If I were a shorter I would be getting more worried. Another day of really low volumes - a steady rise in price over the last three days -a sensitive share price ready to move against you if you want to buy volume - a shareholder base of angry private investors who are ready and able to put their hands in their pockets and keep hold of their shares - lastly and not leastly a company at the cutting edge of the compound semiconductor industry which is literally transforming our world at the moment and further selling loads of stuff and expanding. Don�t sell your shares to these shorters let them shake. Iqe will be issuing forecasts when the results are issued mid March. That is when the shorters will want to have sold all their shares, so the pressure is mounting

Don�t sell

They shorted because they think they can make money - maybe there are too many shorters and the share has been manipulated too much - I think there is a danger this will squeeze up when they sell. The dossiers were all historic and irrelevant/ immaterial . We will see

Let�s say 10% of shares are shorted in U.K. and another 10% not disclosed are shorted in US and this doesn�t unclude short positions less than .5%. That is 20% need to be bought back - that is almost 200 Million shares to be bought back. Now maybe this is why there is so much misinformation and scaremongering going on because they need our shares to close their position. Interesting times - if shareholders hang on then the share price will rocket. If I was short of shares I would be desperate to buy and it would be in my interest to write a damning report - call it something sexy - involve the media (who bite at anything it seems) and then watch the price fall and then buy on the cheap. But with so much shorted and a shareholder base who believe in IQE and it�s prospects I think and hope these hedge funds/ shorters will find it hard to buy them back cheaply.

An audit practice with professional credentials to defend or a hedge fund/shorter who has bet against the share price of a company and wants the shares to go down. Two reports in front of you - audited accounts or the muddy water document. Take your pick.

The FTSE had a dip at the same time - I think the market makers took their eye off the ball and the dip triggered stop losses which pulled the price down further. Lots of vested interest to pull price down

Filled up at 95 - I think they are giving money away.

Is he hiding behind the large 70p sign - still waiting or did he climb aboard.

Struggling for shares to sell. Feel the pressure building

In first 3 mins of trading I think that is good news for us as all the increase in revenue was from 3d - further they a very very bullish about future

Unless you have to - let the shorters sweat and hopefully loose. I’m sitting on my hands until at least 1.3.

For the shorter to unwind their position don’t they have to buyback shares to give them back to the share lenders. Unusual no trades for last half hour and bid and offer same price. I think spike photo might be correct and the market makers don’t have enough shares to sell. Most trades today were buys. I feel pressure might be building for the price to increase to more normal levels to flush out some sells

Bid is lower than offer - anyone understand what this means?

Presumably bargain pickers or shorters buying back to give back - why is the share price down - where are the shares coming from - do the market makers hold a large inventory?

I reckon. Their secret dodgy dossier has been addressed and exposed. The initial drop today will have flushed out stop losses set in the 90’s so some will have got a bargain. But now the only way is up and those shorters will want to buy back to give back the shares they have borrowed. The balance has now changed and there is a possibility of a short squeeze. Well done Iqe.

Fake news

Large after hours trades and seem to be buys. Strange day - look forward to Monday when hopefully I won’t be given another buy opportunity. Portfolio a bit heavy in IQE now. Nice to see Luca having to eat his words again

Chesh the trade data can lag when volume is high but the level2 order book should be up to date . Mine is ok. I need to go and find another kitchen sink to throw at this. It looks good value
