10k - what to invest in

djtechnics1210

Hi guys
have approx 10k to invest at the moment.
Last shares I bought were boi/aib.
Lookin for some opinions on what you guys think would be a good buy at the
moment.
I'd usually only look at Irish shares, and I have never invested much apart from maybe two or three times over last 5 years.
Was looking at the Irish shares, all are fairly low at the moment.
Would be obliged for any info or advice on what I should consider investing in

thanks again

I quite fabcy ryan air for the long term. The more Aer Lingus goes into the gutter, the higher Ryanair will soar in my opinion. It's probably a matter of time before Ryan Air is ruling european & perhap further afield.

good luck with your investment.

Maybe consider the certificates from An Post - good returns there.

Check out United Drug, probably one of the safest irish shares on the market at the moment. This is a healthcare stock i.e. defensive play. (I should'nt really use the word safe when referring to shares and equities!)


Plus it is considerably undervalued as there is nothing drastically fundementally wrong with it, compared to historic price levels.

Its last results were affected by the sterling exchange rate: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/20091118/united-drug-revenue-upbut-margins-squeezed.htm

This is only my opinion, as always do your own research!

What happens to aerlingus will have very little impact to ryanair share price. In the past, ireland was worth a lot to ryanair but not so anymore. Only 15 odd per cent of their fleet is based here. Personally, i wouldnt invest in ryanair or any airline for that matter. As economies recover, demand for energy will increase, so the price of oil will increase. This will need to be offset somehow.

RB,
fair enough, but would you agree that the lower Aer Lingus goes, the more likely a RyanAir takeover is, thereby expanding their capacity & capability?

The government are the kingmakers of any link up between ryanair and aerlingus. They were at their knees last year when the offer was 1.50 or whatever it was and still said no. If the offer next time is 90 cent they will still say no. The amount of revenue from those prices is small fry compared to what we are spending each and every day as a country. The policy across all political parties is for a two airline policy. I believe the government will give aerlingus every opportunity to get its shop in order, even letting it go to the wall if needs be rather than give it to o'leary in my opinion.

In fact, for the 10k, might worth buying aerlingus shares to make a quick buck. Despite O'learys constant claim that he will not be making a third bid, I would be very surprised if he didnt make bid jan/feb once takeover rules permit him to do so after his previous bid last year. Could make a nice return, if the bid was 80-100 cents.

buy dragon oil it is almost guaranteed to be bought out by enoc for 455p a 10% plus gain in the short term, and even if it is not bought out it is way under valued, i am waiting for 5000 to be lodged in my account and it is all going on dragon

There was a saying once, the best way to make a million euro investing in airlines, is to start of with a billion euro!

What do you guys think of investing in gold, i hear a lot of people talking about it but im not sure what the hype is all about.
im looking to invest in something and make some sort of return on my 10k in a few months, dont want to keep it invested in something that will take a year or more to rise.

what about some of the small priced shares on irish market, they any good for investing in.
