Thanks manic. I'm still very long since April, put on a medium term recovery play on barclays, Lloyds, NatWest, standard chartered and metro (metro i bought later) and haven't range traded along the way. At some point i feel i need to cut back my bank exposure (excluding metro, metro is a special situation play) .. but just not clear when. I'm of the opinion that we will have a relatively short term v-shaped recovery when things open up again (pent up demand)... And after that a long drawn out recession (when consumers go into a cautious saving mode, and companies go into debt repayment mode, both of which suck as lot of spending power out of the economy, which will depress growth\gdp). But when to cut back on my bank exposure is the big question (banks are about 30 percent of my portfolio).

summsc: cautiously long, hoping for 163p this month though not putting the farm on it by a long chalk.

Surely with the dividend reinstated, that will allow income funds to reinvest in Barcs?

Barc rarely pays above 3%, regardless of the SP

There was an article yesterday quoting analysts expect 3.5p per share. They have to be very careful about what message it sends as the country isn't out of the woods yet.

Hi does anyone have any ideas on the dividend amount after the final results, I read that analysts think it will be low ie 3% to 4%, any thoughts?

Barclays boss hopes to avoid more stormy weather

Barclays will be hoping to avoid another bombshell announcement that could overshadow its full-year results, coming up this week, for a second year running.

The British banking giant is expected to report a 36% drop in annual profits to £2.8bn, with earnings hit by bad debt provisions during a global pandemic. However, its spin doctors will find it much easier to control that narrative than another corporate scandal or investigation involving its chief executive, Jes Staley.

This is a much better thread without Halfwit John, he's here to troll and has no pot to pee in. Lacking basic English, and possessing only rudimentary social skills he was seen to latch on to weaker investors to lead them astray.
