Barclays platform is the best,,,

I understand Barclays stockbrokers are changing their fee structure. Any thoughts on other providers since the increase seems out of line with the market?

diku-yes you are right low today 211.55,its just profit taking today and we had a good run a bit of a pull back will bode well for the next run up to 230p imo

[diku] 02/12/2016 13:03

diku-even better weak FTSE but Barc still marching upwards- what though do we expect from the Italian vote over the w/e will this affect the share price significantly or not? I am talking if its a no to the constitutional reforms being tabled by Renzi???

[diku] 01/12/2016 18:30

If it wasn't for weak FTSE then Barc would have easily hit 222p...

92% of Millennials Do Not Trust Financial Institutions with Money Matters


A new demographic is coming up, and into influence, that just does't want to do business with such aged institutions.

Barclays, a former basket case of British banking, is beginning to look inspiringly mediocre. The bank has failed Bank of England stress tests less resoundingly than Royal Bank of Scotland. Investors believe its assets are worth only 10 per cent less than their book value, judging from the share price. Although Barclays’ legal team have a mountain of work in hand, little relates to recent alleged misdeeds.

Those incurable optimists on Threadneedle Street envisaged a severe world recession, a financial shock and, for all we know, plagues of locusts. Barclays undershot its main 7.8 per cent target for equity as a proportion of risk-weighted assets in the war games, even after projected dividend and coupon cuts. However, the bank would have weathered the apocalypse by half a percentage point after hybrid bonds converted to equity.

Despite the skinniness of that margin, the Old Lady did not require chief executive Jes Staley to rework his numbers, a process that might have raised the possibility of a cash call. He apparently got credit for an anticipated one percentage point increase in headline capital, currently 11.6 per cent, reflecting the sale of shares in Barclays Africa and a noncore asset rundown. Just as well. He got no credit at all for any ability to lift capital in a crisis through managerial ability.

These days, central bankers are immune to the charisma of Barclays bosses. The City, which is more impressionable, has warmed to Mr Staley. His vision of a bank and a credit card business serving corporate and retail clients on either side of the Atlantic has coherence. The shares have been lifted by enthusiasm for Wall Street banking following Donald Trump’s presidential win, pricing them at a substantial premium to former glamour stock Lloyds.

Most of the misconduct issues Barclays now enumerates at the back of results statement are of mature enough vintages to merit accurately the title “legacy” too often applied to anything bank bosses feel embarrassed about. Analysts expect steady step-ups in profits over the next few years. With an investment bank in the mix, the real numbers will be volatile. But the mood around Barclays is better than it has been for years. Give the old dog a pat. There’s life in him yet.

I said 275p few weeks ago...that broker reading my post & came out with 270p!...

[astol] 01/12/2016 08:52

POSTED on Barc BB 25 Nov
We should be fine see a further run into Xmas /New Year reckon 232p by 20 December,just a hunch on the share price And with intereset rates likely to go up in US plus further news flow from Barclay and forward good divi kicking back in could well be circa 270p March 2017?

[diku] 01/12/2016 08:47

This has been sneakily going up....

[astol] 01/12/2016 08:45

hitting new highs-my prediction circa 230p b4 Xmas looks a real likelihood

[alphorn] 30/11/2016 10:32

Not surprised that Barclays received a 'different' note from the stress tests to Lloyds. Different animal with higher risks than a 'post office'. No real gains without some risk.
(Remain net long both Barclays and Lloyds).

Thanks for summary.

Royal Bank of Scotland, the lender bailed out by the taxpayer in 2008, has failed today’s stress tests!

That means RBS must take fresh action to protect itself against a sharp slump in the economy.

The tests also found that Standard Chartered and Barclays would need more capital if the economy deteriorated. They aren’t being forced to raise new money today though.

But HSBC, Nationwide, Lloyds, Santander UK have all passed.
