Midwest, The US share price is a kinda irrelevant thing, Today, so far, less that 10k shares have traded. I have often seen the BKRIF be as much as 10% higher and lower than the calculations would indicate. That all being said, it's a nice place to be now with this share

ArdRi, Although I dont think you say it plainly, it seems to me your position is that a SF government will not be bad for the banking sector. Is this right? I have read about MaryLou's trip over to US and meeting with Tech but I think the past rhetoric from her has not been good about banks

Guilty on the Jackeen but in states since 78. I hope the house appreciation keeps going in your favor. I kinda think though that a correction in those values could be imminent. Good to read about all the visitors. I might be one in Oct. I have a family wedding in Sligo and am always happy to visit the north. Am stuck with a few NI Pounds I need to spend. Newcastle is a long way from Sligo but have been there on the last trip a few years ago. Very nice town as I recall.

Torq, good to see your post. As I recall you moved to NornIron a while ago and are settled there now. Seems from what I read the NI economy is the best of the 4. Will be interesting what comes out of Downing St in next few months and what the effect will be on NI. I dont think it will be good for you guys

Any chance we all agree to block the Triad. I have, but, even mentioning them give oxygen to the BS

STP, Thanks for that. Filtering is needed just for sanity IMO
Knew Dublin prices are what they are. About a month ago I did look into renting a car for a week mid Jul. Price came back around 3k. Prices have always been expensive in Ireland v rest of EU. In Sep 2021 a car in Dub for 10 days was twice as much as renting one in Copenhagen. At least in my case, w current exchange rate to USD, some of the sting is taken out. Enjoy yourself there

Lots of travelling for you then Sticky. Good luck with all of that and the new job. I have retired myself but am slightly failing at it. I keep taking on other part time consulting work. We do have a family trip back to Ireland for a wedding in October. Its shaping up to be a week long event. we are thinking about a few weeks in Italy beforehand but nothing set in stone.
Our little share is showing signs of surpassing the Francesca high. Be interesting to see where it goes from here. I still think EU banks and FKIR are way cheap. Am holding on till the 9 Euro price is achieved

Howya Sticky, Hope all well w you.
My dividend showed up a couple of days ago. My account is in US.
They hit me for "foreign tax" which reduces the dividend. However given that all the rest of my stocks have been hammered over the last few months, our FKIR is my best performing share.

Johnhume,
Wont the Feb results be great. Given that Central Bank has said that lending on mortgages has now surpassed 2008 levels?
Sure there are a few newer players in the market and there are lots of BofI bashers. However when push comes to shove, I think most like the security of dealing with a known bank in your own country. It also helps knowing that the Central Bank is keeping an eye over everything

As many of you bemoan, way too much green on this board. I rarely check-in anymore. It is good to see our share rise.
Does anyone remember this quote from years ago. It is a remark on the abilities of some stock-pickers that were around at the time.
"There are none, just a load of clowns who are waiting to be turned into shrewd investors by the effluxion of time."
If memory serves, I think it was Radar. Hopefully there are a few still here who can correct me.

Did you see this in today's Irish Times?
Debt ruling allows Waterford man pay €93 mortgage per month
Net of article seems to be that courts are going to inflict more pain on banks

With you lad. all 3 filtered now.
Also hoping for real discussion supported by thought out theories.
Nobody is right all the time. I do pay attention to thoughts that are supported rather than just BS ****ted out.

dont pay much attention to NYC price. This share usually trades under 10k shares per day. About every 3 or so Months there could be 1 day with 100k shares traded

Howya lad. been a long time. I do check this once in a while but not often. I am close to you regarding being in the money on this however for first time in years, I think its going our way. I need the price to go up more so I can afford another trip to Mulligan's

X4Eu2, The 20% you speak of is fine when you look at it on face value. However the unfortunate part is that it was closer to 40% when I bought. Still have a ways to go to break even on this FKIR

Not sure how many of us are based in the US that are on this board. I think its just you and me. We certainly have a problem with liquidity. I am really not sure that we are going to be able to solve that in the near term. What are your thoughts? The only way I can think of would be to try and reach out the the fine folks at Blackrock to see if they have an interest.

and this was all done in 2014 when we were thinking we were not too far away from 50c (15 Euro in todays money). We then figured out that 50c would be too elusive and settled on 40c. We got close enough to just pull the trigger on Mulligans but it never made the 40c. Now a bunch of us have hung on for 4 years and are still hoping for 40c

is very low. Any chance the folks in finance are taking off for Martin Luther King day?

I think you are a little off in the maths. Dublin closed at 7.825. Dividing that by 30 I get a little over 26 cent

Hopefully there will be lots of talk about a return trip to Mulligans and maybe even a few more will actually show up. Happy New Year all
