There is the Big Pit near bye ! A working mine run by The National Museum of Wales ! Apparently Arthur Scargill's comrades run it , so I am reliably informed ! If they ended up down there , they may never be seen again !

"Let's hope that he and hammerd2 haven't fallen down a disused mineshaft on the way back from 'The Tour'!" Preferably they have indeed fallen down a disused mineshaft and NOT fallen over a disused Aixtron unit......

No! The TU could be another week away. When there is good news for us, Sweeney is on here in a flash. Let's hope that he and hammerd2 haven't fallen down a disused mineshaft on the way back from 'The Tour'!

Might have to bring Lassie out of retirement?

Wouldn't it be more sensible if he waited until the trading statement is published and then comment on both?

[yankeekraut] 21/7/2018 12:00

all right Mr. Sweeney - take a few aspirins to help with the hangover, and give us the low-down on the tour yesterday. You must certainly have realized that u are our semi-official PR go-to guy for all things related to IQE. Let's have it !

solderflux. Yes. Exactly. Open market apparently being manipilated, by them buying and selling between themselves, seemingly on open market but they seem to be able to ensure they themselves are the buyer. If say "normal" share price is 1.10 and they do big (tranched) deals between themselves at say 1.05, it will bring the "normal" share price down, even though no real trades have taken place and there have been no shareholders willing to sell.

[solderflux] 21/7/2018 11:12

Dave- I am not referring to private transfers/buy/ sells but dealing through normal trading ie I sell and you buy it in tranches to get the desired effect on the share price

[dr_smith] 21/7/2018 10:38

solderflux - yes, it has crossed my mind many times, the market could be manipulated this way, but semi-dismissed it as I would assume private transfers are not reflected in market price, and to go through market, as computers are able to snaffle shares (e.g. third party buyer) within a millisecond, so I don't know how they can be sure to buy them back themselves.
hmmm... maybe they also have olde worlde telephone system to go through market AND be sure buyer is themselves (in counterpart).

Also, I hope Mr taxman is collecting on these.
AIM share stamp duty exempt for AIM shares for private investors - though I wouldn't be surprised if they dodge this tax.

I think this is bad for US trade too. I'll get Mr T to slap some special tarriffs on DB's. (Devious B*st*rds).
All IMBO
In my biased opinion ;-)

It could be of note that Goldman are back over 6% prior to next weeks update. Let’s see...

[thecrunk] 21/7/2018 08:47

Sweenoid must have got hammered yeterday.

Hope trump blows over

[solderflux] 20/7/2018 23:21

Having watched today's proceedings (or for that matter last couple of months)I believe it's T Rowe shorts who are buying and selling between themselves on daily basis ( at least 80% of volume). Their intention is to spook the PI and markets. Changes in short tracker mirror share price movement.

It’s a phoney war, it’s just how Trump does things, threats like a toddler

I've said it before, why would China put tariffs on Apple products when most if not all of them are produced in China?

[richardc77] 20/7/2018 20:09

Ain’t gonna happen

[adventurous] 20/7/2018 19:50

"What if China puts tariffs on Apple products: iPhones and iPads."

Well, buyers have to pay more for Apple products, or they buy Samsung or another smart phone built with the help of IQE technology!

[richardc77] 20/7/2018 18:22

GS now back over 6% then? Interesting timing

[sheep_herder] 20/7/2018 18:18

Sorry chaps, but I've got DMA access and there's no way the rampmeister general is winning this bet!

I've seen a couple of comments on this thread that there are 8 tools in production and 2 at testing stage. I don't think that's right. At best there are 2 tools at testing stage, 3 being prepared for testing and 5 being set up. My take is that AIXTRON get them set up and we then adapt them to produce the 6 inch wafers. Not all wafers are the same, so each tool is fine tuned to meet a manufacturers specific requirement.

I was watching trades go through for the last 15 minutes of the day.
On a number of occasions I saw suspicious entries. For example, when the bid/offer was 105/105.2 the next entry showed bid offer 103.4/109.4 and 33000 shares transacted at price of 105.3. Because of the false spread the deal was registered as a sell. This happened four or five times. Within the next few hundredths of a second the spread returned to normal for the next transaction.
The false bid/offer occurred when a substantial deal was being entered.
As a matter of interest, the closing share price for this week is exactly the same as last week. What makes us think orchestration is at play?
