Bye-bye Barclays

[pmeswani]

Just opened an account with Hargreaves Lansdown, am ready to take a punt on some bank shares, no more than £500 for now.

Am gonna be ready at stupid O clock in the morning to see the Barclays report and may dive in, but more likely will go for RBS and LBG.

With the price flatlined at 109.x, I wouldn't put money into Barclays. And with RBS on the verge of collapse, is it worth putting any money into their shares? Am not sure who LBG is, but ok.

Lloyds Banking Group, and this is short term positions, I would look for 20-50% gains and then dump them, just to see if I can come out ahead!!!

Yeh I jumped into RBS at 20p a few days ago - round about the 500 quid mark. Should have put the f***in house on, always the way!

Ive just gone into BARC again on a 12 month. Monday may see some movement but alot of the good news already is factored in over the past 2 weeks. With Barcs former Lehman outfit poised to make alot of money - it will be interesting times

The political class will make sure Barclays suffer for turning them down.

there is some truth in that - but money and payoffs are king

I've now made 16k since last week on Barclays.

Cant be bothered to read this thread. Just thought I'd share that with you.

I missed the boat on this, assuming all I want to do is buy and sell occassionaly can anyone recommend a website I can do this through ?

Well done that man!

Good for day-trading but so many unknowns that nationalisation could still happen. Just don't hold over a weekend.
