Barclays Share Discussion Threads

Manics, I can offer at least a partial answer,
my other half works in healthcare and a number of friends
work in hospital settings.

Putting deaths to one side, the major issue COVID casus is the
numbers who end up in hospital- many of whom will recover.

This is a primary differentiator between Covid-19 and ssy seasonal
influenza or pneumonia.

A good % of COVID patient ebd up in ICU and many more in the tier
below this which is HDU - High Dependacy Units.

There wsrds are more labour intesive than many other sugical
and non surgical wards.

We went in to this psnfemic with approx 30,000mnurding shortages in the UK.




The above link gives a good insight in to what is happening.

In the UK we are a rich nation, with billions in infrastructure enabling WFH and lockdown.Now let's go to Bangladesh, where you can't lockdown because if you don't go out and collect $3 worth of plastic bottles you will starve. There are no benefits or furlough or NHS. Let's go to Sudan. Let's go to Syria.Where are the death camps? Where are the JCB's burying bodies by the thousands? Where are the riots, fighting over whatever medical supplies are left?There aren't any, because Covid isn't serious enough to warrant it.So why are we giving up our way of life, pretending that it is?

portside1: I can have exposure to BARC without holding shares, and I can profit as it slides.I care because of my morals. I care because of the community. I care because investors should be better informed and I can play a small part in that.I care for the people who get up each morning to give up their professional lives for this court proven criminal entity. I care about fraud and criminality. I care about what's right and wrong.Most here just want to take, take, take. I give back.

When trump is announced and the winner the markets will rocket

[portside1] 29/10/2020 12:22

Manics in 08i lost closer on £500.000

[portside1] 29/10/2020 12:16

If they went to 300 I would be close on 1m

[portside1] 29/10/2020 12:15

So why do you care , I have more than I should have by far But I think it's only a matter of time for over 200 p If I die before then I will not know if it did or did not

[manics] 29/10/2020 11:50

*do not, sorry.

[manics] 29/10/2020 11:49

portside1: correct. I do hold BARC shares currently because of compliance issues at the bank and the price action over the last few years.

[portside1] 29/10/2020 11:20

Just hope the yanks come to there senses and vote trump Biden is a man who is brain dead because of is life of drugs

[portside1] 29/10/2020 11:17

Joe I do not think there will a div paid till end of March or before end of tax year

[joestalin] 29/10/2020 11:14

I would expect their to be a dividend before the FY end. Nobody wants to waste their CGT allowance, now, do they?

[portside1] 29/10/2020 11:08

Manics did you say you do not hold any barcs shares

[portside1] 29/10/2020 11:01

And I still say 150 at next results

[portside1] 29/10/2020 11:01

Not one word to share holders in Lloyd's up date not one word so I sold

[portside1] 29/10/2020 10:59

Manics just back from my walk ,I could not resist adding more and are going to buy some more I have just sold my holdings In Lloyd's

[essentialinvestor] 29/10/2020 09:49

force, if they recommence dividends next year it won't be 6.5 pence!.

The buy case now is a 2-3 year view on increasing dividend payouts.

[arja] 29/10/2020 09:40

tentative recovery todsy but I think there is more downside in US indices with covid 19 concerns heightening and lack of stimulus until after election. this will drag Barclays doown too no doubt

[forcemode] 29/10/2020 09:39

Essential....That's my concern, they could simply declare a pittance of a dividend!

[essentialinvestor] 29/10/2020 09:24

IF Barclays can pay out 6.5 pence in dividends again the current

price is highly attractive, or a dividend in that type of region.

That's the clearest buy case I can see - but it's a big IF.

[manics] 29/10/2020 09:09

portside1: you posted as statement of fact that BARC would see double digits this morning.17 minutes into the session, and you are buying.Talk to me.

[essentialinvestor] 29/10/2020 08:43

* it's a gift on what basis?

[manics] 29/10/2020 08:43

Essential: yes, but primarily based on technicals as a trade. I personally cannot invest in this business due to my morals, though I still say the IB fundamentally guards 90p, so buys with a mid term view into 2021/22 shouldn't do bad.
