I bought BOI shares off Sharewatch and received a contract note for my purchase. Is this my Share Certificate or how do I get my SC? thanks

Thanks for the reply but I bought them last year and never received an actual share certificate. Would my contract note constitute as a SC or how would I actually get the SC. Actually I think they hold the shares in trust so maybe I wont get a SC?

Whats the best way to trade online from Ireland these days for someone who wont be making a lot of trades but will still want to keep an eye on their portfolio and be able to buy or sell quickly if required?

I dont know. I would suggest you ring sharewatch for a definitive answer.

I have bought many times using sharewatchs small shares service and received a SC a few weeks later.

Im starting to think an account with National Irish Bank might be the way to go for me:

Ill only be making a couple of trades a year though, long term value investing mostly but it'll be nice to have the online service there aswell, no annual fee is the main thing for me because I mightnt be making any trades for long periods.

Hi all,
I have opened an account with Ameritrade but all the tax forms are a bit over my head:( Does anyone know how to go about setting all the tax stuff up (step by step if possible as Im very thick)? I want to buy Pink OTC's is there an easier way to do this???

I used to use Fexco Stockbroking but they have an auditor running the place now and she knows nothing about investing or investments.

Check out TD Waterhouse.ie

Not another one of these threads.

Listen pal, why would you buy shares in ruined banks, that are in the process of downsizing significantly, located largely on a small island on the periphery of Europe that is mired in recession when you can invest in strong banks who are expanding in countries that are currently growing. Just think about it.

I honestly believe not to take the advice of others. It is much better to do your own research because then you will be making a completely informed decision and if anything goes wrong it won't ruin the friendship. Tips are free to give and carry no risk and hence in my eyes they are useless at the very least and can be malicious in the extreme cases.

On a side note, don't think that your portfolio has to be Irish dominated. The beauty of the global markets is that they are global!

Why not set up a practice account on www.share.com and see how you get on without risking your own money.

thanks for the responses guys i very much appreciate all the advise so far i am an absolute beginner at this and am trying to purchase my first stock i have about 5K to invest any advise in terms of where i should be looking or any material i must read please let me know

After my etrade.co.uk account was closed (etrade pulling out from the UK) and the absurd amount of documentation that I had been asked by TD Waterhouse (who took over) I have decided to look for a new broker....any advice? Is www.sharewatch.com reliable?

Thank you

Very easy to open an account with them but never bought any shares. At the time shares were very low, bought some books on shares and while reading the books shares went even lower. RTE use them to quote their share prices.

Hi Thargor,

NIB look good. Do you know if you would get a SC when dealing with them?

I am interested in getting into the shares world and maybe making some pocketmonies, didnt have the faintest clue about investing though.

After reading every page in this thread I have a much clearer view of what it involves and where to start looking, just wanted to say thanks to everybody that shared their knowledge with us newbies.

Thanks.
