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

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

Conclusion from latest Evo note:
"Although we see no downside risk after the recent correction (our TP is 322p), we reiterate our Sell on Barclays. The upside is limited, and substantially less than the upside of every other UK bank (LLOY TP 107p, RBS TP 61p, STAN TP 2295p, HSBC TP 837p). Regulation remains a major threat. We strongly believe that BARC will miss its 15% RotE target. And we would prefer to stay on the sidelines until the rights issue is out of the way."

diamond must go

Based on....? I suspect because you have been buying at a higher price than currently available. Your (notional) losses now looking large based on your earlier posts.

harry based on tsince he took over the SP keeps falling .
that says the man is a loser .
it also begs the question if they are paying there top bankers top
dollar then we are being told LIES .
top people .
and the sp tells investors that they are not that good .
you can see why pension funds are crap
these so called fund managers never say anything
glad i did not put my cash in there hands

any one putting money in to a pension are fools
they will get no return the only one who will benefit is the useless fund managers

I now have had a reply from barc and will have a answer by friday .

reply from investors relations at barc .
it has good has said private investors do not matter that is how i read it .
the pay and bonuses of the board are paramount .
investors do not matter

a child of two could of given a better reply .
the company is starting to stink

the ivestors relations seminar yesterday was just a jolly for the board .

CNBC pundit says UK banks have the largest exposure to a default by Greece, do we believe it?

Which ones? I doubt LLOY. Probably BARC. I thought RBS only had EIRE exposure and not other sub AAA European countries.
