Yes, or maybe the Portuguese whose 10 yr bond rate is currently +15%. I wonder if stocks are getting a bit ahead of themselves now and march is going to see a correction, particularly with the banks (& euro exposure)?

Unfortunately many of us have short memories - another week or so like last week and it will all be forgotten - until......

I wonder if it might be best to get out ahead of the BARC results later in the week?

What part of the result can disappoint or beat?

Merrill Lynch are expecting poor BARC results. Have posted on the BARC thread.

Any thoughts from a charting perspective, skinny? 37p looks to be about the max to hope for with no break through the 200 DMA?

Harry - with so much in the way of banks reporting in the next couple of weeks - I don't know how much credence we should give to the charts - I'm still long here and RBS - I'm currently not in BARC - which I may regret come Friday!

I'm still long LLOY BARC & RBS from last Thursday, but watching carefully.

Greeks won't decide what to do until tomorrow now, so immediate pressure off for the moment. Would be happy with 37p, I think.

Lloyds Banking Group rose 0.91 to 35.3p. According to some, the part-nationalised lender benefited from reports that Tesco has delayed the launch of its current account banking service until next year. The news is a blow to Government attempts to reduce the dominance of Britain's big four high street banks.

Just nudged over 36p! Think I will hang on to see what happens this morning. Very good volume already!

Still creeping in the right direction! And still hanging on to my stock, though finger poised over the sell button!

Cheers Stan. I agree with that. I wish those bl**dy greeks would sort themselves out. If they get another bailout, all banks should see a rise in their sp's, imo. If they default, then down we go! My feeling is that they will get more money, but.....who knows?
