Been holding these for a few years now though I must admit selling them about 6 months before the share split. Have subsequently bought back in though and will be running the Scrip dividends for the next 20 - 25 years to take advantage of the compounding factor.

Not only that but the capital growth will be something else too !! A true 'growth' share !!

Added 300 ANGL shares this morning.

Lovely lovely chart........

Agreed, just a pity about that 1% stamp duty thought.

I don't live in the UK but I buy/sell UK shares, have to pay stamp duty too.

Hold this for the long term and the Stamp Duty will not be a worry.

EPS growing at over 25% annually and the Divie ( also available in Scrip form ) at 20%.

As solid as you can get.

I haven't traded Anglo since they went Euro but it's nice to here that they are still a well run outfit.

Nice bit of Intra-day activity:

Bit quiet today though.....

Am looking to add more before the end of October, C'mon 10 Euro !!!!

Added 250 Shares this AM.

Crickey - something is making these move.....

Any ideas ?

I know the US was waiting for some figures but it's a bit early for them.

Anyone read Warren Buffets annual reports ?

I quite like the 2005 Berkshire annual report - great reading imo.

NO Red !!! ( touch wood ).

Backwardisation - gotta love it.

Approaching 12 Euro too.......

Nice.....

Anglo Irish Bank (Starting Points September 04 2006)
Fitch upgrades ANGL credit rating; trading update at midday September 5th
Fitch Ratings has upgraded ANGL's rating from A to A+. The upgrade reflects consistent growth in the bank's operating profit and prospects for continued growth for at least the next two to three years, a larger capital base and greater diversification of assets and funding. Fitch expects profitability to continue to improve in 2006 and beyond. This strong profitability growth should put the bank in a better position to manage successfully any credit-related shocks, although Fitch is not expecting any significant asset quality deterioration in the medium term.
ANGL is due to release a pre-close trading statement at midday on September 5th. The shares gained 3.1% last week in anticipation of a positive update, bringing the advance over the past month to 15.8%, one of the top performances in the European bank sector.
