That seems logical to me
I think insurers a good play in this environment maybe banks also
Rates go up good for NIM but can cause issues with defaults/ bad debt and a more limited lending market. Fine balance between increase in profits and tanking either way
Barclay's IS undervalued regardless of which way the interest rate goes.
Please tell me if I am right or wrong
.
Banks make more money when interest rates go up
Therefore a bank is a interest rate hedge.
Right now the supposed reduction in rates seems less likely, so barclays probably undervalued
Happy to be told this is rubbish, I want opinions
Investment banks in USA have just had a better than expected Q1, This would lead me to believe Barclays will have the same out come next week.
Hi All,
My feeling is that this is really quite an important moment. If the basic financials are in line and they can show concrete, if small, steps inline with the strategy, that could be the thing that encourages institutional investors the corner has turned.
Being invested in Barclays over the past years is a bit like following West Ham United (my team) - just when you start to believe it all goes horribly wrong...
If the Institutional lot start to take positions, then I think we could see a steady rise to over 200p.
I would be interested in others thoughts.
Morning Mr A, sorry its been a mental week and I have been trying to keep the kids entertained without the use of a TV haha. Yes I remember your last trade, it was a great one so not easily forgotten. I think when your money isn't on the line you are in a much calmer state, as long as your not desperate to make money in the markets, I guess when day trading you can feel that way when in an out the markets or visa versa.
I've not looked at the charts in a while nor have a done any day trading, life is all about the kids and having fun at the moment, but I do need to get back in front of the screen from May onwards. It's funny after having kids I feel more content and I am not chasing money or things, everything feels good, I think I'll trade better when I get back into day / swing trading just due to this mindset change.
Once I get in on the charts I will surely post as I have seen people as questions from a chart view, but I just haven't had the time. ATB.
Nationwide is customer friendly. Big Banks are all the same.
On-line banking. That means I am no longer spending as much as I
spent in the past and my life has become uncomplicated.
Cash is still in circulation .
Normally a setting on your online platform. Just browse the settings and you should find. I normally only have it on for shares where I get small amounts, as most platforms don't charge you for the re-investment. For bigger amounts, I will always assess what to do with the cash. Anyway, that's just my own approach.
Hi all, does anyone know how to get dividends in cash rather than reinvesting in shares? I had about £2k in divis, which bought me about 1000 shares, unfortunately at £1.93! Would you recommend taking them as cash or reinvesting? I’m still hoping these will get back to £4 or even £5 after a decade of being low.
You're a greedy idiot....:))
Like many others, I was hoping to secure some profits, perhaps around £2 or £2.20. However, the price has dropped from £1.94 back to £1.82. It seems to be reversing. Is this just a temporary dip, or are we headed back down? Call me greedy or an idiot; I don't mind.

Barclays Plc (BARC:LN) (BCS) PT Raised to GBP2.60 at Morgan Stanley
Morgan Stanley analyst Alvaro Serrano
https://www.streetinsider.com/dr/news.php?id=23042542
Morgan Stanley stock analyst Alvaro Serrano issues a Buy rating for Barcs with TP set at £2.60.
Not many on here will have bought for £7.
This share was around £7at one time why is it so low now. Is it ONLY due to financial crisis or something else as well?
Morning JayK,
All good thanks. Hope you and your clan are all in fine fettle.
As you are probably aware, currently and patiently, sitting "outside of the tent" and looking for an in for a swing trade if and when I feel ready. Personally I always seem calmer when I have no skin in the game. Is that always the way?
Not sure where the true bottom/retrace from the intra-day 52 week high of 194.80 actually is, but the US Banks reporting may give a clue/steer today and next week... or may be not (as I chuckle to myself).
Good luck my friend,
Regards, MrA
Morning Mr A, hope your doing good :) - I don't see any disasters yet, the ECB keeping interest rates the same wasn't what the markets wanted, that impacted indices for sure. We just need good printing from everywhere haha, we can dream.
ATB
Evening All,
Barclays will be second out of the traps on this occasion.
Wed 24 Apr 24 Lloyds
Thu 25 Apr 24 Barclays
Fri 26 Apr 24 Nat West
Tue 30 Apr 24 HSBC
Thu 2 May 24 Standard Chartered
Regards, MrA
Thanks eviking, to expand a tad, US banks earnings kick off the earnings season tomorrow with JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo reporting.
Any mention of distress in commercial real estate and weak loan growth will be pounced on, but stellar results could bolster expectations that a June Fed rate cut is now off the cards.
US consumer sentiment will be interesting after a hotter-than-expected CPI print. Plus, the UK releases monthly GDP and industrial output numbers.
On the basis that, typically, the US Banks set the direction of travel and the UK banks tend to follow, then it should prove to be an interesting follow.
Regards MrA
Us banks reporting 2mr
The census is mediocre sidelining atb
Barchart says hold
Bloody Barcs - Would have been better returns investing in Metro with the Brazilian owner holding plus 50% of the metro stock with an average of 39p a share. Just why I keep going for the suppoused 'safe shares'.
Riddled with market players.
So much for returning £10billions of capital back to the shareholders in dividends and shares buy backs between 2024 and 2025. Investors can't wait thar long.
No - The reason was I had voted in the corporate action - contacted Barclays and they then, under instruction, they removed my vote and then I can sell if I require.
Are you with Hargreaves?
Might be that you have a trade underway with those shares, maybe from an auto reinvestment of the dividend?
