Assume he is refering to the level in the chart where it had a think on its downward trend...

[qs9] 25/8/2006 11:34

Looks very very positive IMO....why only 14p?

[bigdunc] 25/8/2006 10:57

That will be welcome as I'm in at 9.75p

[knowing] 25/8/2006 10:56

Chart looks clear for a run to 14p Dunc.

[bigdunc] 25/8/2006 10:50

That accounts for the large volumns lately, and hopefully a breakout today

Another large volume day.

Many Thanks Frank, that does explain a little of your aversion to this and more than likely the entire airline sector. A friend of mine used to advise clients on equities and said that if a client worked in the particular sector he was recommended he would more than likely never buy it. Familiarity breeds contempt etc...

I try to make most investments with an open mind and doing a certain degree of research and I am confident enough in this that's its a decent play. NO matter what you buy there will always have 3 or more bear points, if they haven't why aren't they capped at billions and a world leader..

[frank spencer] 23/8/2006 13:51

Actually thats not strictly true. I bought easyjet shares at just over #1 a year or two back, as that was too good an opportunity to pass down.

Any similarity between this mob and easyjet is purely coincidental though.

[knowing] 23/8/2006 13:51

LOL heard it all now so that makes you and old geezer.

[frank spencer] 23/8/2006 13:46

BigD.

Certainly.

I used to be a commercial airlines pilot and my brother works for Virgin. I think that qualifies me as having more than a passing knowledge of the industry.

For whats its worth, I would never buy any airline share at any price, as they are all barely one loose nut away from bankrupcy.

[bigdunc] 23/8/2006 13:43

Tell me Frank what do you know about the airline business, if you are an expert or perhaps an industry analyst then I will of course bow to your superior knowledge..

[overbgua] 23/8/2006 13:38

Sounds good to me!

[frank spencer] 23/8/2006 13:37

You don't appear to know much about the airline business, or for that matter, judging by your posts, anything else. Your loss son.

[knowing] 23/8/2006 13:20

Only if they have done zero research which is obviously where you are coming from.

[frank spencer] 23/8/2006 13:19

Could one also say,

Lots of sellers about, looking dire as margins continue to get squeezed, growth set to stall as initial impressive percentage growth leads to stagnation ?

I think one could.

[knowing] 23/8/2006 13:16

Lots of stock moving around. Looking good for the long term. Nice growing company.

[knowing] 23/8/2006 11:55

Some big old trades old through today.

Yes you will have been notified about this as a holder of AAIR.

Just the formalities of listing documentation and processes.

[wookey] 18/8/2006 09:22

Thank you for your reply.

I gather from your comment that the shares have been allocated prior to listing.

On what does listing now depend?

[bigdunc] 18/8/2006 07:50

All shares are given an ordinary value, for someone who has always used Crest and never received a certificate, this may not be known. This bears no resemblance to the price of the firms shares upon its eventual listing on OFEX.

You have received 1 share for every 10 AAIR held.

i.e if you held 50 000 AAIR, you will be allocated 5000 Avation, if they come to the market with a 4-5p spread, your holding will have a market value of £200

[wookey] 17/8/2006 16:43

I have a number of AVATION PLC ORDINARY SHARES OF 1 PENCE EACH AAIA.OFX which cost nothing and are worth nothing.

Could someone please explain the purpose of these shares and tell me if I am sitting on a pot of gold or something else?

[knowing] 17/8/2006 14:32

Now now ;-)
