You'll all remember IQE and Bluglass have collaborated on RPCVD, wont you ?

Patience is the new name for AIM stocks. This will not move higher until the Board bring materially positive and factual news to the market.

Sadly, IQE failed to rise to the occasion on the last day of trading for 2018. 'We' finished 0.7p down at 65.0p. In contrast, VRS powered ahead another 6.5p to 134.50p.

On the year, IQE finished 52.5% down whilst VRS was up 123.3%.

On New Year's Day we had 51 posts on VRS & IQE. 46 on VRS & 5 on IQE. No prizes for guessing which company is attracting the most attention.

bocase thinks that fortunes could be reversed in 2019 and I hope he's right.

Over on VRS punters are getting incredibly excited and although the company only has a market cap of £207m at present [IQE's is £503m] they are talking confidently about it being a £1 billion company by year end. One enthusiast says he sees no reason why the share price shouldn't hit £20 over the same period. Another says VRS will soon become the new ARM Holdings.

I don't know what they are drinking over there, but I wouldn't mind a pint or two of it. I wonder if they are getting carried away? What do you think?

I'll be over-the-moon if IQE's share price hits £3 by year end, but a takeover at £2 in the spring will do me.

Let's hope we are 'off-to-the-races' starting today. GLA!

Must sign off as the milk lady has just delivered a couple of 'jugs' of full-bodied for me and she needs seeing to.

Well.. I am the one that attempted to answer when everyone else ignored.
I have learnt my lesson.

A poster on another board asked about the increase in shares last year; only 2 things I can think of: employees exercising stock options and the payment to Translucent.

The biggest beneficiary of the "issuance" bought by TRP in Nov. 2017 was by far the IQE balance sheet. Just do a "before-and-after" comparison.

[owenga] 31/12/2018 18:45

There overall holding had gone up to 15.78%, of which the shares out on loan has dropped to 4.18%. Not very complicated really???

[blueflame] 31/12/2018 17:23

TRP started facilitating the Hedge Funds AFTER the fund raise. My figures for them were AFTER the fund raise. Do you not think they have been party to the destruction of not only there own shareholding value but also every other shareholder in IQE?

[blueflame] 31/12/2018 15:49

November 2017 after the fundraising TRP had circa 80m shares worth £144m. Today they have circa 120m shares worth £77m and that is after spending approximately £40m acquiring the extra circa 40m shares. How on earth anyone can think that is good business is beyond me. They, through their lending out of shares, have facilitated this collapse in the share price It’s an absolute disgrace. Drew Nelson said at the agm that he only wanted institutional investors because that would stop the volatility in the share price I wonder if he is still of the same opinion....

[jimboyce] 31/12/2018 12:37

It is better to see that during this year TRPrice have increased their investment by 3.69%, even with shorters being present. It seems that TRP have been using the shorters to acquire further shares at a price that may not have been obtainable without the shorters intervention.I am happy to hold for the long term together with TRP, who are playing it very cleverly with a clear view to the future.Let's see what 2019 has to offer.

Diplomat65: The last RNS shows a holding of 82980774 shares which was a sell from 11.24% to 10.98% and the shares on loan rising to 4.98%.

This RNS now shows a holding of 89584460 up from 10.69% to 11.54% and the shares on loan down to 4.18%.

I made a graph of these Price dealings since Dec 20th 2017 and apart from the initial surge there is an almost perfect wave form as the year progresses.

That as far as I'm concerned is a short on a company that has share holders who perhaps are very skittish and mostly in the dark as to what the company does rather than Price or any other shorters, 'knowing something is really very dodgy going on in the back ground'.In other words the shares on loan graph line would be going up and not in a wave form.

Rowe Price upped holding by almost 1%

[adejuk] 31/12/2018 11:40

i am currently offside by about 40k

[adejuk] 31/12/2018 11:39

either way, they have confidence in the company or in its shorting potential as a loan out. at what price? at what fee?
no doubt 2019 will tell the story - i guess !

[adejuk] 31/12/2018 11:38

dip
me neither but i think they have reduced stock on loan by approx 2mill.
it seems to not make any difference to the share price so maybe i am as ignorant as you think you are :-)

A Happy New Year to all long-suffering, underwater IQE investors. Let's hope all the positives in store for the business, new CFO, 25 new clients, LIDAR, HADR, NIL etc all contribute to a steady, sustainable rise in the share price Meanwhile, would any knowledgeable poster care to explain the implications of today's RNS regarding the change to T Row Price holding? I just don't know how to read these flippin' documents!

This Forbes report, building on the earlier 27 Dec Bloomberg report, suggests Apple will incorporate Time of Flight cameras in 2019
