Member Info for MrWolf

Well done Mr A, was just about to log off and see a new post, great minds alike, best of luck with your trade.
Didn't expect it to trigger my alert until Monday am, was hoping for 151/ 152.
In fact I only just posted my re entry as you did ask when I place and close my Barcs.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Please do not be polite and reply as im literally out the door in 30 seconds.
Regards W'

Just a quick log in and out, just placed again, alert triggered at 153, managed a mid 152.
Quite chuffed in fact.
Wish others a great weekend, GLA

As we have just cleared a basic 5 wave up, maybe take a breather here?
Closed my current little earner and looking for a retrace possibly to 151 / 152 then launch (Not as high a Kane's penalty) but enough to take me in to my original T of 170+
As per I will post on re entry lol
Like others state too, always DYOR
GLA

Morning Bhavik
Yes another fantastic proverb to share "The trend is your friend" lol
As already shared a few times now Im targeting 170's off the back draft from 135, had to nurse the SL from tight to wide a few times, couple of closures and re entry's on R of sticky 200 EMA .
As Hannibal used to say "I love it when a plan comes together" waiting patiently since July, this last run has been a rewarding peach.
Really must crack on as this LSE is a bad distraction lol.
Have a constructive, profitable day
Regards W'

In fact, the record, as some people do like a good quote lol
John and AJ did not see eye to eye at all when it came down to share holders. AJ was placing the dividend 3rd on his list.
John stepped in out, out went AJ

In Johns own words . . . That his plans were of closing the share price discount to tangible book value, restoring a DECENT DIVIDEND and to "Get the errors of the past, behind us" whilst achieving a satisfactory rate of revenue growth.
"Greater cost discipline and more dynamics reallocation at the top of Barclays, "Could be measured in MONTHS"

Now I ask anyone, with half an academic brain, how can that be translated into "Ill double the share price in 12 / 24/ or 36 months" ?
Must get on as im trying to fleece a few weak cable traders out of their S'L's atm lol
GLA

Morning Razzledaz . . . thats just my point, John, never did make that statement.
It was taken from part of a speech in the town hall meeting, staff not public that evening.
Where a member of staff thought it was clever to mis quote to the press associate at the time.
John was not in favour with some of his adjustments as chair, same as Jez falling for "M's) practical joke referencing the John 2 Newbie's GMAIL prank.
As you quite rightly point out "3 yrs not 1" as I know full well, that John never actually made that statement, it bares no need to be quoted, from a 3rd party staff member that mis quoted it in the 1st place, surely ?
P.S - Do hope you are building up a nice holding / position here atm and if I may be so bold as to quote a well known (non disputed) proverb "Make hay, while the sun shines"
Unless others feel our SP is going south, not north over the next 12 months / 3 years - gla
Regards W'

Hi there
Not sure how well you gaged Barcs back then, though A.J nealry buried the bank before Jes.
Jes should have been in there before AJ but the offer / position never got secure, sadly.
When our Mr Staley did finally take up the seat, he did what he knew best, which was throw money at the IB.
Something I did question at the time and the effect it had on the kitty, reflecting on a good moan about the dividend too.
You may or may not have inside knowledge of the Banks workings, though I graciously rejected a position when Jes asked me in person to join his team.
Like you and many others quote John for "promising to double the share price" well may I be so forward as assist you in what really was said.
In the town hall (staff only) John proudly announced that he "See no reason as to why the share price, could not be doubled, with the next 12 months" this was in fact leaked to the media, by a member of staff and mis quoted.
John had an sincerely felt the fundamentals in place at that time, would have seen the sp gain strength.
Even I believed it would of and had the potential if not for the sentiment headwind.
If you do not feel this to be the truth behind what was actually quoted, email The Westpac, FAO of his PA , John's a really sincere, decent bloke, he's always made time for my family when we crossed paths.
In fact he is probably the best person ever to walk through them doors at Churchill Place.
Well, thats just me sharing my opinion, maybe you know something I wasn't privy too, if it wasn't for ole Jeff being a wrong en, Jes would still be in the seat and doing a damn good job !
Without going into war an peace lol
I bid you good evening as I must dash.
Regards W'

Morning M1k3y
Since post crash and the fiasco RI with Jenkins, yes, one would have to agree with you there.
Pre crash the div via Dodgey Bob days were pretty decent going tbh, which is why I put my paw in back then.
Its the manipulation (out of favour) attitude thats restricted Barclays sp . . . Taking QATAR's support scuppered a few (corporation) piggies, who had their snouts pushed away. Which was clearly heard and felt throughout a few institutions back then.
Barclays will never be the bank it was, so we all will just have to make do lol
Not far now, tuppence more to the annual divi and Ill stop moaning .
Just waiting for the yanks to wake up and shake off their hangover, then we hopefully will see some activity.
Cable has been a nice little earner of late, still room for improvement there too.
Off now, have a profitable day
Regards W'

... "Not sure where is the 3p dividend talk coming from? "
If you glance back and read just 2 posts, Seaking1 did explain he had mistakenly glanced at Divimaster (Which only display the past, recent post div amount) hence the banter of an electric shock reply lol.

Badjob . . . Yes, if they do stick to their progressive dividend and only add the smallest amount "Fur will fly" when I get to speak with Mr Higgins next, as for Mr Morzaria taking his bonus during the basic 1st year accountancy c**k up, beggars belief !
Ole Venkat needs to reimburse us share holders, with what counts ! not just empty smiles either.
So if they do take the p155 next Feb / March I wont hesitate and remind them of the suspended dividend has not actually been factored in as a progressive one, since stalling from 2019 !
Do they actually believe we all went to live on MARS for 24 months ?
Jes and John "Mac The Knife" both knew full well what the crowd wanted, they actually did start to implement it too.
If Jes was still in the seat im certain we would not be looking at such a poor reinstated divi and p*** poor S.P atm !
GLA

Evening S1, one is not usually caught on here this late in the day, though i've been playing with cable today.
Just winding down and took a gander on here, out of politeness I always return / acknowledge posts as and when I see them.
Humorously, you mention "electric shock" funny as when I see a hopeful 3p for the next div' poor Mrs Wolf nearly had to run down the local doctors and grab a defibrillator off the wall, she thought I was going in to cardiac arrest lol.
Please accept my apologies, i'm the last person on here to correct anyone, the reply was meant in jest.
Must log off now, been a long day, one of which I should admit has been over traded.
Mrs Wolf is being exceptionally thoughtful this evening, bet she thinks Ive had it away today, she's after something ?
Either way, bid you a good evening .
Regards W'

Good morning M1k3y and badjob.
That is what they want to happen, hoping everyone will just give up throwing the hot potato around.
What I find disturbing is the fact that we do not really live within a free society, in fact we adhere to rules set with striking similarity to the Marxist theory.
The british public are ruled under authoritarian statute (Our Gov' are a law to themselves) whom administer through centralism a single centralised party apparatus / the corporation.
How the heck can we the public live and vote, elect a party (Who are all a shower of ****) whilst they themselves abide by the rules set out, from within the square mile.
Without rattling on, does anyone reading this believe ole Risky and Hunt are running the show ?
Mr Wolf has always understood that the City Of London "The Corporation" runs the show.
Anyone ever heard the name Nicholas Lyons ? Well he is currently our public face for the "String pullers" in the UK.
Anyone who owns shares in the banking sector, should know who José Manuel Campa is.
He is actually the one who took over as Chair of the European Banking Authority (EBA) his predecessor Fat Boy Bailey shared many a pie with, the C.B sent out the order for Bailey and Woods, to screw over us share holders of our dividends. Some of you might be thinking "But we weren't in the EU since 2016"
Great Britain back in the day (commonwealth) started all these offshore financials in way of protecting the pound.
Eg. Places like Africa had a national debt of 10% of the value of the amount it generated / generates, which gets migrated out the country into the offshore hubs (set up by the UK & US corporation's and also China.

If enough investors rallied together and publicity causing enough noise, (having a case to answer) we might stand a chance. The closest I managed to get, was the "Stone Wall" perimeter of the BoE, realising the tight relationship they hold with the Corporation !
It does not matter if you invest your savings in $$atWest, Lloyds or Barclays, ect . . . at the end of the day our money is invested indirectly within the corporation.
In reality, we the public can not even get within a whisker of them, as we are outside their laws and statute (despite they are bang in the centre of London, UK)
Yes the "corporation" is above OUR law, they have their own. Fact not fiction.
As per DYOR this is not meant to come across as a furry rant, just to share with others, those who really control this country.
We the investors and british public are no more than blurting sheep.
Still sheep at the end of the day, just some are sheep in wolves clothing lol.
Having explained my reason for the under laying anger, having my dividend STOLEN, which it was, under our commercial laws, which in turn are based on common law . . . No I will not stop chucking that hot potato.
The US Thanks Giving this week, doubt we will see any needed volume until next week now.
GLA

The Reducer, CEREUS and BadJob
The questionable aspect regarding the terminology over the timing of the ECB (Ole Costas H'O the clearing B) ordering / telling Sam Woods over here at the PRA / basically the curtain twitcher's at the BoE. "To postpone", no mention back then of cancel ! We were all within 48 hrs of the dividend going through . . . Great April fools joke that turned out to be, aye !

. . . In response to a request from the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) the UK’s seven largest banks are to suspend £15bn of dividend payments to shareholders and halt buybacks on ordinary shares until the end of 2020, and will also cancel payments of any outstanding 2019 dividends

The PRA wrote to HSBC, Nationwide, Santander, Standard Chartered, Barclays, RBS and Lloyds asking them to agree to publish a statement it had drafted.

This read: ‘In order to help us to serve the needs of businesses and households through the extraordinary challenges presented by Covid-19, the board has decided that until the end of 2020 we will undertake no quarterly or interim dividend payments, accrual of dividends, or share buybacks on ordinary shares.

‘In addition, in response to a request from the PRA and to preserve additional capital for use in serving our clients, the board has agreed to cancel payment of any outstanding 2019 dividend. Our board will decide on any dividend policy and amounts at year-end 2020.’
SO WHERE IS THE HALF OF 2018 THEY OWE EVERY SINGLE SHAREHOLDER FROM THE DATE PRO RATA, BEING THE LAST PAYMENT ?
After all they (Barclays) did swap from quarterly, to half yearly.
This still makes my p*** boil thinking about it, some on here are probably reading this, thinking its in the past, forget about it. If you are one of them thinking that, may I ask if you would feel the same way, if someone "stole" enough to buy a brand new family car from your bank account, because thats what they basically did to me in caparison.
Absolutely criminal what they Barclays did, like Reducer points out, "deliberately hiding behind a Govt directive". Which is exactly what they did.
Having gone at the BoE, PRA and Barclays they all refer back to the LSE and some paragraph about dividends.
Though the things that niggles me is that Barclays Nige Higgins)publicity said that they were well capitalised to pay the dividend, the 2nd clause was if the said company was going into liquidation and could not continue to operate.
SO NEITHER OF THE LSE RULES THEY ALL REFER TO APPLY , so where where is my pro rate EX dividend payments gone then Barclays ?
If anyone else gives 2 flying chuffs, maybe we can take a private action like they keep doing over the pond, currently claiming back lost shares holders money for incompetence regarding the over selling fiasco.
Crikey we are too soft and accepting in the U.K
Rant over ( Any mention of the div gets my hackles up)

3p ! Crikey, there will be blue murder if they that $%^ next Feb lol
Last final was 4p . . . If a min' 5p does not prevail as a final, Ole Nige best have ear protectors at hand, for when we next cross paths.
Not one member on that BoD can say they've are not easily replaced !
Regards W'

Good afternoon Mr A,
Trust this day finds you all well and in profit, im sure you will find an entry point to "lump on" as we are approaching the playground bulldog soon (The 200 MA) always get a bite from that lol.
Fortunately yesterdays punt is looking tempting to close too, just logged on to monitor the US waking up, hopeing for a positive nudge and I'm closed out, until we clear through the 200, still looking @ 170 mind you.

Seaking1, Yes indeed, far better than it could have been.

Razzledaz, yes but look at the profits they have achieved in playing with near zero interest rates. Lots of negative is out weighed with better rates. Barcs have had to restructure its books several times this last decade.
It does appear that finally the, re: Tide is turning lol

M1k3Y, hope your well, most of those articles all read far more positive than hesitant for once.

Trust you all have a nice weekend.
Regards W'

Morning 2 all,
Mr A, you did enquire if I would keep your good self abreast .
So, having stalked my last position from months back with a T of 170 from 134 back on the 12th Oct.
With this week and hitting the buffers (EMA & breaching tight framed RSi) I closed out for 159.40 (Posting last Fri 10.55am)
leaving me cautious as to what lay lurking over the weekends tension.
Which I am glad I did now, as all hell could have broken loose if over them two stray missiles. If not for a few keeping their heads and avoiding hand bags at dawn.
Barcs charts yesterday had a few short term false signals, even caught out a friend who got stopped out at 154 (from 15.94) confident he was grabbing the early worm, couldn't see it myself. Though in fairness he's usually bang on.
So taking a step in advance myself today I have gone L @ 153.75 / S @ 152 having gained a few % on the slight EMA resistance and budget hesitance.
Anyhow I hope this sticks and we can look forward to my original T into 170.
Paws crossed, GLA

. . . An option to buy Brent crude for $200 per barrel in March 2023 at one point last week became the most traded contract on the market, signalling that despite concern about Chinese demand, expectations of tighter supply were still going strong.
Just what we need to price in alongside a nice run of stagflation lol

What is still niggling in the back of my head, is Fat Boy smugly saying his fave word "Transitory"
The bloke may have a great c.v, in reality he is nothing more than a blundering, lying disgrace.
Who is not fit to be G' at the BoE.
Before anyone thinks ole Mr W's just on a rant lol DYOR on Bailey.

UK M.P .....‘We need to take a root-and-branch look at this. I therefore support a further investigation along the lines of the Elizabeth Gloster Report on London Capital and Finance, which was extremely critical of the FCA and individuals within the FCA – including Andrew Bailey.’
Not to mention him lying to a government enquiry panel, over his acknowledgement of critical emails he sent regarding RBS, back in the day when Mark Wright blew the whistle.
How can we the public / tax payers have someone so dishonest taking control of our monetary system, beggars belief ! Honestly makes me question the fact, is our government not just taking strategic reference, from old sketches out of Yes, Prime Minister ?
Is there anyone in power with influence to stop these fools ?
Because all I can see is a train wreck, trashed NHS, abusing our back bone British farmers (Bojo's botched NZ / Australia free trade deal)
"But we can sell them lots of whiskey and biscuits !" Completely destroying living standards for Joe Average whilst trying to pay commuting costs, child care, mortgage repayments and lets not forget "eating or heating " for our OAP's (who we should be respecting and looking after)
Personally I could not care if the tax rate went upto 50% and VAT 25% just as long as I knew the younger generation and OAP's got looked after first (the word "first" being used in an expansive term.
Our government has let this country implode in broad daylight, crippling the banking industry under it powers.
Crikey the money the FCA alone, has fined Barclays over these years is criminal, compared to what Bailey has cost the economy.
On that note I thought I would glance at my current chart, still waiting for re entry lol
GLA

The chance they both took out grain storage units too ! Nice Russian patsy going on there ?

Good Morning MrA
Trusting this day finds you well, despite our haze / blanket of fog, un like Malta, nice choice for a break.
Yes a destination I used to drive down to a few times a year, then fly back, friends have a few interests on Tanks Street, Birzebbuga.
Don't be too concerned about the cut backs, everyone's doing the same atm, CIB arms are chopping staff, as per.
Having closed (temp) my last position before T due to the lack of momentum. Which I can only put down to Hunt moving forward to the 17th. Looking to place it again once I get the right signals, more left in the tank with that.
Either way Im just off to huff & puff at some tenants, it's amazing how so many people "know their rights," whilst trying to live rent free for over a year !
On one hand we have the government making it hard as possible to evict selfish tenants (despite I do help the decent ones out) then on the other, the government thinks that just because tax payers money bailed out the banks, Barclays also owes the treasury that same favour, well think again !
How is anyone supposed to make an honest profit without just throwing money at the HMRC all the time ?
Just hoping that Hunt "By name," does not cause too much projected damage this week, for all our sakes.
GLA

PIng pong ding
Mr A, do hope you had a nice week away . . . sharing my inept train of thought I just closed out the latest prey.
Originally I was hoping to T of 170, though considering the week ahead, it seemed the sensible option, still its enough for Mrs W to scurry down to Aldi and grab a deal on some frozen lamb chops lol

Eastern Investor . . . loving the optimism "Barcs not messing up for at least 12 months" we can only live in hope lol

JayK . . . The writing was on the wall for the crypto exchanges, they can not survive in a positive rate environment. Lot of people left upset finding out the King wasn't actually in designer clothes lol
Though ole Fat Boy does keep hinting and pushing for the digital £, not if but when.
Best of luck with the landscaping, always best to leave that to the professionals.
Especially at our den . . . As I told the police officers, it was a simple misunderstanding. Mrs W clearly said to me that she wanted "Decking on the patio"

Rookie1 . . . Fundamentals and common sense went out the window with all the QE, lot of headwind very soon, though we all need to consider the overall picture, funds are already (not the ole school x3 months ahead) working on the basis of x6. Most are just waiting for the tanker to reverse its course.
Hence the happy clappers went risk on yesterday over the pond.

Bloggins . . . Typed with sincerity. If you can give a little and make a few adjustments for any bad grammatical errors lol, why not join this board. Sure you will find everyone on here are decent folk, welcome any constructive input always appreciated. Banter always appreciated.
GLA

Hey JayK . . . . the thing is that I don't this morning was madness, few of us were waiting to L Cable pre US waking up.
Which I had 1.13783 with S @ 1.13600 only just closed, great end to the day. Hence I peaked a look on here.
The topic of our convo the past few days has been FTX, what a ponzi scheme that was lol even suckered in the NASDAQ whale Softbank, Tiger got their tummy tickled too.
Wevva (Sorry had to do that just for devilment) we see a nasty recession or not, I'm more in favour of the opportunity and watching the snowflakes melt away this next Q' & I do agree a lot of fin's related to rate increments do seem to be finding their feet atm.
Regards W'
