If someone had 20k to spare and wanted to buy some shares what would be the best investment at the moment - excluding Bank of Ireland and all bank shares??

Is there any reason that you are only interested in the Irish market? The only reason im asking is you are severely limiting the choice of potential investment products

Well I deal with Davy - I have never bought shared outside Ireland - but if you have any suggestions I'd love to keep an open mind ??

Technically I would interpret Irish market to include Irish based cos? I would recommend :

Greencore
Aryzta
Kerry
Glandbia
Kingspan
Origin Enterprises
Irish Continental Group

For companies who shares are traded on ISEQ I've highlighted in bold

Hi,

I heard on the news BOI is doing well, I'm not into financial stuff so don't know all the numbers, so I am on to ask would BOI be a good bet, or are there stuff I don't know still hanging around?

Boi is doing ok to be honest. I bought in at 28 about a year who, now shares are almost 32 cent.

So a 10% return .

They do seem stagnant at 31-33 the last 6 months or so. But they have posted huge profits so maybe share price will rise again

I rarely invest in the Irish market and don't limit your portfolio to just one or two stocks. I use a US broker too

Without sounding presumptious if this is your first time investing please make sure you understand the risks involved with investing. Most of the time its a long term investment.

the irish market has performed incredibly well this past few years , way ahead even of the u.s market and has left the major european indices for dust

glanbia
ryanair
kerry
paddy power
greencore
bank of ireland
smurfit kappa

all those companies have doubled in the past four years and in the case of glanbia , it has quadrupled since early 2011

the irish market is actually very expensive at the moment for the most part , if CRH were not the biggest component , it would appear very over valued

You could also consider a company like One51. They appear to have turned things around and some big players have bought up large numbers of shares recently. There was an article in the SBP about them on Sunday. Apparently they are getting ready to list this year.

sounds like a high risk small cap
