can someone explain - the assets of MRW are valued at 11,306Million and the number of share issued 2,418Million does that not give a share vale of £4.67 - now obviously debt has to be taken into account of any purchase of the company - so why is £2.70 a good price except for an asset stipper.
Is it my imagination - are the shorters looking at this now!
Good luck Mousey with the FCA - I sent them an email when Muddy Waters destroyed IQEs share price and hurt a great many private invstors - what did they do then? Nothing - just a little bit on a BBC radio 4 show about shorting! No teeth and no guts!! To the FCA anything that happens on AIM if fair game!!
Mick-B is correct - Muddy waters hit IQE at a time when it's shares were riding high and the shorters moved in and have held the shares of a good company down for thier own greed! It's not too late to sign a petition to have Parliament put a stop to this distructive activity especially with AIM companies
Anyone objecting to the practice of shorting should have signed the petition which I first saw on the IQE 'thread' soime time back - If I recall for the topic of shorting to be brought up in Parliament has to reach some magic number of signatures BEFORE September!!
Re Muddy Waters - I did write to the FCA about Muddy Waters when they hit IQE a while back - didn't even get a response - that says it all!!
I follow these 'chats' re IQE having invested here for the last 3 years - made some good trades however missed out on better trades!! Watching the buy/sell numbers and dates it looks like Coltrane borrowed more from T Rowe on the 24th and increased their short at around 68.45p - can this only be bad news as they must think this share has further to fall! someone guide me!!
T Rowe may be calling in their loaned shares however on the same day they increased their holdings Coltrane Asset Management, L.P. happened to have increased their short!! Please can someone who has much more knowledge of these things explain
I put this to FCA a number of months back when shadowfall started to put out news and then confirmed they were among the shorters - never even got a response!! At this level is it not time that the directors and non-execs started to buy shares - it can't be classed as insider dealing as the shorters have given them the chance to increase their holdings at the expense of the shorters - surely a show of confidence would give the shares a kick-start back to a SP level that this company deserves!
Intersting times - now a shorter who got caught short want's to sue because of false information!

I'm sure anyone hit by shorters on this share woould like to sue the likes of shadow?? and muddy??
For the likes of us private investors we're 2 days late seeing what the shorters are doing - at this low low price I would hope most would be getting out - HOWEVER - I'm sure many will be also buying now to make another profit on the up - captialism at its worst and best! You can't beat irony!!
There can't be many shares that have that many more buys than sells, good broker ratings and still the price falls - at least IQE has the 'dubious' honour of being in the top 5 shorters list - this must be a real mony spinner for those loaning out the some 83million shares and for those with deep pockets shorting here - was it Ocado back in May when the shorters were caught out? What hope another poor short call!!
