Talking of FTSE in relation to other indexes....once upon a time FTSE & the Dow had a ratio of 1:2.....compared to where Dow is FTSE ought to be around 8800....every other Index will freely rise unlike the FTSE!....the normal perception of FTSE has big international companies (Oily & Miners) is all blah blah blah....

Barclay's fallback is getting the price close to the lower trend channel, so further to my post in January about time to buy, it looks like we are close to another buy time. The overall trend is up, plus on the fundamentals, penalties have been paid or allowed for, and an improving economy will benefit the big banks which, love 'em or loath 'em, we need at such times especially as a recovery is in progress.

I remember when....
Feb 26th 2006
"The Dax has been higher than the FTSE on 3 occasions – each time there has been a sharp subsequent fall in share prices."

FTSE now 5000pts behind the dax, range used to be 0-1500.

Barclays was widely criticised by shareholders for its pay policy at the 2014 AGM.

In a strongly worded statement, LAPFF chair Kieran Quinn said: "It is inexplicable how Barclays can have gone back on its promise to the 2014 AGM that Sir John would step down.

"Having messed up remuneration for 2013 Sir John has in fact stayed on as chair and presided over another year of still unacceptably high pay for 2014, and is still in place in March 2015.

"It's nothing short of misleading shareholders."

Mr Quinn went on to say that Sir John's involvement in awarding "grossly excessive bonuses" and his support for former chief executive Bob Diamond, amongst other things, had been "disastrous for shareholder returns and the reputation of the bank".

Bonus culture

The LAPFF, which represents 64 public sector pension funds with combined assets of approximately £160bn, has been a strong critic of high levels of executive pay and the bonus culture.

Barclays pay chief finally resigns after pension fund pressure

The chairman of the remuneration committee at UK bank Barclays is to step down at the annual general meeting (AGM) on 23 April following years of public and shareholder criticism of large pay deals awarded to top executives at the bank.
