Quote of the Day

"Barclays' share price has fallen again today. At the current price of 90p, this bank's entire market value is £7.5bn. And remember, this is a bank that said on Friday night that its profits for 2008 were considerably more than £5.3bn. In other words, investors currently value this giant international bank at a little over one year's profits. Which is little short of extraordinary."
