Tanker, Good decision.

The price of detached house are slightly higher than semi, so you get much more value for the additional price.

People do not realize the value of privacy and independence.

Investec note:
While Barclays shares have underperformed, tumbling 20% since 2 March, Blackrock, (19.7% owned by Barclays), closed at a near 10-month high of US$205 on 30 March – up 15% in the quarter. This alone adds 5p to the Q1 tNAV per share that Barclays will print on 26 April, helping to offset a partial reversal of 2011 FVOOD gains. Factor in a resurgent Q1 performance in Barcap, and Barclays looks a little cheap at 0.5x 2011 tNAV. Despite a weak RoE outlook, (hence our unchanged 240p TP), we upgrade back to Buy.

We forecast Barcap revenues of £11.1bn in 2012E vs consensus of £10.9bn and a 2011 outturn of £10.3bn. However, given Bob’s “promise” of a positive Q1/Q1 result, if Barcap were to achieve close to £3.6bn in Q1 (2011 Q1: £3.4bn), £2.5bn per quarter for the remainder of 2012E would appear eminently attainable, notwithstanding a highly challenging economic outlook, and we should then see modest consensus upgrades. After the grim reality of the 2011 results season where 4 out of 5 UK banks missed market expectations, this would represent something of a rare commodity in the sector! (An extended period of elevated impairments in Spain is already in our numbers and, we believe, in consensus.

one problem ever thing that B DIAMOND has said is crap .and lies
the man is dishonest and since he took the helm the bank as sunk to new lows
and not just the sp . it time for him to be sacked as a fraud

.

mna .is statement i am pleased with our performance well as a holder i am not
the only people getting anything out of this bank over the last 5 years is the
directors . and the SP was 700p now 218p if he is pleased he must be a nutter

and the divs are rubbish .

I will be at the AGM with a lot of other unhappy holders ,

.

I have spoken to barcs who phoned me . and they could NOT answer any of my questions . and said they have never seen any of the board never met any one .
and agreed with my views
