    Too early to jump in, even with a small stake?

    Dont think aib is worth 30bn in share cap...quick in and out may be ok but buy n hold and you will be wiped out as gov owns circa 95%

    Would prefer BOI - but wouldn't be putting the house on it.

    As a general buy and hold investor I would be very reluctant to buy AIB. They currently have 513 billion shares outstanding, giving them a market cap of €37.7 billion. Granted this is not liquid as the govt almost own it all, but I believe they value their shares at 1c rather than the current market price of 7c.

    Given the reluctance of most Irish banks to write down debt, but a preference to kick the can down the road as much as possible it is very difficult to estimate whether the capital cushion that is there is enough. S & P don't seem to think so

    Will be interesting to see how the personal insolvency legislation will effect things.

    Personally I'd avoid all Irish banks, but if I did have to pick one to invest in, it probably would be BOI, not AIB. There may be an opportunity for trading in and out here, but that's not for everyone.

    can believe there is movement in AIBs share price, shows how little clue the market has
