Portside - If you haven't already done so you might like to consider closing your short, because although I don' know why, the price seems to be moving north at the moment.

These ICOs, or initial coin offerings, are the biggest scam ever! In this video, we will be discussing what an ICO or initial coin offering is and why I believe most of these ICOs are a complete scam. Due to the hype surrounding bitcoin, ethereum and other cryptocurrencies many companies have been offering their own cryptocurreny tokens through an ICO.

EBarclay's high-end bank is eyeing a return to Asia and the Middle East less than two years after it sold out of the region.
The lender sold its Asian private bank – which targets wealthy customers – to Singapore’s Overseas-Chinese Banking Corporation in 2016 as part of chief executive Jes Staley’s plan to focus on the US and UK.
But with the geographical market worth an estimated £3.7 trillion thanks to a surge in the newly-enriched middle classes, senior figures are reportedly plotting to return.
Barclay is expected to capitalise on £3.7 trillion market in Asia +1

Buyback is probably best for Barc it's been diluting stock for years.

[diku] 28/11/2017 08:54

Or the easy option buybacks...US punters love that...

The only thing that will give a boost to the share price is a return to decent dividends - it's that simple.

Good post Manics. The interest rate environment does not help either. That won't change anytime soon.

The stress tests aren't what you think they are imo.

An investor might read results as "hoorah. A healthy business here". The truer meaning: "regulators are nailing these businesses such that they will never, never ever return to their former glories facilitated a macro environment and regulatory landscape such as they once operated within and enjoyed in the past".

(imo).

The boomer generation holds on to shares in companies like BARC because it used to be different, and the price used to be higher. They're investing on past outlook and not forward outlook imo (otherwise they wouldn't be holding).

The market has demonstrably well and truly understood this message, and has adjusted sector market caps (including BARC) as a consequence, yet even this week we've had posters here asking for clearer direction from BARC.

It is being shout from the rooftops imo. Clear as day, and Boomers should adjust their hearing aids imo.
