I guess shorters are waiting for IQE to go bust. I still can't fathom what the lender of shares gets though.

I think they have to report their position.

"Sold my 50k I bought at 45p and cashed my 26457.32p profit -
good luck to all ..." -End-

Hi potential, I'm impressed! But, does that 'profit' include your initial stake of £22,500?

I have nothing like that to 'boast' about unfortunately. I did sell some at 60p [not recently]. That's the good news, but the bad news is that I bought that batch for 157p. Whether I was 'daft' to do that, only time will tell. GLA!

EDIT: Sorry chaps, came in from a hard hour of pruning in the garden and put pen to paper before catching up on posts. Well, at least our maths makes more sense than pot's. 'Must try harder' a phrase which often appeared on my old school reports.

Changing tack, is anyone else a bit surprised (& concerned) that the notified short positions haven't reduced very much? I thought they'd dip significantly following the recent share price drop. But the only change currently shown is Blackrock - from 0.60% to 0.42%.

[lord loads of lolly] 27/6/2019 17:22

potential - sorry, but assuming you bought & sold recently, your maths is just wrong. Ignoring fees, if you bought 50,000 shares @ £0.45, that would have cost you £22500.00. To make a profit on that of £26457.32, you'd have needed to sell the shares at 97.91p each. And they haven't been that high any time since dipping to their recent 45p level.

[thereptile] 27/6/2019 17:17

Perhaps you forgot that it cost 22,500 to buy and that needs deducting

If you made 26 k profit the price must have been up over 100% sf some point

Which it wasn't. But hey you made some money on iqe. Not many can say that ffs

[jamesrowe] 27/6/2019 17:13

I worked out how he did it.... he sold the 50,000 shares (bought at 0.45) at a price of 0.529 each. :-)

[tomduck] 27/6/2019 17:10

Another for the filter

[potential] 27/6/2019 16:59

Maths maybe not your strong point but don't worry all is good in the hood my old pal!

[spursspurs] 27/6/2019 16:48

you possibly made 8k on the deal !

[bukko] 27/6/2019 16:40

Perhaps his nose got longer?

[nakedjeff] 27/6/2019 16:26

I would definitely get out of bed for that, I still think you need to look at your Maths though

[potential] 27/6/2019 16:22

Wouldn't get out of bed for that pal!!

[potential] 27/6/2019 16:19

lol didn't sell them all at once dork!! Loving the enthusiasms though :-) peace out

[nakedjeff] 27/6/2019 16:15

Hi Tangler its been bothering me too, this is how he/she could have done it though 50,000 shares @£0.45 = £22,500. he/she then sold at £0.455 to make a cool £264.57, probably only had to wait a few seconds to do it too....:-)

[tangler66] 27/6/2019 16:06

Potential
I cant bend the maths to fit your figures!

[aphrodites] 27/6/2019 15:51

Well aren't you a clever little old Potential!

But not, as Regus will tell you, half as clever as me!!!!

[potential] 27/6/2019 15:16

Sold my 50k I bought at 45p and cashed my 26457.32p profit -good luck to all ...

[jimboyce] 27/6/2019 14:15

The fall doesn't seem to have altered the T Rowe Price stance as they have been accumulating on the dips. They are looking at the long term.Daily traders will take the risk and receive the rewards,or not, for short term trading. Good luck to both short term and long term holders.

"I am up 30% since sacking my manager pension fund in January." -End-

Was he a "Hong Kong Fund Manager" by any chance with an APHRO? Or a "King Kong Manager" from Kamberley?

[savvy investor] 27/6/2019 08:59

And there we go, my 30k top up at 45p last week and kow the share price exactly my average for the vast majority in the SIPP, with all the super amazing ARB I am up 30% since sacking my manager pension fund in January. Anyone that headed my tips on ARB will be pleased and if you do some fuel diligence will realise it could still be one of the most undervalued shares in London with huge cash, profitability and excruciatingly low forward PE....
