Dave

In my opinion you are wasting your time trying to explain - as good an explanation as it is.

There are only so many times you flog a dead horse.

Well I'm certainly hoping so, cheers.

And an actual sincere thanks to rugbyman.

when this financial crises is over and profit starts returning to banks would dividend payments start to be made by banks by first quarter of profit?

There is a rumour starting to circulate that a certain Irish Business Man has been building a stake in AIB and is up to 12%, but I thought an investor had to declare an interest which exceeded 3%, so maybe the rumour is rubbish!

pocketdooz · 26-01-2009 7:14pm

It's probably Sean Quinn. Sure he made a killing on his Anglo stake . . .

Liam Carroll, Sean Quinn and several other Irish businessmen have used CFD's to build up stakes in listed companies.

Hey. Ok, so I have never traded in my life. When I saw AIB shares at 60c I felt it was well worth a gamble. I have been desperately trying to get an account open to trade shares and it will be tomorrow or day after before my transfer of 5,000 has gone through and I can trade.
Meanwhile the shares have gone from 60c to 120c. Had I managed to buy at 60c I would have sold half my shares which would have returned my inital investment and the rest I would have left as a free long term gamble. Now I am wondering is the opportunity for the quick killing (as reward for risking all) now gone?
Do people feel they will now just settle and fluctuate slightly or is there still room for increasing shares?
In summary, have I lost my chance in the last few days or is there still a killing to be made is I am willing to take the risk of nationalistaion. Advice appreciated

So do you want the long term or the quick killing? Would help answer the question

What would you have done (having bought at 60 cent) when the share price fell from 60 to 30 cent in the space of 2 days? Would you have sweated?

Qwertysurf · 28-01-2009 1:11am

Quick killing!!

Qwertysurf · 28-01-2009 1:14am

buying at 60c dropped to 30c i would definetly have sweated and probably felt My full investment was on its way down!! but i know that when they are this low, its maybe all or nothing!

Idu · 28-01-2009 8:32am

No way of knowing for sure but from my experience if you had got your shares at 60c and you had seen them go to 30c then you would have been happy to get your money back so talking about this unrealised profit is pie in the sky. The delay in setting up your account probably just saved you some money in brokerage fees

wyndham · 28-01-2009 11:26am

€1.53. Somebody hoovering up shares big time. That you Dermot?

Idu · 28-01-2009 11:30am

It isnt necessarily one person. The shares are just finding their way naturally back to the price they were at before the fear of nationalisation. Simple market dynamics really. All markets have rallied the last few days

pocketdooz · 28-01-2009 11:47am

AIB due for a shrp correction from €1.53 by the end of the week.

Due to Profit Taking.

Mr Benevolent · 28-01-2009 12:40pm

Correction? I don't understand. The price is due to drop?

(apologies for showing ignorance)

Yes a correction or fall.

Mr Benevolent · 28-01-2009 12:56pm

If that's the case, then why are people buying now and not waiting until it drops on Friday?

For people to be buying, other people must be selling, right ?

all you got to figure out is who you are in agreement with, the buyers or the sellers . . .
