@ Mr. Hopeful - What is your average price on BIRG? Was the 6k figure you mentioned your actual initial investment or just a figure thrown at you by a wise old man?
Trying to invest for a quick return has big risk attached and I'm guessing after the battering you took on this one you are looking for a slighter safer / slow burner. If you are averaging €6.50 to €7.00 or below perhaps a further reinvestment into this might be the answer. TBH I'm surprised you didn't invest more around the €2.00 mark which would have seemed like a good time to average down again IMO.
If you have balls of steel and spend most of the day high on cocaine and high fiving high class hookers then go for bitcoin but that one is a complete basket case and defies logic imo. Sure, on paper entry at US$45k and exit at $50-52k looks like an option within a 2 week period for fast return but that one could fall to $35k or rise to $60k in 24hrs so for me personally I wouldn't have any appetite for it now. I missed out on it at $8K when I wanted to purchase 5 bitcoin as a complete gamble to test the water but I wimped out of it thinking it could fall to $4k while i'm asleep.
Anyway, in answer to your question perhaps adding another 2500 shares to your BIRG holding and wait for 4.50 should get you fairly out of this one.... although I'm sure that will be a hard pitch to your wife by the sounds of things.
€4.50 is achievable IMO on BIRG.
BTW I feel your pain... I got burned badly on bank shares too with AIB. Thankfully, i averaged down last year and have recovered well but it was a depressing journey none the less.
