FXCM owned by City Index though aren’t they?

Bank of Ireland shares, a one way bet if you have patience
Gambling in the markets doesn’t suit some lads, Seanie Quinn’s CFD deal must go down as the worst advised punt in the history of the state. If he had invested in US Equities he would be about 20% up now after a few years. Rich cunts don’t generally loose unless their looking for huge gains overnight.
Do some research in the degenerate gamblers thread there Tess.
I thought the ship had sailed on this?
Apologies Michael, they own IFX and FX Solutions. An easy mistake to make.
If you like a good Mamhattan head for Banc on 3rd Av. Couple of heads from Ballina run the shop. Tell them TFK sent you and you’ll be set. I fucking love NYC
True. Bernie Madoffs clients were only looking for capital preservation and a handy return.
The ballsy guys have sailed it and docked it already.
It’s all about timing. I started paying into a fund around 98. Then the dot com bubble burst. I said fuck this and stopped paying in around 2003. Then it recovered a good bit then the 2007/2008 crash hit and lost about 30%. Only now has it just about got back to par.
On the other hand i went directly into a few equities in july/Aug 2008 and i’m 50% up there. But I handpicked them.
US PE 's are very high. I expect some correction there. Would keep an eye and go in around mid year.
If i was looking for emerging markets, I’d look at Africa. Not so many funds around though.
Euro taking another battering today after confirmation of QE. In around $1.14:€1 at times. We may see $1.10:€1 before long.
[QUOTE=“caoimhaoin, post: 1074705, member: 273”]If people have money to invest, go find some local companies who think will go somewhere and invest in them. Do a deal with them based on results. There are people out there all the time with great ideas.
Go to the colleges or to somewhere NuBus or the likes.
Fuck giving it to some latchico like Julio to take his cut and then play games with it. You’ debate as well of giving it to paddy power and having a cut off it with something you know about like hurling or soccer or something.
It’s all about your risk and not theirs. Fuck that.[/QUOTE]

The Greek stuff is coming to a head.
[SIZE=3]ECB refusing to take Greek Bonds as collateral meaning their banks will be under a serious liquidity squeeze. [/SIZE]
The Greek Finance minister met his German counterpart today and it didn’t go well.
After the meeting the German lad said they had agreed to disagree, then the Greek fella pops up and said we couldn’t even agree on that

Hon Greece
The new Greek finance minister seems like a seriously competent chap. Makes a nice change to see it. He’s a professor and his specialty is game theory which adds a nice dimension to the whole thing.
We will see.
He has increased pensions by 25% already but doesn’t have a pot to piss in. Might be better to get a deal before spending money Greece doesn’t have.
The FT German correspondent reckons the Germans aren’t blinking, and that the Greeks are steadily backing up. Might he a role for the Greek finance minister in FG yet.
Apparently the ECB pulling their Greek bond purchases has pulled his togs down.
