Retireby40….at this rate you might need to change your moniker to Retireby50 ;o)

Lol…pretty damp good Freudian slip ;0)

I think that might just allow me to break even!

Well after procrastinating for a long time and looking at some pretty sore paper losses, I’ve just put my head in the lions mouth and topped up in my ISA.

I have put a shedload of cash in here (big for me) and the last 12 months has been torturous. I do hope we have now seen the bottom of this cycle and we about to reap the rewards of the hard work and innovation shown by the DV team.

Fingers and toes crossed! GLA

Listened to it half a dozen times and heard Shell every time….it was too short word to hear ‘holders’ after the SH bit.

No offence Buzle…but I hope don’t see your 24p.
I have been here more than 22 years….my patience has been tested to its limits! :o(

Undoubtedly they are being squeezed, but surely there comes a point where they must go back to the negotiating table and plead their case….backed up by the miserable accounts that they can show to explain that if they want to remain in business there needs to be a fair price paid for their components.
Just think on how long and difficult it is to set up the machines and prove they have achieve the required quality for their clients. We are at the cutting edge of this technology and do not appear to be getting fairly rewarded for what we do.

I realise how cutthroat this business is but what we have been doing for the last 22 years is not working as far shareholders are concerned….mind you top management have become very rich with that strategy…so where is their incentive to make more money for the shareholders, hmmm.

I guess you deal with it the way all other manufacturers are doing by putting your prices up and making cost savings where possible.

Yes that’s the bit that gets me, leading supplier, biggest producer, world leading technology etc, etc. We do not seem to be able to capitalise on this seemingly strong position and never have.

Brutal!…..This share is a continual disappointment, I just wish one day it will turn the corner and start performing in the way we have all been hoping for.
I cannot believe I have held this share for 22 years in the forlorn hope that our ‘leading edge’ technology would begin to reap the rewards we have been led to believe that were possible.

Not sure why I am so peed off today watching yet another slump, I think it might be something to do with the first day of the new tax year and the hope this might be have been a springboard day instead of a quicksand day. :o(

This has turned into a real sh*t show of a share, what a disappointment :o(

Intel used to be very good at buying up the competition and enhancing their own position as a result. They had been linked to IQE many times in the past as a good fit, probably wishful thinking when we were seemingly on the cusp of a wave and being ramped as heading for the stratosphere.
I never wanted us to be taken out by anyone as i hoped our own generic growth would have made IQE a massive force to be reckoned with….and made all loyal shareholders a few bob on the journey.
I have been here since 1999 (for my sins) and have lost count of the multiple times we have failed to deliver on hopeful predictions. Sadly I am now beginning to think that a takeover might be the best outcome for long suffering shareholders.
I really do want us to be a success on our own merits and I hoped that some of the new leadership team might be able to deliver where the good doctor failed (while he made himself a very rich man as the rest of us watched our investment totally tank.

I hope we still one more throw of the dice left and it comes up trumps for us. GLA

Considering how far the shares price has fallen in the last few weeks/months a few reassuring words from the boss wouldn’t go amiss.
It is not unusual for a chief executive to make this sort of statement when a share price decreases by 20% or more….we have dropped a damn site more than that. :o(

Totally agree, I would have thought this would be one of the stock’s that would possibly benefit in these sad and dangerous times!

To the uneducated in these things…..what is it?

Steve17… I hope Gerry doesn’t take you up on the offer of your right leg….you will be hopping mad if they do not come up with a cure! ;o)

On a serious note your condition does sound very painful, I do hope any trials and research can come up with a cure or a workable solution to ease your suffering….what a great result that would be for everyone.

Yes i agree with you RTN, it’s a bit stinky in my opinion.

The directors decided to move the goalposts just to ensure they are well rewarded for doing their jobs….for which they already receive a salary.

What about the poor shareholders who have put their own salaries and savings into this company (many of us paying at least double the current share price) to purchase shares.

Who is going to move the goalposts for us to ensure we are fairly rewarded…answers on the back of a capital loss letter!

Looks like apathy has taken over today. I must admit I am surprised and disappointed at the way we have ended 2021 considering the optimism we all had in January.

The fact that the whole world is still being affected by the coronavirus pandemic and our potential solutions have not made the breakthrough we had long hoped for.

I thought we had quite literally missed the boat with our PD & BT offerings for both on land and the cruise industry. It looked like coronavirus was on the retreat….then omricon made an unwelcome appearance and we still do not appear to making any real headway in landing new contracts..

I am still optimistic for the future as feel we have some word class offerings and we just need the first big contract to be landed…..just as hopeful for 2022

GLA

I am so glad to see you posted a follow up note Gerry….because as soon as I saw the ‘funding’ word my heart sank :o(….only until I read the next post ;o)

Merry Christmas to you and yours….and everyone else’s

I was here when it was 4p many years ago….thank goodness I bought some then.
The shorting brigade are out in full force now! :o(
