Yes but Mrs May wants to stay

[johnwise] 01/4/2019 06:51

Staying in the EU is a race to the bottom. The EU once had 36% share of world gdp. Now 15%. Expected 10% by 2025. Why align our economy to a failing diminishing Eu market that will incur more debt? Emerging markets account for 80% of new business. We tap into this market with trade agreements to suit UK requirements.



Mervin king ex Bank of England governor says no deal best for us..


No deal scare stories are absurd, let's just tell EU we're leaving, says ex-bank governor

A FORMER Bank of England governor has slammed "incompetent" MPs for failing to deliver Brexit.

Wasn’t Tim the one that whistleblower was targetting and Jes got into trouble for trying to hunt the whistleblower?

[diku] 31/3/2019 21:08

I am a bit suspicious of the departure...what does the Board know if anything that is not in the public domain?...



Barclays’ shareholders received another surprise last week when the head of the group’s investment banking division, Tim Throsby, left suddenly after just two years.

Yes only 340k Staley as the ability to sink him buy announcing a buy back of stock , But I think he is to thick to understand this ,Not a smart cookie more a damp squib

The Barclays (LSE: BARC) share price has fallen by 25% over the last year. For shareholders it’s been disappointing, but I think it pays to look at the bigger picture.

The bank’s performance is improving. The share price doesn’t reflect this yet, in my view, but I think patient investors will be rewarded at some point.

As I’ll explain, I think Barclays could be a great choice if you’re looking for an ISA buy. I’ve also found a smaller financial stock that looks attractive to me after recent news.

Things can only get better?

Barclays’ shareholders received another surprise last week when the head of the group’s investment banking division, Tim Throsby, left suddenly after just two years.

Chief executive Jes Staley will take direct charge of this division, where recent performance has been disappointing. Staley is facing calls from activist investor Edward Bramson to scale back investment banking, but the CEO has made the division a core part of his strategy for the bank’s turnaround.

I’m not too concerned by all of this. Big banks’ internal workings are very difficult for ordinary investors to understand. What I can see is that the big picture is improving at Barclays.

I’d buy these numbers

Excluding the cost of legal settlements and other misconduct costs, pre-tax profit rose by 20% to £5.7bn in 2018. The bank’s underlying return on average tangible equity, a measure of profitability, rose from -1.2% to 8.5%.

The end result was that cash generation improved enough to allow Staley to increase the dividend from 3p to 6.5p, a level last seen in 2015. A further 16% increase to 7.6p is expected for 2019, giving the stock a forecast dividend yield of nearly 5%.

Barclays shares remain very cheap on other measures too. Trading at about 155p, the bank’s stock sits at a discount of 41% to its tangible book value of 262p per share. That discount may have been justified when the bank was losing money. But if the Barclays’ profitability continues to improve, I expect the shares to trade much closer to their book value.

In my view, Barclays offers real value and an attractive income at current levels. I rate them as a buy.

Dominic grieve crying over being shot down , he is no more than a traitor he betrayed is voters and manifesto he has trashed the Conservative party kick him out now along with the other scum , boris saying he was a good con boris he is a traitor shut up

[hades1] 31/3/2019 14:32

I hope so.

[portside1] 31/3/2019 14:23

I do not think Staley is that bright more a dim light ,He has only proven in 3 years to be a candle in night

[portside1] 31/3/2019 14:20

Barcs is being shorted by a us company , only 340k if barcs started the buy back down it would sink them .Has jes got the brains to know this or is he a simple idiot

[portside1] 31/3/2019 13:52

From an insider at the independent news paper ,We are told to print fake news to stop Brexit The paper stinks the regulator should shut them down

[buywell2] 31/3/2019 13:04

........ Mrs May on April 1st is going to make a monkey out of us all ........












She is going to try to stay in power and call a General Election

[joe say] 31/3/2019 09:47

And as an aside he was campaigning for a peoples vote the other week - now that we are more aware of Brexit's consequences etc

Ironic then that he disses the result of his own party members who equally have seen the error of their ways

[joe say] 31/3/2019 09:45

Grieve promised us in person that he would ensure the vote of the people was honoured

Clearly the man is a liar

[spoole5] 31/3/2019 08:55

Only really stating the obvious that a hard brexit would hammer bank shares!

[jordaggy] 31/3/2019 06:29

I'm more worried about our exposure to Italian debt!

Peanuts
