Ticking up nicely. Very good long-term prospects both in India and elsewhere.

Still falling.Hmmm!!

Down another 4.6% as I write this, a little below the Cenkos forecast. I agree that it should be near the bottom now so possibly attractive on a long-term view?

Liberum downgrades Asian Citrus from its previous generous 20p to a measly 11p. And I thought things could only get better!

Nice write-up of Imagination in last Friday's Investors Chronicle. One analyst thinks it has much better prospects than ARM. Let's hope he is right!

Speculative buy according to this week's Investors Chronicle. Bad luck with typhoons has played havoc with the share price as they have lost bananas and oranges. Better luck this year then.

Absolutely extraordinary scenes outside the Apple store. Look at the pictures in this report from the Daily Mail and find out how the Apple brand can motivate people to part with their hard-earned cash -- magic or what? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2761650/It-s-just-PHONE-right-After-camping-days-queuing-blocks-fighting-fellow-Apple-fans-iPhone-6-arrived-Australia.html

So big thumbs up from the UK 'broadsheets' for the new iphone but great enthusiasm from The Mirror, too http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technology-science/technology/iphone-6-top-5-reasons-4276217

The new phone gets 5 * from The Guardian's technology correspondent Charles Arthur http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/sep/17/apple-iphone-6-thinner-faster-slightly-cheaper-review

Nice write-up in this week's Shares mag. Greenko is a big favourite of L&G apparently. Not surprising as the demand for power in India is enormous. OPG is tipped too.

Both have an interest in renewable 'green' energy according to this report today in The Independent http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/narendra-modi-and-nick-clegg-have-more-in-common-than-you-might-think-9692292.html

You see ever since they appointed the Tory Kate Rock the share price has ticked upwards. Would it happen if she was a Lib Dem? Of course. In fact it would be 2x the increase.Cultural capital matters!

Not just a woman but one well-connected to the upper echelons of the Conservative Party. Her husband is a good mate of George 'Curtains' Osborne.

Good appointment. Kate Rock will provide ballast for the good ship Imagination Technologies.

Nice piece in yesterday's Times about Arm. The article flagged up the imminent changes in consumer technologies. I suppose the big question for IMG investors such as me is whether the company (like Arm) will catch the new wave in production. My guess, for what it is worth, is that it will partly because I find it difficult to believe that only a few companies like Intel or Arm will dominate the marketplace. But as always in fast-changing categories my fingers are firmly crossed!

Tipped in this week's Shares mag, especially because of new management and considerable assets. Falling today but will go higher I'm sure -- though how much is anyone's guess.

Crikey, it's finally moving up!

Yes Shares Magazine is a long-term fan but so far the 'buy' recommendations have not paid off. But the growth of middle-class Chinese keen to guzzle prodigious amounts of orange juice reamins compelling

After ages in the doldrums this looks as if it will be a nice little earner. Glad I bought some more yesterday.
