Doomster,

Have absolutely no doubt - the only di....head here is yourself as you have proven so absolutely and so regularly on this board. At least you have the honesty to admit that your recommendations on IAG/EJ/RR were pure Drivel as were your rejections of BIRG / AIB / Ryanair and the Irish Economy. You again highlight your stupidity with comments such as the following ;

" ... recent fake buyss on BIRG .. every fake buy now underwater. Ouch " If buys are FAKES HOW ARE YOU UNDERWATER and where does the OUCH come in. As already posted you are simply contradicting yourself with the english language, in addition to maths , not your favourite suit.

" .. see RR up 236% in a year ". You are very conveniently forgetting the fact that when you were singing their praises from the roof tops their SP dropped from 400p to mid 60s and are now only recovering from theit all time lows with their incoming CEO in January 2023 liking them to a cash burning machine requiring urgent surgical treatment. Before you get too excited bear in mind they are still 35% off their high of 4 years ago whereas your Nemisis, Ryanair , is currently within 4 % of their all time high.

Why would I take your advise and invest in RR. I have invested in BIRG which has APPRECIATED 850% in same time period. I appreciate your maths is limited but BIRG represents growth of over 600% in EXCESS of that achieved to date by RR.

As regards Ryanair, you must be chocking in your porridge each morning seeing them hitting €20 in coming 3 months considering your star prediction was to see them taken over by Junior Bondholders by March 21 without them having to resort to the begging bowl from their Government , unlike your stars IAG/EJ etc.

If as you say all the buys were fakes how would you be underwater and Ouch ? appear to be contradicting yourself. Avail of the once off buying opportunity.

See your star airline rejection is about to break the €20 barrier.

Are some of the US regional banks in trouble ?

Now trading at 18.45 -just over 8% short of the magical €20 sp and uncle mikey,'s well deserved bonus ,not to mention DT's SP target.

John still BELIEVES a rise is ON the cards.

You appear to be in need of english lessons in learning how to post correctly - your posts open to misinterpretation

So your get out price has changed from 12.50.

" same thing will happen on way down ". ie that Economists will prevail over politicians. If so you may be contradicting yourself as the politicians would be the driving force in pushing interest rates down and interest rates will drop more slowly with economists pulling the strings.

As posted already the important lines to be reading, including those between the lines,are those coming from the ECB ,who make the decision, and not our Central Bank Governor. As also posted already, the ECB are NOT ruling out a further rate hike so , as far as the ECB are concerned it is even steven.

So are you going to advise the Board in which countries you expect your march and 4 subsequent drops to occur, bearing in mind the US and UK can drop 0.75% plus before they even equalise with the ECB prevailing rate or do you spend your life looking through your rear view mirror wearing whatever tinted glasses you would like to wear.

"investors pricing in a 115 basis points of cuts ( not falls " - so the cuckoo now wishes to be known as a PEDANT in addition to CYNIC. Next he will be telling us the scissors is used to implement policy

As regards the peak of the cycle the economists prevailed over the politicians- with inflation also soaring.

As regards your future rate cut by march with 4 subsequent drops by end of year perhaps you would like to advise the board which countries are to benefit - seeing the ECB most certainly do not agree with you and , you may not believe this, but they set the tone in this part of the world.

You should also bear in mind that the FED and the BOE rates can fall by 0.75% plus BEFORE they drop to the ECB level.

"Please refrain from posting all the personal attacks " FFS you have set out the blueprint on personal attacks on this board since.....

So are you henceforth to be known as the hypocritical,pedantic cuckoo ! mind you you also come across as a proper cuckold.

Per RTE website yesterday ;

" Euro zone inflation is falling as expected but the ECB must keep the possibility of an interest rate hike on the table ,policymakers agreed last month according to accounts of their October 25/26 meeting ".

Just quoting the ECB euro head man.

congratulations appear to be in order as you now appear to be the Investors Chronicle spokesman on the yield curve. No doubt you had the IQ to ensure all your overgrown cynical references were removed from your cv, with your happy characteristics to the forefront .

"On thursday the closing price was £14.46....End of story "

Sloopy,

As I posted today at 15.10 - " dont be like the Doomster - get your FACTS right.

Ryanair notified the UK's Financial Conduct Authority they were officially delisting from the Stock Exchange as at 8am on the 20th December 2022, so I am not sure where you are getting your sterling prices.

What is FACTUAL is the RYANAIR closing Price on the Dublin Stock Exchange on the 23rd November 2023 was €17.33. What is equally FACTUAL is that the peak SP of Ryanair on 22 November 2023 was €17.48. As this was their peak price any SP %age fall would be maximised at that price .Therefore the greatest %age fall was 0.008% or 15cents.

Whether YOU OR I Own shares in Ryanair HAS NO EFFECT ON THE 5age Rise or Fall in Ryanair SP.

The Dublin Stock EXCHANGE is the official European Stock Exchange for Ryanair and its prices are final.

As already posted Ryanair 's Peak SP on the 22 November 2023 was €17.48 and it's closing SP on 23 November 2023 was €17.33. END OF STORY.

The Doomster and yourself have 1 very strong common characteristic - you specialise in FICTION - not FACT.

According to the Ryanair 1 year share chart Ryanair traded at year high of €17.48 on 22 November 2023 - yes that is last wednesday. On following day they closed at €17.33.

Would you mind explaining how a drop from €17.48 to €17.33 represents a 5.5% drop in SP !!!!!

Sloopy,

When it comes to posting, dont be like the Doomster - get your FACTS right.

Ryanair closed at 17.33 last night and have traded at 17.50 today. A 5.5% drop yesterday indicates the SP dropped from a price of €18.34 on wednesday.

I am pretty sure that Ryanair SP has not gone above €18 this year !

It appears you are the one finding %ages difficult. SP fluctuates throughout the day.

Why would I sound so pleased ? 3.11% down and I am down 12grand !

Happiness radiates through your fingertips - am convinced the cynicism is only adopted to temper it.

Some aspects taken from a commentary on both banks in mid september.

"BOI has had benefit of 8bn KBC portfolio since feb 23 and AIB has had benefit of 6 bn Ulster Bank portfolio since august 23 so will contribute fully to h2 23..This could result in AIB turning in an operating profit of 1.7bn in h2 and close to 3bn for full yr.

It is inevitable that BOI will trail behind in H2 and may well come in with an operating profit for H2 of close to 1.3bn. still close to a healthy 2.5bn for full yr.

AIB gained from the closure of 100 boi branches through client migration.

Both BOI and AIB are hugely undervalued given the sheer scale of current profit boom. BOI shares look a solid bet at this stage given their lowly rating. Nevertheless, difficult to see how high the market will drive these shares.

What is increasingly likely to happen is that BOI and AIB will opt to distribute monies from theor overflowing coffers. With soaring solvency and liquidity ratios well in excess of ECB requirements BOI could return 2 bn of its 12bn equity base to shareholders.Does O'Grady have appetite to retturn surplus funds. "

Drop in SP put down to market questioning sustainability of 2bn plus profits for each bank and uncertainty surrounding level/extent of future bank levy which has now been clarified.

AIB actual PBT in H1 = 987mill and BOI = 1 Bn.which is less than mentioned above.

Doomster,

are you having an interesting time studying the LSE Boards ?? you are certainly doing nothing for the markets.

Regarding Ryanair- I recall posting having sold a tranche of Ryanair @16.75 and you instantly replying that I was a liar as Ryanair had never traded above €16. NOT THE 1ST TIME you have been grossly mistaken and your mistakes are now perpetual.

Enough have posted to the extent that maths is not for you.Having sold 18k Birg shares in seperate tranches at prices of

9.95 - 10 - 10.12 -10.18 -10.50 (twice)- and bought back in at 8.35 - 8.40 - 8.50 - 8.65 - 8.97 - 9 my maths tells me I am ahead on these transactions. My buy back price on some is less than current SP but profit has already materialised on earlier sales. Current SP is immaterial to me as I shall be around well into 1st qtr of 24. A loss is fiction until you have sold.

You talking about timing would bring a smile to anybody's face. Looked through some of your posting history and never realised the depth of your love for the Boo share and also the extent of your share purchases ;

25/3/21 ; "back in Boo @321..Street talks rubbish and has agenda against Boo. heading back to 400p no trouble"

11/4- Boo massive bargain fill your boots.

7/10-averaged down at 225 and 201.current sp amazing opportunity to make serious profit.

5/11/20.new auditor announced will add 60p to SP.High St retailer thinking about a t/o to get online presence. will add £2 to SP -No brainer and remember SP was 425p couple of months ago.

20/11. great show from Boo, 254pto 300p in a month. 400p coming soon.

Also some very interesting predictions - even if you say you dont do them -

15/12/22. Putin will lose war by mid 23 and Crimea/ Donbas will be taken back. Putin to be thrown from Balcony.

8/12/20 - This no deal will seriously dump on all Irish Shares, especially Banks and Pig Farmers. No Brexit deal will be devastating for Ryanair.

can see how you might want to walk away from predictions.

Having said that would welcome your prediction on a 1st qtr SP for BIRG and your comment on a 5.5 p/e ratio with a sp of 10.50.

You have gone very quiet on GGP. Anything to do with the fact that, having hit 11p, they are up about 80% in last month.

will be delighted to hear that I am just about back in the black but looking forward to what is to follow. will be a much more exciting new year than following Boohoo. Having seen them hit 35.75p will be hitting the sell button at 36.

7 December 2022 should read 7 October 2022 meaning it took 13 months to appreciate 244% , rather than 3 years.

see Ryanair smash through 17.50 in last 24 hours hitting a 12 month high.

Doomster,

Are YOU REALLY THAT STUPID or Blind. Rolls Royce appreciated 244% in 11 months from 7 December 2022 to last week. IT DIDN'T TAKE 3 years to appreciate 244% - THE FACT IS IT TOOK 11 MONTHS YOU DIMWIT !!!! Going on your past /present history I have no doubt but you probably bought at 337p in 2019.

I appreciate maths was never your strong point but when a share DROPS from 337P at end of 2019 to 70p at end of 2020 the chances are that it is ripe to be 1 of the FTSE DOGS of 2020 !!! To say you are thick would be unduly flattering.

While you may not give a flying fook about what the RR CEO said in January 2023 I can assure you that every Investor was hanging on to every word he said as IT WAS THOSE WORDS AND HIS SUBSEQUENT ACTIONS THAT SAW THE SP RECOVER 244% TO WHAT IT IS TODAY. Also confirms that you sold out prior to 2023 as , if you were an investor, you also would be hanging on to his every word.

When will you give us your opinion on 1) the Irish economy's miraculous turnaround 2) whether a p/e ratio of 5.5 is excessive for Birg on sp of 10.5 3) your new year sp prediction for BIRG.

Down 3.11% at the moment.

Doomster

can you confirm to the board that you had the "bottle" to buy them at 337p in 2019 !!!
