Rises are proving to be false sense of security...keep on churning in a range then a wild move of some sort out of the range will come...up or down...

Chart technicals at play, broken out of the down trend channel and popping back to test the top line will act as support, time to buy imho but Brexit negotiations are entering a critical 48hrs so may wait until Mid week to see how the landscape is.

Yes shareholders should give Bramson the support...shareholders voices and ideas need to be heard & acted upon...

Showdown: Barclays boss set to meet troublesome activist investor

The bank's chief executive, Jes Staley, aspires to lead an investment banking powerhouse. Bramson, on the other hand, wants that operation scaled back – favouring, in its place, increased investment in the retail operation, credit cards and a return to shareholders.

Even after a blowout quarter for Barclays Plc’s investment bank, Edward Bramson isn’t throwing in the towel.


Barclays’s activist investor is stepping up a campaign to shrink the trading business by drumming up support among the British lender’s non-executive directors, according to a person familiar with the matter.




Bramson, who has also been courting fellow shareholders in California, New York and London in recent weeks, has told some that he has the firepower to increase his stake, the person said. With his current investment of over 5 percent, he is able to call a general meeting of shareholders, although this is not the preferred route, according to the person.

Yes Lloy already above flatline...think Barc might just do it...

Blue finish would be a very positive sign that 180p+ is on the way

All yesterday's gains evaporated with gap down this morning...how controlled can it be?...

[johnwise] 09/11/2018 08:31

Ring ring. Ring ring..... Well goodness gracious me this Barclay's Bank....Cannot understand a word they say. Please select option 1 for an interpretor.


Barclays to cut up to 134 UK staff, with jobs shed in London, Knutsford, Northampton and Glasgow as it adds to its team in India

What chance it closes 179.99?...or 180.01?..

[diku] 08/11/2018 13:13

These insiders are grossly highly paid to do the thinking on behalf of the company shareholders to create value solely or jointly...when there is a will there is always a way to resolve any issues including IT issues...

Hope Barc can hit 180p later this afternoon....

[action] 08/11/2018 12:38

Diku,

There are lots of banks in numbers and need to merge. But IT issues are too expensive to merge.

I would prefer a Barc & STAN tie up...that would create much needed euphoria in the banking sector...currently CEO's/insiders are glued to their luxurious comfort zones...take a leaf out the Sbry book...they bought Argos and now ASDA in the pipe line...

[diku] 08/11/2018 08:52

Dow goes up over 500 points and FTSE manages only 30 points up!!...

Anybody have views of Barc & STAN tie up?...global bank..

Barclays has launched a new digital tool for its small to medium sized business (SME) customers today, aimed at helping them speed up the invoicing process.

[diku] 07/11/2018 22:19

Dow up over 500 points tonight...can Barc hit Monday's intraday highs of around 180p?...if it does it should bode well for further gains...
