Re. The Goldman Sachs holding. The alleged increase of 5% would be over 35m shares. When was that traded ? Volumes over the last month dont seem to support that. And the share price movement has been steadily down. Something doesnt quite add up.....

[richardc77] 01/8/2018 09:23

Roger, I believe strongly that right now is akin to where we were 18months ago. Whilst we may not see the same % increase in share price as we did back then, I believe we will see a similar uplift in share price pence terms by the beginning of 2020. (ie the 160p of 20p to 180p)

FTC 5G order announced today, perhaps it is where IQE were 18 months ago in terms of ramp up of transformational tech?

[richardc77] 01/8/2018 09:00

I hope Sheepy gets back his shares he sold yesterday at his 80p target ;)

I have put my charts on many times and explained the thinking behind them.
The advfn chart systems have degraded (along with the rest of the service) and it it quite difficult to use now but I will give it another go. Give me a few hours.

Horn blower. As a holder I hope you are right but how and why do you come to this conclusion - or is it mere speculation? If the latter then it's worthless

[horneblower] 01/8/2018 08:50

I agree, my chart suggests it will shoot to 180p quite smartish...but I think it will close below 100p one more time...and I'm sticking with £6 around 2020.

[bulltradept] 01/8/2018 08:45

At least you now know if it goes through a £1.00 again it should break on its next attempt.

Goldman recently significantly increased their stake in IQE to hold 6.6% of IQE.

Now, Goldman really are the best of the best in investment bank world so when they buy you really should sit up and take note.

CRUNK

As you know I am with you on the probable manipulation by T Rowe and Goldmans of IQE's share price.

At some stage they are going to take their foot off the suppression valve and the share price is going to rocket. And so will their profits.

And the first sign from the MM’s that the shorters are trying to buy stock to close their positions will light the blue touch-paper.

This share price is beautifully poised for lift-off.

Jay, some funds clearly are doing that, read the recent RNS’

[suejarvie] 01/8/2018 08:17

If I were an astute fund manager with plenty of liquidity I would be quietly mopping up everything that the shortsellers were selling.
I think a handsome result would be forthcoming at some point!!

[mcsquared] 01/8/2018 08:15

thecruch - It is strange that there is a concerted effort from a shorting campaign in which none in, or joining the party, have broken ranks. You could be forgiven for thinking that the concerted effort is supported by someone with deep pockets that has agreed a share price for a takeout that secures profit for the shorters but delivers a steel at a knocked down piece for a predator in the wings.

[adejuk] 01/8/2018 08:15

they won't let it go.
odds on a red finish

[american idiot] 01/8/2018 08:11

Heading back up towards the top of the bullish wedge pattern ?

[richardc77] 01/8/2018 08:02

In theory we should be up today, but let’s see as we all know common sense has left town re IQE shares!

[paradores] 01/8/2018 07:45

Not long before Android handsets join the party, 2019 holds great promise and on many fronts.

[adventurous] 01/8/2018 07:40

break convention - thankfully IQE's growth success isn't overly reliant on Apple, they are just part of their story.

[thecrunk] 01/8/2018 06:42

By every measure the share price should rocket today. We are months away from 3D sensing (and IQE) becomming truly mass market.

However I suspect T Rowe Price have other plans for today.

Buy and then short probably another 10m shares and keep price at current level I would imagine. Push shorts up to 12-15%.

[breakconvention] 31/7/2018 23:16

We all know that this share price has been manipulated for a long time, by focused groups of trading schools...shorting. Shorters please realise that, it would be wise that you now focus your attention else where. I would not bet against the future success of Apple / IQE.. Its a very high risk bet. You think you have balls, but it may be suicide.

"Apple’s guidance for the coming quarter also came in just ahead of analysts’ forecasts, with revenues of $60bn to $62bn, pointing to a likely return to the usual September iPhone launch schedule."

[whosaninja] 31/7/2018 22:00

iPhone unit sales increased just 1 per cent to 41.3m, but higher average selling prices pushed year-on-year revenues 20 per cent higher to $29.9bn for the flagship product. Reported unit sales do not include another 3.5m iPhones that were already in the retail channel and were sold to consumers during the quarter, with its high-priced iPhone X remaining the most popular model.

[garyjonesltd] 31/7/2018 21:34

Apple results better than forecast, already + 2.5% post close! And rising...
