    For the loyal Barclays shareholder.

    Barclays (LSE: BARC.L - news) is another bank suffering from broker downgrades. Merrill Lynch (NYSE: MER - news) has trimmed its price target from 235p to 204p, while UBS (Virt-X: UBSN.VX - news) has slashed its price target for Barclays to 170p from 220p, citing dilution of shareholdings following the recently announced fund raising. Panmure Gordon rates the stock a "sell" and believes the boost to capital ratios has come at too high a cost.

  • 1 The profit after tax in 2010 will be the same as in 2007

    Does this guy not watch the news then. If anyone thought the same they'd be buying the shares

    His best case scenario is 11% yield in 2010 but I wonder if the markets predict zero yield

    Now 124.20, I hope the Barclays directors enjoy those bonuses.
