portside1/Ken -hope you are both well.

portside1 -though sometimes abrasive in style it must be said your position regards the BOD and their execution over the years has been quite proper. I hope you're leveraging that insight to your fiscal benefit.

cynical results announcement yesterday, non core making qtr loss impact, £1bn restructure announcement, weak oct for ib, all lead to share decline to give new ceo cheaper price for options at start of dec and allow him to make doubling share price in 3 years easier. total manipulation when the core business is doing very well

McFarlane said key for Barclays was three priorities - a focus on core segments and markets, generating shareholder value, and instilling a 'high performance' culture with strong ethical values.

Do you have to be so direct?...

Good to see this thread has some really intelligent and unemotional contributors.
Can anyone suggest a better thread to cover this company?

Barclays is Footsie laggard as third quarter profit takes hit

MC just made some noises at the time of Jenkins departure to preserve his credibility....what did MC say about doubling the share price?...or else will he be sacking himself?....I think he will cleverly facilitate one of the US banks take out Barc....

What? They recently raised capital.

I wish they would just get on and raise some capital

[ards] 29/10/2015 14:07

what a dire statement. cant really see much good apart from no increase in ppi provisions. massive restructuring costs and fx costs. we knew about fx but the restructuring costs seem new to me. i agree uninvestable as corporate coms so poor and technically looks weak so closed bet. the british political establishment are pathetic and have made the banks so afraid of their own shadows they will soon be bit players on the world stage. hsbc already calling in the removal guys. advise guys to take a look at us banks particularly bac which has just broking 200ma and good entry at 16.30

[bookbroker] 29/10/2015 13:59

I wish they would just get on and raise some capital, or speed up the disposal of risk-weighted assets!

Barclays ‘cost under control’ boast comes back to haunt its shares

Like I said from the start, reach for the door, open the door, bail out of door. Only the blind can't see where the handle to the door is.
