"headwind" should read tailwind in prior post

Cooking,
any possibility you might bring fresh news to the board
The news of KBC and Ulster Bank leaving is as old as KBC's acquisition by Birg and goes back to the 2nd quarter of 2022..
Likewise with Davy acquisition.
The ECB interest rate increases have been flagged since May 2022 - only unknown being the size of the increase 2.5/3/3.25%. Believe it or not benefit of rate increases not the sole prerogative of irish banks.
what is the headwind associated with the Irish property market - is this not the market that derailed the economy in the first place
Has the ratio of irish banks interest profits v european counterparts changed dramatically in last 12 months
you make it sound as if the markets have taken 12 months leave and only reopened in last few months which explains why BIRG up 50% and AIB 40% in this period. What went on beforehand.
You can rest assured that Blackrock can and will do what they want- ie make profit. What matters is the market reaction to Blackrock's departure. Investors with Long memories will recall the consequences of the departure of a certain Mr. Ross.
ps - you sound like a man whose stock of valium has run out.

I see the sycophantic Donkey has brought sycophany to a new level - mentioning my name 4 times in a single post.
He must be pis...d off licking his own ass and now looking for fresh pasture asses.
Good to see the sharp sp appreciation through xmas and new year. as already posted,historically a substantial proportion of a stock's annual growth occurs in 1st qtr and BIRG may break €10 on this run to release of annual results on 7th March. Should bear in mind that BIRG has appreciated 50% in last 3 months ( sp being 6.36 on 29/9/22) and AIB up over 40% in same period. At present time they are trading at a substantial premium to other european banks.
Beware the Ides of March- it might come a week earlier this year on 7th march.
also worth bearing in mind that Blackrock never afraid to take a profit and must be sitting on 20/25% profit at present.

Doomster
as you well know your slavetrader ,Boohoo, has to see 1000% growth to see you BREAK EVEN and I AM VERY CERTAIN THAT IS MOST DEFINITELY NOT MAKING YOU LAUGH. I am equally CERTAIN that you are CRYING INTO YOUR MILK every morning when you KNOW your investment would be WORTH £205,000 had you invested in BIRG whereas it is now worth a miserly £2700 in your beloved Boohoo.
I am equally certain that YOU ARE NOT LAUGHING when you realise your BASKET CASES OF BIRG and AIB have enjoyed CAPITAL GROWTH OF 720% and 480% respectively in last 30 months as against a top 115% in your sector.
Your MISERY and HUMILIATION is complete when attention and the spotlight is put on your TOP 2 DOGS in the FTSE
You can now join company with your BASKET CASES as your HUMILIATION is now complete with Ryanair ( your alleged Bankrupt Airline ) now forging ahead once again and establishing itself as the Airline without Peer in the Aviation sector. Again, I am certain THIS AINT BRINGING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE BUT IS DEFINITELY HURTING.
THE FACT OF THE MATTER ,DOOMSTER, IS THAT EVERYTHING POSTED HERE IS FACTUAL AND MOST CERTAINLY IS NOT MAKING YOU LAUGH. NOTHING HURTS MORE THAN THE TRUTH/FACTS.

DT
I am sure the Doomster will be delighted to see that Ryanair up 1 euro today - 7.5% rise - and heading to €14.
With BIRG/AIB/RYANAIR heading for the stratosphere and his recommendations being termed BASKET CASES he must feel it is time to call in the White Coats for medication purposes.

Doomstr,
your arithmetic is worse than your credibility. As posted already my GGP average holding price is 11p and they traded at 9p this morning-so down 2p as opposed to 4p stated in earlier post. As already posted I will be very strongly in the money with GGP in the very near future.Thought I would be in the money quicker with GGP than the slave traders but am in profit today with them.
Your SILENCE IS DEAFENING when invited to comment on the FACTS, FACTS ,FACTS FACTS set out relating to your uk banking shares and the 2 BASKET CASES YOU TOTALLY REJECTED. YOU MUST FIND THESE FACTS TOTALLY HUMILIATING.
Good to see you have finally accepted the FACTS relating to your unique experience in selecting the 2 TOP DOGS IN THE FTSE, seeing you have finally shut your trap relating to the World's No 1 Airline, Ryanair.
When will you be leaving ANTARTICA and extolling the virtues of the Slavetraders again. That should be interesting as a 1000% recovery will make us believe in miracles again. You associate 1000/1100% share price falls with the riskiest industries and not with "fashion clothing"
I am sure you will be delighted to read that your Basket Cases - BIRG trading at 9.51 and AIB rapidly heading towards €4 - are heading for new heights on a daily basis. Another euro or so and my BIRG GAIN will equate with your BOO LOSS -ie 1000%. hope this doesn't give you nightmares.

see the 23 guidance figure raised from 1-1.2bn to 1.33-1.43bn.
should have more strikes-unofficial oor otherwise as Ryanair goes from strength to strength anyhow.
more good news for the Doomster. still awaiting to hear from him on the FACTS set out in my Banking report plus the FACTS set out in my 22.03 post. His HUMILIATION has sent him below ground with his credibility below ZERO.Maybe he is at home in Antartica.

Doomster
see thee BIRG boys traded today at €9.50 - didn't expect this sp level so quickly.
decided to do a comparison with your uk banks and your 2 basket cases over last 4 years. makes interesting reading.
lloyds lowest price in 4 years was 25.7p in Sept 2020. today trading at 47p. 83% uplift.
Barclays lowest price in 4 years was 80p in 4/2020 ,today trading at 165p. --106% uplift.
HSBC lowest price in 4 years was 283p in 9/2020. trading today at 538p - 90% uplift.
Nat West lowest price in 4 years was 115p in 6/2020. now trading at 273p. -137% uplift.

BIRG lowest price in 4 uears was €1.32. now trading at €9.45 -716% uplift
AIB lowest price in 4 years = 80c .now trading at 3.70 .462% uplift.

Any possibility you might explain how your " Basket cases" have so spectacularly outperformed your "non basket cases". I mean the "Basket cases" outperformance is in the stratosphere level.

Doomster,
what do you think of BIRG trading today at €9.18 - long way off your basket case price of 1.32.not long to €9.50.
am sure this will put a smile on your face much quicker than thinking of the Canaries-and a broader smile too boot.
any comments on my FACTS set out in earlier posts.- as you haven't commented thought you might have been too busy to getting round to read them. Better late than never or maybe the HUMILIATION is too much for you.

WHY post at 1 minute intervals ???
btw s/trader in common usage for those paying below min wage level.

you post at

you really shouldn't be posting imho - try email

Doomster,
prefer to think of my purchases of GGP at 1.7p.My average holding price is 11p so I am down 4p on average but have not the slightest doubt will be well in the money before end of 2023, in fact expect to be in the money earlier with GGP than with my Boohoo purchase at 38p. So where does that leave you with your Boohoo purchase at £3.78.
I also like to believe my BIRG purchase at €1.40 and AIB purchase at 90c as very good calls, made at the same time as you were SCREAMING from the rooftops as they being basket cases. Although sold tranches of BIRG in 2500 lots at €8.50/8.60/8.7 still have 40000 in back pocket and confident will secure €9.50 for BIRG in run up to final results release on 7 March ,they already traded at 9.1 this week. Have yet to sell any of AIB holding but will do so when they hit €4 some time in new year. So will have done well from both these "basket cases" as you in your "wisdom" describe them.
You have been HUMILIATED enough so will not elaborate any further of your red hot recommendations, they having PROVED themselves to be THE DOGS of the FTSE. You cannot dispute FACTS, much to your HUMILIATION.
QED.

I see BIRG ranked as best performing stock in the 5Billion plus category for 2022 with 57% growth with AIB coming 4th in same category. eat your heart out Doomster.

Doomster,
still awaiting your comments on the FACTS set out in my 22.03 post and also on the fact that the "Bankrupt" Bank, BIRG, breaking through the €9 SP resistance point. These are FACTS and not so called allegations about DT buying Ryanair at the €9 price level.

DT
came across the following posted in last few days on ADVFN Board and would appreciate your comments on its veracity-
B principal lender, HSBC, is now "very concerned".
Attempts to deeply discount clothing prices have failed.
Payments to B suppliers and other creditors being delayed.
Trade insurer, Allianz, reduces cover to B suppliers.
B refuses to admit there is a problem.
Sensible investor would steer clear of this until results released in January. If disappointing these definitely heading for the 20s.
The Doomster will be delighted to read that BIRG have broken through their €9 resistance point, trading at 9.04. Impossible to believe he wrote them off in summeer 2020 when they were 1.32. Some Messiah

€9 resistance point broken this am.

Ashton,
was expecting an uplift in sp in run up to year end with funds "inflating" y/e values.uplift often continues into the new year and will expect this with BIRG as 22 final figs being publicised 7 march.Historically,much of stocks annual gains made in 1st qtr.
what happens thereafter will depend on how market interpret y/e figs but I'd imagine close attention will be paid to comments on integration of KBC accounts as 2023 will be 1st year that BIRG benefits from this together with comments on effect of rising EBC rates.

BIRG dealt at $9.55 IN US today - say €9. lets see how they open tomorrow am

Doomster
your 30250 Boohoo investment now worth £2700. If invested in BIRG would be worth £205,000. Any regrets ? must confess I didn't follow your "advise" but invested in BIRG rather than Boohoo.
When are going to comment on the FACTS set out in my 22.03 post. Do you find these FACTS HUMILIATING?

Doomster
is alzheimers setting in - have already posted that I don't do/believe in shorts and should be banned .
I will have a look when they are in the 20s but must confess have lost nearly all confidence in a possibility of recovery here. see a broker this morning reduced TP from 165 to 40p
Any recovery in sp towards 50p will see plenty of punters heading for the hills.
