Well, Your Master just bailed to the (G) Fund as the Jedi are looming
and the force is strong in them. I believe a better entry point awaits
the Empire and when it does, we'll own the power and lift the charts
back up to where they are now. A pre-election rally is not likely to
last beyond the weekend. That means a move today before its to late.
May the Jedi raise the bar today and bring us much joy. For I will see
this level again, but without a loss of power to rise up and conquer.
Thanks Kevin ! You've been talking to my wife too much ! My nickname
at work is "Slappy" (don't ask) so I've been hearing Pappy-slappy all night
long from my fellow officers. Thats right, the wife spilled the beans and I
paid for it dearly. Geeeeez, I'm starting to have an identity crisis. :laugh:

You're still Squealbear in my book, Congrats my friend, your reward for not killing your teenager is at hand. Enjoy and be blessed!
Is that nickname related to a Wild Stool Pigeon. If the guys called
me Squealbear at work, it would hold a whole new meaning.:nuts: Thanks
for the Congrats, I truly have been blessed. O/D UPDATE NEXT !

Pesqual is a GOOD GUY!!
Why thank you Norm, just don't call me "latefordinner" :toung:
I'm thinking that greed will lead to loss. I caught some profit
with the measley 31% I had at risk. I also coped a few pennies
more by doing a rebalancing act on the way down. Cramer says
Hogs get slaughtered. I truly wanted to stay in for friday, but
if there's going to be some profit taking, before the weekend
has been the trend. The Pre-Election Rally came thru for us.
But the election itself holds many unanswered questions. The
market wants a republican and the street wants a democrat.
I think the Street will win that battle and the market will react
to their disappointment. Some ugly economic reports will only
add fuel to the fire. Some earnings reports will come in nicely,
however, its their future outlook that the market will consider.
So far, those have been ugly. The P&F Chart is also calling for
a drop to around 860. So you see my friend, even if I miss the
possible rallies on Friday or Monday, I will fear no pain. But my
gut was telling me jump ship for a better entry point and lock
in those gains. Time will most certainly tell all. Good luck.
Barclays to raise up to $11.9 billion
By Steve Goldstein, MarketWatch
Last update: 5:17 a.m. EDT Oct. 31, 2008
LONDON (MarketWatch) - Barclays on Friday struck a deal to raise up to 7.3 billion pounds ($11.9 billion) in fresh capital as the U.K. lender signaled its preference for cash from Middle Eastern royal families to the British government. Barclays Last: 13.61+1.41+11.56% 4:00pm 10/30/2008
BCS said it's issuing 3 billion pounds of notes that carry a 14% coupon to Qatar Holding, a state-backed investment vehicle, and Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family. The notes will carry options for the issue of up to 3 billion pounds at a price of 197.775 pence a share. Barclays also said it's issuing 2.8 billion pounds of mandatorily convertible notes to Qatar, Qatar Holding's Chairman Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani, and Al Nahyan, as well as up to 1.5 billion pounds to existing institutional shareholders.
The convertibles will have a coupon of 9.75% and will convert into equity at a price of 153.276 pence. Depending on conversion rates, Al Nahyan may become Barclays top shareholder with a 16.3% stake and Qatar may become number-two with a 12.7% stake. The capital raising announced today enables Barclays to meet the capital issuance plan agreed with the U.K. authorities following the decision by the FSA to increase the capital ratio requirements for all U.K. banks," said CEO John Varley. The British government earlier this month required U.K. lenders to boost their capital either on their own accord or through government injections. The deal may take Barclays's Tier One ratio up to 11.3%. Shares of Barclays climbed 10% to 225 pence in early London action.
Alongside the capital raise, it released results saying nine-month pretax profit was slightly ahead of last year. Impairment charges grew at a similar rate as during the first half. During the third quarter, it's going to take a write-down of 1.2 billion pounds. That will be offset by a 1.1 billion pound gain due to the changes in the value of its own debt; however, during October, that gain was virtually erased by a 1 billion pound move in the other direction. Barclays said it's planning to resume dividend payments in the second half of 2009.
