The New Ireland Fund, Inc. (IRL)

CAPS Rating:
****

A Closed-end fund that has incorporated stocks from Irish Firms.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Can't be beat in Europe- lowest tax rate, highest birth rate (best demographics), and they speak ENGLISH! Great future, and this closed end fund approximates an EFT. Buy it now!

I am really not sure how all of you can be so bullish on this stock. The crisis we are seeing here is NOTHING compared to whats going on in Ireland. Nearly 80% of houses are worth less than what's owed on them and this ETF's biggest 2 holdings, accounting for nearly 30% of the fund is a huge bank wi...More

For those of you bad at geography, Ireland is part of the UK, you know, England. The same UK that has their share of subprime issues.





But yes, you are correct, for some reason Ireland is shielded from the rest of the world's financial woes. IRELAND. 5-star pick? Seriously? Get real. IRELAND. I think you guys are confusing Ireland with Dubai. No... it is not the same. Sorry.

While the credit crunch may be coming to an end in the US, Ireland still has a long way to go and will continue to underperform in the near future.
