    Hi there, I know this question has been asked before, however I'm new to trading and am getting a littte confused with all the information!
    I've bern advised to invest €4000 each in BOI and AIB shares.These are both one off, long term transactions. I don't intend doing any further trading anytime soon so I feel an excution only account is fine.
    Anyone any advice as to where would be cheapest to buy from? (Davy, saxo bank etc)
    I am open to either online trading or paper cert.
    Many many thanks!

    That sounds like a very speculative gamble. If I was going for shares I would only buy a company where future growth is assured.

    I would stay away from AIB shares as they are way over valued. BOI would be a better bet. Purchased shares through Computershare early July and still waiting on certificate. Cost 1% plus €60 plus 1% stamp duty.

    anyone who advised anyone to invest in AIB shares ( their a trade only right now ) is not someone who,s opinion i would value

    the percentage which floats on the market is so tiny , that who knows what the real price should be , bank of ireland is a fairly decent buy today but its not the buy it was two years ago , the likes of ryanair , kerry , glanbia , paddy power , all of the those companies are likely to do just as well in the next decade as bank of ireland

    DO NOT BUY AIB SHARES and get a new adviser. Even Michael Noonan told everyone they are worth closer to 2c than 10c.

    That's never the case

    Well you are right. 'Assured' is the wrong word. What I meant was a company that has good prospects of growth. These Irish banks do not have good prospects at all.

    €32 minimum transaction charge each way was pretty much it with Goodbody when I did it. For the sake of convenience, I just did it in my Dad's account to avoid any annual charges for myself. I think the annual charge was €25ish

    Sigh, i hate to say it but TD is the only way to go really, the interface is crap, but if you dont mind that and can keep track of your portfolio in excel (google a macro that can retrieve prices for you) then its managable.

    No maintenance fees if your portfolio is worth over 5000, €15-20 comission per trade
