Bashing Barclays

Barclays' share price is in a clear downtrend and offers a good short selling opportunity
June 13, 2012

Bank your shares in Barclays, says Marcus Bullus at www.mbcapital.co.uk.

With concerns both over contagion in Europe and which banks are exposed to what risks, Barclays offers an attractive reward-to-risk opportunity to short-sellers.

Granted, Barclays has already fallen a long way from its year-to-date highs. However, in light of the current market conditions and the price failing to get back above its 50-day exponential moving average (EMA), traders should sell short, placing a stop above that EMA.
