Barclays Share Discussion Threads

The belief more buyers and the price goes up and more sellers and the price goes down is a myth....

Sorry John, focussing on Chump at the moment and trying to think what can be done to stop him tweeting his own version of democratic dictatorship !

I wonder how our present generation of young people, brainwashed by leftist propoganda in schools and universities by the preceding generation of snowflake teachers, will manage with this kind of Venezuela life in the event the present 'labour' party come to power in our country. Remember Venezuela is one of few countries that can have three harvests a year. It has abundant oil. Yet its people are starving. Corbyns socialism in action!

Chump is playing on popularism as have many failed politicians throughout history.
Oh and of course to benefit his own, personal agenda of course.
His ridiculous policies will, eventually have a detrimental impact.
Anyone who believes that the actions Chump is now taking are beneficial for UK shareholders and Barclays in particular, is mistaken.

This is the end result of socialism. No government has ever succeeded following this plan. Perhaps this clarifies why Trump is so popular.

The Venezuelan city where nothing works: Running water comes once a month and cash machines are empty - as president Maduro finally admits his socialist economic policies have 'FAILED' And this in the country that was once one of the top 10 oil producers in the world.Venezuela has the Worlds largest oil reserves

What to make of Lloyds Bank results
by Richard Hunter from interactive investor | 1st August 2018 10:42
Lloyds shares may be the most widely held, but 2018 has been disappointing so far. Richard Hunter, head of markets at interactive investor, assesses recovery potential following latest numbers.

Lloyds Banking Group is enjoying the benefit of the doubt as the strength of these numbers is enough to offset the disappointment of another PPI hit.

The key metrics are in very good shape, with a rise in Net Interest Margin, improved earnings per share and a cost income ratio which now sits below 48%.

In addition, the return on equity number is robust and the capital cushion healthy, enabling an increase to the dividend which puts the projected yield at 5.4%, a clear attraction in itself.

The week ahead: Lloyds Bank, BP, Rolls-Royce, Next
How Lloyds Bank shares can escape this mess
Meanwhile, the supportive share buyback programme is nearing completion, with further schemes a distinct possibility. Unsurprisingly, these factors have all combined to drive the profit figure sharply higher.

The additional PPI provision is an unwelcome development. The issue has long cast a shadow over the sector and Lloyds in particular. It is especially galling given that the Q1 update suggested that these provisions were on a downward trajectory and that the issue was close to being consigned to the history books.

This will not sit comfortably with the current view that the UK economy may have some troubling times to come, with Lloyds being potentially exposed to consumer defaults through its credit card business, let alone any difficulties which higher interest rates could bring.

This may explain why bears of the stock have the upper hand at present. The shares have fallen 5% over the last year, as compared to a 5% hike for the wider FTSE 100, and are down 10% in the last six months.

Despite an undemanding valuation and undoubtedly robust numbers, the market consensus has also slipped to a 'hold', albeit a strong one.

Hmmmm..
"UK exports to non-EU countries continue to outstrip EU"
Is that good news?...considering
The British pound has lost 10%-20% of its value against the Euro in the last 24 months making UK exports to EU cheaper/more attractive
Considering the UK already has trade agreements with other members of EU as a member of the EU?
Considering that the EU is on UK door step making trade/exports to and between the two relatively easy
Considering as above there is free movement of goods, transport, people?
If the UK is already exporting 50% of exports to rest of world, how likely is it that those customers will want to double their trade with the UK?
