Agree with RBS - not IF, rather "when"

However, with Barclays, do things look better-ish, even although Markets are rarely "wrong" - could the fall be "in sympathy" - or is this Market Update not yet fully accounted? . . . they did borrow Middle-East money at a high interest-rate.
If BARC can tell us:- "it will be OK" -why can't they give us the figures? I guess it has to go through the Auditors and then printing etc. etc.

At sub-1, is BARC the bargain many thought LLOYs was a couple of years ago....?
-If so, why the further fall today. . . . . . the Market doesn't believe anything Banks tell us.

When does the dramatic fall in bank shares constitute a disorderly market and the LSE step in?

Well its fallen 25% a day for 3 days now its time somebody did something because another 25% will be final.

Halifax, can you explain "disorderly market"
-in particular how it might relate to the Banking-Sector, since other sectors appear OK.
Mitzy, what do you mean by final...a sp can halve again... and again....

I still think BANKS are down as shareholders realise there can be no dividend for the forseeable future - maybe 1p just before 2012....?

hangon if you don't know what a disorderly market is please go back to school.

Barclays is going into freefall again for relying on Arab money. Dubai in trouble now.

Is this worth buying back at some stage for a mini rebound ?, gone from 200p to 55p in freefall !.

I don't know about you but, I've got the bid higher than the offer...this on BARC...incredible !.

You never know, but Mr Warren Buffett might step in on one or two banks !.

At some point I would think a mini rebound will happen, but would have to be nimble to take advantage. I'm looking at lloy because I most stupidly still hold some, and may see some weakness here like yesterday, but same could apply to barc.

I'm waiting for 40p and a 40% bounce to 56p.

The difference between BARC and LLOY is the government's 43% shareholding in LLOY. Which share would we prefer to own undoubtedly BARC?

BARC is the better of the two.

Bought in on the drop this morning,....rebound on the way !.

bottled it - in @48 out@65.9 but a profit is a profit and i cant spend all day watching the screen. only 2nd profitable play of year so far out of 7. :)

Same here, but not such a wide spread !.

how can you knock a banked profit of 30%?

I think that the answer to that is called "hysteria !"

The chart suggests more falls to come no position here.
