Possibly true scotinvestor - so now could be the time to go long.
From a value point of view most would have to rate Barclay's a buy and with a high divi yield most of the public will feel it's a safe bet at these levels.

With the shares turning upwards and all this good press you have to ride with it.

what good press....its all doom and gloom.....crashing stock market, high fuel prices, high food prices, tumbling house prices, high mortgages, crime soaring......wheres the good news?

I mean Barclay's specific - broker upgrades, high divi, price depressed, secured fund raising etc. Investor's will jump on board.

little man aka scotinvestor ..... so eat my very soiled undies! ..... buying at 327 may have been a little premature, but now currently comfortably in the money ..... i have already set my exit price, so shall not be (too) tempted to get too greedy

its 330p u moron....so what profit by time u pay commission twice for buying and selling plus stamp duty.....plus nicking of quarter or half pence for buying and selling.

oh yeah thats right, u bought 5 million shares i forgot!

dont make me sick talking about u shiiting in your pants u sub-human vermon.

you really have such a limited vocabulary, seemingly in direct disproportion to your crassness, bigotry, egotistical conceit and limited brainpower - or at least the sensible use thereof.

as i bought BARC at 327, 330 sees me in the money, (more so earlier in the day) bearing in mind that CFDs carry neither stamp nor commision other than what is included in the spread - but of course you knew all that ..... by the way, i bought 7,000 in total

did u sell yesterday at 330p.........as its tumbling now cynic....u'll need to claim more benefit money, lol

hurry up, its dropped another 7p since i typed.........u'll be giving blowjobs tonight in your area to get your money back, lol

much of the fall is readily attributable to the nil paid rights at 282 at 3:14

In my opinion, BARC will drop towards 250p soon.

totally AGREE hyleo....its crap bank too

250 is not impossible for whatever reason, but i would have thought it very likely that sp will be "managed" to keep it (well) above that level until the rights issue is fully away, albeit that it must surely be fully underwritten

cynic this is not a rights isue it is a placing of new shares offerred to existing and new shareholders all shares have been sold but existing shareholders may buy shares if they so wish otherwise they will be taken up by institutional shareholders already committed to the placing.

pretty well synonymous and still every reason for BARC to wish to keep sp (well) above the issue level ..... matter of face to the Qataris as much as anything else

Worked out ex issue price about 311p, so agree with cynic, much of fall based on this factor. Keeping an open mind about what sp does short term but I think there is a good chance that will be able to buy sub 300p post issue dust. Probably plenty of bad news to come in financial sector (i.e monolines etc). Some are surprised that Barc only wanted to raise 4bn+ and even then the board say that a significant amount will be used to invest as opposed to shore up. Quite happy to hold these longer term at these levels but, am holding fire for now before averaging down. sp 304p

Sensible shorters will be thinking of taking their profits before foreign investors start increasing their shareholdings.

Bought@294p wait for the upturn !!

My mate Scotty I dont want to wind up CynicI do enough of that as you know..but BARC down to 2 by Xmas punt or no punt.

barc will be down by end july or maybe august....certainly to 2.50, not sure about 2 quid

oh dear.....just when u think it cant get any worse!!
