// this looks odds on to go to 180 in next 2 weeks and then 250 in the summer.//
I admire your optimism.
Fair play to those who have taken a profit but unless there’s a world catastrophe this looks odds on to go to 180 in next 2 weeks and then 250 in the summer.
Good luck however you call it.

Tophat,
Thanks for explaining 8.3 and 8.5 RNS
Basically Barclays own more than 1% of shares in a company which is subject to a takeover. Changes to the number of shares they own have to be reported to the market.
Could someone explain what all the 8.3 and 8.5 means as I dont understand this, hoping to learn
See Lloyds annouced they have set aside £450m for Motor Finance Claims in todays results update.

I sold out this morning,happy with profit.Just got nervous as it looks like it may drift down.
Will keep an eye on the sp.
Anything interesting to invest ?
I also took 11% profit today, but didn't sell all. Holding on to some .GLTA
Don't blame you...took my profit yesterday...will wait till after the ex dividend but think this will drift lower...
I chickened! Took my bit of profit. Looking over the last few years SP is up and down like nobody's business so good trading opportunities without the risk of a total wipe out. Will buy back if it drops enough, but for the holders I hope it doesn't.

Can anyone tell me how much is the final dividend...?
Just when you think it's all over PCP claims come along !!
Unbelievable.
It is highly unlikely that this is a live feed free for all.
Over the last decade,
c.£16bn litigation and conduct addressed?
I'm totally with you, long way to go on this, well under valued. I've taken 10% profit and left my investment there which is a substantial 5 figure sum >£50k
£1.80 and id start to think about maybe selling....... otherwise its staying in my isa loading up on dividends forever.....
If they can make progress with Venkat's objectives, the share price should rerate. Approx £6bn splashed on buybacks at current price would reduce share count to around 11.5bn. If profits are rising at the same time, the share price ought to track quite a bit higher. As others have said, a lot can go wrong. If the financials are good over the next 12 months, that might be enough to convince the doubters. Time will tell. Fingers crossed.
@ 3LittleBirds - Ar ha ! something in common there sir, even I have sported a donkey jacket in my younger years and traded it for a pin stripe whistle.
We must have looked like cast member out of L.A lol
These days I prefer to fit in with a prison style blue shirt, nice jeans and decent boots.
Mind you i did notice a old school pit jacket being sported in Euston Station few years back, all the tags over it, he looked like a proper Charlie, really made me cringe.
Anyhow, back on track, half glass full and all that, hoping this was a breather, and not hindered a tad more leg room until Friday arvo.
Away now as the Dow is not playing fair today.

Firstly, well done and fair play to everyone banking a profit here.
Paws crossed for those waiting for it all to fall in place.
Mr A' just opened that link touché . . . scored a point back, as I nearly swallowed my brew the wrong way.
The 'side stepping' destroyed me lol.
@ JayK - start'em young chap, the only way, lord knows what my lads teacher's thought I did, as they used to call it 'Ups and Downs" try explaining that one without sounding like a parent suffering from Bipolar.
Nice to see a few familiar names popping up below, trust you are all well and in good spirits, it's not always that Barcs gets to claim some spotlight.
Few of us have had over 16 yrs chasing that carrott, certainly not waiting until 2026 to see if they succeed or fail on the current agender. Uk banks never regained returns from the capital/equity markets like we expected.
Instead Barcs BoD's still ploughed all their hope in returning to the strength they once were, which has been like listening to a retired 'puchie' boxer. The sort who live on the memory of "I could have been a contender"
All Barclays have done is waste money trying to tweak a failing rig all these years, with low rates and ECB flooding the capital markets , surely someone running a bank would add up the fact that the returns were only ever going to be little anyhow.As I have previously posted, once the FED clip the US banks wings , it should also help Barclays gain some ground over there at last.
We should see some benefits start to show after Q1 reporting with regards to income from deal making.
What Venkat is hoping to achieve in my opinion, will be quite a tall order.
1. Reducing capital base and suffer no blunders ( the latter I have less faith in quite frankly) time will tell.
2. Make good on the buybacks and returns to shareholders.
3. reduce costings from 67% down to 63% maybe if they didn't "show pony" Churchill Place it would help.
Considering our competitors manage to work below 50% !
4. Targeting ROTC around 12% by 2026 from the current 10.3% (which we are sick of hearing each year!) again seems like we have heard it all before.
IMO opinion I can only see any of this being achieved if the BoD's start respecting the shareholders, because all they have been doing is diluting the banks share price all these years, whilst just kicking the can until their pay awards cleared.
We are at a crucial stage atm, rates up and the markets are all adjusted to this new norm' there is lots of powder kept dry in the financials, we have all the right ingredients to make a decent meal, we just need to sack few thousands 2nd chef's.
All in all if we must have decent reports or the cracks will open up again.
Regards W'
I couldn't resist with my 139 avg, I had to sell it at 165.
Looking at the markets today It's held up better than I expected to be honest. If it can hold yesterdays gains through to the end of the day I would expect it to finish around 166-168 this week.
Sp, looks like it could retrace after what was a fast few days rise. Likely retracement level, would be January top, in range of 153-155.5. Initial price target was 177, but may take extra time to arrive, with retracement. DYOR.
Just as I said.
This will reach £2 by the end of March.
