dr the new chairmans statement says one thing to me he says Jenkins is doing a good job if that is the case why are all pundits saying he as failed
2013 ceo statement
2014 ceo statement
2015 ceo statement

they are all the same read them no difference in any of them
2013 shareholders will be rewarded in 2014 then t 2015 now its 2016 nextyear will it be 2017,
then announce a change in ceo and we start again
let be honest dr Barclays is full of liars and crooks

You should sell up porty, it would save you (and us) from your frustrations.

As for McF - I have been an Aviva shareholder for a number of years, they were in turmoil under their former CEO. When he came in he sold off a lot of the underperforming units, and hired a new CEO who has made a huge improvement. The share price has roughly doubled there.

Then why oh why do you not simply sell your BARC stock and move on, Portside? Life's too short to waste your energies on hate and loathing.

dr they are not good and ever one on cnbc said the same
still paying out for the crooks in the bank and still paying the crooks
salaries and pensions .
they are sticking their two fingers up to us holders
they held the agm before the q1 because they new they were rotten

Results look OK to me. Litigation costs seem never ending though. Thats £2bn or so thats being handed over to regulators rather than shareholders. You can see why so many think banks are uninvestable due to "fine inflation".

Longer term it looks like the transform program is working and the costs are coming down. McFarlane took a lot of action to turn Aviva around fairly quickly. Hopefully he can do that here. He will certainly keep Jenkins on his toes.

just after 7am they said on cnbc could not see any point in holding this bank

[nsn0] 29/4/2015 15:31

Sorry pardon? You know this info from cnbc?

Material adjusting items:

-- Provisions of GBP2,050m (Q114: GBPnil) have been made for investigations and litigation primarily relating to Foreign Exchange. This includes additional provisions of GBP800m recognised in Q115

-- A GBP429m (Q114: GBPnil) gain was recognised as the valuation of a component of the defined retirement benefit liability was aligned to statutory provisions

-- An additional PPI redress provision of GBP150m (Q114: GBPnil) was recognised based on an updated estimate of future redress and associated costs

-- A GBP118m (Q114: GBPnil) loss primarily relating to accumulated currency translation reserves recycled upon the completion of the Spanish business sale

[portside1] 29/4/2015 14:03
