I bought Ryanair shares at various times since 2008.
I also bought the four Irish banks, and have unrealised capital losses on these bank shares.
In 2021 I sold all the Ryanair shares and the PTSB shares.
I bought back half the number of Ryanair shares a week later at 15.33.
I submitted a CG return, using the capital losses on Anglo Irish Bank and PTSB against the capital gains on Ryanair. As a result, I paid no CGT.
Now it's 2025, and Ryanair have reached 23 euro. I wish to hold shares in this company for the long-term.
Should I sell both the AIB shares and Ryanair shares this year, realising the loss and gain, and then buy back Ryanair at 23 euro, thus establishing a new higher base cost?
The main cost here is the 1% stamp duty, about 100 euro.
Or am I missing something? Should I simply continue to hold AIB and Ryanair into the future? I have no particular pressing need for cash.
