The banks are probably at the bottom now so yes.All other shares,consider in the new year.
Barclay's seek approval for fund raising this week.Nat west might have nervous slide as the market waits to see just how many of the shares the government will own.So after right issue closes.
During the year 2009 RBS will be making disposal to raise cash,and each bit of news will raise the SP.
l would say a full 2 year and preferably 3 before selling.Look to sell Bar clays at 500p and RBS at 300p.A sure fire winner in the medium term |

Barclays share is cheap and good buy now.It has just recapitalised its Balance Sheet as required by the UK regulatory body.FSA from its foreign investors from the Middle East. In addition of having a clean and strong Balance Sheet, it also has a forward looking and conservative Board and management team. Currently it is exploring and expanding both locally and overseas. It is one of the top British multinational bank in the world. |

Probably Right

If you can afford it real estate is a great thing to invest in at the moment. Although it could take 5 years or more for us to bounce back people are predicting.
But do the research on the company. You have to know about their market and how it is going to be affected. There is a big risk because things are still fluctuating and the market is still volatile. But if you have the money to invest and it won't hurt you it could prove very lucrative. |

I think so. You'll reap the benefit it a few years just like you said. A lot of people pull their shares out when the market goes like this but the best thing to do is buy more. That way you get more for your money and when they go back up it will be really worth it. |

Yes, but make sure it's a company that you believe can make lots of money in the future. |

I Buy And Sell Houses

Just because something's cheap doesn't mean it's a good value. There are plenty of stocks that dropped by half and appeared cheap...before going bankrupt and their stocks ended up worth absolutely nothing.
I don't specifically know about Barclays. But I would not, under any circumstances, buy any stock in any bank, financial institution, or financial service sector company right now. They're cheap for a reason: The financial sector has collapsed. Some companies will survive. Many will not.
Hope that helps. |

pls dont buy share at this moment, because the finance crisis only just start. world GDP also will keep negetive more then 3 years, do u think this is good time to buy the share. now, uk FTSE will go <2000 at 12 month, do u think u will got profit at this time, u think u self? i can coment u buy some gold if u got extra money, because gold price will growing more then 10 times at 60 month. |

Have to be careful with the economy so shaky i'd wait till it picks up a little and gets stronger, you'll lose a little but it'l be worth it to see if the economy callapses |

Cheap is only cheap until it goes cheaper.
As others have mentioned, be careful buying things that appear to be cheap when compared to previous values. There's a reason for it.
A good rule of thumb is to look at a graph of prices for the investment that you are considering. Plot varying averages of the prices over a long period of time, say 50 days and 200 days. If the 50 day plot is below the 200 day plot, then prices are heading lower and are not a good buy. On the other hand, if the 50 day is above the 200 day, then prices are rising over time and make a better bet. Sure, there's no guarantee that this process will work every time, but it puts the odds more into your favor.
Looking at Barclay (BCS) I see that the above conditions point out that prices are dropping, which is obvious. Should you consider yourself aggressive, you can adjust the averaging periods downward to say 10 and 20. Just remember that picking bottoms is the quickest way to lose capital!
Otherwise, you might as well buy lottery tickets... |

20 years ago, "buy and hold" had relevance. Today, I can't in good conscience recommend it. We have as wide and deep of financial instability as the world has experienced in the last 50-plus years. That is a serious situation. The market is swinging in any given day as much as it moved in a week, month, or years throughout its history. Recommending someone buy and hold in that environment, is therefore tough, without knowing your risk tolerance, your age, your goals. For my parents, near their 80s, an annuity makes sense. They have enough to live on with that set-up as long as the integrity of their annuity remains intact. For someone younger, I would be less inclined to recommend a mutual fund as I would someone who has demonstrated the ability to discern the market opportunities and take advantage of them once they turn. That individual/company would be Ken Heebner with CGMFX fund. If you check out his past 10 years record, you'll see why. I would not go "all in" - as the market could still drop into the 600s, even the 400s. And there is no guarantee - regardless of what people say - that the market will make a sweeping leap up to its former levels in one or two days. That is highly unlikely, because, as stated above, the stability of the financial markets is not there, and that will not soon go away to get everyone off the sidelines.
All the best with your plans |

buy and hold does not work anymore. if you buy they have to pay more than 6% dividends and have no debt. |

What good reasons do you have to believe that company will be making good money in the near future to make their stock double or triple?
Unless you have a good answer for that you don't know that they might make less money and the stock will go down.
If you don't have an answer to that question you shouldn't buy at this time or anytime. |
