Barclays Crashes To 18-Month Lows

Tyler Durden's picture




 

First, it was gold manipulation and now alleged equity market rigging; it seems investors (and customers) have finally had enough. Barclays stock price is down over 8% today and trading back at 18 month lows. Of course, we will hear that this is the kitchen sink quarter etc... "remember the London Whale" but the trail of alleged fraud (and the damning emails) suggests catching this falling knife is anything but a "no brainer"...

You have to feel sorry for the people at Barclays who are NOT sub-human, dishonest, cheating sacks of crap.

So if we find any of those good people at Barclays, we'll let you know.  So far, nothing.

Shareholders are pissed they will have to foot the bill for any of the upper managements' 'wrongdoings' I suspect.

Hardly.  Shareholders upset that they got caught, not they that comitted wrongdoings.  Shareholders actively support and encourage cheating, stealing, lying and anything else illegal or underhanded that can be done to prop up share prices.  What they don't support is getting caught.

Shareholders are passive participants in the management looting and scamming.   As a shareholder you want the best sociopaths to run the place because they'll maximize the screwing (well, fucking) of the customers and employess to extract the most loot possible for the company.   The shareholders get what's left after management screws the customers and employess AND the shareholders.   It's a win win for everybody that matters.

Barclays. you are a British company and no one cares if you go out of business.  Now if you had been a big US bank, all your sins would have been forgiven.

Say hi to Prince Charles and I am hoping as he is that he is reincarnated as a tampon.

In case you missed it yesterday, more Barclays fuel for the fire..in the UK, whistle blower they just outright sold to any buyer confidential client information, not once but over and over and over to include medical information mortgage information and more. 

http://ducknetweb.blogspot.com/2014/02/barclays-brokers-caught-selling.html

Now if you want to read some  more bullshit on the health care front, the hospital now buying consumer data from Axciom data broker and soon will have doctors rummaging through your Visa and MasterCard data to see what you are buying...insurers are already doing this and it's spreading.  I'm all over this one to members of Congress, the FTC and more.  It's the algo duping of the healthcare world, just like the cheating in the trader world. 

People just believe any old frigging stats and numbers tossed in their faces, and this is wrong and doctors don't want to be reduced to digging through your MasterCard and Visa records either to see if you bought a Hershey bar.  I'm telling you have some really stupid duped people out there.

Sorry sorry state of all of the Euro banks when they've had so much free money thrown at them and their share prices are in the shitter.

Folks, like the bookies the markets aren't often that wrong with their prices (apart from when real fear hits, then fundamentals count for nothing).
