    USOP (strong possibility of a big share price increase in the next few weeks, slight possibility of it going bad in the same period). Check out the thread.

    Simba Energy (SMB) are a good long-term option, as they are still in the early exploration stages, but I like their chances.


    I'm invested in both.

    for me it'd be BOI. they are priced at about 8-9 c at the moment (mostly due to the economy & bad property loans they've issued). But for me...they are the best bank in Ireland (by best I mean most probable to return the govt investment & stand on their own the soonest). Also the other banks are pretty much 100% owned by govt, where BOI arent...again another thing to point towards full independence.

    it will prob take a few years before you fully realise value in them...but i reckon its a good punt now

    sorry for ressurecting an old thread....but what did you invest in and how has it done so far?

    I (finally) followed my own advise on BOI...got in at 0.165!
