is now a good time to buy shares?

[the Deel Rover]

Got a tip for BARCLAYS back in February when I was in Armagh - some difference since then

Did you follow the tip Iceman? I bought some of them Jan , they are a thing of beauty.

How much have they gone up by Gerry ?

222% with dividends to come!

What gives you the bigger emotion when dealign in shares.... getting it right when you buy a share  and watching the price rise or getting wrong and watching the price drop. Is it really money that is the motivator or is it the chance to beat the system. At the end of the day, if you have absolutely no money you aren't going to be buying shares, so you can assume that those who do buy  and sell have a little extra cash, so is money the main motivator?

I am not so sure which is the bigger emotion, i have lost big time on a certain drinks copany and two irish owned banks, as their share price collapsed I got to the stage that I could only laugh as they had cost me so much. The rising share is more of a thank f**k I bought them when i said I would. I sometimes watch a share for ages and then dont buy it and then lose out. I watched a mining share for about three months, at 11p I was very interested, i did nothing and the following morning it went to 33p.I was sick.  Money is a motivator,but its a gamble more than anything. In the same way I will study the odds on Paddy Power for the golf.

I agree...... that pit of the stomach sickness when you get it wrong is dreadful, but the relief when you see the shares price rising is sheer relief.

There is a saying that every time you win on the stock market someone else has lost and vice versa.... I guess you just have to keep it in perspective and hope that the number of losers doesn't get out of hand.

it's the only possible reason, but are they insiders or hopelessly optimistic?  They obviously aren't paying to much heed to Eamon Ryan's words on the subject, he effectively said that the state would most likely have to take larger stakes in the banks after the discount rates are determined.
