Is anyone else in ZOO? I'm in at 11p average and have conviction that over the next year it will get re-rated. Hold quite a lot of shares. Be good to hear from anyone else on it.

Heavily indebted is the nature of the business. Hard assets being dug up, imported or mixed and sold.
I do not expect a dividend for some time yet.
I traded a few to generate a 'dividend' a while ago.

Posted on the IQE board.

adventurous,
I am a materials scientist.
I understand what the company does and I am impressed with the CEO's 1988(?) venture.
I have also seen many an innovative materials company fail.
I have a rule not to invest in anything with nano or graphene in the company name.
My references are old and my concern is what has happened since then.
So, whilst I can see that IQE has a large part of a small market, the question I ask is "If the market becomes significant what is to stop a giant walking all over them?"
Patent protection, by the way, is a myth. A patent that has not been proved in court is worthless and IQE cannot afford to challenge a gorilla without going bust.
I am more impressed with the difficulty and skill of doing some of these processes.
I am new to this company and interested to learn.
Thanks,
apad

Looks like some patient investors might yet get a better IQE share price by waiting. share price seems to have fallen thro the earlier 107.5 floor. It had to fall from that amazing peak of course, the only Q was by how much. I wonder if it could even go back close to the previous lower support rising trend line. If it goes below 100 I will defo be a buyer again. pete

Watched the IQE presentation. Pretty good for a finance man with a funny haircut.

What about major competitors?
"Establishment of Compound Semiconductor Materials Manufacturing and Sales Company in China (February 10, 2011)

Thank you Apad re: IQE.

You should have stuck with IGG. I should have bought them too. I dithered over IGG and IQE and now look! Must stop dithering!

Have to admit, I sold a few IQE at the peak earlier today with the intention of buying back in a few days when/if this exuberant blip dies down (it had been 9.2% of my current pf). Might not work out as chart suggests a floor being formed around 107.5 atm. Real share price gain will be over the next 2yrs imo but not sure if my patience will allow me to stick with it for that long. Time will tell. GL, pete

Apad, In the short term the main growth driver is photonics which could soon overtake wireless as the main revenue earner. It is a Much higher margin business. The demand for VCELS Is going to be huge started by Apple and follow by the other major smartphone companies. AR( augmented reality ) is the new key area for Apple , they are spending a fortune in being number one in that arena- all to our advantage, everyone else will follow.the wonderful thing is that VCSELS have So many growth area opportunities-witness the next iPhone and new ranges of cars that will be jam-packed with them. IQE is innovator and clear leader, way ahead of the curve. They supply likes of Skyworks, Quorvo, Lumentum who have contracts with likes of Apple

Then the power switching mkt, that's another story which I believe could be even Bigger! They have many strings to their bow, it almost beggars belief. Dyor, that could take weeks with this co. the tintins aren't even close to understanding the potential with IQE. My only worry is that a US giant will take it out before it has the chance to see all the rewards its long term investors with many multiples of their investment.

Had a quick first look.
Like the Board's background.
Decent number of vacancies.
Particularly like the derogatory remark about graphene.
Like that all of their sectors are performing.
Have to take it on trust that their 6in wafer lead is for real.

Makes it worth looking at their cash flow position.

Sensible Apad. Nah! Must be someone else ;-)

Tempted by IQE myself. Watched it and never bought. Should have done so. Now perhaps wait for a BTFD opportunity but may not come a long for a while.

Interesting, Big. I'll look again, but I may well be too late.

Nice to get divis from RWS and PTSG today.

Looks like the tintins got back to the office after the HLMA agm :-)

Post 3386 worth a read on IQE thread, he won't mind me reproducing it, here's an excerpt:

"As for the VCSEL market where the IMS confirmed MULTIPLE, MULTI-YEAR contract wins, we simply have the best technology, 18 months at least in front of competitors, the barrier to entry for competitors even when they are at last able to offer 6inch wafers ( IQE are the only company that can do this) will be very very high. 6 inch wafers offer huge advantage in terms of production and efficiency and performance. Finisair are likely the next with a 6 inch wafer but they won't be able to produce enough volume for 6-12 months at least ( read their reports-I do) by that time they have to go through validation and evaluation ( takes months and months), serious competition is coming but in investment terms it's light years away.IQE OWN 80 % of the outsource VCSEL market, I would guess they will supply significant volume even into vertical suppliers- they simply have NOT got the capacity to produce the volumes of VCSEL wafers that will be needed, we are going from literally zero to huge volumes here- overnight, with its Capex spend on increased VCSEL reactors in 2016 , IQE positioned itself sweetly to beat the opposition in 2017-2018 , hence their multi year, multi company wins, AND in a demand run business with limited supply, Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations is still apposite ( sorry, I AM a historian these days) . IQE as niche and pivotal player will be setting the price that others simply have to pay to get in the game-it's a simple law of economics and supply/demand."

Thanks for the IC comment on RDSB. I hold a few for trading. I am looking for the exit point and a nice turn.

SSE
We are singing from the same hymn sheet.
I hold but will exit the sector at some point. The areas in which I am looking to invest are diminishing by the day.

It looks like I will become a short term stock picker, just looking for a trade.

IC on RDSB:
"We are also less convinced that Shell carries the
definitive hallmarks of a long-term income stock.
This remains the age of fossil fuels, and the forecasts
for global gas demand growth in particular suggest
the acquisition of the natural gas-focused BG was
a canny one. But the long-term future of profitable
oil production, and the way markets value oil producers,
looks less certain now than in any decade
in Shell’s history. Fortunately for investors, Shell’s
integrated business model means it should make
money from downstream refining and marketing
operations come what may. In the short term, the
cash flows should be enough. But Shell has limits
to its growth, which may place a limit on its ability
to substantially grow the dividend over the next
decade. For now, though, still an income buy (Last
IC view: Buy, 2,163p, 9 March 2017)."

It is always difficult to assess the value of a smaller cap growth stock by taking a snapshot in time. What is a value high, or a hope high?
I trust the management in Ltg and Rws to grow the respective businesses by acquisition and organically. (They have a link).
An acquisition can impact significantly by creating a short term spike or dip, and any capital issue to fund such deals is a big factor in that valuation. The tintins scribble their tomes and shares duly react.
I intend to ignore any such noise and hold until the story changes in a direction that I consider inappropriate.

Timing relative to a specific share vs general market sentiment could have a big impact on our choices for the competition.
I selected a defensive portfolio, containing Gnk and Clln. What a biga mistaka ta makea.

I'm surprised you haven't been kicked off the puppy board, L :-) Far too sensible.

I'm considering watching BREE for daughter's ISAs, no rush.
Thanks red/Linhur.

SSE, red.
I don't think that .gov could have designed a more inefficient energy system if it had tried. Energy companies have benefitted hugely from crackpot subsidies. As the prices rise .gov will panic and, using the regulator, will put huge pressure on the supply companies which will reduce their profits, hence divis, and big energy users will put pressure on .gov.

No HLMA rns associated with the agm (there was last year).

I couldn't see what was special about LTG. Well done those who could.

they are - I first bought at 25p - built a decent holding. Nearly used it for the competition but had already reached new highs by then!
