Barclays Share Discussion Threads

2008 taught me that it was based on deception not confidence, the banking sector needed it,things have moved on now, anyway,the US jobs report later will determine how Barclays share price will finish out the week.

drylatt: why has the share price fallen then since BARC very recently announced (on the surface, and this is where portside1 got caught) improving results and an increased divi?

Manics - Agree that sentiment and conduct are a driver but ultimately, fundamentals and results are what counts. If Barc started delivering greater earnings growth and underlying profitability are what drives eps then share price uptick and then sentiment. So I think you got it the wrong way around - i.e. sentiment (and therefore sp) is a symptom of poor results... and of course poor conduct does not help but this only counts if it has an impact on results.

Bank branches are closing because they are a cost burden, mine closed but I’d used it twice in 6 years, to collect some holiday money so how can I complain,business models are always changing, ATM’s were ground breaking in their day but you can just get cash back now,the brand to me just isn’t that important to me,it’s the cash flow, it’s just a bank,not a fashion label, I’m here for the dividend return ultimately, I’ve got to be long somewhere.

I have been a Barclays customer since I started work many moons ago. Their technology has recently improved no end; especially for international transactions etc. Where IMO they are very poor is not following up with existing customers to find out more about them and their needs. Banks like Barclays have no idea about their customers and how they could maximise business.

It's not the (traditional) concept of banking that's the problem -it's the brand. If err'body needs banks why are branches closing everywhere? New, disruptive technology is coming in (online, Blockchain etc.)

New generations, day by day, step into increasing business influence who don't want to deal with tainted dinosaur brands like Barclays imo.

Putting Barclays on your remittance advice is like stepping back to the 1960's imo.

You can read what you want from any chart, maybe 200p is the support level & the share price starts moving up from here,the downtrend will end, until a better system than the present banking one is developed the big banks are here to stay,I don’t much fancy going back to the barter system, those potatoes are heavy don’t you know.

Until it breaks the downtrend it's going to be a right dog.

Look at the chart if you don't believe.

Barclays finally settling the fine in the US & forthcoming dividend increases should improve sentiment, it did for me,encouraged me to invest here

[mercer95] 04/5/2018 10:10

Potty you really should be peddling your wares/ snake oil on the penny share threads, this is BARCLAYS, it’s out of your league, spelling is improving,someone checking it for you.

[manics] 04/5/2018 10:04

drylatt: The biggest challenges to the BARC price are sentiment and conduct both of which are related and in the toilet.
BARC has already puked its fundamentals and it has not mattered one iota.

Manics - Do you think that greater (continuing) market volatility and rising yields will have a meaningful impact on Barc? Helping US banks but UK/Europe banks not so sure?

[manics] 04/5/2018 09:35

IMO -the three respectful letters which make all the difference imo. Everyone has a view.

I could never borrow money from Barclays as I couldn't be sure it wasn't proceeds from crime BUT that said I did have a business account with them for some years without issue.

[mercer95] 04/5/2018 09:28

Barclays holding a gain even though financial sector is weak, next week will be better IMO good luck to all genuine traders out there

[mercer95] 04/5/2018 09:17

It’s a dead thread because of your nonsense potty, like channel Dave, no one watches it because it’s full of repeats like you, Tesco,Centrica,Barclays etc all the chairmen are either cancers or dead or corrupt, get a life, what do know about running a business, Barclays sorted me out a business loan & a mortgage which I’ve both paid back,it’s how the real world works,just repeating stuff doesn’t make it true & your spelling still sucks.

[portside1] 04/5/2018 09:13

Barclays has for to many non jobs in head quarters , I/R do nothing when you speak to any of them they no nothing can tell you nothing so get rid of them to many directors and not enough in branches when I can not speak to a person in the bank I will close my accounts I do not want to speak to a computer ,

barcs could get rid of over 300 non office jobs in London and they would not even notice they have gone fact

[portside1] 04/5/2018 09:02

MANICS KEEP POSTING no one else is it would be come a dead thread

[manics] 04/5/2018 08:50

I reread your post and you're quite right.
