barclays will ge coming out with trading update on 07.05.2009 It is expected to report profits higher than market expectations.

A good Buy Medium to Long term

Without wishing to put CC's long under pressure, picking up BARC at circa 260p would be ideal, imo. (Shame that would also drag down LLOY of which I seem to have far too many!)

why is THAT muppet M KING being paid to control inflation .
for the last 2 years it as been well over target and he just says it will fall .
so will the savers then the uk has bigger problems .

banks could have further troubles ahead

the buy of 32379 at2.698387 was mine cost 87822

What's the relevance of that?

i added 32.379 shares in these because they are cheap

only budgerigars go cheep, as they say

cynic i am looking at 400p by year end

Think 300+ might be more realistic imo.,.

ok 399p

remember the agm BD stated returns to poor and he will put that right

added yesterday at 269p now 279p only added 32.379 should of bought double that my mistake but have topped up again today

my buy yesterday is up 3400 pounds

Sub 270p ....AGAIN!!!!

Approaching 260p, which looks like good support, though sp should also suffer in the short term if Bob Diamond's plans to buy some of the ailing spanish Cajas come to fruition.

have just added 12309 at 265p

diamond has only got 6 months left to return good value to holders is words not mine
that was is speech at agm .

bob diamond will be the new WALTER MITTY if he does not get holders returns up

To be able to buy BARC sub 260p has got to be worth it??? DOW may make that possible today, imo.

bob diamond said banks have to pay the top bankers top money to keep and get the
best people . well bob you must be liar because you have been paying these muppets
for years so why are the banks in the shit . barclays will not reply to E MAILS
about the poor performance of there bank .they ignore holders
they are only interested in there own pockets .


if these people running barcs are the best then god help the banks
