86KB - makes perfect sense.

That'll be why LSE is currently showing: Share Price: 10.05 Bid: 10.05 Ask: 10.80 Change: -1.00 (-9.05%).

And before Oldsharedog asks, my account's been hacked. Those posts appearing under my name are from an impostor.

It's all fake noooooooooos.

But good luck down the bookies, trying to convince them otherwise.

Bonneville - unlikely you'd find a third party willing to help draw up a patent for "an illness that does not exist".

That'd just be a huge waste of everyone's time & money.

OTM - "What’s the rationale and thought process on the blue day GG?"

SCENARIO 1:

Goldgirl's a scientist, don't you know. So her every post is carefully analysed & fact-checked for 100% accuracy.

SCENARIO 2:

Goldgirl's a teenage keyboard warrior, making it up as she goes along.

Cheapsharesboy - Directors wouldn't have opted for salary-sacrifice shares if they thought that was remotely likely.

"Speaks volumes don't you think" - No!

Whilst highlighting the company's problems in recent years, I don't see the share price graph indicating "tomorrow could be the end of the line".

As I said before, daft comment.

KCE - I think you’ll find it’s YOU who lost the plot, when you said “tomorrow could be the end of the line”.

KCE32 - whatever happens tomorrow, it's NOT repeat NOT going to be the end of the line.

What a daft comment.

BillfromBristol - you clearly haven’t checked the figures AT ALL.

Otherwise you’d know what you just wrote was total garbage.

Gheko - yes. Tek is a textbook example of how not to be an incubator.

The whole idea should be to put the early finance in to get your holdings to IPO stage, then kick them out the nest, at which point recoup at least your original outlay (preferably and some), then see how they fare on their own two feet.

Instead of which, Tek has either failed to let go at all or left it way too late, been heavily diluted as a result and ended up with the square root of diddly squat.

Gheko - my thoughts exactly!

This board’s become almost unreadable now.

Filled with random closing price guesses and pointless chartist nonsense.

I’ll just tune out until we get some sort of official deal update (assuming it ever comes).

Cheapsharesboy - yes, I’m surprised too.

Maybe there’s scepticism of a deal. Or maybe there’s a suspicion any deal will be for peanuts.

Either way, I think there could be a decent rebound from current lows before the year’s out. But I wouldn’t bet the house in it. Nor will I be adding, as IQE has an uncanny knack of missing even the lowest expectations.

Why do I get the feeling that “tech prosperity deal” will make zero difference to IQE?

Kaeren - he's hardly likely to delay getting PSA on site & production started just to help out some random II.

Kaeren - I very much doubt Bo would delay release of potentially market-sensitive news (e.g. PSA unit being on site) just to keep the SP down whilst an II was accumulating.

That could easily be construed as market manipulation which just happens to be illegal.

Elonmusky99 - little green box time for you I'm afraid.

On 3 December 2024 you wrote "I've bought Opti at 12p and sold for £1.50 so I know what success looks like in a share".

Care to tell us the exact dates you bought for 12p then sold for £1.50 afterwards? On second thoughts, don't bother as I've got you on filter now anyway.

You also came out with this classic about SBTX on the same date: "this will be circa £1.50 within 12 months".

With less than three months to go and SBTX currently languishing below 17p, it's gonna have to go some to hit that target.

Basically I've concluded you're just a random number generator whose words merit even less attention than your namesake across the pond, Quite some achievement, that.

Bye bye Elonmusky99. Bye bye. I'd suggest others do the same.

Jimbo - in which case, why bother with another interview at all, particularly when it merely repeated what we already knew?

If you're knackered or up to your eyeballs with potential suitors, surely you'd have bigger priorities than chatting to some himbo who's just spent hours trying to match his latest stripey shirt to the backdrop.

Scrodingerscat - I agree no-one can interpret another's body language with any great certainty.

But Tim did look uncharacteristically miserable in that latest interview & barely cracked a smile.

Yes, the message was positive & much the same as previously (which begs the question why do it at all?) But Tim really did look different.

As for the interviewer, he looked more like some vacuous Good Morning Britain presenter to me than a serious financial journo.

Compare & contrast Tim's latest interview with his previous ones & you'll soon notice the difference. Albeit, could be totally unrelated to IMM's potential prospects still.

FriedmanSowell - yes, it's certainly hard to remain a believer here after all we've been through.

Right now, my holding (just under £40k) is heavily underwater. Mainly because I thought SOH's guidance between 2017 & 2019 wouldn't be too far off the mark.

How wrong can you be! But I've continued to hold because I still see Sweetbiotix as a potential gamechanger and I do think it'll eventually be launched. The discovery of a new enzyme that can generat multiple SweetBiotix products with much higher yields (so lower manufacturing costs) is positive. Yes, we may find this delays Sweet's launch further, but if you're willing to wait, the eventual rewards could well be far greater now as a result.

Also, I see positive signs with Slimbiome now, as Opti has secured some serious partners within the last year or so and they finally appear to be having an impact. Amazon, too, has the potential to grow Opti's sales rapidly - particularly if they roll out to new markets & exploit its Subscribe & Save model. Before Opti hooked up with Amazon, I posted many times that they should be listing there and am glad they finally saw the light!

To sum up, I remain a disappointed but reasonably confident long term holder still. In fact, I'm tempted to add around current levels and may well if there's further slippage. But I've been burnt a few times with Aim shares in the past. So if the SP stabilises around current levels, I'll probably just hold what I've got & see what happens.

Good luck.
