Interesting reading-looks like asg will move swiftly forward.Shame the funding issues were not discussed though.Will be interesting to see how the renegotiated contracts,due any time,will effect the share price

[tsmith2] 02/3/2008 10:15

cracking interview.

Rees certainly has the pedigree and skill set to make ASG a big player in the market place.

good work bronking.....I may even add to my holding now......

[dyardley] 29/2/2008 12:02

Thanks Bronking... agood read!

I particularly like the part were he said......... "Avanti certainly doesn't intend to be hanging around as a £2 million market cap business in a year's time!"


What vision do have for the business and where would do you see it being in 12 months time?

Our vision is to establish ourselves as the brand that is synonymous with the creation of leading edge, interactive digital visual solutions in out of home retail environments

Our content-led offering will bring this vision to life for the end consumer and in so doing create a medium that delivers value for our client partners and is viewed as an essential part of the media portfolio for advertisers.

We have already started this journey and I expect to be a considerable way down the road in achieving our commercial objectives 12 months from now.

Avanti certainly doesn't intend to be hanging around as a £2 million market cap business in a year's time!

nice one bronking, simon is not giving a lot away though, but what he did say that i find is very encouraging is:

Clearly the de-merger and funding issues made it inevitable that much of our focus has been financially orientated. However, in parallel with this, our time and attention has been on building a solid foundation from which to grow. The company has been reshaped and a new business model has been created which we are now drip-feeding into the market

My approach has always been to deliver before shouting about it.... put this down to a sporting background!

We have already started this journey and I expect to be a considerable way down the road in achieving our commercial objectives 12 months from now.

simon rees spotlight Q&A

[andrbea] 29/2/2008 08:56

reckon March will see some big gains on many AIM stocks

Why?

well, we haven't had our normal bull run (Jan-Feb) so most price charts look awful, not to say dire

normally ca March 25 the MMs like to walk down prices as people sell to avoid CGT. that cycle lasts till ca April 10

but with shares so low (eg asg at 2p) who is going to sell to pocket gains, as the gains don't exist?. So levels need to be higher (by ca March 25)


just my thoughts....

I believe we could have reached the bottom! 3 reasons.
1. such lack of interest in this share at the moment as this forum indicates!
2. MM seem to be taking all the sells at this level.
3 i can not even buy 1 share on-line this morning!

[l30nski] 28/2/2008 13:28

Seem to have consistant selling taking place at the moment yet the price is staying steady. Seems to me market makers are happy to pick up stock at this price. Could be a sign the price has now bottomed out? Although now I've said that it will no doubt drop again.

Feb 26

Caledonia Investments, the largest investor in Avanti Communications, the satellite operator that intends to launch its own satellite next year, is said to have been adding to its 22 per cent stake. Caledonia was an investor in Avanti Screenmedia, the struggling parent company from which Avanti Communications, down 1p at 171½p, demerged last April.

if all these companies are 'cap in hand' for fresh funds, surely consolidation is the best way out?

eg sct, sfx, imtk and asg in 1 big outfit or a takeover by a European company.

[8trader] 22/2/2008 12:55

Do you really think people believe you asparks !

It makes me laugh when i look around and the same "usual suspects"
are trying to pump and dump their trades.

If you are going to such great lengtht to push Imtk then why are you
not ramping Asg even on it's own thread let alone others when apparently
you hold more.

Anyway, i dont even know why you were removed from my filter, i detest
posters like you so back on it goes.

[asparks] 22/2/2008 12:51

i hold more ASG than IMTK. FACT

[8trader] 22/2/2008 12:21

Asparks is full of it, he dont hold Asg, he's just yet another lying
pump and dumper that spams other threads to try and suck in anybody
so he can dump imtk !

If you go back in the thread he and william47 (tryinghard2) pumped
and dumped it before then never posted for months !

[asparks] 22/2/2008 12:02

buy some IMTK argy2!

[asparks] 22/2/2008 11:39

I hold ASG and IMTK

ASG down 10% :-(

IMTK up 5% :-)

[cyclingnut] 22/2/2008 09:13

ass sparks...........why do you do it mate. It makes you look so desperate?

[asparks] 22/2/2008 09:01

Yesterdays news re Pfizer stake in IMTK is reported in todays FT, Telegraph and Guardian.
I expect it to rise today.....edit...it just has

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Imaginatik PLC said pharmaceutical company and
Imaginatik customer Pfizer Inc has agreed to buy up to 500,000 stg worth of
shares in the company.
Imaginatik said the funds raised from the subscription will be used to
expand its enterprise social networking and collaboration technology to further
improve its offering in the sector.
The company said Pfizer has agreed to subscribe for up to 13.0 mln shares.
The subscription price and the actual number of shares to be issued will be
based upon a 5 pct premium to the average closing offer price of an ordinary
share in Imaginatik over the coming five dealing days.
In addition to the equity investment, Pfizer is purchasing 10,000 new
licences of Imaginatik's Idea Central software, to evaluate the use of the
software in other units within the company.

Number of brokers have tipped ASG and expect to see the share price in double figures towards the end of 2008. Perhaps that is the clearest indication possible not to buy ! . I understand they need 2m finance to keep going and fund future expansion, which in this climate will be challenging.

With that in mind, not shure why we have seen the recent rise from share price of 2p

Be Lucky all

[anusol] 21/2/2008 14:09

at such a discounted price be nice to see Directors buying a few on the cheap. I mean it aint going to cost them much to take extra 3-5% holding each! If the company is as good as they tout, then why should they let the likes of us benefit from any +ve side when they can buy it for themselves?

[cyclingnut] 21/2/2008 13:19

nothing but sells showing on trades - possibly a buy order being filled behind the scenes, othwise MMs wouldnt have upped the bid?
