Barclays Rights Issue

[Shirleyx]

Has anyone got any thoughts about the merits or otherwise of the Barclays Rights Issue, Not sure what to do. Many thanks

I've decided to take up the rights. They cost less than the present share price and even if the price drops after the rights issue, I think the share price will still be greater than the cost of the rights.

Thanks Rigby

The share price has recently fallen from 302p to 272p but I've got spare cash and am willing to hold for years so at 185p I'll be taking up my rights.

HL's Barclay's fact page. Brokers seem to like them.

Anyone still buying Barclays? The share price has been getting hammered lately, maybe a good time to buy? http://www.livecharts.co.uk/share_prices/share_price/symbol-BARC
