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.

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.

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

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?
Called Barclays - if you take an option on the voting then your shares will be ringfenced until May.
Very disappointed, still there is a lot of buy backs yet to be used up, time will tell
Was hoping this was going to get to or break the £2 mark, in which case i could get out. Instead it would appear we are heading back to £1.80
Try a bit later, its a bear market and they may have lots of sells in the pipeline, usually the spread can indicate when they are buying as the spread gets closer,
Hi. Looking at my Barclays investment account I have noted that I cannot sell only purchase Barclays shares. Can anyone give me guidance on this?
Thanks
Thanks Dan-Alex - in that case I will let it lapse, I did not want to miss out on buying any at a reduced price but thought I may have know about it if that was the case :)
"Would someone be kind enough to put a brief description of what the Corp Action is? I am on holiday and the brochure from Barclays is huge and difficult to read from a mobile phone - thanks in advance"
From my understanding, it's just how as a share holder, you wish your vote to be cast on shareholders meeting. I couldn't find how to complete via the app, but easy enough via the online banking through smart investor. Can either choose to have no action/vote on resolutions, accept all resolutions, reject all. Can't remember if there was an option to accept some and reject some.
