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

Rumour where?

Post 209 -):

Hmmmm :-)

-anker you heard it here first.

when is diamond stepping down.
the man is less than useless
and all he said at the AGM was untrue

have been told barc to annouce 3.9b profit on aug 2nd

So Bob D isn't that useless after all?

harry sorry for the late reply .
diamond told the agm a load of bollocks read is statement
the man is not honest
holders returns are not good enough well since he took over the company as lost over 33 percent of its value .
diamond is a walter mitty and sholud be hounded out .
he has no morals at all .
remember is statement back in feb the same rubbish .
the only people getting any thing out of barclays is the board .

so it goes to show the world that these so called top bankers are
only good when it is easy and are just normal people and not worth any more than
a tradesman diamond is just a muppet .
in 0708 you could not get himof the tv since 08 we have had a job to find the man
it proves that he is dishonest and should resign

Hmmmm.

Time to buy soon....
