Base Prospectus Supplement dated 15 April 2009 for the Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC GBP60,000,000,000 Debt Issuance Programme


update - have I got it right, current BCS price equals 203p?

[smurfy2001] 15/4/2009 15:50

When the dividend payment is announced, wave goodbye to 197p

Barc has risen 250% in a month from 57p to around 197p, due for a massive technical pullback, I know there are some mugs paying this inflated price, its about to fall.

Like it gordon....like it a lot!!

[gordonbrown] 15/4/2009 15:42

okay our market closed cue BCS & DOW to fly...

freelunch how about "investing for dummies by gordon brown" as a title?

any views on RBS? thinking that with the asset sell off (RBS Asia) they are cheap?

[smurfy2001] 15/4/2009 15:41

Closed @ 196.80 (+1.30)

[freelunch] 15/4/2009 15:39

smurfy opened at 192.41 and my stop is 201. I'll cope with this. Tho its of little relevance I did rather well this morning from holding a position over night. I am hoping for the same.

monty...they are selling the family silver...so that some of those top bosses can get their bonuses indirectly...a bit like going round the bushes to get what they want...as they have been used to for the last few years...do you honestly believe they can downgrade their lifestyle!...

Been trying to buy in all day, but easy on my rweal job so kept missing the entry points.
Plus Dow will close UP tonight, so bets are this will open up again in the A.M !
Should have bought back in 1.95.25 last thing.

LOL, how many times can you & crystal be wrong in a day.

[smurfy2001] 15/4/2009 15:24

freelunch, at what price did you open your short and what's your stop?

[smurfy2001] 15/4/2009 15:22

Dividend confirmation will spark funds to buy in, it's part of the their stock investment criteria for the major funds.

[freelunch] 15/4/2009 15:21

Investing made easy by Gordon Brown. You should write a book.

[gordonbrown] 15/4/2009 15:18

taken from the Barclays' investor website...

"The Board intends to resume dividend payments in the second of 2009, from which time it is intended that dividends will be paid quarterly"

The AGM will confirm this and share price will go north, simple investment really.



My question will be if there is any new bidder for ishares or BGI annouced at the AGM

[smurfy2001] 15/4/2009 15:15

montyhedge, given you go long/short every five minutes, I'll take your post with a pinch of salt.

There will be a dividend payment, as you have posted previously ;-)

[montyhedge] 15/4/2009 15:14

Lol, no chance of dividend for 18 months, why are they selling what they can, just to give it to shareholders.

[gordonbrown] 15/4/2009 15:11

AGM at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, London, at 11:00, 23 April 2009

previous years divi date was 1st Oct and value was 11.50p

update - freelunch I normally posts facts and have been in/out of Barclays for a long time.

[montyhedge] 15/4/2009 15:11

smurfy
They will have to sell family silver to pay a dividend.

[freelunch] 15/4/2009 15:10

The only divi you'll see here for sometime is Gordon brown.

[smurfy2001] 15/4/2009 15:10

Dorset64, the AGM is this month 23 April 2009, 11:00 AM.

Confirmation of the dividend payment will be on this day.

[montyhedge] 15/4/2009 15:09

[dope007] 15/4/2009 15:09

I agree with Monty for once. Sold at 202 on Tuesday and can't see anything to stop a bout of profit taking in stocks which should see BARC back down in the 170's
