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

skin be mistake in my view .

You may well be right - but I've seen profit on these almost evaporate a couple of times since buying. On my 3 purchases, I've made on average +54 points - AND its banked - as I've said I may buy back on any retracement.

skin buy CEY and look at q3 monday dont miss the train it moves quite fast.

skin look at pog then look at cey

205 and fund managers have not bought yet

good news from the states

there are billions going to in to the market next month

now 213p incredible.

Has Tanker made an offer or something?

i have said i have more shares than most of the board

.

nice to see some profit takers then we can move on

Described on the BBC as a 'relief rally' which will probably run out of steam when the euphoria is over. I agree with Skinny - a profit is only realised when banked. Friday p.m. sell off or .........? Short covering but I bet they haven't lost faith yet. Don't get too greedy Tanker! ;o)

harry its a game i do not need any money .
looking forward to the sun tomorrow and seating monday
morning in the sun watching moneyam.and cey has well

easy cash imo

P & Q :-)

lol yes skinny :-)

interesting news on the imf and others out i see

FT Alphaville are hinting that BARC figures next week may disappoint.
Might just be the shorters being vindictive!

PI figures from the Yanks @1:30 and Michigan sentiment I believe @3pm - I've got a limit buy in - but not holding my breath.

Barclays PLC - Interim Management Statement

"I am pleased with the performance we have delivered for the first nine months of the year, with profit before tax exceeding GBP5bn, despite significant economic and market headwinds. These results demonstrate the continued progress towards our 2013 goals through building momentum across retail and corporate banking businesses and strong relative performance by Barclays Capital in difficult market conditions. Our focus on cost reduction continues to deliver results and we are confident that we will exceed the GBP1bn savings target we set earlier this year.

Our profits before tax have been generated equally across our retail and investment banking businesses, showing the diversity and balance of Barclays. Rock solid capital, funding, and liquidity have been maintained. We will continue to generate sufficient capital for our business needs and do not intend to raise new equity capital. We remain committed to lending in the UK and are on track to exceed our Merlin goals."
