Barclays Share Discussion Threads

Bring AJ back - casino banking won't work, as the fines continue to rain in from the last efforts in that disgraced space. Why are none of the offenders in prison yet?

Re diku - 220 low? I'd hope not, but it's not that far off. Any rights issue call like Standard Chartered announced today may crash the share price well under 190.

The board mustn't make that call.

Not really. No!

[diku] 03/11/2015 10:46

Anybody think Jan 2015 lows of around 220p coming?...

Barclays boss needs to ‘value’ something a little less vague

If Jes Staley wants to build my trust, he could start using the words ‘money’ and ‘profit’

News reports suggest Visa inc may buyout their European operations. Barclays share worth about 1bn.

Barclays' new CEO shows Britain's biggest investment bank is going back to the Bob Diamond era


"Barclays just hired the man who could unravel everything the bank's former boss Antony Jenkins was hired to do — to turn Barclays into a more high-street-friendly lender and move away from the risky world of investment banking."

Where is the promised Market Transparency ?


Barclays Gets Washed Up in Dark Pools and High Frequency Trading


Barclays Bank seems like it is next in line to settle with the authorities regarding its dark pool operations.

Dark pools are essentially private, anonymous, off-exchange and opaque venues that permit the trading of exchange-listed securities. This structure helps camouflage the trading strategies of large financial institutions, such as mutual funds, pension funds, hedge funds, and insurance funds to afford them optimal profits or minimal losses. These venues are lightly regulated, require less public disclosure, do not carry the same protective margin requirements as the public exchange marketplaces, and allow banks to forego paying fees to exchanges for trade execution.

Apparently Barcs employees have their share options maturing on Monday - some have waited 3 to 5 years to cash out. I was told option price was favourable (sub 1.50 for 3 years). I imagine panic selling on Monday by tens of thousands of workers..

[diku] 30/10/2015 15:49

All is forgiven bring back Jenkins!!...

[smartypants] 30/10/2015 15:40

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.
