A good Buy Medium to Long term

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.

Also France and Switzerland

our uk banks have lending exposure of 14,060 million

our government debt to Greece 3,408 million

I bet the individual banks will not publish debt exposure to Greece . I bet thats deep in the bank safes, out of view.

It appears UK banks have huge Greece exposure in CDS's (credit default swaps).

Found some figures,as at 24th May 2011

Uk bank exposure to Greece as at 24th May 2011


HSBC 800 million euro


Barclay's 388 million euro

RBS 1088 million euro

All with 1% exposure and 0% of assets

dream on that understates the problem by a mile.

halifax,

the problem that barcs has is BOB DIAMOND or should we say walter mitty diamond .
the seminar tsaid it all the man is useless and dishonest to investors

there are better bankers in jail or working in factorys than these muppets .
question is barcs MANIPULATING THE SP for there bonus shares .
the company under DIAMOND has lost over 35% in 6 months
and he has not opened is mouth

rumour is diamond going to resign
