Doomster,

when it comes to FACTS please ensure they are presented correctly. Yes RR were 69.56 on 6/11/2020. They were also 93p in 7/2021 - they were 114p in Dec 2021. Dropped to 70p on 7/12/2022 recovering to 91p at end of Dec 2022. So for 3 years from April 2020 to 7 Dec SP almost static.

In January 2023 the incoming CEO came out with his thundering speech relating RR to be a cash eating monster and vowing to change the mind set and get rid of the cash eating machines which he has done. So the time to have bought RR was end of 1st week december 2022 when they were 70p !

Doomster,

Why do you have to make such a FOOL of YOURSELF every time you post. Is is gone beyond embarrassment at this stage and reinforces the image of an individual with a backward mind.

The FACTS ARE AS FOLLOWS and your posting history proves it.

- when you were pumping RR their SP was 337p and they require FURTHER GROWTH OF 42% to attain that figure.

- your much maligned Ryanair have to grow just 8% to reach their peak whereas your star recommendations will be

lucky to get there in coming 5 years. In the meantime Ryanair will have burst through €25 having smashed 17 yesterday

- You are very quiet on THE FACT that RYANAIR'S MKT CAP is 38% GREATER THAN EJET/IAG/A FRANCE COMBINED. You are

probably so embarrassed by this FACT that you are SPEECHLESS/POSTLESS.

- You are also very quiet on the FACT that Ireland now enjoys 3rd highest income per capita worldwide, having predicted

3rd world status at end of 2020.

So dont get carried away on your RR growth as they are still 42% in the red from when you cackled about them.

You are the expert when it comes to putting star picks etc in the red, seeing you have the unique record of selecting 2 FTSE DOGS in successive years.

And not a reference here to Boohoo- BIRG -AIB - You have been embarrassed enough.

Sloopy

how often have you posted on this board _ " Why are you here ".

how often have you posted " sat on the balcony ... day on island of dreams".

I only respond to the Doomster when he posts Total Drival re Ryanair and also on the BIRG Board.

Very interesting how he ignores THE FACTS exposing him to be an utter sham without a degree of credibility or respect at this stage. Every time he posts the hole is getting bigger. FACTS are FACTS and his DRIVAL on his well publicised recommendations and rejections are on his posting record.All 4 of his recommendations went through the basement, with 2 securing top DOG award in the FTSE while ALL his REJECTIONS succeeded spectacularly'

He has written his own epitaph and on his tombstone in years to come - Danger to Wealth.

BTW - when was last time I sent post to DTN ?

exercise your own mind and not the Doomster's.

Your Doctorate is not just restricted to the cynical rear view mirror, also blinkered.

As posted many moons ago, you expressed your delight in mistakingly believing I had sold out at 7.50, having to also bring another poster into the post and similarly lambasting him. You then displayed your supreme IGNORANCE when advised to the contrary. Then you of all people had to introduce " class" to the post.

Where did your response "GFYS" come from ? a supreme example of "class" ??

I have better things to do than analyse your posting history but the number of your informed posts can be counted on 1 hand, without including the thumb. Your speciality is the ultra cynical 1 liner in which NOBODY has the slightest interest as it is neither informative or humourous/funny.

" mammy, mammy, mammy I am being attacked on this board ........ "

Cuckoo,

seeing you hold the doctorate would welcome your informed opinion on following ;

- should one spend his life looking through the rear view mirror with or without cynical lens ?

Sloopy,

When it comes to repitition you have secured a Doctorate.

amazed that a maestro like yourselfdon't appreciate the vagaries of the market.with pat of 2.18billion, 185 plus million passengers, 25% of pat given away in form of Divis, - no doubt but in next 12 months Uncle Mikey will secure his sunstantial bonus and TP of €25 with numerous brokers shall have materialised. Couldn't happen to a better company.

Any comments on Ryanair's mkt capitalisation being over 38% greater than a combined trio of EJet/IAG and A France. - quite an achievement you must agree. the Doomster is so shocked with this FACT he is postless.

Doomster,

As already posted a brain surgeon visit is long overdue,besides a visit to Specsavers.

The FACTS are unavoidable . In the run up to covid and the following 6 months you bored the pants of everybody with your 20 times daily posting lavishing the praises of Boohoo/ E Jet/ IAG/ RR and highlighting that BIRG/AIB /Irish Economy were going down the tubes and Ryanair would be bankrupt and taken over by junior bondholders. This is factual as your postal history will prove.You have been sporting enough to post recently that what you posted was TOTAL DRIVEL. So what has RR Sp of 3 years ago got to do with this. Still 42% off their pre covid high whereas Ryanair just 8% off their high. You are conveniently omitting to mention the words of their incoming CEO last january when he stated them to be a cash eating elephant. no doubt he is now putting it right but still a long way to go whereas Ryanair already there. Were you impressed with their half yearly after tax profit of 2.18 Bn to 9/23 - up 59%. not bad.

You are also deafeningly quiet on your Boo/IAG/EJ recommendations and the OUTPERFORMANCE OF BIRG and AIB, not to mention Irish Economy..

You are also deafeningly quiet on the FACT that Ryanair Mkt Cap is over 38% GREATER THAN EJET/IAG/AIR FRANCE COMBINED. Why the SILENCE. Why is RYANAIR the preferred stock for Portfolio Managers to have in their selected funds.

When will you give on your opinion on whether or not you consider a P/E ratio of 5.5 as being excessive for BIRG assuming profits of 2 billion and sp of 10.5plus.

I would give top priority to an appointment with specsavers as your eyesight has obviously failed you , being unable to read the FACTS set out in numerous recent posts.

You cannot ignore the FACTS today as the end result is you are only making a bigger fool of yourself today than you did back in 2020. Today you have the benefit of hindsight and are better off p......g against the wind than going against the FACTS. However, never lose your bottle as it might serve you well on the racetrack.

Cuckoo,

rather than traits would consider them facts.

are you suggesting that I examine life looking through the rear view mirror.

or do I examine life looking through the rear view mirror through cynical lens !.

Economists in major us banks divided on timing and magnitude of interest rate cuts over next 2 years.

1 has key rate falling to 2.375% by 2025 while alternate view is that 1st cut will occur in q4 24 with a target range of 3.5/3.75% by mid 2026.

Doomster

some facts about Ryanair and it's competitors to bring about a smile to your face ,these facts relating to the last 5 years. you will find them of special interest as they also relate to your favourite recommendations.

Easy Jet SP peaked at 1261p in Feb 2020 and now trading @ 405p. 211% growth to restore previous highs.

IAG SP peaked at 452p in Jan 2020 and now trading @ 152p.. 197% growth to restore previous high.

RR SP peaked at 337p in Feb 2019,now trading at 237p having fallen to 70p. 42% growth to restore previous high.

Ryanair SP peaked @ 18.27 and now trading at 16.85.. 8.4% growth to restore previous high.

Ryanair market Cap now stands at 19.08 Billion.

Easy Jet market cap now stands at 3.11 Billion.

Air France market cap now stands at 3.12 Billion.

IAG market cap now stands at 7.52Billion.

So Ryanair's market cap is now over 38% GREATER than E Jet/Air France/IAG COMBINED.

HOW DID YOU GET IT SO WRONG ?.

I post at 11.52 and you respond within 15 minutes.Your monitoring this board and policing the remaining lse boards must be very tiresome and well understand you YAWNING at midday.

A once off post in a site's history ,as with ufo/gg, is known as a drop in- visit(ing) relates to the plural.

you sound like a guy whose valium requires restocking.

So,Donkey, is it your recommendation that the board be restricted to donkeys and cuckoos .

wearing your objective hat do you not think that the board's content might be a little infantile and cynical.

why don't the C and yourself simply exchange email addresses - I am sure the content would be riveting.

Cuckoo,

as regards multiple sites other sites I have visited are Boohoo and Ryanair ;

Boohoo; becuase of a poster who posted s...e 30/35 times daily 7 days a week from 8am to midnight accumulating c.15000 posts over last 2 years ramping the Boo from 400p down to 30p and now predicting 650p in next 15 months. was at the end of a long queue being critical of him. suggested that he take up writing fiction novels as it would be more profitable and less time consuming. has since been removed to everybody's relief.

Ryanair

When the Doomster was asked 3 years ago to explain his vitriolic hatred for Ryanair/MOL he answered that " he was pi..ed off reading posts praising Ryanair/MOL" !. He then proceeds to p..s everybody off over the following 9 months or more extolling the virtues of Boo/IAG/EJ/RR etc and putting 3rd world status on Ireland.

Well Doomster I must admit that it is jolly sporting of you to finally admit that your commentary/predictions on IAG/EJ/RR//Ryanair/Birg etc is total drival although it is the only conclusion you could arrive at. Better late than never.

You should forget about government intervention in commercial activities as it never works.As pointed out to you quite a while back , an airline like Ryanair, starting from a greenfield site with no government support, at the end of the 80s ended up 30 years later with a greater market value than a combined A Lingus/ British Airways/ Air France etc , with those airlines having the common factor of being set up with government support. Not only that, they were unable to survive post covid without the same governments bail outs. Cannot dispute the FACTS. If voluntary luggage costs removed no doubt airlines shall simply put an add-on to the passenger ticket and this shall apply to all airlines,not just Ryanair. At present the passenger has the option to bring whatever luggage they wish,with some carrying zero cost. Have never known government intervention to work for the consumer's benefit - above their mind set.

Do you agree with the TP of 25.50 for Ryanair set by G Sachs, JP Morgan ,Davy etc. Maybe on the light side especially when you consider the profits figure just released by Ryanair.

You appear quite excited about the 10.50 plus/11 spring price for BIRG. In my language 10.50 plus covers a range even extending to 11 and beyond. Your silence is deafening on whether you consider a p/e ratio of 5.5 is excessive for BIRG with a price tag of 10.5. Perhaps you will shock the board with an opinion.

Doomster,

I also recall when you made your entry on BIRG board I commented to the effect that BIRG could be doomed - you are living up to your reputation.

Just wondering if you are hoping that BIRG will go DOWN the same road as Boohoo.

Dont lose the faith - confident of seeing 10.50 plus in the spring as I believe the Netanyahu man is heavily invested.

Doomster,

Posted like true "expert". Examining your "chequered" history on your gilt edged Boohoo,IAG/RR/E JET etc and your condemned failure lectures on Ryanair/BIRG/AIB and the Irish Economy anybody who doesn't listen to you would have to be labelled a fool. However, let's examine their respective histories ;

- You lavished your praises on Boohoo at their 380/400p levels. Why have they fallen to 30p ??

- IAG have to resurrect themselves from their current levels and appreciate 400% to reach your glorified levels.

- RR have taken to heart the words made in 1/23 of their CEO of them chewing money for fun.Still 300% off your peak.

- EJet not as bad as IAG but still 350% of their high and your recommended price.

- Ryanair have to appreciate just 10% to reach their prior peak notwithstanding your firm prediction that they would be taken over for zilch by the junior bondholders at the end of 2020.Do you not find it supremely ironic but for the government bail outs both IAG and EJet would have have been taken over by their junior bondholders. You will recall that Ryanair took such bail outs to Europe, being anti competitive. To add insult to injury is it not equally ironic that Ryanair are now the go to Airline that all Fund managers direct their funds.

- When BIRG traded at 1.32/1.35 you are the one that predicted their demise. How do you explain them trading as high as €11 within 3.5 years - a growth of 850% normally associated with the highest risk/reward stocks.

- Similarly with AIB when they traded at 80c. SP peaked around 4.30 - growth rate of over 500% in same period.

- In summer 2020 you predicted the collapse of the Irish economy.You may not believe this but Ireland now enjoys the 3rd highest income per capita worldwide with Luxembourg and 1 other above it.

as regards BIRG being €11 in the 1st qtr of 2024 - as posted already an increase of 50% of growth achieved in 1st qtr of 2022 will see a sp of €10.50 plus.With predicted profits of 2billion plus and a SP of 10.50 plus are you saying a p/e ratio of 5.5 is excessive for BIRG ? await your reply by post.

Cigs carry a danger to health warning ! You should carry a danger to wealth warning.Takes years for cigs to liquidate but you could do it in 12 months.

Forget about no comment - you should be gagged.

Cuckoo,

over the years traded with IG in Dublin/London and in late summer 2020 advised by IG could no longer trade with them because of Brexit , deadline date being march 2021. opened account with Davy on 21/1/21.

Since then never interested in statements etc, only the asset / cash value .

In last couple on months not entirely happy with some of Davy figures with result last week did detailed analysis of dealings and set out table of purchases/sales and have corresponded with Davy on this.

end result is my recent dealings in Birg is as set out in my posts of yesterday and today. A similar analysis done on AIB

Sweet spot brought back from the dead.

"What language are you speaking "

I wasn't aware LSE have an audio link ! You may not understand but I am posting, not speaking.

FYI the content relating to the IMF arguement relating to Deposit rates remaining static through 24 emanate from the head of the IMF European dept. Should also mention that his yesterday comments are fully supported today by comments from the Head of the Irish Central Bank, so it would appear that a fall in rates in March, plus 4 * .25 further falls in 24 are gone for a burton.

hope the comments of IMF European Head haven't upset you too much, seeing the posts have been deleted.

Cuckoo,

no porkies there..my last 5 tranches of buys are exactly as stated yesterday. I also bought 2500 beginning of march @9. - this being a 6th tranch.

My last 5 tranch sales are at the exact prices as set out yesterday. also sold 2500 at 8.60 on 20 December 22. with my next sale being 2500 at 9.95 on 1 february 23 and the following 5 tranches set out yesterday completing my sales programme.

Had 50,000 shares, now down to 44500 but will replenish to 50k in coming weeks to avail of current gift prices.

Well, Doomster, it appears Uncle Mikey heading rapidly to €17. He has also stated "expects to receive his performance bonus earlier than usual.

That should make your xmas.
