Allied Irish Banks, plc. (ADR) (AIB)

The conservatively run Allied Irish Banks will ride out the storm with minimal damage.

I gots my money on this, (2% of my total postfolio) now go make me rich little Irish Bank.

Its a bank and these phoney institutions will do anything to keep their phoney balloney jobs. Just check all the banks they have gained the most since bottoming out, AIB is no different.

Allied Bank is solid. The reason that is going down is fear of the credit market. If you can buy more now at this price you will be in great shape in 5 years. This Bank is going nowhere but up.

Purchased few at $11 Nama cleared now give it 3 years will be at least at $20 levels.

They are conservative enough to weather the storm and eventually well run companies will be rewarded.

Financials have been beaten down due to subprime debacle. Strong Irish bank with limited suprime exposure trading at the low end of its price range. Opportunites for growth in the U.S. and Eastern Europe.

I have banks on my to-buy list... love the banks.

Póg mo thóin!

mdp pick. Thats all I got.

Good bank, huge yield

The bank is exposed to mortgages and the falling real estate market in Ireland and UK. However it is diversified, it has no subprime exposure and so called NINJA loans (No income, no job and assets) and it is currently trying to get market share in the ballooning easter economies. It has bought a bank in Poland and a few days ago a 49,99% share in a Bulgaria bank.

Valuation is pretty good P/E around 6-7.

Check it out.

Nice dividend, 5 S&P stars, 12 month target of $56.

Top of the warning to you--this Irish dividend payer may cut its dividend, but should provide a pot at the end of the rainbow formed by the current dark clouds. A double bottom at about 8? If it makes it to 15, the wind will be at your back and the sun on your face.

Beautiful dividend over 8% and a dividend 5 Yr Growth Rate of 18%. P/E at 5 year low. Provides global diversification. The Motley fool have risked their own money on this and a Global Gains recommendation, at much higher prices than I am paying. Trading at 1.1 times tangible book value. CAPS 5 star rating. Did I mention I love dividends?

These Irish banks are spec garbage.

Awesome stuff.

Has a 7 1/2 dividend (according to Hillary Cramer) and has a monopoly or near monopoly in Ireland. Sounds good to me. Chart is good too.

They've outperformed the S&P since 2002. They provide a dividend. Reasonable P/E. 42.5% growth the past 5 years.
