I just had an analyst with Barclays in my shop - being nosy as I am I asked him what his hot share tip would be and he replied -
Barclays
At 232
He said he's throwing the kitchen sink at it.
I'll buy tomorrow morning - just thought I'd pass it on.

I'm not generally a fan of the UK domestic banks. At the time of the GFC when Lloyds, RBS, Barclays etc were having a nightmare at least it didn't need a government rescue and relatively was better run than the other 2. I did actually buy some in the aftermath of the GFC and similarly for HSBC, just because they were so beat up and falls overdone. When the price rose I took profits and the last time I held them was 2011 and haven't really invested in them since. They seem to be in favour with many analysts at the moment, eg on Digital Look 18 out of 25 have it as a strong buy www.digitallook.com/equity/BarclaysOn the other hand for chartists/ technical analysts it comes up as a strong sell, still well below its historical moving averages in particular, suggesting the price momentum hasn't turned yet uk.investing.com/equities/barclays-technical?period=86400As an income stock I'd also like to see if it comes up in people in people like Neil Woodford's equity income portfolio, and it doesn't www.hl.co.uk/funds/fund-discounts,-prices--and--factsheets/search-results/c/cf-woodford-equity-income-accumulation Like Lloyds they've headwinds in coming years on the regulatory side though it's more international in nature. Banks have to hold more capital and that will reduce return on equity if you need to hold more equity to generate the same earnings. So worth a thought and the idea. It may well do fine from here. Just not something that appeals to me for long term and risk/reward and not a fan of the sector. |

I bought a wee bit this morning - nothing to break the bank. That's me into Lloyds and Barclays now - RBS is on the watch list.

Barclays are nothing more than effin predators.
They buy up smaller independant stockbroker types and reinvent them as Barclays Money or other such garbage.
They have an incestous relationship with their clientele, wow betide you if you dont have a non discretionary account.
They will sell all your stock, and dump it into the crap they peddle.
Never mind, school fees have to be paid and the latest Beemer has to be bought, its all about keeping up with the Somcahis in the leafy laned suburbs.
Nothing more than spivs, chivs and pikeys in suits.
