Or better still a close friend who I can not .mention on here, due to his popularity lol. Has a full size ring on his farm. So no problem for spectators, due to the amount of people that fool has annoyed over the years. Off line for a while as motorway driving and texting does not go too well lol. Have a good day chap

Agree with you on that one. With reference to my precious rant, so not to mislead retail investor in thinking it's safe to buy. This morning looked to peachy not to. Ftse held after open, GBP / USD was ok too. Oil wasn't looking short until yanks woke up. Common sense told me the yanks wanted to hold as it's earning season. So it was a no brainer at 184, leaving a BE at 185.84. What with a cheeky oil trade on,my, spread account, today was great until I noticed the village idiot had been on here again. If it went against me I would have just doubled up and been quite happy. Personally I don't post 9 out 10 as I don't have the time. Having missed trades whilst getting caught up on here. Lucky for me I have had some sensible trades these past 2 years with Barcs. Oil an FX trades get a touch heavy with Trump tweeting. So it's a nice an easy trade with Barcs. Was looking like a run up to 200 area for results. Though fx, oil and ftse all play a part on repressing Barcs atm. Personally I'm much happier holding Barcs over Lloyds and RBS. That's for certain. Regards W'

Oh and as for creeping out of ones box. I'm in Liverpool atm. Back in London Friday. Where would you like me to waste 9 miles a gallon meeting you. Would love you to be brave enough to stop hiding behind a keyboard. Got no qualms heading to your manor. Promise you one thing. So grow some and let's cross paths

Sorry if this doesn't read in good form as using my phone atm. Ok u sad little fool, without showing my account. How would u like to see my Bar trade ? 108.151 units,bought and sold when my oil trade spiked at same time. Giving me an extra 3k today. Yes I still hold long in other accounts too. Go and play with your benefit book Jack. By all means meet me and I can show you my account. Then shut your sad little mouth for once and all. I don't post 90% of my trades. U sad little fool.

Yes H'Y results should be 2nd August.
With the big boys leaking their results this week too, its earning / hunting season now lol.
Do not pay any attention to the charts unless you have DMA
With out bragging I grabbed some Barclays at 184 this morning and let them go at 188 on the nose, about half hour ago.
Was just testing the water, think we will have some fun with Trump and his tarrifs along with soppy drawers losing the will at #10 lmao.
Best to play it safe and wait till the dust settles, Barcs have good support here at 185 atm.
KInd Regards W'

"Think I posted testing 187 possible 184, which is crunch time for a bounce or another kicking sadly"

Hold ya horses chap, did one not read the part "or another kicking" bit.
Does that not read as "be cautious" to others ?

Also may one enquire, to why any investor would be happy with Barclays performance now ?

Not sure of your position with Barclays atm, if you are invested or just post on here.
Though Im sure others would love to engage in conversing with you on these matters, though sadly I currently could do with a 25 hour day atm. While allowing an hour for sleep lol.
So apologies if I do not get back to you, onlypop in here every once in a while, due to obvious reasons.

Currently Barclays charts looks like its forming the classic head and shoulders pattern.
IF SO YOU MAY SEE A right shoulder forming a arch into 200 area again.
THOUGH THE CHARTS DO NOT LOOK GOOD ATM, so unless some big hedge fund manager wallops 5 billion plus in soon, the shorter are back in action.
Not trying to reiterate on previous postings, 185 /184 was the area for resistance OR THINGS COULD GET MESSY.

Regards W'

* read as you will, can not concentrate on typing and trading others screens at the same time.
After all I am a bloke lol

Completely emphasize with both you and Spy' on that one . . . you will both be ok I'm sure.
Sit back with a decent bourbon and ponder the thought of, just how many others are in here at £3 plus.
Some with another decimal point in the investment showing and 50% in their loss column.

Hence I have just left that trade account alone, apart from service charges and withdrawing dividends.

Trumps needs to release some of his oil stock onto the markets, hence this Putin meeting soon.
If his tax cuts are to work he needs oil to fall or they were implicated for nothing as the pumps will swallow up anyones spare fold.
It all depends on the mid term elections and he is such and egotist, which a president with an ego. . . . is know different from a bully keeping ground. When they get slapped about, they chuck anything back at you.

So expect oil to fall and cushion any blow the shorters may have on Barclays share price.
Markets are so ramped up atm it is easily spooked, so I'm personally waiting on oil to plummet.

If not it is defiantly going to be a politically driven recession, heavy one too boot !
With some massive shorts running against the big houses builders atm too, sale boards popping up everywhere.
It does look like the "Never never's" are going to actually feel some pain soon.

Regards W'

Hi there BWK
Trust this day finds you well and good.
Maybe we should grab a foot stall and visit the corner of Hyde Park on Sunday.

For all those not familiar with the corner of Hyde Park on a Sunday, its known as Speakers Corner. Please do not think it has anything to do with Hampstead Heath lol.

Recently I have been drawn away from Trading Barcs and concentrated more on the Dax, FTSE and Dow.
Though Flump needs to be banned form Tweeting . . That deluded fool cost me a fortune this past 2 weeks.
Tech analysis is no good when that idiot Tweets rubbish.

Full agreement with the next 4 / 8 weeks though. It will be interesting to get the latest quarter results though.
Bollinger bands are useful indicators, though might need a tweak as currently Prosecco.

Unless you are trading with DMA (Direct Market Access) don't bother, them pesky brokers set their charts out of synch and work off futures.
Unless you are a futures trader, do not put too much faith in brokers charting.
With Barcs its all really down to public perception and less of fundermentals imo.

One thing I am 100% sure about is, the real powers in control are going to punish uk citizen's over Brexit.
It has screwed up so many of their plans, even far back as Churchil hoped for a United States Of Europe !
Without getting banned from this site after all these years, some people need to do some simple homework.
Who founded the EEC back then, what links did they have throughout Germany.
How come some German U Boats were ordered not to sink some certain American vessels ?
The governments have been in and out of each others pockets for years now, having open boarders is one thing.
Without going off track, how do they expect to integrate religion ?
'When in Rome, do what the Romans do" is that not the old saying.
So all my life when I have been in others countries I did my best to respect their beliefs and religions.
It baffles me why the U.K did not adapt immigration like,Canada, Australia and New Zealand years back.
Why poke our nose into something we should not have done in the first place ?
Bush and Blair for instance, Bush junior was only elected to finish what his dad started.
Blair just wanted the U.K filled with bodies hoping to make the GDP look good.

The thing I am certain about is Johnson needs his mouth glueing, May is wetter than a puddle.
Corbyn . . . Fickle, hejust tries to jump on board anything that seems popular at that time.

Without rattling on . . . May needs to go into Brussels meeting with a face like thunder, start standing up for this country . . . we were once known a Great Britain for a reason !
Did anyone not realise this country has supported the growth of the Euro, whilst retaining its Pound.

Pensioners and savers "this countries back bone" are the only ones to really suffer these past years.
Resulting in many investing in FTSE100 companies and getting slowly robbed against inflation !

Kind Regards W'

Sadly yesterday the American side of Barclays watched the $10 breach again, not great for confidence.
Main reason was the GBP / USD exchange rate tested 1.30's which we all expect the USD to scratch away at our pound the more T' May lets everyone wipe their backsides on No'10's curtains and urinate in the paper bin !
Guess the pound is going to get 'pounded' the closer to this D'Day we get.

Cant someone inject her with some of Maggie Thatchers D.N.A ?

With high street business suffering, oil testing everyones pockets and consumer confidence about to be released.
Barclays will hover this area until some positive news, hence the current down trend we see ours put in again.
Which is why I dropped my S at around £2 and left my L trade in 'no mans land' until the water settles.
Think I posted testing 187 possible 184, which is crunch time for a bounce or another kicking sadly.
Hopefully we should see this bounce as the charts do indicate one, markets hold around this time anyhow.

Barcs results due in on the 2nd of August and hopefully a build up towards them as per.

The real underlying stench is the fact that back in 2008 the yanks had a national debt of 8.9 Trillion
With Q.E and Trump inflating their markets he inherited O'Bummers contribution and the debt stands over X2 the 2008 level.
How long can Trump pump the DOW ?
Q.E was basically the only thing keeping banks from actually being insolvent.
Surely i'm not the only one who used to own banks shares pre 2008 at much higher levels.

Regarding Jes trying to turn Barclays around, its a bit like trying to stop an oil tanker.
Soppy nuts A'J would have been in a far worse scenario if he had still had charge, see the mess D'Bank are in !
Though one can not help but think we would have been closer to £3 a share before the collapse lol
Which would have let a few of us bail out in time.

So tired of hearing about Brexit, though in truth its the only thing holding our share price down, like many others.
Lloyds in the same boat 60 / 62p ect; same across the board.

Not sure if anyone noticed the Q.A.T.A.R. / S.C.O was dealt with last month, least that's done with now.
just leaves a few fund managers crying about their access to the troth, when the pigs were fed cake in the 2008 crash.

Which leaves us in the same boat as anyone else W.T.F is going on T' May sort ya $41t out !
Sack Carnage and get a Bailey in and lets start a fresh.

lmao, you just had me scratching me head, poxy auto spell lol. Even I meant to have posted "We..... care" not car. Would you be a dedicated Gooner, maybe a grandchild descendant / grandchild from the Woolwich munitions factory then ? Showing my age lol as I can remember being a kid when they built the clock tower at your old stadium ! Be lucky

Passes what ? The Red Lion lol One would prefer a much better verse, that reflects the structure of this board these past few years . . . "No one likes us, no one likes us and we don't car!" ShhhhSShhhhhhh ! With a more serious note, it is a damn shame whats happened on here, do miss a few ole friends. Some even used log on and post from over the pond. Smithy if your not scrapping in the Red Lion, have a butchers at a hard back by Ed Ponsi / FOREX PATTERNS AND PROBABILITIES. Its a ageless read, from sucking eggs to charting practises. Its sort of an institutuoinal 'hand me down' read. Well worth reading slowly half a dozen times and if you blow your account, go back and read again lol. If you can handle FX charts, then Barcs ect seem a slow stroll in the park. bol

Very serious ole chap . . . though why keep posting and reiterating ones analysis ? Very much doubt anyone will trade, whilst we are all waiting for this summit and then the banks quarter results. Quite a few banks investment arms are in deep "Doo too!" atm JP and Citi look like they can handle it, Barclays needs positive results or Captain Pugwash might take helm lol With reference to Barbed's reply . . . about sums it up atm GLA

Them pesky wabbits . . . "Not to mention Little Wed Widing Hood's due here soon!"

Yesterdays U.S's 10 year b's took a beating, down 6% ! Though it landed Barclays on the 200 m.a. Which is obviously a key R & S support area, which considering all other factors now, dos not look to clever. If we all see a close below this m.a it brings 190 / 187 back in the mix. Though we have yet to see what our index does later, ftse held on 600's which may give up today ? Key factor to consider now is that if 187 does not hold for what ever under lying euro or yield factor, things may get really nasty for Barclays share price. Personally I can not see this happening as it would most defiantly see Jes being given a box by the security staff. Surely with so much volatility in the markets it has been a time for investment banks to cash in this past quarter. Which ever, must sign and concentrate on my other bits atm. GLA

It's getting very tedious indeed. Enough is enough, do we really have to endure this nonsense all the time.

Jack or who ever this is lol. Yes, good call though I think I was being a little subtle a few weeks back posting my short position too. Though it was bang on with Fridays diving competition. Sure you aren't Italian lol. Just out the door and will take a glance on here later. Also in agreement with the slight bounce too, looking at the bigger picture it does look like some of us may have a lower buy opportunity. Regards W'

Closed my "Bread an Butter" short at 198 GBP and Italian Banks took a hammering, their index is not great either due to politics atm. Much the same as ours. Hoping for a few more points south and then it looks like another buy on the cards. Painful past few weeks, though clear on even the basic of charts. Its never nice watching your holdings slip back either, hence why I grab a few pips on retraces. FTSE is tree shaking atm, 80% of the retail traders were short so the big money was and is long. DOW and FTSE are both still very bullish. Off now as need to trade. GLA

EXCLUSIVE � Barclays activist urges trading shutdown at investment bank � sources 17 May 2018 17:23 Future of cash, fixed income trading in doubt, investors say Bramson seen keen to prioritise ECM, DCM and M&A advisory Some shareholders oppose the plan, citing cost, complexity Strategy is at odds with CEO's vision to invest in trading (Adds further details, investor quotes) By Sinead Cruise, Ben Martin and Lawrence White LONDON, May 17 (Reuters) � Activist investor Edward Bramson is calling on Barclays to end the bulk of trading activities at its investment bank, in a radical plan to cut costs and boost returns at the British lender, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. Investors briefed by the New York-based financier, who took a surprise 5 percent stake in Barclays in February, said Bramson wanted it to axe all parts of its investment banking operation that did not directly serve corporate clients. The plan would see Barclays keep its money-spinning M&A advisory business and the equity and debt capital markets teams responsible for leading high-value initial public offerings and bond sales, but cull its cash equities, currency and fixed income trading desks, the sources said. Spokesmen for Bramson's Sherborne Investors and Barclays, Britain's third biggest bank by market capitalisation, declined to comment. "The trading businesses lack scale, absorb too much risk capital and deliver too small a return," one of the sources familiar with Bramson's plan said. "There is a route back to success and respectability for this bank, and this is to focus on the retail bank, Barclaycard and the good bits of the corporate and investment bank (CIB). Management just have to seize it." Bramson, described as a turnaround specialist on his company website, has until now managed to keep the finer details of his plan to revamp Barclays under wraps since his 700-million-pound ($947 million) investment vehicle � Sherborne Investors Guernsey C � made its stake-building public. Bramson has a strong record of delivering change at his turnaround targets.

Think we can say the crap part is dropping back now. Just a matter of pace with other factors like FX and Indi's counter acting the growth at present. It is possible we can test �2 again. Though it is unlikely to drop back much below as there is significant support now. Usual build up for next results and there is bigger fund interest. In my opinion the scales have finally turned, hence I have been able to claw back some decent trades this past year. Writing whilst a profitable short is sitting in front of me lol. A cautious one though with only 50% placed. Looking to cover when we see a lower breach. Trying to judge the odd couple of points is near impossible. Off now as need to enjoy some nice weather.
