The engines have fired up at last for MDX. ( BPRG ) At long last they are being recognised for the force they will become over the next two years. On the cusp of disclosing huge revenue-earning deals with Global pharmacists. These have been hinted at as being unrolled before the years end, but may be in the next days.You still have time to get in at a bargain-basement price before the SP takes off for real shortly.

Just a few billion brain cells , nothing you need worry about.

Needed or short?

Of course Barclays aren't dead. Don't be a silly Chilli.

They're one of the strongest banks out there. They haven't needed to, nor have they taken the same sort of risks as many of their peers because their asset base is that much stronger.

HilaryI do not have a punt long or short barcthey have refused government help and stated they will raise over 7bn from investment funds of Qatar and Abu Dhabijust to maintain bonuses me thinksthat will give middle east investors around a 1/3 stake the deal was said to be more costly than the governmentsBarclays which has so far snubbed any state aid has been dogged by fears that it will need to raise more funds or sell a stake to the Governmentit will happen I believethey are the least transparent British Bank and I ask myself whyyou pays your moneyyou takes your chanceit is most definitely the swerve for meremember I am usually lucky?

Chilli,

I don't have a position in Barclays either, but my post was in response to your comment that they're dead. Sure they may well have exposure to toxic debt that hasn't been revealed just yet.

But they are not reliant upon the money markets for day to day liquidity in the same way as some of the smaller, aggressively expanding lenders were. They didn't need to be, simply because there is/was adequate cover there in the first place. They were therefore relatively unaffected when supply in the markets dried up.

So I don't really see why Middle Eastern money should be a problem. I would've thought it more likely that they'll use it pick up some cheap bargains when the market turns rather than need it for survival in the meantime.

It may seem amazing to you (highly likely actually), but my foray into banks last year was naturally stopped out. The bounce last month was well taken as was yesterday's early morning one. Net result to me personally was a gain that was 11.4x the loss suffered when stopped out.

Now I bet you wish you'd done the same thing instead of weeping into your Kleenex over MDX.

ROFLMAO!

As for you comments above on banks ....................... clown every time you attempt to show any understanding of how it all works. ;-))

Skinned you, numb nuts. LOL! You are so easy. No wonder it's light relief for many to turn up on here and get you going.

So tell us. What's your plan to recoup your losses here? We'd love to know. ;-))

Or are you still sticking to the "embezzlement" angle? Diddums!

Very worrying, Chilli, and also extremely unlikely. Fortunately, I haven't got a clue what you're going on about.
