Barclays Share Discussion Threads

Thanks for the info Smurfy.

Frankly, I no longer give credence to anything Mcfarlane says, particularly when he refers to improving things for shareholders.

As for Jes, well promising to deliver something to shareholders at an unspecified time in the future, is of course nonsense.

This is managing shareholder expectations at it's worst.
I'll promise you I'll give you what you want and what you've been waiting for , just not sure when LOL

Meanwhile, let me continue to do what I am doing, Oh and I'll continue to reward ourselves while you wait.

McFarlane said the bank must avoid making any more major “mistakes or missteps”. “We’re doing everything necessary to get the growth and returns to get the higher share price you’re looking for,” he told shareholders. |I genuinely believe the best is yet to come.”

Staley said shareholders would be rewarded for the bank’s progress with plans for the first programme of share buybacks in 20 years. He would not be drawn on timing. Staley also repeated a pledge to pay a dividend of 6.5p a share for 2018, after the dividend was left unchanged at 3p in 2017.

He wasn't even at the AGM

Bramsom will be increasing his stake at these levels. He'll be in for the kill soon.

idiot warren buffet lost the plot on tsco he sold out at a loss he had the cash to buy twice as many to get is share price back to what he laid out , he made a big mistake and knows he did he had a brain warp

[manics] 01/5/2018 15:13

The sad thing is that you people get yourselves excited. Still. After all these years.

[portside1] 01/5/2018 15:13

he will never lose he would just buy more to equal is share price level then sell

I do the same always have cash to buy back more like at least 50%

[m1k3y1] 01/5/2018 15:08

Maybe portside but he has more invested than I do and so has more to lose.

[m1k3y1] 01/5/2018 14:47

No news yet about Bramson but I doubt he will be satisfied to see this level of share performance.
Let's see what he does to shake the tree.

[portside1] 01/5/2018 14:28

were is bramson did he attend the agm and speak .

[portside1] 01/5/2018 14:26

i tipped saga last last Monday at 129p now 137 goes ex div 17th 6p and it will be over 150p by then

[m1k3y1] 01/5/2018 14:08

3% - 4% appears to be the norm for divi payments by most of the larger companies.
I guess they consider it enough to placate shareholders ?

I agree with you about shareholder returns though, abysmal.

[portside1] 01/5/2018 13:52

for the next few days would like it to fall to around 200p I am greedy to get more

[portside1] 01/5/2018 13:46

div on todays share price of 207p is 3.2% not bril with the risks we take when directors have been taking over 60% ever year

[portside1] 01/5/2018 13:44

i am looking at 2.5p in sept and 4p in april next year plus a s/d or buybacks

and it is still far to low

[m1k3y1] 01/5/2018 13:39

apologies portside .
Final divi for 2018 is actually paid in march 2019 .

[m1k3y1] 01/5/2018 13:28

portside, isn't the next div 4.5p ?
total of 6.5p for 2018
