    If you are "sure" that Barclays share price could be going south soon, why would be a good punt to buy it? Surely it would be one to avoid for now, based on your own projection, of its price going downwards? Why buy it?
    Can't fault your logic, which is probably clearer than OP's - if I remember correctly he/she is an ex Barclays employee with a massive axe to grind and keen to slate them at every opportunity, so this is probably just another excuse to steer a thread towards that particular vendetta....

    With regards day trading, I will elaborate, If see a bargain, say a share price suddenly drops, I may buy some.

    Surely you should be trying to identify bargains where the share price has the potential to rise. Rather than chasing ambulances to the hospital.
