I'll have to do some archeological research in the company and the stock. Haven't looked at it in years. Looking forward to being back in the old BKIR banter. I might even dig up my old Joan Burton account... cheers.

A bit weird. BKIR became BIRG.... but radar is still.there! Happy new year already. Will start following BIRG next year...

I'm back.

Ventilate your sentiments with mails to: investor.relations@aib.ie Thats should probably result in a DOS (denial of service) syndrome, as there will be one or two disgruntled share holders out there....

Yes, my old friend ALBK. I have traded you many times, but have not touched you since late 2009, as you had to many issues, which even I as an old friend could not help you with , and which you yourself persistently dealt with wrongly. So our friendship came to an end, and I have been following you on the sidelines. You now live on the "Enterprise Securities Market (ESM) of the Irish Stock Exchange". That is a sad address, as it is not easy for old friends to visit. First of all they have an antiquated stock exchange order matching system. Secondly, my communication with it, through my otherwise decent online broker, is virtually impossible. My broker considers the ISE already strange enough, and this segment even stranger. I have no way to even post trade orders electronically to play with you, and can only pass phone orders, which my broker then has to relay to their broker in Ireland.... In short, dear friend AIB; you will not see much of me in the near term future. I wish you all the best in recovering from you issues and health problems. It's maybe good for you that mother Ireland looks a bit after you...

Not sure if you really undestand what the NAMA did. AIB swapped portfolios of bad property loans (which were certainly not eligible for repos) for bonds issued by NAMA which, as a state near institution has a better credit profile and as such is eligible for repo witht eh ECB. Those repo rates are very low, so this keeps AIB (just) in access to some normal short term funding rates. Yes, they took a loss on the value of the property loans (the haircut) and that hurts. But it is certainly not the case that the State "owes" AIB "unpaid NAMA bills. I believe that the NAMA bonds even pay a coupon or premium which ea the end depends on the borrowers paying back... I would stay away from AIB, really (and I do)

Sell now. They will go down more... Simple advise ,but the only rational course of action. Wanna take a punt, buy back at 20 cents.

How about putting in a long running buy order for buying 50,000 ALBKs for EUR 0.20? For that you need to make sure that you have 10k liquidity in your account. If the order gets executed, you have many possible outcomes and available trading strategies. Do not forget this would be a true penny stock then... 1) Putting in a sell for 30 and with that if executed realising 50% (5K) in a matter f days. 2) Riding it out, participating in an RI and staying in long term and probably if this fine bloated bank survives seeing your 10K (+RI top up) becoming 50K... 3) Range trading it, and never selling at a loss... And trying to take a good 15% on every roundtrip in those low zones... If you don't get the initial order executed, nothing lost... I don't like AIB, but I might consider the above when we get in that proximity of 20 cents (and we have been there in the past, remember boys...)

You're doing grand with your ALBKs right now. If you look at the BKR page, there is some interesting reporting out thre re. BOI and their RI.. That's the only "news" so far. Good luck. I am rotting on an airport, with 100s of cancellations, so wonder if I get out of here back to civilisation.

Sorry to hear that you timed your exit poorly, but hindsight is a wonderful thing... On the BKIR board, and radar here is a true exponent of that faction, we normally discuss the flip (e.g. moving from one of these into the other and back again driven by the widening and closing wedge shape of the price differential) , rather then exiting this game for longer than a few hours... But also: this is all a true do-your-own-research world... Don't worry, you'll get back in again in one ot these and simply forget about one messed up roundtrip...

Yeah, that was sort of the underlying thought. If the uptrend stays more or less intact, I would want to start swing trading these (most likely BKIR, but maybe even ALBK or a mix of them) again. Bu tI need a "fresh start" mentally to do so... Had a sell order in all day for BKIR 1.80 but was not done, and then wanted to dump during the close. Will see what happens on Monday.

The reason why radar is not stud is quite evident: He is radar. As prices rise and fall, it is indeed very well possible that ALBK could rise tomorrow. Now that's reasoning...

I think stud and I are on the same page here. AIB and BOI are highly undervalued (barring tthe AIB nationalisation potential) so the only imminent way is up, really.... I think BOI has the better fundamentals though, so that;s why my focus is on them the last months...Good night.

rupees actually... so 1 ALBK = Rp. 1.60 = +/- €0.02 ;-)

I do not stray to the ALBK page much, but stud's style and prose reminds me a bit of old stupid. remember stupid who always had a grand secret to share with us...?

B not.... So we can chat about BKIR on the ALBK page.... Holding just alright, but not rallying (yet)

Good move mate. Also sold half my BOIs and thought about flipping hem into AIB for a quicky at 1.11 this morning, but did not do it. Plan to get BOI back a bit cheaper (under 1.30) today to swing trade them or AIB dependent on who moves most..

Moose: You can't hide from us with that stack of BARC that you hold now....We have the means to find you anywhere... Get back to the BKIR site as we need you there. Radar: A good kick in the arse indeed. Squandering "our" money without even asking us... (OK they write losses also without payrises, but still.....) This was an old agreement with the unions they honoured by the way...

For you as a shareholder you should be angry with the 3% pay-rise (which only applies to absolute grunts in that firm by the way). As an angry capitalist, you see that as stealing from your (non-existant) dividends. I am actually waiting for news about planned reorganisations in BOI and AIB and related sackings... Unpleasant stuff, but needs to be done as both have to downsize dramatically to cope with the decline in volumes and business in general. Those are the type of announcements which move the SP. Please return from your exile, as the BKIR blog has a bit more substance recently.
