Druid - for what it's worth 'analysts and traders' quoted in this morning's market reports seem to think that Barclays won't get ABN, so it will support the share price. The thinking is that if unsuccessful, they will be vulnerable to a bid. There's a rumour going around that Bank of America are in London today to try and talk to them. JP Morgan have this to say about the situation.
