Squire why Monday?

New Tax Year starts tomorrow.

Is it because people need a day or two to figure out where they will reinvest their ISA funds?

Any light you could shineth would be appreciated

World cup octopus.

You a prat.

If you want to post like an inane imbecile do it elsewhere.

World cup octopus joined AFDVN today. And his first post ever was this stock is going to 60p.

Filter.

But more concerning it looks like the shorter trash are about to invade this board.

[world cup octopus] 05/4/2018 18:12

This stock is going to 60p

Tick tock ..... monday :-)

It seems sentiment has changed, many on here that at one time were bullish (with a small b) are now quite a bit more conservative. If that's what has happened to the bullish, one might reasonably extrapolate to suggest that sentiment is on average more negative than it was. Certainly, no more posts of how cheap the share price is, or people going in now, at a price that was in the recent past considered by many here as a steal.

Hammerd2 has hit the nail on the head IMHO (!), he's just got fed up repeating it. Unless there is a significant increase in profit per wafer due to IQE shifting to creating wafers that have better margins, IQE has a visible revenue ceiling limit based on their current and so far projected plans for installation of more wafer production facilities. The funds raised at the 140p institutional round don't (at least on the surface) equate to the thus far stated pace of deployment of new facilities. All the new tech / possibilities / development in fields that play into IQE do not count for much until after 2019, unless they accelerate their plans to bring more capacity on stream before then.

The other possibility relates to licensing, which doesn't appear to be a big part of IQE's business model. The fact that some commentators remarked on it might be because it is a revenue stream that *ISN'T* reliant on capacity.

suffernofools:

I agree with your logic. Long term uptrends are very powerful and the fundamentals are extremely strong.

All together now... Fib, shoulders, knees & toes, knees & toes; Fib, shoulders, knees & toes, knees & tooooes. Eyes, and ears, and mouth and nose. Fib, shoulders, knees & toes, knees & toes. Anyone got the World Cup predicting Octopus to see if he thinks it's going to 80p?

[adejuk] 05/4/2018 16:06

crunk
agree
80p next stop

[thecrunk] 05/4/2018 16:05

With 8 buy ratings, Cumulative Annual Compound Growth of 40-60% per year, an average broker price target of 174p, a rebound in the NASDAQ and all the US Semiconductor Index I think 100p is defenitley on the cards.

Simply because the better IQE does, the lower its share price becomes. True- what an unfortunate state of affairs

[suffersnofools] 05/4/2018 16:04

We're currently at the .618 fib support (112.8)

I'm not convinced by the validity of the H&S formation. Neckline is unclear.

Rising trendline support is more relevant I think.

[thecrunk] 05/4/2018 16:02

Agreed adejuk I think it will be 80p.

What do you think is holding it at 113p? Why not 100p today?

[adejuk] 05/4/2018 16:00

any sword swallowers on board?

[adejuk] 05/4/2018 15:53

agree
£1 on the cards
perhaps even lower if the shorters push hard

[rathean] 05/4/2018 15:46

Chart suggesting circa £1 will be a good buy in, fairly recent support at that level. Haven't traded this since selling at 125 on the way up, nervous to take the plunge before support levels tested and hold.

[thecrunk] 05/4/2018 15:22

Our friends accross the pond doing well already. MACOMM up 2% on open. On top of yesterdays 10% very good performance MACOMM well done.

[belt n braces] 05/4/2018 14:53

prelude to gotham city research?

[belt n braces] 05/4/2018 14:51

the batman pattern?

[windsor430] 05/4/2018 14:26

Knees and toes pattern to spook investors too.

[grity] 05/4/2018 13:38

Sure you was SH ;-)

[thecrunk] 05/4/2018 13:37

I think one small thing that will help - when they announce a new CFO who is hopefully highly regarded.

Also for the NASDAQ to hold its ground later today.

[adejuk] 05/4/2018 13:32

it's a standard complaint but iqe's pr is woeful

[adejuk] 05/4/2018 13:30

there is no mystery to drop
nas has been getting trumped and our shorters are active in spades
they will not let go of us so long as they can generate this volatility
it's easy money for them and it will take at least a year for the share price to settle into something resembling a 'normal' market.

[sheep_herder] 05/4/2018 12:45

Oh dear, I was joking, it's at the research paper stage. I assume in 20 years they might be in production somewhere.
