Maybe a silly point, but if you have over 10K in this PTSB 35day notice account do you receive 1.5% on the first 10K & 3.35% on the remainder? Or is it 3.35% on the entire sum?

Re: Is there a list of historic dividend per share payouts of companies listed on ISE Hey Kingkong, On the Irish Stock Exchange website there are listings of all the companies on the iseq. Just click on the company of interest and then click on the little blue D dividend symbol to get...

I stayed in hotel ciutat vella with my partner a couple months ago. It is nothing very fancy but was nice and had En suite, TV, was clean, pleasant staff, plus only a 2 min walk to las ramblas. http://www.hotelciutatvella.com/?lang=eng

Fed just cut by 75bps.

Thanks for the correction Brendan

As feckless as they are, they are still responsible for minding a lot of the publics money. I don't think waking up to find all your savings with an institution have vanished and there's nothing you can do about it, would be an ideal situation either. Maybe heads of companies should be held...

Hi Gulliver, In your experience how fast do Sharewatch execute transactions? Would you be able to buy and sell shares on the same day, for example? Can you confirm that purchase of US, Irish, UK, and European shares is possible? I know the comission rate is massively better for purchases under...

Hi Eircomnet, For the moment I'm doing nothing and letting Goodbody hold my shares in a nominee account. I only have a small amount of shares with them so am not overly concerned. If I had my life savings with them it would be another matter. In any case, Goodbody is a wholly-owned subsidiary...

Hi Ninsaga, I was trying to make the point that not all chemicals are dangerous and just because they have unusual scientific names does not make them so. Maybe I made my point too subtly. Well I'm glad someone copped on and actually looked up what this "lethal" DHMO actually is.

Has anyone heard of this compound that is found in almost all household cleaners called DHMO (dihydro mono oxide)? I heard it is lethal if inhaled in large doses and yet people use it every day in their houses!!

Hi Eircomnet, Received the same letter a while back. Goodbodys stopped using CREST to hold their clients shares back in November. Apparently Euroclear were slow off the mark issuing these letters. Now any shares are held in a nominee acount by Goodbody. What it actually means for you is that...

Hi RMCF, saw this on Revenue website under Customs and excise: "No additional duty or tax will be charged on goods bought duty and tax paid (e.g. in shops, supermarkets etc.) in another EU country, provided the goods are for your personal use. If your purchases are equivalent to or less than...

I second kaplan. Under the deposit protection scheme you are guaranteed 90% of your money back up to a limit of €20000 per bank. This does not apply to CUs. AFAIK the CUs have a saving protection scheme that may or may not cover you up to a limit of €12500. From www.creditunion.ie...

Everything is sorted. I phoned VHI and it turns out my previous company never got around to letting VHI know that I was no longer an employee. A very helpful lady at VHI said I could "burn the bill if ya want".

Thanks Clubman, was going to call them but just wanted to know where I stand first. I haven't made any claims (since I didn't think I was covered!) in the past year so hopefully that'll help.

Hi All, I worked in a company up to the end of April 2007. This company provided full VHI cover called company plan plus. Once I left this company I assumed that this cover would end unless I specifically contacted them asking for a new plan. So I was a bit suprised when today, I got a bill...

Why are the markets rallying (in particular the DowJ)? I just don't understand it. With all this negative info coming out of the U.S. in the last few days (inflation up, consumer confidence down, housing sales down, commodities like oil and wheat sky high, the dollar at an all time low) how can...

Contact Nestle immediately explaining the situation and quote the text on the tablets. If the tablets are just unprocessed ingredients that were missed by quality control then Nestle should have no problem identifying them. Hang on to the tablets though.

A trillion usually means 10^12 (one million million) in English, but AFAIK it can mean 10^18 (one million million million) in other languages just to confuse things. BTW the "Aggregate Reserves of Depository Institutions and the Monetory Base" stats for this week are out. Non borrowed reserves...

I had similar problem with a well looked after VW polo, 34K on clock, and out of warranty by 3 months. Quoted 2000+ by VW dealer to sort it out. Got a reconditioned gear box for about €800 but not from VW. Disgusted at VW - you'd swear they were designed to just about make the warranty time limit?!
