Barclays shares suspended after crashing due to bad debt fears.

Down from 800p to 450p in a few days.




FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS. IT'S GOING TO BE A BUMPY RIDE.

A friend of mine started to work for Barclays earlier this year, shortly followed by his attempts to continually sell Barclays products to everyone he knows (I hate people trying to sell to their friends like that).

Should be good fun at early doors tonight.

Exactly.

Barclays' exposure is in the US, which is a WHOLE lot worse.
