IQE is still a pioneering world force in future tech innovations. Looks like shorters having major influence on. . facebook and twitter (we all know how that feels) Hopefully IQE can buck this trend and hold steady or even go up alittle in the morning . Fingers and everything else crosed
I don't think Dr Nelson can be anymore bullish than in one of his latest statements he did say the 20th March results would hopefully put the shorters to bed. (Not sure of exact quote but it was something like that) It is a bit strange the low volumes this week . Fingers crossed and ready to peep through fingers at my screen next Tuesday . GLA
Very disappointed in you JC, LOL My timing was awful during the roller coaster but am a little in profit now. I am going to stay in but can certainly see your way may be profitable too . At the end of the day this company will have a considerably higher price than today in 3 years time when I can sell and put my feet up .
So if Marshall Wace still have around 3.5% and Coltrane 2.5% and obviously others with smaller numbers does every penny rise cost them a lot of money or do I not know what I am talking about ( I don't) Can someone explain in easy terminology
Gone through The Times with a fine toothcomb and cant find any mention about a very successful Britisn company posting some very encouraging news this week as well as share price going up by 20% in a week. Hopefully all the journalists who were led by their shorting mates are choking on humble pie. One of favourite terms on bb is DYOR , perhaps they should have read these very wise words.
Depends when Marshall Wace decide they have made enough out of IQE and get involved with another company. I would love to know what their exact position was . i.e. if this goes to 120 are they still in profit or losing money, if so how much ?
I wonder if they are doing , just not saying ? Misleading is not really strong enough wording . Wonder what difference going with KPMG rather than PWC . Hopefully only coincidence that KPMG were auditors to Carillion .
Do people really think T.Rowe Price (approx. �100 million invested) Oppenheimer and Shroders (approx. �35-�40 million each) plus other institutions who invested �100 million in the rights issue in November would not have done due diligence on the company. These shorters and rumour mongers remind me of horse tipping lines .
Thank you Nohearts , I did not realise Directors had taken large chunks last summer when they must have had an idea figures were not looking great. The Funeral business is built on loyalty and repeat business, i.e.once a family has had a funeral with a particular Funeral Director they tend to stick with them . When Diginity increased prices and seemed to cease with the personal touch of the businesses they had bought numbers were always going to go down. It is going to be very hard to get customers back and just by slashing prices is not the answer in this business.
McCollum said: �The funeral business is completely unregulated � anyone can be a funeral director. From an industry point of view the costs are fixed. �Our staff need to be on call 24 hours a day and as deaths decline the cost per funeral has gone up, which has subsequently led to an increase in funeral prices.� The severe share price reaction reflected analysts� predictions that the company�s profits would almost halve to �41.2m in 2018. Dignity shares closed down 49% at 975p; in 2016 they were changing hands for �28.71. THIS ARTICLE TAKEN FROM THE GUARDIAN 19TH JANUARY . Have a read if you don't believe me !
Sorry bit dyslexic , thought profit warning was down to �21.4 million next twelve months , actually �41.2 million . Apologies , still not great reading though !
Spot on , they takeover Joe Bloggs put prices u, tell them to stop dealing with local suppliers as they have deals with national companies totally lose concept of local loyalty. �700 million of debt making �20 million profit . Does not look good .
