Harry re post 3823 - its getting closer!

Yes. I am keeping an eye on your chart, but not obvious as to why 40p is your target?

Just the early August big blue candle from just north of 40p down to @35p.

O.K. I saw that one, but tend to watch the candles on the way up, which have stalled during sept/oct/nov at approx 38p. But, I bow to your wisdom and would be VERY happy with 40p!

Just don't tell the Greeks!

Summary from Soc Gen:
"Lloyds our top pick. As the sector benefits from the continuing shrinkage of non-core assets and confidence-boosting ECB liquidity provisions, the focus should shift from balance sheet safety towards sustainable returns. Lloyds scores well on this front given its leading UK retail banking market share and limited exposure to investment banking. In addition, we think that seeing the CEO present results will help the market move on from his leave of absence last year. We see good long-term value in Barclays, but we note that other investment banks have highlighted that Q1 12 is still difficult; this may hurt the share price given that investment banking revenues tend to be the key sentiment swing factor on results days."

There's your 37p.

Go Harry.. for god sake go

Are the Greeks sorted? - FTSE on viagra atm.

Awesome! Still holding and wondering whether the BARC results tomorrow may give the banking sector a final boost. Pushing my luck probably, but so far so good!

QI from BoE I expect Skinny.

Do you mean QE ? That was an hour and a quarter ago.

Very very risky call Harry.. be it upon your own bonse then

Sorry yes.

Just sold mine for a nice profit. Hope to get back in on a retrace to 31p or so. H

why the crash?

Because Harry & me are still holding? Its hardly a crash - down 0.7%

but fallen 1p, from the peak?

36/37 has been a busy area chart wise. Only -0.3% now btw.

Got back from squash game to find someone mentioning 'crash'!!! Slightly overstated, imo!
