Since the turn of the year. Obviously he could not complete his rounds at Christmas. Waiting now for good annual results and a hefty dividend rise. At least we out and out Remainers will have something to cheer about before those leavers start cheering. REMEMBER a week is a long time in politics
Will start on monday. After all,you have to believe in something
This is a pathetic company for shareholders - SP down down , no dividend for years. Can I say this here “CRAP” - forget the fundamentals - won’t give it any more detail - hope it doesn’t treat it customers the way it treats its shareholders.
Was meant to say custody fund license. This should help the sp to move up a bit but way off my buy price 900p.
Still banks can have a massive turn around in profits so will see the slump out.
Standard chartered are the 1st bank to enter into agreement with Chinese for internal commercial license.
Some of these. Wonder where it will be next year or weeks, A bank with massive potential, maybe gobbled up.
Probably not, wicked!
THESE MAY BE WORTH SELLING A PUT OPTION ON.
The bank is not being run for the benefit of shareholders but for the benefit of the staff. The bonuses are huge and are not linked at all to share price. The massive bonuses are paid if a ROE of 8% is reached which is very low and only enough to pay an annual divi of 20p. Not enough to move the share price above £10 ever again. There is a forecast dividend yield of 3% which is derisory compared to where it was 5 years ago. This company has been the worst performing FTSE 100 company for 4 years in a row. Bill Winters needs to go urgently.
Nice add. Well done.
Wish i'd waited for sub 700. Still, very happy with my average price of 715.00
Half year results due early August.
FTSE down 170 odd. What a battering! Added more today though! Bargain price????

Many thanks for the reply Lucan . I knew you had not drowned in the channel!
Guardian. Barclays reported to be exploring merger with Standard Charter.
Only if you elected to have the shares rather than the cash, otherwise you get cash.
I assume this means I will get some shares rather than cash!
Having made 25% here back in early 2016 when the price had dropped to around 425p earlier this week I felt it was time to get back in. To me SP movement since the low on 4th April suggests the trend is now upwards so I got in at 729p earlier in the week and intend to hold for longer than I did in 2016. At the same time I also bought Virgin Money which will surely be subject to a bid some time soon.
Generally brokers recommendations are to buy. Almost 90%. .They very rarely put out sell notices.
Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it. 👍
It may hit �9 but it will not be this month! As for brokers, I would ignore what they suggest. Do your own research. This is a very slow share with a cautious well paid CEO. I am confident this share will not reach �16 this side of 2025.
At this current high price is it worth a buy as a few brokers are saying £9.00 per share. Would appreciate any feed back. Thanks
"3.5% ROE is pretty bad" Still its not negative! It is still on a journey with an 8% "milestone" to come. When will that be next year or 2020? wake me up when it gets to mid teens

are they paying divi again...if so how much ?thanx
I am going to sit on my investment for the foreseeable future. I think the far east is great place to have a bank plus SC seem to be well in with the Chinese. The results are coming from a more stable bank than they were a few years ago so as long as TO and profit keeps improving which it should then the SP should not fall too far. Plus with interest rates going up in the USA and worldwide it should be a much better environment for banks to make money. So it could actually do very well in say 5 to 10 years.
