Member Info for saurus

Morning Mr A,

apologies for my late reply; experiencing broadband problems.
Very sorry to hear your sad news. Bereavement is one of the hardest losses any of us are likely to face. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Take care and all the very best,
saurus

Afternoon all,

Mr A has stated many times he posts links to articles and sometimes a summary from a wide selection of media sources that provide a favourable and not not so favourable view of Barclay shares; events timetable and anything else he can think of. He puts a lot of time and effort into providing this info and makes it clear he doesn't necessarily agree with the content of some of the articles but does this for the good of the board and to promote discussion.

Many of us appreciate the way he does this and like most reasonable sensible grown ups, don't expect to agree with all the articles or indeed with all of Mr A's views. Differing points of view are exchanged in a respectful way - not the 'pot shot' caustic variety that we seem to have seen a lot of recently on several threads which has resulted, sad to say in fewer folk posting.
Let's try and get this board back to the little gem it once was and collectively challenge the shrills and multiple ID trolls and fantasists with their 'baked noodle' posts and boasts designed to disrupt and lack all credibility.

Best to ignore Rtoo3. Has form for being a fantasist & nuisance on other boards. Rarely replied to questions - no credibility whatsoever!

This board is for grown-ups - move along troll ....

Agree it's a good buying opportunity. Prior to results sold 75% of my Barc shares. As a result of today's price drop, purchased two tranches - first one this morning at £178.36 as a possible day trade if price rallied (wasn't to be) and a second tranche this afternoon at £176.3093.
Also purchased a tranche of NWG yesterday at £196.2672.

Good luck all,
saurus

igunu - Really!
On 21st September, 2021, you stated Barclay's share price would drop to 50p.

Hold your horses
... it's midas the mythical troll with the fantasy touch!

Still, living on an ISLAND and talking to top bankers can do that to you.
Carrying out everyday functions must be a bit difficult though - you know, in case they turn to gold and all

... ahem, just like to point out my range trading involves no element of gambling at all but is a well developed and thoroughly tested strategy comprising a team of researchers lining up a series of different size treats spaced apart on a tiled kitchen floor (for accuracy you understand), for Alfie to hover (or hoover) over, thus indicating support and resistance levels.

Alternatively, there's always the sliver-trolley ID plus method:
"am pretty sure what's going to happen!"
"Am 99.9% this will be up around 1.90/194 later"
"Its building up - yes its going to happen"
In fact, "Was chatting to a top banker in US last night - She told me buy like crazy before results"
"Anything i touch turns to gold!"

Just noticed a large number of comments are missing from your posting history.
Your membership details state you registered on March 25th 2011; posted 218 comments yet only 15 remain on your posting time line.
Could be a simple explanation such as a technical error but given the problem we are experiencing with trolling and a minority of posters using more than one identity, think it's fair to raise this and ask why have those posts been removed and are you using more than one ID?

Afternoon and welcome MCMLXVII,

Bit of both at the moment as we have a persistent troll using several aliases who has previously been banned several times. If enough complaints are made, LSE will eventually ban again but I tend to favour re-worded nursery rhymes and song lyrics.

With respect guys - just read the threads, explains what actually happened and tells you all you need to know.
Apart from volume which was recorded as:
3.4m at 08.05
3.4m at 08.10
2.1m at 08.15
1.2m at 08.20
865k at 08.25
1.4m at 08.40

.... of course, wally the troll knows all, sees all - can even bend itself over on a biscuit trolley ; )

BUZZ-Barclays flat after 10% drop, traders cite fat finger trade:

Barclays BARC.L shares slumped as much as 9.9% at open
before recouping most of those losses in the next few minutes

** Several traders cite the move to "fat finger trade" -- an
input error where a trader puts in a buy or sell order of a far
greater size than intended
** One trader pointed to "massive volume" in opening minutes
- 6.6 million shares changed hands in the first two mins,
roughly 8%-10% of their daily trading volume

anilsharma,

can you please post a link confirming this latest development. Have had a look on line but can't find any news update.

Thank you,
saurus

Afternoon Mr A,

agree the chances of a £1.75 retreat is low at the present time. Makes it even more difficult to gauge the range but took the plunge last Thursday and stocked up with a view to continue trading the 185 - 190 range.

Nice upward rise pattern visible in the first hour of the past three days. So far sold half my holding. In hindsight should have sold the lot but just the way it went this time. Hope to off-load my remaining holding tomorrow morning.

All the best and may Barc continue to shine brightly for you,

saurus

Hope so as the offer is still way too low in my view. Good to know they won't be able to repeat this shoddy exercise for another year. Looking forward to the share price rising once the bid fails.

All the best,
saurus

Hi sugarpuff,

if you scroll through previous threads or type 'Shakhtar' in the Members Home page search, you'll find he/she has kindly posted detailed information covering every aspect of this attempted takeover.

Sorry to hear you've lost money Rookie. Even when Barclay share price is rising, you openly state your short positions explaining your reasoning which I respect - despite my football shorts joke which was just a bit of fun.

Although I think a major correction is a strong possibility and explains why I prefer short term trading at the moment, wouldn't be surprised if Barclays rises above £2. Back in again now so we'll have to see how things go this week.

Best of luck Rookie,
saurus

You are very welcome but can I have pond details please - always liked fish

Mr A,

Have to be quick as on my way in to court (my main work involves risk assessment; investigation and presenting statutory reports).
Please know you are greatly respected and have a lot of support here. You put a lot of time and effort into shaping this board and it's much appreciated. Always remember and take heart from the knowledge you have a lot of friends here who have your back everyday of the week.

Take care my friend and keep posting,
saurus
