who will eat all the fish anyway if we don't get a deal?

yesterday and today there has been a 5p movement during the day. Anyone brave enough for day trading Barclays?

........................and the reason??

all was looking blue, until the lockdown announcement.

Nat West and Lloyds results point to some green shoots in the UK economy. Barclays have the international investment wing that keeps the ship well afloat.

Only thing that will now give a boost, is positive news on vaccine.

Did I read that UBS are simply putting the dividend aside to pay out next year? If so, could not Barclays decide to put money aside to pay out in 2021, along with the 2021 dividend??

The Tier 1 Cap ratio is over 14% which is quite high and probably allows for dividend payout. Share price is depressed with 0% dividend. Many funds cannot buy 0% yielding shares, so any recommencement of dividend should cause a rise in SP. Mind you, NWG seem to have a higher Tier 1 Cap ration - perhaps slightly higher than 16%, so the prospect of a return to shareholders here could also increase their SP. Their results are out next Friday morning. Fingers crossed again.

Barclays were good. If NWG are also good, then summer could be here as one swallow does not a summer make, but two?????

I don't understand, given the spectacular results from the US and Swiss Investment Banks. Fair enough, UK could be a drag, but if the investment wing is good, the fear must be that Barclays would be a take over target from one of the giant banks???

Given the positivity in both the Pfizer and Oxford vaccine reports, will market open up tomorrow?

Pippa, are you on drugs? What are you trying to say?

are you on drugs?

strange to be dipping given the US results of JP and Goldman Sachs. I know there are problems in UK, but the international wing kept them up last time and should do again?????

Hard to agree with market, that NatWest and Barclays are same share price. Lloyds is a different animal, given the lower SP and the bigger number of shareholders.

Barclays have the investment wing, which seems profitable. Whatever about the UK economy, Nat West and Barclays will both be affected. One would think that NW would be hit harder than Barc.

Surely Barclays are worth more??? Or is it the drink talking??????????????????

So to summarise, it could go lower then go higher? I would disagree and think it might go higher then lower.

Spread is a tad high, dividend seems fairly secure at 4p pa. This IT seems to be good value at present.

Nice move up today.

Any reason for the sudden price drop? I would have thought that the last two investments would have held if not increased the SP???

Perhaps a split between Life and General wings should be considered? Old Mutual did such a split recently to increase shareholder value. True value must be over £7, but real value is what the market values it at, £4.25.

In the words of Corporal Jones, we are doomed. I'm out.

if anyone is interested, I'm heading into PVR. Hopefully there will be a chance to recoup losses with AEX. Alas, I had a terrible experience about 35 years ago with OSCEOLA, a child of AEX, when it was EGLINTON. Never recovered those losses!

Nice move today. Hopefully the positive move will continue.

Shares go down if bad news is anticipated. Whats the bad news here? Brexit should affect all insurers equally, as should the new plan to penalise offering better terms to new customers than existing, but is there some 'unknown' in the Aviva book that is causing the downward trend?
