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

barcs exposure to greece is very very low. and been getting lower by the month.
same in spain

170p was a sell for a lot of small punters now they have gone the next leg up

But when it goes and the FTSE falls big Barc will also be dragged down with everything else. Little good news on the horizon, but up to you if you feel investing is right good luck. I will continue to short Banks.

Its a struggle.

I would say if you are prepared to tuck this one away for the next five years then now would be a good time to buy, by then it should be 450p

bernie covering his arse!

No just being sensible, pity you have done your savings investing in banks.

he as is views and that is what makes life good .
it would be crap if we all thought the same

the 500.000 buy was not mine

B/M you have to take my e mails that spell and look silly sometimes because i
have terrible tinitus and lose the plot it drives me mad the noise is arwful and when i lie down it gets worse going back to hospital soon and the doc as given me sleeping tablets now to sleep .

Sorry to hear that Tank but you seem a jolly person with, a positive attitude.

yes but i do emails that dont make sense sometimes the constant noise
makes it impossible to keep my head on what i am doing this is a struggle today it is bad i normaly go to the pub now and have 6 or 7 pints then get home about 8.30 and it puts me to sleep but the doc as said no beer and given me tablets to make me sleep till i see them at the hospital i would not wish this on any one

Tank. I hold these and have bought upwards of 140. However I will have a 10 bet and give you odds of 10-1 that your last post will not happen by 31.10.11. Gotta be worth a tenner?

Tank is dreaming but then i do the lottery every week with about the same odds.

b/m we should now leave the EU it is going to split up
the gravetrain is coming to a full stop

That will not happen, the UK needs to stop kissing USA ass, far better to kiss ass of China.

b/m my MP mark prithard want a vote on the EU 120 tory MPs back him .
and the latest news from fairy land will turn more of our party to want out

has for giving benefits to any one who wants to come to the uk .
is not on and the tax on trades is a non starter.
it is going to split the EU big time .
does it mean that if i go to live in spain that i can get nhs and see
a doctor it is free then why when i go on hols and have to see a doc
he wants money off me first . is it illegal under EU law

HSBA have been marked down 22p and the trades are almost even

Quarter end book balancing maybe BARC -4.3% STAN -6% HSBA -4.3%
