They will of course work out a way of rewarding failure. If they truly believe holding the dividend is the right thing to do they would take it upon themselves to hold all bonuses. This will once again show if the board are fit for purpose or if they are as they did in the financial crisis when they secured funds abroad simply worried about their bonus.

Just read this on the news.
Just watch how barclays will get around this some creative way as they have with every other ruling given in the past around capping pays etc. They are very very good at looking after themselves but poor at looking after customers and shareholders. Watch what they do. They will come out with statements that they need to be competitive and retain talent or they will move overseas. Same old same old. Its almost laughable to predict their responses. Hope I am wrong but history will probably prove otherwise. I seeBarckays responded to the directive arounflddividendsbut have they responded about suspending bonuses including those recently promised

Nothing is surprising with Barclays. The test of the integrity if the bank will be to reverse bonuses paid for the same reason. Not for front line staff but for senior staff and the investment bankers. The same pain should be felt by all. Interesting to see if the CEO forfeits 100% of his bonus as the shareholders have. Nothing else would be acceptable.
I dont think so as this is not the way Barclays operate.
There is now no appeal for this circus anymore and I expect the shares will be dumped by the institutions . Watching the FCA closely to make a decision on the latest saga involving the CEO.
Bring in Branson and start to bring in change that can bring some hope for the future. Currently no green shoots.

2 prosecutions by the FCA
A CEO who tried to identify a whistleblower
Still same CEO who is being investigated again around disclosure of associations with Epstein.
Bring in Branson and start to get the bank on track. As long as the board wants to keep the same direction nothing will change. Just hope the regulators keep on top of them. If anyone needs it barclays do. Share price will continue to tumble as a result of coronavirus butwith lack of leadership at the top the future is uncertain.

More importantly if the shareholders get nothing then so too should staff performance bonuses go
Guaranteed they will find a way to pay their investment bankers their bonuses and as for the board, they are a law into themselves so they would be ok. Just the shareholders who would suffer.

On what is this based.

I had these paid out by IG on the day they went ex div as I have CFDs. Absolutely no chance I am paying these back. I am sure if I had short positions and had paid the dividend they would not be refunding.

Moving forward its good to know so I can get out if barclays. Without a dividend they have no appeal at all.

Anyone else in the same dividend position

FTSE AND DOW have stabilised since opening. Barclays have doubled their loss since opening

I wonder why its going the other direction. Does anyone know if there has been an update on the CEO and his disclosures around Epstien. Hopefully the regulators will sort this out and give clarity one way or another. It's clear the bank could not be transparent if left to them to simply tell the truth. None of the banks distractions have helped the SP before the falls started and now it's just caught up in the sell off

Only more pain with stocks at the moment but even more pain with stocks like Barclays. Lets hope it turns around soon but every minute it just gets worse.

Unsure why anyone would think Capita will bounce. I would love to hear anything positive about the company to give any hope. The only thing going up is their debt level.

I have considered buying but cannot think of any reason to while I understand why short sellers are rubbing their hands together. Easy pickings and can see them gone very very soon as they have no reserves to fallback on

What will the next level be. For the past 2days it has gone into the blue for a few hours but then heads south. If this happens again and it does not hold support its one way traffic and this will be a plunge. Let's hope it can find some support. Worrying that Lloyd's is holding up well.

There is a very good reason why this share is friendless. It is a dog of a bank when you take factors into account such as customer satisfaction, constant litigation and investigations and underperformance Even the CEO has faced investigations for trying to identify a whistleblower and possible lack of disclosure to the board around Epstein. The bank certainly has the opportunity to shine but each time it looks like there is a hope those managing the company go and spoil the party. I hope it turns around but in the short term it's one way traffic and not all of that can be attributed to the current crisis, much rests on the shoulders of those running the company and the decisions they have made which lead to a trust issue. Move them on.

Good luck for those holding. Long term Baclays will do okay as there will eventually be change. A bumpy road ahead.

Opening of trade hence the reason they have dropped in 6p on open. The further drop is in based on the fall in the FTSE 100 but as Barclays is so embroiled in shady practices it falls more. Until they sack the CEO this will continue as it is just one train crash after another.

How long can institutions endure barclays bad publicity. Again they are being investigated. This bank just cant stay away from shady practices. Makes me wonder do those at the top have no grip on what is going on in their bank, are those at the top are fully aware if the shady practices going on in the bank or does the bank simply lead the way in employing people they believe can lead the way in shady activities which keep the regulators busy. Regardless, the credibility suffers another blow and at some point I hope activists come in and shake up the bank for the benefit if the shareholders

Looks like one way traffic for card factory. Share price going from bad to worse. Most have sell recommendations and not without good reason
Stores may be full but costs will mount and profits fall. National minimal wage increase will hurt them and cards are becoming less popular with more competition.
Best indicator is how many shares the board own and how much they are jumping in to buy a bargain stock. NOT

I hope I wrong and would love the stock to move up but no real green shoots to get excited over since. Lost over 60% of value in recent times and continues this trend daily. Is there a way back

I just think the culture has been toxic to allow those at the top to come out unscathed. They have the board support as they would but until the big investors not small like us insist on change it will continue. If a junior manager had tried to find out the identity of a whistleblower in any organisation they would be gone but for those leading the company they get a fine. I have been an investor with Barclays for 14 years and have watched the changes destroy the SP. Let's hope it can be resolved at is should be a great investment at the right price

Barclays have shown year after year that if there is a scandal to be had they will lead from the front. Former top executive facing criminal charges and now the current CEO having been disgraceful in trying to identify a whistleblower now again involved in a scandal that mean shareholders suffer.
At what stage does common sense not prevail and instutiobal investors insist activists cone in and sort out the company as they cannot. Ashame as I have been waiting for years for Barclays to bounce back but it's always a reputational issue that holds it back and as good a bank it may be there needs to be confidence that those running the bank are fit to run the bank

The issue with Barclays is you never know what's around the corner re litigation. They are just constantly being fined for their past. Once they get over this hurdle they may have chance but one would have to be brave believing anything they say. It has been 15 years of the same so why would it change now. They just need to stop being a bank tied up in one scandal after another. This makes them easy prey

Cfds could not be supported. This stock has dropped around 50% in the past month or so. Make up your own minds but simply follow the patterns of other high street stores that have fallen. This is the same. Clearly not enough of a market, morrisons opening up card and gift shops in stores, high debt, increased national minimum wage, increased business rates. With the SP fall they will probably breach bank covenents meaning higher borrowing costs. They have already been thrown out of the FTSE 250 do institutions will happily dump the stock. I would love to be wrong and it's not sour grapes for losses. It's just looking at the reality that this share is going only I wau and this is down. Keep watching 5 to 10% per day as the short sellers put the final nail on the coffin. The high street is doomed at this rate and this will be just another casualty I hope if rises but look realistically not on hope.

Lost a bundle yesterday as the share dropped. Still falling. I now believe this will be a stocked savaged by short sellers until it is no more. This is now happening and the vultures wont stop until its sp is 0. Big mistake on my part and myself to blame. The same stock and debt issues as all the high street companies that went bust in the past 2 years. One to avoid at all costs and I expect in just a few months they will be another brand gone. As usual the company will go bust and reinvent as jessops etc with shareholders losing out

I am currently holding 40k shares at £2.10 and never thought they would go lower but how wrong. I now wish i had had never touched them. What a mistake i can only blame myself for. I will hold only because i believe in the short term there will be changes at the top and they will bring in a team who know how to succeed. Sainsburys is currently failing badly and in any other business this would not be accepted. You cannot make the mistakes they have made and destroy shareholder value and remain. The shares are an all time low - that is over 35 years and the board cannot blame market conditions as others are doing well. Just have to go into Morrisons. I would never offer advice on what to buy or sell as it is personal decision, just sharing my annoyance of the decision I made, Could be worse,
