Hi, I'm new to investing, well actually, I haven't started investing yet. I'm looking for some advice on buying some shares in Irish banks, possibly AIB. I have €25,000 savings, but do not want to invest it all, maybe €5,000. I have been doing some research on the internet regarding the risk of this and there are obviously two sides to the story. I know the banking situation at ...

Hi, I suppose people are getting sick of posts like this. First of all let me say that i'm in this for the long haul. Still I invested 10K in the ISEQ ETF in March 2007 and It's now worth 3,169. I don't need the money now, and I know this is just a paper loss, but surely the only way is up from here. Isn't it? And don't reply saying "Past performance is no indication of blah blah blah..."

You know those really old fshioned ones that you need to ...

Not sure if this has been asked before can anyone tell me why RTE still broadcasts the Angelus every day? I thought religious "advertising" was banned, but aside from that in these days of equality why does no other religion get similar free advertising, even in proportion to its numbers.

Since Halloween is coming up I thought about a movie I saw some time ago called Underworld (movie about the war between werewolves and vampires). Then I got to thinking about which I'd rather be a vampire:- stay up all night...get to wear cool clothes...young women fall under hypnotic spells...after being staked you get to come back as soon as someone drops some blood in the wrong place....
