Seems to have closed in US with only a 5.6% rise in spite of a volume 325.7% times the average.

I can find no news since the announcement of the completion of the Fab Lab, not on Tracy Island (Thanks Jumpin) but at Caswell (UK) on 11th September.

However there is a lot of work going on in Canada & the US to improve & install high speed telecomms systems. Bookham's Nortel subsidiary should be in a prime position to win some of the contracts.

Ther are links to some of this work in my post on the BVC thread.

volumes were very good 2 days back, hence me jumping in when I did...

DYOR as always, hopefully this one will pay off..

And a good day here too :)

And another good day here, after reading your post Jules decided to buy in on an impulse,must be our lucky day.

Hi Jules,

Don't expect this stock to double atm. Fwiw, I calculate intrinsic value circa 175p. They have a good business model and good management. So, certainly not one to ignore in my book.

Too tempting so sold out today at 1.34..kept a few for long term...not bad turnaround...

Gone into Kingston com. for second round...

Falling for few days. Hopefully 1.30 could be the next base!!

I've read an article a few weeks ago stating that the support level could be aroung 90p. I should have sold out a while ago when it was at 1.70.

Good luck all

big drop from 180 to here 133p could see a strong rally from here,i;m in for 1500 shares stop loss 125p tgt 180 good risk reward play for me,

Just look at this chart! its a classic imho sitting on its 200day may waiting for take off,

got that wrong :o( do we wait for a rebound or cut losses?

I think you should wait for a rebound. I just join in at 115

so when is the rebound going to happen?

Tomorrow

Intraday auction just now cos very little on the ask

i'm still waiting for the rebound!!!!

i think 100p would be a fair price for Bookham

Bookham is now 85p - fallen far beyond the 100p support which I've thought. I think there will be bad news in its first quarter figures announced next week on the 5th of May,2004. Profits will be down as expected as sales is meandering. Its price has fallen from 180p in mid January.

Think it is to do with the problem at Nortel last week

I think I may add another short to this next week after monday opening.

BHM isn't going down on Monday.

:) But Tuesday is a possibility . . .

ooppps - lost a day, but with my luck probably got more chance going my way on monday, still i will give it a go on Tuesday just in case

Hope I got in @ the bottom this am @ 52.5 x 9500, anyone else?

Don't think it is at the bottom yet
