Interestingly enough, CMS has almost risen to where I, as a chartist, would say it is a sell. (Buy it back at 40p).

Someone posted on here recently regarding Richard Griffiths selling down his shares in IQE, well he seems to have done ok with the investment at Communisis (CMS)where he has recently gone over 18% - plus he has dividends!



I hold both so it has been interesting to watch

Don't believe ADVFN share price I could only get 53.3 offered when ADVFN shows 55.

Yump I don't think so in the same market anyway.But going back to 1999 and moving forward there was Durlacher, Asos etc I think it's a case of waiting 5 to 10! Years in a stock and even if it was to be the next Arm who's saying you wouldn't sell at say £2 - the psychology changes once your sitting on a mountain of profit.Having said that look at ACSO, some on that thread are multi-millionaires having held it from the beginning, they now trade 1000 shares for fun whilst still having their huge holdings - and the CEO even said it's just the beginning in Feb 2017 !!!

What price did you get Yump?

It could go the other way of course and all the people who hope that they've got another ARM, find that they haven't.

Then you'll all be scratching your heads wondering what the hell happened.

So what is needed is a set of say 100 shares showing overbought chart signals and see what happened next.

I happen to think the chances of finding another similar business to ARM that gives the same returns are pretty much zero. In part, because businesses have less and less chance to cash in on unique products as time passes, because tech. product life-cycles are reducing.

Have there ever been two of anything like that in investing history ?

Understand your thoughts sailastra, I have only held for a relatively short time but my feeling is that if you are not a trader then take a 12-18 month view and set a interim stop loss. I do think, assuming the forthcoming results are not underwhelming, that in the next year or so IQE will see real growth in newer markets as well as existing wireless so projected eps will justify a much higher per and therefore share price need to see the figures but I am looking for 80p - £1 over this period unless markets deteriorate generally, just my opinion of course.

[sailastra] 16/3/2017 17:46

I may be about to regret this as the share price is very much replicating what it did in 2010/11. That time I sold in the late 50s..Buying back at between 35 and 18p. It's been a long wait....
I am nervous but feel that this time things are much more genuine. Resistance levels have broken down time after time and the share price has climbed a wall of fear with almost all who have bought in the last ten years having been given a chance to get out clean and still they rise.. Volumes have also been rising not falling with many deal sizes beyond those of the retail punter. At the same time IQE is a very much more grown up business than it was then and not really that expensive even today.. I am for holding on, in a few days time all will become clear, but it's risky for sure......

Here's a question for all you traders and chartists out there?There's a lot of 'noise' out there at the moment, a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, a lot of speculation as to whether IQE is now 'toppy', overvalued, reached a 'peak' share price wise etc! My question is are the charts ever wrong? With some 'unexpected' news e.g. Big deal with a new supplier etc, couldn't the charts be 'thrown out of the window' so to speak! At some point ARM must have been showing 'overbought' chart signals but still went on higher and higher! It must have 'broken' the logic somewhere! What would be the catalyst for this doing the same and wouldn't that leave the chartists and traders scratching their heads thinking 'what the hell happened there'?

Over 6m traded now , heading for
10m as fingers crossed prediction for
A Whoosh effect upwards !

[dozey3] 16/3/2017 16:08

Or... you lose either way. It goes up you lose the gain on those you sold; it goes down you lose on the bundle you still hold. Pessimist? Moi?

[tonsil] 16/3/2017 15:30

would I buy at this price right at the top of a spike?

No! i wouldn't. On that basis i sold half at 53.25 and will wait for a pullback to say 45 after the results.
Of course it may not come and continue on upwards - I win either way - just a chunk less that's all.

Big volume now after that million+ trade.

[az4hr] 16/3/2017 11:54

no volume today for some reason

[lurki0] 16/3/2017 11:22

Yes. Cosy arrangement with seller(usually)to maintain some price stability while they ship their money out. Trading algorithms are primed to react to big sells/buys.

[shanieboy01] 16/3/2017 10:47

Can someone explain why there are so many trades the same size? Do the mm's divide the whole trade up into many different smaller ones?

[shanieboy01] 16/3/2017 10:45

Looks like the dump post pump. Watch your stop losses. Dont keep them too close.

[big7ime] 16/3/2017 10:44

Looks like the Shorters have returned

[twatcher] 16/3/2017 10:25

Time for the message board to pivot to

"constructive at this time for the share price to take a breather"

[alwayshopefl] 15/3/2017 20:38

Zedder - and it always goes up or down more than you think.....down, generally in my case!!
