Amazon and Apple are the poster boys if you want good examples of boom, crash, boomI've held both forever.

It's going 'to the moon' horneblower. Light the rocket! With this and that 'gem' VRS you'll be a mi-yon-air soon! Delboy told me :)

Markets will rebound. shorts have saved us from a free fall so far. If they close now we are likely to experience a rise probably to 90s.

[horneblower] 11/10/2018 09:08

SnF.
Better close them then because there's going to be a big bounce.

Well my long term index hedge positions on the Nasdaq and S&P are doing exactly what they were designed to do, protect my capital in down swings.My bearish market views are no doubt as welcome on this BB now as they were a few months back, but I believe this is just the start of a major bear market and the economic and political headwinds are just picking up. IQE is well positioned but nothing will survive unscathed if the Nasdaq loses 50 to 70 percent of its value over the next 18 months. As ever, have cash ready for when the blood is on the streets. History repeating itself -

"All this talk of 'gaps'.

Meaningless twaddle!

I am looking forward to seeing a massive ramp in production in the next six months and this market weakness will see many of the short positions closed and we can look forward to a more normal market."

Giggles....

You've not read many trading books then have you! Doh!

You are getting too emotional, too late now though with 20 mins to go!

If Mr Market is going full bear mode, there is a gap @ 37p. Don't thank me now though will you! ;-)

Grity - where is Sweenoid - are you sure he was an IQE supporter or just there to pump it ready for shorters - and where did Monty go?

Wouldn’t surprise me if this went to 50p given the state of world markets and tech especially. Time to be out of the markets. Unfortunately I’m still about 30 per cent invested

[bocase] 10/10/2018 22:26

Carnage on the US markets tonight. Dow down 1000 points if we include the after hours futures, Apple down 5%

Ironically I think this may be good news for IQE as there will be blood on the screens tomorrow including IQE but I think this is what they shorters have been waiting for to take the maximum profit and we should see them buying to close, which of course will reduce the total short positions further and may trigger a turnaround as others follow suit.

We have already seen Wellington using the weakness to reduce.

Is the jigsaw finally falling into place or am I barking up the wrong tree? I know we have a partnership with BluGlass & inturn lumileds. ( see in the dark )

This is a extract from the March results

Customer interactions broadening for InfraRed. Now working with major OEM and device companies in developing InfraRed products for mass market consumer applications.



Now this from lumileds today .





And finally this connection from last year.





Come on S we need a bit of input !

[mhassanriaz] 10/10/2018 19:56

That one million share buy I was on about two days back was indeed Wellington closing. I have faith in the company and short reduction is taking place at the right time which is why we were not as badly affected like others. Lets not forget that IQE has to have an ace up their sleeves and a King (CFO) to shock shorts. Otherwise 140s would take ages to reach but you never know people are waiting for the tide to turn. Seeking alpha have gone quite.

[gavbro0] 10/10/2018 19:48

Nah - I'm buying more each month as a drip feed. Bargain opportunity for me and I hope it stays like this so I can keep topping up before it takes off and becomes unaffordable to me!

[richardc77] 10/10/2018 19:33

I am already bargain hunting with a firm eye not on todays portfolio value (15% down from high) but what I think it will be worth in 2-3 yrs time. I am getting a warm feeling

On other news, Dow down almost 600 points 😳

[adejuk] 10/10/2018 19:26

today should have been manna for the shirters

[adejuk] 10/10/2018 19:25

remarkably good day
carnage out there
short lived i think
bargain hunters will be out soon - i hope

[lizslave] 10/10/2018 19:24

Short positions 9.88%, not in top 5 shorts anymore!

[richardc77] 10/10/2018 19:19

I’m 33% red wine, 33% Wye valley ale, 33% Zapaca rum and 1% water.

I need some nurofen

I continue to add IQE...
