    My mum bought 1000 shares in barclays bank of Kenya in 1990. I have the share certificate to date. What would be the value of such shares today? Was there a redistribution/dilution of shares between then and now?

      You're right. That's because it's not such a relevant metric for stock traders. Nevertheless, you should find it on the certificate that came with your share purchase.

    what will you opnion on buying barclays shares as they they rebrand to the largest bank in africa.Should i buy now or do i wait for the rebrand.Projects are the share price will shoot after they rebrand.

      Despite rebranding bringing with it enormous costs which take a sting on investor dividends and their sentiment, Barclays has done exceptionally well over these past two and a half years. Hence, one can only imagine that even better days lay ahead. Keep in mind that the rebranding process is due to be completed by July this year, so it's prudent to buy before then. In fact, expect investor interest to heighten prior to the date and also several months afterwards.
