lol.
So I spent the summer averaging down, so when the equity markets picked up in Aug/ Oct I was laying in wait.
Q3 2020 was amazing right up to Feb and then momentum dropped off the cliff and the Bears took control again.
Though the bulls are snorting and kicking up dust in more relevant sectors.
Everyone has their own style of trading and choice of stock, though I can honestly say it is about time that Barclays was acknowledged for what its true value was and not the scrap / salvage price lol.
Without trying to sound like a ramper as ramping has little effect unless your a name is George Soros, Barclays hasn't got Ed B' trying to cause board problems anymore. So once the equity and bonds start getting attention we hopefully will see some rewards.
Crikey after the last decade most of us share holders have been through, we do deserve a break lol.
Regards W

Prime . . . . The whole sector took a breath this arvo, once the yanks woke up that was it.
Totally agree with you, The ECB and BOE can stick the word 'Prudent' right where flowers wont grow !
Doubt if we will see much movement until they have the others results sitting on their coffee tables.
Seeing that most anals have been working from home and obviously spending far too much time on Tik Tok.
its always quiet this time of the year, everything will fall into play soon.
IMHO I would far prefer to be building a long than short with Barclays this year, thats for sure.
Regards and GLA

172.76 on my I.G account and 173.35 on CMC, both Mid prices.
Though I try not to use IG much these days as they are frequently holding back retail bank screens, sometimes for 10 to 15 minute outages, then its a ball ache having to explain to some call centre numpty, 'if they answer their phones'
Which gave me no choice apart from leave I.G after many years and go with CMC, just wish I had done it sooner.
