Out of interest what online share trading/brokerage services do you use?

I'm very out of touch as I stopped holding shares quite a while ago and I might just take a punt on this one.

But Barclays don't need a bailout, they didn't ask for one. They. Are. Profitable.

And yes, they will have to write down assets, which is why I waited until they were at a P/E of about 2.5 before I bought.

Didn't they get a bailout (sorry cash injection) from the Arabs?

Same tune, different piper?

More a case of different tune, different piper.
The Arabs want to make money, not run the bank for political reasons.
That's my point, Barclays is not equal to Lloyds or RBS.

be honest theres not much between them....LOL ironically Barclays have a good platform.

But my preference is CFD's rather than actual shares - or spreads.
