Win win for Boris that's should say tho spellcheck can be astonishingly appropriate at times!!

[micronesiac] 16/5/2016 16:58

Brexit is keeping everything in limbo. I can't believe it's even being considered. And that buffoon Boris is stirring the pot to bolster his leadership campaign. Leave and he's a hero. Stay and at minimum he'll get the UKIP swingers back on side. It's win-win for virus at the expense of us poor shareholders

Sorry? You asked if anyone asked any questions, and I queried why? Why, with the correct comment that whether there were - and of course there were, doh - or not, they aren't gonna pay much heed and 'are to be trusted' by and large or else, why would you be invested here!

Unfortunately the funds are more wary of those idiots who are stirring up trouble for nothing for UK Plc over Brexit, and once that nonsense is kicked into the long grass then the fund managers will indeed fully buy into the statement(s), cunning plans and strategems to turn this baby around.

Talk about shooting oneself in the foot if invested in Barclays or most other financials and harping on about Brexit... :)

Sit quiet and you'll see.

that was not my question never mind .

why are funds not believing the statement that they have given out until fund managers believe their statements we are going nowhere . remember funds look to the future when they buy

[topicel] 16/5/2016 11:12

Why? They are a law unto themselves and are to be trusted! Why else would you be invested here?

Unless you are short? This bad boy will turn slowly but surely, and maybe even a US bank will try and muscle in if it doesn't do so this summer?

Jes Staley has a reputation of turning around lumbering giants by focusing on the bigger, slimmed-down picture. Not good for staff and many middle investment managers, but shareholders will be pleased beyond the dividend cut in capital appreciation.

CET1 is getting stronger day-by-day and that is what the current promise and funds requirement. They will trade it too within the current range...for now...

WELL HAVE TRIED TO FIND THE QUESTIONS PUT TO THE BOARD AT THE AGM AND THE ANSWERS CAN NOT FIND THEM ANYWHERE. SO DID ANYONE ASK THE DIRECTORS ANY QUESTIONS AT THE AGM

[henrylightningbolt] 16/5/2016 09:58

Thanks Portside. So just 3p per year for the next two years. Is that correct?

[portside1] 16/5/2016 09:56

[henrylightningbolt] 16/5/2016 09:45

Can anyone tell me what dividends BARC are paying this year. I know they are reducing payouts, but I cannot see the amounts listed anywhere. Thank you.

Just my reading of all the tea leaves capeview. Out of left field, and all that, we could dip again but all the really bad news and battering for the financial sector is largely priced in for the financial sector and Barclays was hit more than most.

Personally, I would be happier with a proper breakout to beyond 180p but it will need another rate hike in the US and a decisive remain vote in all this Brexit nonsense. Annoyingly, the leavers have already done a lot of damage in derailing the investment cases of much of UK Plc over the last six months, so we might not see an instant turnaround for long on June 24.

But a relief rally is likely if we vote to stay in, and possibly a really good one, which might just get markets sailing ahead to bring the financial sector back to life...on vera!

Topicel, if these shares stay in that range I'll be happy for a while. At least it gives a potential income over a few months or so without doing much work.

[topicel] 13/5/2016 13:51

US retail sales numbers far stronger than estimates and inflation gains marginally, both helping the prospects of a rate rise sooner than later once more.

One swallow and all that, but the same figures for May would increase the likelihood of Yellen hiking by 25 basis points in June, a nice signal for financials, and, coinciding, with the Brexit vote, hopefully, to remain...

Still range bound 160-180p for a while...

Fears UK economy is in FREE FALL - but experts say risk of Brexit NOT to blame

BRITAIN'S trade gap has jumped to its highest level since 2008, fuelling fears the UK's economy is in free fall - but experts have said the Brexit vote is not the cause.
