Oh, to be sure, trek baloney is certainly a colourful character. Full of lies and fantasy, but colourful.
Barclays? What do they know?
"BARCLAYS Q1 PROFITS FALL 12% AS MORTGAGE DEMAND SUBDUED
(Sharecast News) - Barclays Bank reported a 12% fall in first-quarter profit on lower income as customers shopped around for better savings rates and mortgage deals.
Pre-tax profit for the first three months of the year fell to £2.2bn from £2.6bn a year earlier and slightly better than its own consensus forecast of £2.195bn.
Loans and advances to customers fell by 1%, "reflecting subdued mortgage lending amid lower market demand", the bank added, while deposits were fell 2% as savers chased better rates elsewhere after years of paltry returns.
Group income fell 4% to £7bn, while net interest margin - the difference between what the bank charges for loans and savings - fell to 3.09% from 3.18%.
Income at its investment division fell 7% to £3.32bn after a strong performance in equities was more than offset by lower fixed income trading and weaker merger advisory fees.
Loan default impairments fell to £58m, compared with £113m last year.

Trek's posts are outstanding against a sea of grey.
UK ten year gilt is highest for 5 months...
Both US and UK ....
High US ten year yields?
Oversold or not. It hasn't stopped the SP from sliding down again today, strangely. There must be some desperate for cash. Can't be any other reason. 🤔
Not helping with bond proxy types shares like this sadly...
By the way, panamapete, '... This must be a good sign that PHNX will rise back toward 550p. Good luck to you & your boiler room boy chums in supporting the shorts but you know your time here is limited...'
Would you care to show me where I've been critical of PHNX in any way in my posts here, or anywhere else ? It's ok, I can wait.
PanamaPete, I'll just refresh your memory and remind you I began posting about DEC when it was at double today's price, and paid a dividend THREE times higher than the current payout. Obviously you're another one with an aversion to the truth.
Greygeorge, it’s good to see you on this board. Last time I read one of your posts was on DEC when the share price was iro 850p, since when it has risen to nearly 1100p. This must be a good sign that PHNX will rise back toward 550p. Good luck to you & your boiler room boy chums in supporting the shorts but you know your time here is limited.
Clued, since you ask '...What 'proof' do you have that he's not genuine ?!!...' Let me ask you a single, simple question. Assuming you actually buy and sell shares, have you ever placed a 'stop' order to set a limit sale higher than the price your shares are trading at at the time you place your 'limit order' ? The ONLY type of 'stop' order it's possible to place on any UK investment account is a 'stop loss' order, and it's an impossibilty to set a 'stop loss' at a price HIGHER than your sheraes are trading at at the time you place the 'stop loss' order. Therefore, trek baloney has shown himself to be a fantasist, or a liar, if you will.
Be a massive bounce on this very soon, star performer and similar dividend in later summer, re investment time to come and ftse at an all time high, whats not to love and a bargain under a fiver is an absolute steal
Good article trek - music to my ears
Oh deer
Roger moore increases it to 8.50
"Berenberg cuts Phoenix Group price target to 650 (739) pence - 'buy'"
‘ On Friday, RBC Capital Markets adjusted its outlook on Phoenix Group Holdings PLC, a leading UK life insurance company. The firm increased the price target on the company's shares to GBP6.15, up from the previous target of GBP6.00, while reiterating an Outperform rating.
The revision came after Phoenix Group's stock exhibited a notable underperformance compared to its sector and the broader market. Year-to-date, the company's total share returns were down by 7%, while the UK life sector and the FTSE 100 index both saw gains of 11%. Despite this underperformance, RBC Capital noted that Phoenix Group now trades at a fiscal year 2025 dividend yield of 11.6%, which is not only near the lowest it has been in the past five years but also higher than the average yield of its peers, which stands at 9.6%.
The analyst from RBC Capital highlighted that the attractive dividend yield has led some investors to question the company's performance. Addressing these concerns, the analyst underscored Phoenix Group's positive attributes, including its improving cash generation, earnings, and leverage ratio. The firm emphasized that the company's dividend is sustainably covered, a fact that they believe is not currently reflected in the stock's valuation.
Phoenix Group's commitment to maintaining a solid dividend payout appears to be a key factor in RBC Capital's positive stance. The analyst's comments suggest confidence in the company's financial health and its capability to continue rewarding shareholders, despite the recent underperformance in its share price.’

Ps thanks guys
They do not need to even ban it. All that is required is that stock lending becomes to expensive . I.E charge the borrowers a higher fee. What actually stinks inmho is that most people who invest into pension pots would be appalled if they realise that the very same institutions loan their invesments out to unscrupalous people who afre destroying decent companioes that they afre working for inmho
I bet they dont go after Bae or RR.
Question is what will this lot go after next.
Inmv a great investment and fully understood by the investment community of what is left of hamlet of uk . the square millimetre . true brits inmho.
