    What does Brian Lucey mean by "Selling Anglo's Deposits"?

    Just a reminder that FillYerBoots and his blind followers were talking out of their collective hoops: https://www.irishexaminer.com/business/anglo-to-sell-most-of-deposit-book-to-aib-146405.html

    KBC negative equity mortgage and closing sale/purchase on the same day

    Hi, Has anyone successfully sold a property mortgaged with KBC using their negative equity trade-up product? [broken link removed] I've been told (at application stage) by branch representative that we would need to close both transactions on the same day. So there would be no period of...

    Should we just leave the euro?

    There's much more to it than just: The article is nonsense. No-one advocating leaving the Euro has been able to explain how it can be done.

    Why no mention of that "bankrupcty"

    No he didn't. Unless the business of the Quinn Group was betting the house on an individual CFD. He's been in the press moaning about how he's being characterised as a reckless gambler. Quite disgusting to be honest.

    Morgan Kelly's latest article

    You must have listened to a different interview because he sounded like a nervous joke to me.

    Welfare, pensions, salaries slashed if we quit bailout

    They will have to be slashed anyway. It comes down to whether we want it to be a time of our choosing or not. Funny article by the indo though. Almost like people needed to be reminded that we are still running a massive deficit despite the (tiny) amount of cuts that everyone's been getting so...

    Merkel's threat to Ireland - drop the Corporation Tax rate or no deal

    The other thing I don't see much mention of is how irrelevant a drop in the rate would be.

    George Hook - over exposure?

    I agree, much much better. Francis can be very negative on the Irish team, but its reasoned and informed commentary, as opposed to Hook.

    "Burn the rhetoric, not the bondholders"

    I disagree with this: We wouldn't have a european-wide banking crisis if they were so risk-averse. Holding Irish bank debt while they were hopelessly insolvent is not risk-averse. Junk is junk, senior or not.

    Supermarket "Deals"

    Also, keep an eye on the 'xx% extra' deals, that turn out more expensive per weight than the normal versions.

    Alan Dukes making very odd statements

    Yes, very strange comments from such a stout fellow. If you didn't know any better, you'ld swear all of those lunatics like Kelly and Matthews were on to something. :rolleyes:

    Fingleton should not be criticized for investing his pension in bank shares

    Any investment strategy that places your net worth in a handful of companies, in one sector, in one country, is risky by definition. Reducing the risk of your portfolio is not about trying to guess or "foresee" which company will go bust in order to avoid that stock, but by diversifying to the...

    Dáil to vote on Bailout

    Not sure if you noticed this, but Labour don't have a majority either. They can't even get independents to support them. That's why they're not in government by the way.

    Social partnership to blame for woes..thoughts?

    I agree, running a complete sh*t show like FAS will have given him plenty of experience for maintaining the status quo at the CB.

    Bailed-out AIB to pay top staff €40m bonus

    The idea that the letter from Lenihan (pretending that he'll let the bank go bust if they pay these bonuses) should stand up in court is laughable. You don't seem to have a grasp on what the Capital Markets Group does.
