False sense of security. Wait for the fall, your gut will drop later. 120p at best. Lemmings drawn in for the fall.

[portside1] 26/3/2020 08:52

If you do think the div will be cancelled sell or are you fools to say the div will be cancelled and still holding makes you fools

They are borrowing hundreds of billions I don't think this dividend will touch the sides!

[smartie6] 26/3/2020 08:51

My thoughts exactly 32, massive trap for the investors.

[portside1] 26/3/2020 08:50

The gov want the div they need the cash

[32campomar] 26/3/2020 08:48

Be astonished if they do pay this dividend bearing in mind the government have a controlling stake

[portside1] 26/3/2020 08:45

If they did cancel the div we would fall to 85p

[portside1] 26/3/2020 08:42

The big issue is if companies do not pay divs the country is in deep trouble , the reason is simple pension funds will fail to pay pensions they rely on divs to pay out pensions So the BOE must be very careful or they make the issue worse

[portside1] 26/3/2020 08:40

We will see we can not change anything , the investors do not matter never have until a company goes bust

Times:

Doubts have been raised about whether Barclays will pay a promised £1.03 billion dividend next week, as the chancellor and the governor of the Bank of England made plain that they expected banks to conserve cash and play their part in lending to struggling firms.

Royal Bank of Scotland is also thought to be debating whether to pay out £968 million in May.

Barclays is the first of the high street banks poised to pay billions of pounds in the coming weeks and its decision is seen as setting a precedent on whether payouts can go ahead or whether all spare capital should be preserved until prospects are clearer.

Gary Greenwood, a banking analyst with Shore Capital, the broker, said that while the banks looked

Portside, I’m just repeating what is circulating the media. And to be honest it’s the right thing to do to pull the dividend, they need additional buffers. There would be no resignations, although the lengthy delay to make the right decision is questionable. The impact thereafter on bank share prices would be quite poor imo.

[smartie6] 26/3/2020 07:27

Portside are you sure it’s being paid?
1 billion payment at a time when cash is key, mmmmmmmm, I wonder what the credit team would say about that if a lending proposition crossed their desk from a business suffering potential liquidity issues.
I’d be watching this position vvvvveeeerrrry closely.

Stoned are you knocking another one out, you’re bedsit must be covered in tissue paper.

[portside1] 26/3/2020 07:19

Barcs agm is 10 May the div is being paid

[smartie6] 26/3/2020 07:19

Feels to me that RBS are playing a politics by not making the right decision now. May mislead the shareholders and impact the share price heavily at a time when the share has fallen and cannot absorb a further 30% fall I.e. taking it well below 80p.

No RNS as yet?
Mr Fox I believe you’re correct again. It appears to be a waiting game to see how things unfold. I note that there’s mooting this morning in the media as well as the bulletin boards that Barclays are under increased pressure to cancel theirs. I believe payment date is 3rd Apr, not sure when the AGM is/was.
If they pull it then we may see a large retrace across the board.
