Unlikely to happen as South Africa is in a strategic position geographically.

I can see South Africa becoming the next Zim and then I am sure that Barclays will be glad that they are out of there

Africa is the cradle of humanity I don't think we need Barclays riding roughshod through it imo.

Still maintain this was the worst decision to close Barclays Africa an economy that will grow even further in 2018.

They had a foothold in what could have been a phenomenal growth story for the bank. Diamond wouldn't have sold it. He really was a fantastic businessman.

Barclays Africa reports higher annual profit, aided by fall in impairments

Look at the ftse header - if barc tracks it even marginally then we could see rises. If the ftse can reach 7300 or 7400 again.

[diku] 01/3/2018 08:20

Looking at that right header chart 230p to 180p...180p to 230p?...unwind the fall..

Barclays is expected to have a dividend yield of around 3.8% in the next financial year. In my view, this could make it an increasingly popular income stock. That’s particularly the case since the company’s recent results said that it is aiming to generate excess capital which can then potentially be returned to shareholders. With Barclays also having a single digit PE, I’m optimistic about its future.

There was possibly a moment, as the tide washed around King Canute, when his loyal subjects privately conceded they were wrong, their leader could not stop the tide. But probably, out of collective stubbornness, they let him get soaked anyway.

This apocryphal story, with nothing to do with Barclays (BARC), does spring to mind when reviewing some recent movement against this share price.

The important thing is the blue downtrend dating back to January 2007 and the very moment when "it" all started going wrong against the retail bank shares.

Last week, the stockmarket opted to gap / manipulate Barclays share price above this critical downtrend, better still doing it in a fashion which sends a clear signal - those days are gone, the future is looking better!

Never forget, this is the UK stockmarket, one where utter probity can be expected by the utterly insane...

If we suspend disbelief, Barclays price movements appear to be advertising that growth now bettering 215p should enter a cycle toward 243p eventually, challenging the highs of last year.

Secondary, with closure above such a level, comes along at 300p and beyond. What's really annoying is the detail, were this not a retail bank, we'd be inclined to accept 243p as a viable initial ambition due to a few other criteria being satisfied.

Certainly, there can be little doubt Barclays need only devalue itself below the dashed red line at 200p to justify a raised eyebrow as this looks capable of tripping some reversal toward a non threatening 195p with secondary, if broken, at 188p.

Achieving the secondary would risk real danger as 'lower lows' risk emplacing the price in a swamp with a bottom at 162p eventually.

Who knows, perhaps the retail banks will prove worth taking seriously but until Barclays now actually closes above 243p and the prior highs, we remain expectant of a "gotcha" moment.
