That would be nice.

[smurfy2001] 16/12/2016 10:47

Kinda hoping they restore the dividend.

[bernie37] 16/12/2016 10:43

When is the next dividend paid?

I'm fully invested in Barclays now, I use to have mortgage with them & now it feels like they've got one with me, I'm holding out for the 2016 full year results on the 23 February

Barclays overtook rbs for a while but today is the day rbs retakes the lead. The tortoise and the hare !

[alphorn] 16/12/2016 09:19

Yep, will let some of my Barclays get called away.

Triple witching today...

[astol] 16/12/2016 09:13

Treading water today don't mind that cause normally Friday can see profit taking and hopefully we will have our Xmas rally next week to 240p

Bet you not the only one selling out too early....its easy to press the buy button but a difficult choice when to press the sell button particularly if it keeps going up up up...and if you don't sell it...it starts to go down down down....

[smurfy2001] 16/12/2016 08:47

2Rocketman, yeah l was in TW/BDEV and made an excellent return but sold out too early.

Noticed that Barclays Chief compliance officer has bought shares well the ADR ones, that's a positive sign for the share price going forward.I am expecting a positive day today albeit maybe only a 3p increase by the close or better??

Smurfy,

He's joking right? I may have asked you this before, but was you in the house builders Taylor wimpey etc after the financial crisis? Your user name rings a bell. If the housing market plummets again after brexit I will be buying them up! good money making times. I personally think it all may come back around.

smurfy...LOL..

[smurfy2001] 15/12/2016 21:20

Alphorn, LOL!


The point that is often missed is that 0.5% to 0.75% is a 50% increase. Pretty steep.

[diku] 15/12/2016 17:41

It depends on who the borrower is....lending criteria has got tighter & is not similar to pre 2008 crisis....0.25% can easily be absorbed by the borrower...& its going to be a very gradual rise pending good stats...

[alphorn] 15/12/2016 16:12

diku - don't agree with you. 50% is 50% irrespective of the starting rate. The ultra low interest rates have encouraged huge borrowings.

[smurfy2001] 15/12/2016 14:31

Terminated, i'd agree if interest rates were raised to 7% but they are only at 0.25% UK 0.75% US ;)

[mercer95] 15/12/2016 14:29

True but it's much better than it was, Barclays earns big off the bond & share trading which at are high levels so hopefully set up for a good 2017

[terminated] 15/12/2016 14:20

People championing the rate rise to bank profits scenario should also factor in higher rates to bad debts ratio. It's not all good for banks.

On our Real Time Insight feature of Zacks Ultimate we discussed the Fed action on Wednesday and what that means for the stock market the rest of 2016. Right now our poll shows 7X more people expecting stocks to go higher...and I concur. In fact, this is what I added to the discussion:

"Stocks were due for a sell off and the Fed announcement was the low hanging fruit excuse. Yet truly, there is nothing shocking or upsetting about this announcement. It is back to a growth oriented investment posture which should be evident in results in the weeks and months to come."

The one industry that is having a ticker tape parade on the Fed announcement is the banks. Higher rates = higher margins for their loans = happy days are here again!

Bank insiders certainly smelt this coming which is why they were active buyers of their own shares. The good news is these folks are long term investors, which means there is likely much more upside to come. The article below paves the best way for you to invest in this surging group now.
