I find it easier to comprehend why this share is at .23, than why so many twits are interested in Torksie's golf game Why would anybody be interested in some old timers golf game that they don't even know Maybe that's why the share is at .23 it could be based on the investor's intelligence. If we could convince deadcat to sell his four shares this thing could take off BOOM
He was gratifyingly tough when politicians tried to tear the share to pieces last several years. But I'd like to know his role when the share went to .38 and facilitated St Wilburs exit. It'll need to go a lot higher than that to compensate shareholders who are invested 'long' and avoided the opportunity to sell BOI (at .38) and get more diversified.

New chief is welcome abut in fairness to boucher company is creaming profit which will eventually trickle dlwn to common shareholders whose patience is been tested , but i believe this bad luck on outside sources will come to an end , their is only so much bad luck a sp can get,
From what I'm hearing Francesca McDonagh will transform the 19th century culture at BOI.. I only wish she had already started because Boucher is a lame duck now
It seems the metric has changed and we will anguish as a pup while internet banking and all banking on line takes its toll on our investment.
Bank of Ireland and BOI Private Banking seek merger approval Commercial Court hearing date fixed for 21st Bank of Ireland at College Green, Dublin. Mary Carolan Mon, Jun 19, 2017, 17:22 An application to merge Bank of Ireland Private Banking into Bank of Ireland will be heard at the Commercial Court next month. The merger application is being made under the Companies Act and, if granted, will mean BOIPB, curently registered as a private limited company, will no longer exist as a separate entity from BOI. Because court approval is required for such a merger, Denis McDonald SC, for Bank of Ireland and BOIPB, applied on Monday to have the relevant petition admitted to the Commercial Court. Mr Justice Brian McGovern agreed to admit the matter and fixed July 21st as the hearing date for the petition. In an affidavit, BOI director Andrew Keating said the merger will result in BOI being the successor and surviving company. The aim of the merger is to rationalise and simplify the group organisational (legal entity) structure by having BOIPB operate as a client segment within the retail division of the group, rather than as a stand-alone legal entity, he said. In the interests of commercial certainty, it is important the transaction be concluded expeditiously, he said. Because it is critical that the banks, their employees and customers have certainty on the completion timeline, the application was made to the fast-track Commercial Court, he added. The value of the business being transferred is significant, he also said. As of December 31st 2016, BOI had total assets of some €80.8 billion and liabilities of some €72.7 billion, giving a net asset value of some €8.1 billion. BOIPB had some €41.5million assets and some €6.4 million liabilities, giving a net asset value of some €35.1 million
Scorched to a cinder over the weekend but scorched the course most of the time today - ran up 41 points - boy it was hot. Martin has been spared the IPO for AIB - surprising really that the initial supporters of the float have been so brave. Maybe some of them are looking for an investment beyond these shores, but would not have thought that they would be looking at AIB. Still I suppose that if you leave some meat on the bone, the greedy boys will find it hard to resist the temptation, I wouldn't be looking to invest in AIB just because it seems to be floating - when all that is keeping it up is "Levitation" assisted by powerful backers - who will jump at the first sign of "Wobbly Water" You may well do better at the bookies this week Martin, with a few quid on one of the Queens horses at Ascot - she has been known to unsaddle a winner but not very often.
Government has narrowed the price range at which it expects to float AIB on the stock market this week, reducing the maximum it could achieve for an initial stake sale to almost €3.6 billion. Investment banks working on the transaction revealed on Tuesday evening that the State’s disposal of up to a 28.8 per cent interest in AIB to new investors is now set to be priced at between €4.20 and €4.60 per share. An initial range of between €3.90 and €4.90 had been targeted early last week. The original range had pointed to a valuation of up to €13.3 billion for the bank and a price of as much as €3.8 billion for the Government stake currently being marketed to major international investors and small clients of Irish stockbroking firms. The new price range values AIB at between €11.4 billion and €12.5 billion. Investment bankers involved in Europe’s largest IPO so far this year said on Tuesday evening that they have secured enough orders - two days before the deal is expected to be finalised - to buy all the shares at the “upper half” of the new guidance. The earlier, wider price range had drawn demand for a “multiple” of the amount of shares on offer, according to the syndicate of banks. Firms including Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Davy, Deutsche Bank, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, UBS, Investec, Morgan Stanley and Goodbody Stockbrokers are set to share in about €41 million of fees related to the deal. Markets sources have said that the Government may be reluctant to price the stock aggressively, as this may reduce the market appetite for any further share placements as it seeks to extricate itself from the bank in the coming years. Former Minister for Finance Michael Noonan has previously said that it may take up to a decade to fully privatise the bank.
999 call them and all will be fine
Where is the pest? I am missing him. I feel like doing some handbagging! Duck quick radar or you will become collateral damage! I hope you are keeping well Torquay.
They are reluctantly accepting that Maybot (and all that flows thereoff) and Brexit are both impacting on confidence, stability and economic outlook etc. UK is up a gum tree, big time! Round one to Carney, divorce costs, north south border and status of EU citizens come first. Listen online to LBC for excellent running commentary on Brexit.

Fat finger strikes again... 30 degrees here tonight and not a breath of air - how lucky that I live around the corner from the local...
You don't have to be clever to see what they are up to with AIB - our young turks in the city or in Dublin are "bigging up" the share offering - like Mrs Thatchers Gas sell off when I came here. If the share is being offered, it will come with an underwritten offer price which will have to be honoured or the offer withdrawn. After so long in the warm embrace of the government, how do we know that it won't catch fire the first time that it is exposed to strong sunlight. I think that you are very wise to avoid it, even if the IPO is a success, there is no guarantee at all that the institutions who can buy shares at will, won't pump and dump - making their profit when the mugs think that they have seen a rising star and jump in on the story. Our horse will come home yet - maybe not at great odds but it will come home. Good luck all..

The only reason I'm invested here some time back was it was Irish Bank and cost me dearly ,but was lucky enough to sell at decent price I think I said some time back I was clever or lucky and after all this time I don't have answer ,still here losing a little but now in for long haul Big Boys now deciding A B I Share Price can assure I will not touch it with barch poll Press saying B O I Shareholders buying A I B that's how you get sucked in The are cleverer poeople on this blog then me Question ,why
stop crying about the sp....of course the AIB offering will keep it low for sometime...so many clients can only invest a fixed % in irish banks so BOI has to be impacted...it is a huge buying opportunity ... grow up !
I think with the good weather everyone took a Bank Holiday Monday. I did. As far as the Irish Times goes the article is BS . 'An anonymous source' Does he work for MI5?
In 15 years of trading this share this is a first ????
Very strange no movement today,
"it's a disgrace, this has been going on and on, for 2 years" Spot on PGee.... I'm sorry for your continuing lose but only the naive would invest now, with Brexit instability & uncertainty for years. Domestic stocks like in the UK will suffer further. Hope somehow you get out without loss. 🍺🇮🇪 🇬🇧
