We can't look after our own who need housing and live on a pittance. Why can't they stay in France, No they'd rather live in the UK. Because we'll give them money and housing. How come the majority are men?

Three charged over losing £8m of pension savings in high risk trading

The defendants will appear before Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 7 June 2024

The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority has charged three individuals with fraud for
their alleged involvement in an £8m high-risk trading scheme, which targeted people’s pension savings.

Kristofer McGuire, Keith Williamson and Karla Walker have been charged with multiple offences, including fraud by false representation and fraudulent trading, after they targeted victims by persuading them to invest in contracts for difference (CFDs).

CFDs are a high-risk investment product used to bet on the price of an asset.

The total known loss to victims is over £8m.

Barclays (LSE: BARC) shares are having a great run at the moment. Year to date, they’re up about 40%.

Looking ahead, there could be more share price gains to come. According to analysts at Deutsche Bank, the shares have the potential to deliver double-digit gains from here.

270p share price target

Recently, Deutsche Bank initiated coverage of Barclays shares. Listing the bank stock as a Buy, its analysts slapped a 270p price target on it.

That price target is roughly 24% higher than the current share price. If it turns out to be accurate, a £5,000 investment today could be worth £6,200 in the not-too-distant future.

I’ll point out that Barclays shares also pay a decent dividend. Currently, the yield is about 4%. Add this yield to the potential share price gains, and investors could be looking at a total return of nearly 30%.

Of course, neither the dividends nor share price gains are guaranteed. I’ve learnt over the years that brokers’ price targets can be off the mark at times.

Low valuation

Barclays shares do look cheap right now though.

Currently, they trade on a forward-looking price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of just 6.9 – miles below the market average.

At current levels, the analysts at Deutsche Bank believe there’s considerable “risk asymmetry” in the company’s share price (that means they think the shares are more likely to go up than down).

Back in February, Barclays announced a new strategy in an effort to improve its business performance. And Deutsche’s analysts reckon that if the bank can get close to its targets, the share price should rise.

Meanwhile, they believe that the group’s tangible net asset value (which is expected to increase to 460p by end of 2026) should offer some protection from share price weakness.
