Barclays always seem to hire an Investment Banker to expand that complex area and a Chairman who has not got a clue about complex financial instrument trading which can devastate profits in a few weeks of trading ie Bob Diamond and Varley and now Staley and a Chairman who has no relevant experience in complex financial instruments and markets Fantastic for the traders receiving millions for just leveraging off Barclays credit rating, heads they win tails the shareholders lose. This is written by an ex Head of Global Markets at Barclays.
I will buy Barclays shares when the Investment Bank is reduced in size and cannot threaten the profitability of the Bank.

Bramson is also agitating for a seat on the Barclays board. Top executives at Barclays will meet Bramson in March to discuss his views on the bank’s strategy for the first time. However, the Barclays board on Thursday wrote a unanimous letter to shareholders saying that Bramson’s request should be denied to maintain a “cohesive” board.

Body blow for raider targeting a seat on Barclays board: Top investor backs bank in bitter power struggle


The corporate raider fighting to shake up Barclays suffered a huge setback last night after one of his biggest backers rubbished his plans.

Aviva Investors refused to support Edward Bramson in his campaign to win a seat on the Barclays board, declaring it could see no merit in the proposal.

The intervention was a body blow for Bramson because Aviva is one of his fund's largest investors, as well as a major Barclays shareholder.

Markets down across the piece today so too early to call share price impact. Brexit is creating more uncertainty each day. We need to ride this storm. It's ugly and uncomfortable but Barcs has restructured massively and can only build on this foundation. Keep faith folks

Anybody think indirectly he is inviting bidders for Barc...



For the first time in years, we're in a position to pursue significant opportunities to grow our business and all within the cost guidance we've given you.

bernie....I find that Jes waffles a lot and really doesn't deliver on his future projections to shareholders.

Let's face it, we are only just at the same dividend level we were at when Jes became CEO. Not exactly a startling performance and questionable whether he is delivering.

Part of jes earning summery.

For the first time in years, we're in a position to pursue significant opportunities to grow our business and all within the cost guidance we've given you. Of course, despite all the progress we've made as a group, one area where our performance has unfortunately not been reflected thus far is in our share price, which remains disappointingly low. In common with all European banks, we have been hit hard in this regard by macroeconomic issues, which have weighed heavily on investor sentiment. Notwithstanding that, I repeatedly said that the management team cannot rest while the share price trades below book value, and it is a priority for us to deliver a recovery.

He will only increase his stake if sees light at the end of the tunnel via the Board...he will probably play a facilitator role for Barc to get taken over...by his mates from the US...Lehmans is there for the taking...

[diku] 21/2/2019 20:09

It is all my fault...they read my post of 129682 and down it went!!...

The longer the share price stays depressed the more of a case bramson has, and he can increase his stake.

Barclays Bats Off Activist With Buyback

Returning capital is good way to silence critics even when the details are vague

[spoole5] 21/2/2019 15:14

And it's red

[portside1] 21/2/2019 14:46

I/b must be sold off jes has had 3 years and got no were its a dud jes so are you

the statement from jes on CNBC was terrible he is a loser .

I would say he will be attacked at the agm big time

[smurfy2001] 21/2/2019 14:44

With the amount of capital in IB l suspect he sees significant value here. I hope he gets a board position and starts really ruffling those feathers.

[spoole5] 21/2/2019 13:50

Will bramson increase his holding or cut and run

[spoole5] 21/2/2019 13:41

Red finish

[kburgess] 21/2/2019 13:30

[smurfy2001] 21/2/2019 12:40
