Thanks tornado and wadders for your reply, I thought I remembered seeing around £4.25 but wasn’t sure. Like you I might hold off adding yet as it may drop under £4.

Worth clearing the cache, switching on and off again, re-setting the router, etc, etc. Apologies if trying to teach granny how to suck eggs ;-)

cheers - must be my connection then - odd as other sites working fine. It's working on mobile phone though.

[mister md] 20/5/2022 14:39

HSBC have paid dividend, but not capital return.

[cyberian] 20/5/2022 13:30

tornado...agree to a large extent but China is key as supply chain has been seriously disrupted but there are signs that China is starting to adopt a more realistic approach to Covid developments. This should help calm inflation and separately Russia may start to re-dress its original aims on Ukraine and settle for less....economic and political isolation is not in their longer term interest. I maybe wrong in my optimism but we will just have to see how things pan-out over the next few weeks.

Barclays just paid the capital return!!!

[wadders5] 20/5/2022 13:06

If you had 1000 shares you now have 760 shares and £1,016.90. So £1016.90/240=£4.237.So if you buy back for £4.237 or less inc costs you are back to same position and no worse off.

It was 4,24 GBP at original MC... I am not buying as yes today a recovery but sure there's plenty of bad news to get this back below 4 quid. Need patience as the outlook for slow down is really real unless really positive news from War & China can change the direction.

Is there any actual nominated share price value given for the B shares dividend. I mean a figure which was calculated to ensure your holding effectively stays the same after the reduction? I don’t know whether to buy today or wait. I’m not looking to gain just to ensure that I’m not paying more than any calculated price and I end up the same as before.

Still nothing from Barclays. Shower of a company

[wadders5] 20/5/2022 08:51

A mixture of the latter two. I like a day trade here and there if i see an opportunity for a quick profit.

According to Keynes people hold money in cash for three motives , transactions, precautionary, and speculative motives.

[unastubbs] 20/5/2022 08:36

how do you mean? in terms of your portfolio allocation? fwiw - av. are just under 20% of mine. I only hold ten stocks, I tend to go for the conviction strategy.

[wadders5] 20/5/2022 08:33

Cant decide if 20% is too much or too little. Change my mind daily.

[bill hunt] 20/5/2022 08:25

Thanks rettah.Went to Barclays to open an issue for other half first available time slot is July! You wonder how they survive with that approach. Gave up will go elsewhere.

[beermat1] 20/5/2022 08:24

Thanks rettah , here’s hoping..

[rettah] 20/5/2022 08:20

Update from Barclays in case anyone else is with them:
"the return of capital was processed for all clients yesterday evening so you should expect that in your account this morning. With regards to the dividend this will be processed COB today"

[beermat1] 20/5/2022 08:19

Probably wiser than me 😋

[wadders5] 20/5/2022 08:19

Im HL, but will have a look at opening an ii account.

[wadders5] 20/5/2022 08:17

20% cash now.

[rettah] 20/5/2022 08:06

Thanks for the feedback. I'm just on the live chat with them at the moment. The two I was thinking of were ii and AJ bell. I also have accounts with HL who are also excellent, if a little more expensive.
