The most important question must be - Is it time to buy back in?

Manifold may be gone - justly - or unjustly - but he has definitely shone a searing spotlight on the BoD

Manifold seemed to be against the freebie-grabbing board members - and they seem to think they have got rid of THAT problem, and it' back to business as usual - just in time for wimbledon - that's a big mistake - sticking their heads back in the sand won't work - those days are long gone, but the dinosaurs on this board haven't realised this

Mathew doesn't seem fit for this level of responsibility

'I wonder what would happen if I actually tried to sell them?!'

Well - they have 2 days to discover the mistake - then the cash is yours to move.

cashing in - and moving address - quickly - is an option :)

Anyone know what evidence Jefferies is giving - for that price rating? Perhaps the financial authorities should be taking a look - oh what am I saying :)

I saw at the weekend that it got a buy rating in one of the papers - it was the only aim share in a list of 5

Or is this share placement not being underwritten?

Maybe the city isn't happy at losing out on some fees - or maybe they couldn't get anyone to cover the share issue?

The global type 1 diabetes market, valued at approximately $15.95–$16.01 billion in 2024, is projected to grow to over $24–$31 billion by 2031–2035

Won't all these fat jab drugs make an impact on these market expectations?

And if they are successful in producing the medication in tablet form - it opens up the market to all those people scared of needles :)

GM is pulling out early?

Is this part of a 'Buy America' policy?

Were these particular products needed for GM's EV production - which I think is now being reduced quite significantly?

Hopefully it's not because GM have decided not to put brakes on their vehicles

To paraphrase:

"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns— the ones we don't know we don't know".

Not sure what Rumsfeld was on that day - but there is SOME sanity in that word salad.

The risks to the banking sector may only be beginning to be revealed - but I agree that Barclays is big enough to survive even 'unknown unknowns' - probably.

My take is this is an opportunistic tree shake - hoping to panic PIs into selling after the massive share price rise over the last year.

If so - I think it's working

Exactly what this 600 million liability involves?

Does BARC have any rights over the properties being financed with these loans?

Or are we just in a line of creditors - with no special rights?

Is getting serious

I took profits plus div with BP today - and was ready to buy in to BARC - glad I waited.

Even after this extra drop in the last hour - The urge to try and make a quick - if small profit will have to be controlled - at least for today

A week is meant to be a long time in politics - but a weekend in the stock market can seem like a lifetime

Other liabilities for BARC may well surface soon

GLA - especially if you are buying now

.... if the share price held at yesterday's close - was to sell at the opening bell

But I had to get up in time to do that......

BP. trades today:

Vol. Sold 22,512,886

Vol. Bought 6,788,729

All perfectly matched off on SETS

I see what you mean now LTI - LOL

LTI - educate yourself on the law of averages - mislabelled buys and sells would roughly occur in equal numbers - they would NOT produce 50 PERCENT MORE SALES THAN BUYS - or vice versa - something else is happening

You need to educate yourself - a matched trade is flagged as a 'sell' or 'buy' simply based on the price in comparison to a previous matched price - if lower it is flagged as a sell, if higher a buy

---

Oh please - the other day - there were FIFTY PERCENT MORE BUYS THAN SELLS - and you think that was all due to mislabelled buys and sells?

An education is indeed required

There were media reports last year that Shell did have some talks - but the Shell board then made a public statement - saying it had no intention of making an offer - which then barred them from making any such offer for the next six months

The Shell board also seem to think they can best serve shareholders with their own share buy back scheme

LTI - if all shares are matched electronically on liquid FTSE 100 shares - why the big discrepancy between Buys and sells?

Can you show me one of those FTSE 100 shares that show equal B/S's on a daily basis?

Liquid or not - MMs pick up the slack - and that's one reason there is a discrepancy

If La Hougue are being accused of fabricating loans and documents to conceal asset transfers and mislead creditors - it would seem the banks were also duped

The issue here might well hinge on their professional status - and whether or not due diligence was carried out - when it comes to those fabricated documents

'Every buyer needs a seller so keep it real'

-------

Arithmetic is certainly key - but it all depends on how many shares the MMs were sitting on

But to suggest that every share sold today - across all FTSE100 companies - is balanced by a corresponding buy is naïve - that's why we need MMs
