I wonder what percentage of us on here have an entitlement one way or another to an Irish passport.

Had to spend 235p this morning to pick up another 3k worth.
Can't buy any with AJ Bell either.
This is set to move north and thankfully I'm up to my neck already.
I can sell @ 2.30 and I can't get a quote to buy 2000 shares. That's on the HL site.
???? That is the question !!!!
This goes ex dividend tomorrow with a pay-out date of October 4th. So one could sell yesterday and still get the dividend which is tempting although at a poor price I'm not sure. I topped up today so I get a bigger payout on October 4th and could sell tomorrow and still get the pay-out which I will not be doing as these are undervalued.
NO public holiday in Ireland though so you have something to watch or is RYA on the Irish Stock Exchange ?
Trading in apple green shares was suspended on August 2nd 2018 They are in the midst of a reverse takeover of the UK group Welcome Break. A huge development but not without its risks. they will trade again some time in September. For the full story google the words applegreen and Irish times and read the pieces published on August 2nd and 4th. I look forward to seeing what value this will add.
That’s why it’s fallen today.
but in general we have a lot of people taking their money off the table with summer holidays approaching. No point in following as it only exaggerates the trend.
Anyone still shorting this must have lost their marbles. Do they not take a look in every now and then to check what's happening. Its been on the up and up for almost three months now. If that were my fund manager I would be rightly ****ed off.
The ADVFN BB seems to think its all related to the US rise in copper to $3.25. Not anything to do with the courtcase.
Yes, this has been on the rise for seven weeks now so how can there still be such a huge percentage of shorters. Is this information accurate at all ? I doubt it. That figure has been static for ages which is very hard to credit.
