Advisors' Opinion:

  Trading at a discount
  The major U.K. banks have turned in some fantastic gains in share price over the past 18 months.Lloydsleads the pack by some considerable distance, with a 150% rise. But the 68%, 60%, and 42% rises recorded byBarclays (LSE: BARC  ) (NYSE: BCS  ) ,Royal Bank of Scotland, andHSBCrespectively are also pretty impressive.

  Most at risk are the money-! center banks that are primary dealers with the Federal Reserve. Those include not only the big four, but also Goldman Sachs (GS) and even foreign banks like Barclays (BCS) and UBS (UBS).

• [By George Acs]

  Barclays (BCS) is emblematic of what US banks went through a few years ago. The European continent is coming to grips with the realization that greater capitalization of its banking system is needed. Barclays got punished twice last week. First for suggesting that it might initiate a secondary offering to raise cash and then actually releasing the news of an offering far larger than most had expected. Those bits of bad news may be good news for those that missed the very recent run from these same levels to nearly $20. Shares will also pay a modest dividend during the August 2013 option cycle, but not enough to chase shares just for the dividend.
