An Evertonian with nothing else to say to people other
than LOL.

Beginning to feel a little sorry for you.

I would put it at about £1 (+/- 25p).

The reason being that there is much news to come between now and 1st Jan 2002 that will significantly affect ATNs share price. Of course this might not all be good news but in the main I expect it to be. In particular:

1. The deal with Affinity will be finalised on 8th August. This in itself should put a few pence on the price.

2. Given an increase to 14p (likely in the next 1 or 2 weeks) investors will realise the bottom has most probably be seen and will be prepared to buy the stock "on the basis of fundamentals" rather than sell on the basis of "fear".

3. If it were not for fear of bankruptcy then a fair price for the company would probably be around the asset value of £2.40 per share. Between now and 1st January 2002 this fear will either be alleviated or confirmed (I certainly think the former is more likely). Hence a price of around £1 might would still allow a significant discount for fear and uncertainty.

4. Almost all of the bad news about the telecoms sector now seems to be out and confidence is likely to return to the sector from this point forward.

5. We are likely to see some directors buying. This will demonstrate to the markets that directors have confidence in their own company.

6. There is a reasonable possibility of the bonds being renegotiated on terms that would be favourable to shareholders e.g a debt for equity swap. Whilst this would cause dilution it would still boost the share price because it would greatly reduce the company's (perceived) debt burden.

7. Now that the network is substantially complete management will be able to demonstrate the start of a growing cash flow.

8. Now that restructuring has largely been completed management will be able to demonstrate a significant reduction in cash burn.

financial ruin your name is appropriate. 2 questions.

1)How can you base ATN on fundamentals? Do you know the meaning of the word?

2)More importantly the Affinity deal would have been priced in on announcement. So why will it rise today?

You are the weakest link.

Ro12369 seems to me you are the weakest link.LOL GOODBY

If I took a profit now I would have to buy back tomorrow it's a good deal and should rise a fair bit yet.IMHO

Blimy, I seem to have stired up a hornets nest.

[w5amh] 08/8/2001 13:27

ugly..I think a stock can only go down 100% once.

[hilary] 08/8/2001 13:24

And it'll be £3.00 by 2003! Won't it net?

I didn't realise you still held. I thought you'd gone short.

:-))

netcurtains :

Baltimore
Kewill
Redstone
Dont forget "Independent Energy"

I could go on forever......

Just because a share is low doesnt mean it cant go down by 100% !

[skidrow10] 08/8/2001 13:24

Don't think we are daft enough ( maybe R016359885.23 IS ) to not
expect price to have some profit takers.

However SCI were at 35p few weeks ago, large seller sold out and
price went to 91p yesterday with further to come as i expect the
games market to take off in next twelve months ( x-box etc ).

ATN are in the right market that is going to fly in the next
twelve months also.

Don't listen to doomsters as they have own agenda.

Current Market Cap is £27M
It used to have a Market Cap of over £1 BILLION.
It has assets of over £500M.

It had further to fall then though, plus they had a lot to prove and the prospects weren't good compared to rivals - However they seem to have held it together pretty well and now everybody else is in trouble they look comparitively good...

[ro12369] 08/8/2001 13:09

i remember the exact same talk round about the £5 level. down down down.

[willb] 08/8/2001 13:08

But bear in mind ATN recently plunged from well over 40p (with a seemingly strong lower resistance level of 30p) down to 8p for no real reason... They're just correcting the price again following the recent positive announcements, should stabilise above 30p again I reckon...

[uglyboatrace] 08/8/2001 13:00

Just remember what happened with CLA - they shot from 6p to 40p, then back down to 10p

THIS IS A RAMP - NO STOCK CAN SUBSTAIN SUCH RISES WITHOUT "SOME" PROFIT TAKING!
BEWARE - IF YOU ENTER, CHOOSE YOUR EXIT POINT VERY VERY CAREFULLY

DONT BE GREEDY!

* Atlantic's relatively healthy balance sheet is largely a product of the lucky timing of last year's fundraising. But Atlantic enjoys another relative strength in its advanced German digital subscriber line business, which expands the capacity of ordinary phone wires. The experience of rolling out and operating DSL networks on the Continent will be invaluable when the regulatory unbundling of local exchanges for DSL provision in the UK gathers more momentum. There is, of course, the wider risk that some alternative telecoms companies are too focused on DSL strategies; but Atlantic also has its long-established wireless business to fall back on or plug in any gaps in its DSL coverage.

it gets better !!!!!!
