Lol. Many large cap banks in the EU have pink sheet desinations because of their listing of origin. All kinds of legitimate large cap big board stocks in other countries have this designation in every sector.

Re: #1,497: @Huggy Bear - Not yet.

Nice financial report today! This one is due for a nice run up.

I'm sure you've noticed the arbitrage has moved in favor of BKIR recently, along with the rise of the dollar against the euro.

BKIR @ .34e x 1.1192 x 40 = $15.22 - $15.08 = $0.14, or nearly a 1% premium on the euro shares now.

Thanks. I suppose this is what is causing a bit of a stir?

http://www.forbes.com/sites/raoulruparel/2014/07/04/the-ecbs-new-lending-operations-are-off-target/

I do not really have an opinion on that, although I tend to agree that very little of this EU version of "stimulus" spending will actually get thru to bolster the local economies.

The goal is to provide more incentive for the private banking sector to make non-real estate backed loans to the public, assumingly for small business growth to strengthen the economy as a whole correct?

Remains to be seen how effective this round will be in accomplishing those goals, or not. The historic low interest rates the banks will pay for access to these funds cannot hurt the bottom line fiscally. But I do not expect any EU financial institution with primary operations in the EU to make significant gains earnings wise until the economy as a whole recovers more and interest rates overall rise naturally.

Overall I still have a strong opinion of IRE and BKIR.L as long term growth assets to accumulate and hold.

No surprise to me. Contrarian investors moving on to the next unloved yet solid enough distressed stock.

Let's crunch the arbitrage, it has been awhile.

BKIR.L at .284 x 40 x 1.3 = 14.77

IRE running a slight premium over BKIR.L

The days of the historical 40% over seem to be long gone in the rearview mirror.

Impressive cash value of $500,000 US.
This pick is so notable for the normal day trading volume.
Just added 500 shares to my portfolio. Looking for 3-4% of uptrend before it touching $16.
However, 3-4% can easily become 15-20%. It depends on momentum to decide if sell freshly purchased shares or just hold.

Unrelated IMO. Seems more like IRE tracking BKIR.L as always, with IRE holding a slight premium over BKIR.L, the arbitrage.

At .257, BKIR.L is barely off a 52 week low.

Will be repurchasing trading shares when an uptrend in BKIR.L is established.

BKIR.L currently at .257. .257 x 40 x 1.37 = 14.08

Re: #1,465: @karltimber - hi this is the text extract

That is the kind of real deal information I find extremely useful. Thanks for the link, I can go from that.

I also find it quite interesting that Ross and Watsa are only taking one-third of their stake off the table at this juncture, while institutional funds and retailers alike are absorbing that transfer of shares at this level. The Irish govt seems to be holding their 14% stake in shares a bit longer?

110.4M volume on BKIR today is moving the transfer to of that big block of shares the next investors, which may not get washed out for a bit longer.

It is a strong sign for future BKIR and IRE appreciation, but BKIR is not going to one euro nor IRE a hundred bucks in the next year.

A few years down the road, perhaps.

Ross and Watsa took one third off the table for their initial investment and then some. I did as well.

There is always another deep value investment to get involved in. These guys are going to move their money into the next opportunity they find attractive and so am I.

I find Santander quite attractive at this level for accumulation and have been acting accordingly.

main part is - "inbound inquiry" - to me that sounds like Ross was offer a good deal on some of his shares and also states he isn't selling any more.

Hi Karl, thanks for the input.

I have been reviewing and thinking about all the info contained in the conference call following earnings, and this is bull juice, the market is reacting the wrong way and it will correct IMO.

http://seekingalpha.com/article/2063063-bank-of-irelands-ceo-discusses-q4-2013-results-earnings-call-transcript?page=4

No, I have not mustered the stones yet to get into the full filing. No rush for me, I am confident in the long term direction.

If folks were thinking FKIR.L was going to rush off to a buck then they were swilling absinthe.

Hell, Ross himself announced his target exit starting around .29 when he bought recap shares at .10, so why would anyone be surprised is beyond me.

Appreciate the update on the local fund holdings, I don't have access to that info readily. Is there a link you could provide? Not that I don't believe you I just like to review things for myself.

Hi,

A few things.
Over reaction from retail who though it would be Euro1 this week.
Along with some heavy hitters selling too.

I am just waiting for cash to clear -and will buy Wed am, because - when I look back in 2 or 3 years, I will laugh at today.
Ross is indeed reducing his take but it will be taken up by other institutions.
Long term - Bir will be fine.
