Sadly a lack of techie expertise here to answer this question :o(

Interesting announcement from Intel pushing back production of 7nm wafers due to difficulties in actually producing them.

Have IQE mastered this technique yet? What an opportunity!

Did anyone watch it? Was it any good?
You cannot watch it on catchup :o(

Cannot read beyond the first page....it keeps reloading.....shame.

Seems like a good entry point to bring my average down....fingers crossed.

JAdam....love your optimism but if you are going to start working up oil production numbers and adding a value, try to be a bit more realistic in respect of production rates.
There is not a company out there who will manage uninterrupted production 365 days a year especially if there is only one processing plant.
There will be all sorts of interruptions whether it be planned maintenance or breakdowns of any sort.
Keep up the good work.

I love the football analogy!
I think Microtox and Microtrace would be Ronaldo and Mesi.....and the manager (GJB) would be Alex Ferguson!

Back of the net.....championies!

Why are you so negative today Cammy?

I think anyone getting in just now anything below .5p should be in a good place. We are now funded to get the trials going and begin to receive some actual revenue.
I have just put my money where my mouth is and taken another bite at .48p for the first time in a long time I actually feel more confident for the future of TOM.
I have had time to read about the MARS fuels and it seems very compelling, they are in a good sector of the market and can save the big shipping companies a lot of money by using their synthetic fuel oil, which is also better for the environment.

Just curious.....my ipad locked up when I clicked through to the Daily Mail article and wasn't really able to scroll the page.
I find this issue frequently with newspaper websites, is this a common thing with others or is my iPad just tired out?

Oh Kai.....that was a bit brutal...twist the knife why don't you :o(
Poor KISSIMEE is already suffering enough.

Looks like my decision to average down (again) last week was the right one....for a wee change.
Nice to everyone 'sounding' a bit more upbeat for now. ;o)

Vauch, Netcentric were originally floated at 25p as an Internet services provider.
I, for my sins have been getting tortured by them ever since . :0(

Me too.....been here since Netcentric.....trying to remember what they were before that or was that the original name. There have been so many twists and turns and name changes.

Anything that helps the company to be at the forefront of technology and remain an industry leader has to be good.
I agree with Dibs....what a strange question....unless you are a shorter.

After taking my first bite at 33p and my second at 18p, I have caved in and taken what will be my final and hopefully 3rd time lucky bite at 1.2p

I feel there is still a bit of hope for the future the way things are looking and at this price I have now tripled my holding for not huge outlay.

Is this going to have much affect on IQE?

Apple has confirmed it will transition its Mac laptop and desktop computers to its own ARM-based processors.
The move means that Macs will run on the same type of chips as the firm's iPhones and iPads, rather than Intel's.
Intel had faced problems manufacturing its own designs, leading it to issue a public apology to computer-makers.
Apple's challenge will be to carry off the transition smoothly and convince third-party developers to update their apps accordingly.
"We expect to ship our first Mac with Apple silicon by the end of the year," said chief executive Tim Cook, adding that it would likely be two years before its full product line had made the jump.
The firm said the move would allow it to offer new features and improved performance as well as making it easier for developers to "write and optimise software for the entire Apple ecosystem".
"Apple's motivations for doing this include reducing its dependence on Intel, maximizing its silicon investment, boosting performance and giving itself more flexibility and agility when it comes to future products," commented Geoff Blaber from the consultancy CCS Insight.
"Embracing ARM and making its hardware more consistent across the iPhone, iPad and Mac ranges is a strategic necessity, but there will be inevitable bumps along the road."

Well here they come.....the pumpers, the dumpers, the ducker's, the divers, the chancers and the down right liars!

Our normally quiet wee board has been taken over a bit like a well known virus that has overrun our lives.

I am very happy for the genuine long term holders here who have been badly burned by Tomco, I hope this current debacle gives us a chance to reduce our losses and dare I say it....move into profit and not be ripped off by the 'experts' who have just descended upon us spouting their own agendas.

Strap in and hopefully this will end well for the long suffering holders. Good luck all.

Well that has worked out nicely for me....who would have thought it!
I was pretty annoyed the other day after I topped up at 0.47 and the stock was suspended same day.
The future is beginning to look rosy again and if a few shorters get roasted along the way, i for one will be even happier ;o)

I have a notice on my TOMCO part of my Barclays ISA saying this no no longer qualifies to be held on ISA.
When I click on the notice, nothing happens.....it just takes me back to my. ISA page.
I topped up first thing this morning based on the RNS as I was happy that our future looked to be secure after thus deal was announced. I wasn't chuffed about the dilution but figured it was probably the best way to make proper progress and actually begin to produce some oil from this field......Now i am totally confused as to where we are right now and what the hell is happening!
