The Investments subforum on AskAboutMoney.com is where Irish investors (mostly older and well-off) discuss financial strategies. Here are the main themes:
  1. Pensions Are King – Every investment discussion eventually leads to "Max out your pension!" If you’re not doing it, you’re a financial fool.
  2. ETFs = Tax Nightmare – Any newbie asking about ETFs is met with "Have you read the Irish tax treatment? If not, you’re in trouble."
  3. Property Worship – The safest, best, and only real investment is buying property. If you missed out in the 90s or early 2000s, tough luck.
  4. Crypto Is Evil – Any mention of Bitcoin or crypto results in either a ban or a lecture about Ponzi schemes.
  5. Stock Market? Meh. – People acknowledge stocks exist, but Irish bank shares, dividends, or blue-chip companies are preferred over anything too risky.
  6. Risk Aversion – The general consensus is "Why take risks when you can just work a safe job, max your pension, and buy a rental?"
  7. Overly Technical Discussions – A simple investment question often results in a 10-paragraph breakdown of tax law, central bank policies, and historical inflation trends.
