Member Info for Scampthedog

blah, blah, blah, drawl, blah.........so on and so forth. Yawwnnnnnn!!!

Dear London South East. Concerning a certain Mister Scampthedog. I wish to express my disgust at his unacceptable and loutish behaviour.....

Not much chance with FELINE FANNY then...er, I mean FAN.

Says it all really, Redceo. You can't even mount an old nag without upsetting it...a horse I mean. Typical.

Given a few.

Kicked in the head huh? Explains everything.

Glad I have managed to exercise a good deal of restraint here regarding these shares over the last several weeks. Will average down considerably more in a week or two when the s.p finally bottoms out at 3p...or less even.

Hhmm, apparently not. I have to confess ...I do rather find him somewhat intriguing. Astute business man -- or desperate gambler? Or perhaps just looking to make a quick £100000...a trader of sorts? Won't take long for an answer.

Nicholas Audley Money-Kyrle? Is this somekind of p!sstake?

Does not look like much of a hero at present moment, RobinHood69. This company now has six months to survive...this is the final throw of the dice. They either have a scaled up product that will generate sizable revenue...or they don't. If it is a case of "they don't"...then, regrettably, for long term, and still holding I might add, shareholders like me...it will be goodbye to my investment. It is now a straight win or lose punt: just a two horse race. No more posturing, no more blagging, no more promising -- time to deliver!!

200.00 are you sure, wolvesy? I thought it was only £100.00 last year. My goodness -- this is good news!!

One thing to remember about wolvsey: he has long ago declared his intention to carry on working throughout any national CWU strike. All I can say regarding that declaration is -- good luck!

That is not strictly true either. There are many reasons that the agreement you mentioned between the CWU and RMG is not worth a toss. Like for instance -- the CWU might have already been on strike!

I concede there is only a slim chance that the injunction might get overturned after the appeal, but, if it does...why surprised? It is my own contention that Mr Justice Swift made, what is commonly known as, "an error of law" when he gave his ruling. If I recall, during his summing up, he said that one of the considerations that had helped sway his decision was the fact that the Royal mail had a lawful obligation to deliver the voting papers for a general election. What he failed to recognize was not only did the CWU organize its ballot long before anyone ever mentioned a general election but also the fact that the legal obligation lies with RMG...not the CWU. If RMG does not have an available, at the required time, workforce to deliver any general election material...then it would have to recruit one. The obligation has nothing whatsoever to do with the CWU - period!

When IQE was in its infancy some dignitary from the local area that represented developing businesses said, in reference to IQE, "we are punching well above our weight here". What he was inferring, perhaps, was that IQE was attempting to force its way into established markets...aided by large grants which enabled it to put the required infrastructure into place in a very short time, all it needed were the orders to follow on. Just because the money had been found to clear the bar, set very high in this industry regarding start up costs, did not necessarily mean orders would come flooding in; this is a highly competitive landscape and there are other established players out there all taking a big bite out of it. The comment I quote just about sums it all up perfectly for me. Whoever made that comment really did make a most profound comment. Were they aware at the time what they were really saying? Who knows? But boy -- were they right!!

Well, Ajok, I still think this could be a viable business...but Drew Nelson must surely go -- and go quick! One of the main problems with IQE is how it is perceived...not just by speculators and shorters but by investors and analysts alike. Too much misrepresented information and vague promises that are not in any way underpinned by good basic fundamentals...in other words: "pie-in-the-sky". If the company does come through, and I cannot see why not at the present moment in time, then what we need is a good solid base from which to rebuild on. If that happens to be, say, 33 pence - then so be it! As for gauging the bottom? Lets be honest...how many of us successfully do that? Rather, wait till it starts to rise on the back of something positive; I would rather buy more shares over several months as it rises progressively than buy a whole load of shares at some perceived bottoming out...then watch forlornly as they crash yet again. IQE can rebuild...but what we need is time. Time...and someone forthright and cautious stood at the helm -- not Drew Nelson!!

Sooo...let us see what we have got here then.

The company, unable to find any lenders stupid enough to lend then large amounts of money, coupled with the fact they could not afford to meet the added interest payments anyways, have decided to go down the fund raising route...yet again I should mention.
But for what reason? Well, there can only be two reasons really...can there not?

1. A last futile attempt to keep the lights burning...at our expense of course.
Or.
2. They need the money to ramp-up production for one of their products that is generating sizable new orders.

Let us fervently hope it is the latter. Because if this company is stringing us all along once more...then we are all well and truly - F@(ked!!

P.s Don't be surprised to see this s.p rise above 2.25 pence in the coming days. One other thing: if it does...don't be surprised to see it crash right after the shares have been issued -- ouch!!!

Welcome to the train crash that is IQE, Majorboy...don't say that people on here did'nt warn you. As for the s.p? We all better get used to the idea of 30 something pence...and that is more than likely coming in the next day or two. Could be a lot worse if some of the biggest investors start dumping really huge chunks. As for Drew Nelson and the board? A couple of days ago I said they should all go...and I have'nt changed my mind on that any. Would not fancy sitting up on that stage and staring out at all those stony-faced investors at the next AGM. No Sir -- I would not!!

Hhmmm...nowww then. What is the one word I am desperately groping for here? Ahhh yes -- F@(ked!!!

As per usual, Gotrader, you are absolutely spot on with your remarks. And as for Deutsche Bank...long also have I stated, on this board, that 50 pence would be a good solid base for the s.p to build on. I for one am quite content for the price to drop through the floor -- as indeed it has done! And why not? Not only does it help clear the decks of the present shorters, but, also, as well, gives the opportunity to increase your holding. Let us hope when/if this share price does start to slowly recover in the short future it is on the back of good solid fundamentals fueled by progressively larger orders...not "pie-in-the-sky". As for the present board? They should go -- every man-jack-tar of em!
