    This maybe a very silly question

    a few years ago I bought a small quantity of bank shares when they were penny stocks - in around 30cent. I haven't checked them in ages but it looks like both AIB and BOI are + 5euro. did something happen are they gone 10X so if I had 1 thousand back in the day, I now own 100 but the value has gone up times10?

    No. There was a 1:30 reverse stock split of BOI shares which means that for every 30 shares you originally had you now got 1 share.

    You originally had 3000 shares at the penny trading price but now have 100 at 5+ euro.

    Do you mean Dalata?
    If so, they earn about 19 cent a share and the share price is 468.
    Put another way, the shares are trading at 24.6 years earnings.
    Or you will get back your share price in 25 years.

    Retained earnings at the end of 2016 were 3 1/2 million.
    Assets were 985 million.
    Property revaluation gains were 66 million (2016) and 46 million (2015) of the 81 million and 61 million profits.

    Why are they a good investment?
