"our own economic research is very clear about the advantages of Britain being at the heart of a reformed EU."

Aye, but it isn't, is it, and it never will be. Certainly if we vote to stay in, that will be the signal to the eurocrats that they can do whatever they want with little fear of repercussions via any democratic process. Ironically, a 'leave' vote might be the catalyst to jolt them into real reform.

Not for much longer.

I am not sure who he thinks he is but I can tell you he is the president of the United States of America

There we have it direct from obamas mouth. If uk vote to leave the uk would be at the back of the queue for any trade dealsDespite our special relationship. Who the hell does he think he is. After we have all suffered due to the banking collapse that they caused.

[marko1961] 22/4/2016 13:12

That quite clearly is a sell signal should the vote be to leave

AGM Statement -

Re dividend...
"we are ever more conscious of the importance of our dividend to shareholders and in 2015 HSBC represented the second largest dividend payer in the FTSE and the third largest dividend payer amongst banks globally."

"Our objective is clearly to build on this strong history but as I said in my statement accompanying the Annual Report and Accounts for 2015, prospective dividend growth will be dependent upon the long-term overall profitability of the Group and delivering further release of less efficiently deployed capital."

Re EU referendum...
"So maybe this is the right point to say a few words around the Referendum to clarify our position.

HSBC is not affiliated to either campaign. Nor will we be making a donation to either side. It is not appropriate for us to be drawn into a political debate that goes far beyond economics. Ultimately, the question of how to vote is a question for the British people.

However on the economic arguments, our own economic research is very clear about the advantages of Britain being at the heart of a reformed EU.

From our own narrow perspective, a decision to leave could require a restructuring of some of HSBC's wholesale operations based in the UK. This would clearly depend upon the terms on which the UK would have access prospectively to European markets should the UK vote to leave. We have a major bank in France so have the option to move some staff currently in London to Paris if required.

The more important and unquantifiable risk arises from the potential impact on our customers. We believe that the UK would enter a period of great economic uncertainty in the event of a vote to leave and should the UK economy slow and economic conditions deteriorate as our research suggests, in at least the short to medium term, this would affect many of our customers in the UK and the economic environment we operate in. This is likely to have a negative impact on HSBC."

I would be quite happy to open this up to see what others think

[marko1961] 21/4/2016 17:58

Stevenrevell. Here is my reasoning. Interest rate have gone down from zero to negative, PE ratios are somewhat lofty now . And good old china. Not only it is slowing down. It hit a brick wall many quarters ago. I for one dont believe a single word that they come out with. I have some nice shorts built up over recent months and all doing nicely. I have also bought some shares to keep. And bought and flipped some for a quick profitI would urge caution just be careful and dont be greedy. I have a moto. Leave some for the next man. ie when im happy with my profit i get out. It has worked for me for years.

[marko1961] 21/4/2016 14:21

Soz i have been keeping a close eye on my short on next.

[marko1961] 21/4/2016 14:18

[ribblewader] 20/4/2016 07:45

Maz, click on Maita name and look at when the last posting was. You could also look at my BAE thread......RW

[mazarin] 19/4/2016 21:30

Maita - forgive the question, but are you still holding HSBC or even monitoring this thread? Your last entry in your 'header intro' appears to be related to events of 2014 and is now out of date.

[marko1961] 18/4/2016 08:22

Excuse the typo. That was target of £4.40

[marko1961] 18/4/2016 08:09

When this shareprice was £6.00 i had a target of £4.44. Having looked at the charts i can see that is has crossed under and over the £4.40. 8 times now i think the downside is now limited so the time has come to buy a few and keep doing so on any weakness

[garycook] 17/4/2016 04:07

Graham,You are correct received £1386.49 in Dividends for 2015.This year with sterling averaging around 143 GBP/USD,and HSBA yielding atm just under 8%,and could be paying dividends on a average of 35.66 on 51c.I should receive appox £1.500,for 2016,if the GBP stays weaker this year against the USD.

[marko1961] 16/4/2016 18:47

Ok point taken grahamburn. I agree this has taken too much time on this board. I for one will get back to hsbc talk only. You have a good day. And good luck with your share dealing. Apologies to you sir

[grahamburn] 16/4/2016 18:42

Just for the record, I did NOT say that I wouldn't send/post on a public bulletin board a financial document.

I went one step further. I said I would not disclose how many - or indeed, IF, - I owned, purchased, sold, stuffed under a mattress, shares in any company. If I did divulge such information, then it would be impossible to hide the amount I had received in dividends.

THAT is the point I was making - in addition, of course, to the one that it is pointless cluttering up a bulletin board with the type of exchange that has dominated this board in the recent past.

Proper informed debate and discussion would be preferred.
