Apad, wow that's a lot of holding, mine is 16% in FEVR, 12% in KWS, 11% in FDEV, 10% GAW and 8% in BVXPHaving said, the only share I could put the house on is FEVR

'ticket transfer' and 'fear and intimidation' good grief, janeann, I see what you mean.
Can't see it being an influence on the share price.

Pete, FYI, I have sold most of my IQE, with the last bit today, I am holding around 2% to see how the future forecast look like, I don't mind paying more than I sold but with a bit more certainty.

[petersinthemarket] 31/8/2017 20:23

Interesting response A - as usual, I haven't the faintest idea what you are getting at, or even if it was meant to answer my mischievous query.

[janeann] 31/8/2017 20:18

apad - thanks again for your work with the competition. Some stunning performances, and I was pleased with mine!!

acso - been a holder for a long while and still think it is a good long term bet; the case relates to a rival company which didn't get business with a ski resort already using accesso siriusware. Its tedious to read and I lost the will to live within a few pages, but if you are in a darkened room with nothing else to do - then you might get further than I. hxxps://www.unitedstatescourts.org/federal/nyed/396511/1-0.html
Enjoy!!

Technology is the most certain."

Here's a question for the brave.
For IQE holders who have been in for any length of time, the 'gamble' has been very profitable so far.
Although i may be blasted by a few for this, some would affirm that much of the share price rise has largely been based on speculation and rumour. Dare I mention A....
The question is, with the share price at a high, and interims due next Tuesday 5th, should large holders sell for a lower buy back, or at least top slice, or just hang on in there for some amazingly progressive results?
I already know what I plan to do. I don't take advice from anyone, and I don't expect many responses to my query, but if any would like to take a run at it, it might be fun to reflect on it, come Tuesday.

Too early to say, I reckon, Panic.
I do like the notion of Nasty Gal having a cachet in the UK. Hopefully.

However, what I meant about the weather was whether I would spend the day in the sun, weeding, or on the computer :-)

May also depend on what's going on over the water

[apad] 31/8/2017 17:50

BOO is wobbling on the podium. Might increase tomorrow.
Depends on the weather.

Can't find the acso court case, janeann. Do you have a reference?

I wasn't impressed with the last acquisition, but it doesn't seem to warrant the fall, and didn't seem to damage the main thrust of the company.

Is it still a commitment hold for you?

[handykart] 31/8/2017 17:46

Ok, no probs.

PRES is a great little Sheffield company.

ffx - 15% of what I asked for plus the basic shares - which fits with the 85% oversubscription.

MCGN - acquisition this morning -

Competition - I may soon have one in the red of acso continues in the current direction - disappointed at its weakness at present. Court case in the US may be having some impact

[glaws2] 31/8/2017 13:22

FFX - I got about 16% of the amount I applied for (over and above the entitlement).

[apad] 31/8/2017 13:16

Only 4 entries in the competition without an entry in the red.

Jobs in Dorset quite difficult, Panic.
I know both areas very well indeed!

IQE 5th Sept. will be most interesting.
I like their technology but I don't know why it's special.
I remain sceptical about the new areas - lasers etc.

Big7ime - Thought you were a fan of sweenoid? Never been in IQE but watching with interest.

My days, when possible, are now spent looking at progress at HOC and SDX my two largest holdings. Frustrating at the moment too! I don't need to watch BVXP as that hopefully will just take care of itself and keep going. Must be news there soon!

[panic investor] 31/8/2017 12:24

You ever been to the West Midlands - compare it to Dorset - you'd probably shoot yourself Having said that I tend to agree apad

"Trakm8, the AIM quoted telematics and data provider to the global market place, announces that James Hedges, Finance Director, has stepped down from the Board effective 31 August 2017 having served on the Board for over eight years. His resignation is as a result of the move of the Group's finance team from the Dorset site to the Group's West Midlands site, which is expected to be completed by mid-September 2017."

Yeah right!
