Oh B*gg*r 21%gone still virtually no reaction in shares traded (thank goodnes)so far!

Is there any real interest in this share
looks like I picked another looser the rate I am loosing money I won't have cash left to back a winner.

douggie

join the club.im going bust

Join the club?I thought I started it! ;o\

Am I deluding myself thinking that there must be a promising future for this share, I am reluctant to sell at a loss, but don't want to hold a failing share

You must give the company a chance, read what is said in their report, next set of results will be very different..........I am buying now while they are cheap. A new contract will make all the difference.

Seems to me a 26% reduction in share price somewhat over reaction, trades as thin as ever little reaction here.........

of course I am biased now findig myself with a 55% paper loss

sagem
agreed

douggie
unless the money is really needed I wouldn't sell, this time last year the share price was 3p
It will rise again on the further good news, just as it has fallen on this ,as the market sees it bad news.

rampage thanks I won't sell at this price ... just wish I'd bought at 3p and experienced last years rocket ride rather than 6mth ago down to here, so often it seemed new rise was imminent..... wish I had cash to buy now!

Nice to know some poor punter able to take advantage of this 'temporary'lower price!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;o\

:o)

last year ajren forecast it as a huge loser.does anyone know what sharepicking
systym he/she/corporation uses ???

interesting comments last couple of months,very similar to those on the epo thread.funnily enough if you overlay the charts they are also very similar.not been following IDD but cant get away from 1st august last year,think i'll put myself in this week and punt on the same happening again!

alderleyedge

what do you think will happen again ? up or down for idd ? i cant see a spike just yet.results last august were much better than those of late.im expecting these to go to 3p near term

stepheng5
you could be right with 3p,cant see lower than 3.5 myself.think it will turn then and have a decent run(hoping so).
whatever happens 3-3.5 doesnt seem like a bad level to get in!

good mornin all...good to see IDD being marked up again but still very low vol. trades

Mornin anyone know why this share should be slipping away, apart from trader apathy?????????????????????

If its any comfort to anyone feeling a but alone here, there are others still holding including myself. I bought high last year and could have made a little bit, but hung on and of course this situation arose. I am still holding and take the view, that I've lost so very very much on this share, I may as well risk losing the little that is left. It's sod's law that if I clear them out, the price will lift. So, they will just sit there until, well, something!
