Euro crisis or not, I'm going to stick my foot in the water and give the green thumb to Barclays. It's selling near tangible book and selling at a single digit earnings multiple. It has international exposure and operates in both commercial banking… More

Barclays has been lumped in with the rest of the financials as a risky bet. They've shorn up their balance sheet by selling divisions, they are not a member of the Eurozone (though they do have significant exposure there), and the bank is selling for .3x book value, 7.5x earnings, and comes with a 3.5% dividend. More upside than downside here.

Sold this the other day and tried to get back in, but wanted a price under $10.00.

I finally got it.

Have about 25% of what I want for the longer term and will look for market opportunities to lower my start price.

This, like lots of other banks, has been oversold and will pay off in the longer run for patient investors.

JMO and worth exactly what I am charging for it.

BCS is the GS of Britain. The most clever and the most ruthless of the big international british banks. I am scoreleader because i greenthumbed it close to the 2009 low -and closed that pick recently -in the beginning of august 2010.
