Recommended as a sell and maybe buy back in the autumn in Shares Magazine. Seems to be going up nicely on fairly large volumes ahead of interims on Wednesday (18.8.04). Does anybody know much about this company??

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SELLERS OUT THERE TODAY SUE HELEN

RNS Scottish Widows Investment Partnership LTD on behalf of Loyds TSB are interested in 24,020,662 shares.

john50 - Ah, but if you looked at the RNS on 9 Sep you will have noticed that SWIP Ltd on behalf of Lloyds TSB were interested in 27,770,662 shares. In other words they have sold 3,750,000 shares. Now why do you think that is?

yea, but they kept 24 million, 20 thousand 662 shares, why do you think that is???. They sold a few to buy some sps (probably).

END

Scottish Widows have sold only 3.60-3.70 million shares, the instituition that has been buying has bought nearly 15.00 million shares over the last week. Hence, the price has been up four trading sessions in a row and yesterday finished unchanged.

That is the RNS I am waiting for.

250,000 BUY has come through at 9.25 pence this morning

Large buyer who has accumalated many already....could be buying more today with the 250,000 VW wieghted buy at 9.25 pence reported so far....online buy size is the lowest I've seen in IQE for a long while at 100,000 at 9.38 pence.

Topped up with 15,457 shares this morning at 9.38 pence....as well.

Sue - can we just clarify a few things here?

1) You reckon there is resistance at 10p(from your Investech posts)

2) Level 2 has only WINS left on the bid with 4 MMs on offer

3) Scottish Widows have a huge holding and are decreasing.

Apart from some VW and T trade buys, do you have any other reason to buy at the moment?? Presumably, Scottish Widows will simply sell to match the buying, as to dump their holding in one go would be impossible without a severe scalping.

Here comes the very large buy :

938,450 BUY at 9.25 pence has come through.

Large buyer still about...more still could be on their way.

Now you know why the price has been stuck at this price for the last 48 hours....Level 2 is 1 v 4 as WINS who are alone on the bid have been filling all the large and very large buys....hence level 2 is irrelevant with the very large buys being filled in the background. With WINS still on the bid alone....more very large buys will be coming in the 9.25-9.50 pence range.


100,000 BUY comes through at 9.38 pence.

WHAT no charts Sue. lol

Investor's chronicle says it will break even by the end of this year - BUY

Another very large buy comes through in IQE :

668,450 BUY comes through at 9.23 pence....did say more were coming.

That's around 20 Million shares purchased now by someone since last Wednesday....

WINS moved down to 8.25 pence on the bid....they need more stock to fill the next million buy....its just been WINS alone on the bid during the last few days.
Next very large buy should appear.....around 9.25 pence.

Blatant treeshake on the bid to fill the next very large buy.....online bid is still at 8.66 pence which is the same as when the indicative bid was displayed at 8.50 pence.

Next large buy expected to be very big again.
The 55K seller got 8.66 on the bid and WINS are so desperate for stock that they have lowered the offer to get some peeps to sell.

Sue - why are you inventing level2 data?
It's clear that you don't actually have level2 as otherwise you would realise that EVO were on the 8.25p bid not WINS.

Once WINS took the 55k sell, they moved onto the 9.5p offer. It was EVO that was alone on the 8.25p bid(and still is).

Please don't mislead other investors...

If anyone is interested L2 at the time of this post is EVO on 8.25p bid and WINS on 9.25p offer. Other MMs all at 8/9.5

MMs really desperate for stock now...offering 8.68 pence on the bid online - best online bid price of the day.

That is a near 1/2 pence premium to the indicative bid displayed.

Sue - don't bother apologising for lying to everyone, with your invented L2.

Oh, you weren't going to!

dell, your are one very sad person, have you never heard of DYOR.

John - I'm amazed that you think lying about level2 is acceptable.

Whilst everyone on these threads has their own agenda, surely some rules of common decency apply?

I shall make a point of not believing anything you and your liar friend, Sue Helen, post from now on...

Have a nice day,
