Now the government is thinking of imposing an opportunistic "Health Tax" on a population with basically no chance after this of getting financially healthy for another decade..


Lord Mervyn King says it's 'unrealistic' to think lockdown could last for months

Crisis could be used to impose a 'health tax' suggests former treasury secretary

Yes Sherborne C is Bramson's Barclays vehicle... Invesco largest shareholder...nice one Mr Woodford...as usual

[seekthetech] 01/4/2020 17:14

Would I be right in thinking that the cancellation of the dividend will have blown a giant hole in the ability of Sherborne C to finance its highly geared position in Barclays? There must be a chance that Sherborne becomes a forced seller?

12% down and we'll have those dividends back too thank you very much.Just another day in the life of a BARC long.The investment case evaporated today. If you held yesterday, and still hold today, your are what is known as a "bagholder".

They are not commercial entities at all , just at the beck and call of the BoE.

Sack the whole BoD and get Bramson in.

RTTNews) - Barclays plc (BARC.L, BCS) announced its Board has decided that, for 2020, the company will not undertake any interim ordinary share dividend payments, accrual of ordinary share dividends, or share buybacks. The Board has agreed to cancel the 6.0 pence per ordinary share full year 2019 dividend that was due for payment on 3 April 2020. The Board will decide on any future dividend policy and amounts at year-end 2020.

Nigel Higgins, Chairman, said: "The bank has a strong capital base, but we think it is right and prudent, for the many businesses and people that we support, to take these steps now, and ensure that Barclays is well placed to continue doing what we can to help through this crisis."

Maybe AJ Bell should donate all his divis and bonuses to affected customers.

[m1k3y1] 01/4/2020 16:02

cmillar....thank you . I'll do some googling.

[pbanus] 01/4/2020 15:02

@squeamish1, so much for the efficient markets hypothesis eh?

[cmillar] 01/4/2020 15:02

m1k3y1..... theres often a lot of confusion from accounting terminology and everyday terminology. I'm rather rusty on all the definitions but T1 does include 'common stock' (equity capital) but at the issue price rather than the current price.

I imagine Investopedia or wikipedia may provide more detail (or confusion!!).

[m1k3y1] 01/4/2020 14:36

cmillar.....Thank you my understanding is that Tier 1 capital is core capital and is comprised of a bank's common stock, retained earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), non cumulative perpetual preferred stock and any regulatory adjustments to those accounts.

Given that the value of the Banks common stock is included, surely if this value falls , it must have an effect on the Tier 1 calculation.
