Doubt i'm going to have shown to be right but less wrong than it looked earlier :-)

[yorgi] 26/11/2010 15:24

I'm saying nothing QS9.....ok I will....thought we would be 700p ish before launch and I have been well wrong there....Who knows but higher than we are now !

Marksnsparkle looks like you timed it just right

[qs9] 26/11/2010 15:21

Sorry new to board, what are expectations or de-risked up in orbit and working share price ?

[yorgi] 26/11/2010 15:14

3 hrs and counting ;-)

[marksnsparkle] 26/11/2010 15:09

just bought my last chunk of shares and I'm ready for blast off

? How do you think wireless/mobile phones deliver broadband wirelessly ?

? Given that satellite phones can deliver voice why can they not deliver data and why not broadband data ?

[brancho] 26/11/2010 14:53

For any techies here - I thought BB was delivered through wires (cable or telephone). How is BB delivered through a satellite? is this high level wifi or something different? Just curious. TIA

[yorgi] 26/11/2010 14:34

Yes i'm sure your quite right Marksnsparkle, we will need the contract wins that is definite. I would expect once launched and fully operational for there to be an increase in contracts signed, well we hope so.

On the subject of cautionary posts, possibly slightly negative.....try posting them on the XEL BB and someone will have that person out of there in a jiffy ;-)

[marksnsparkle] 26/11/2010 14:29

yorgi ... I'm broadly in agreement with you, my only real point is that after an initial pop in the price upon a successfully launch, further near term growth in the share price will be from contract wins ... Avanti are not going to hit a £1 Billion market cap just by launching a satellite :-)

[yorgi] 26/11/2010 14:20

One of the reason I first invested in AVN was David Williams, his focus, commitment, drive and enthusiasm which I have always believed would pay dividends in AVN succeeding in their long term goal.

I believe that fact has always added a "few pence" to AVN's value

[yorgi] 26/11/2010 14:16

Apology not necessary but accepted anyway Wendsworth :-)

[share_shark] 26/11/2010 14:16

Interesting for techies?. I am still on steam radio here !. ;-)

yorgi : Point taken. I can only apologise if my tone has been so interpreted .

In the circumstances I suggest we accept that we both accept that our posts have been GENUINE ...otherwise its pointless posting.

[yorgi] 26/11/2010 14:15

Marksnsparkle.....very true it is not the share price that matters but the market cap as you rightly point out. Yes the SP/Market cap would be high but it is not so unusual for a high tech company with such long term growth and revenue stream. In the end the market will decide what it values AVN at

[marksnsparkle] 26/11/2010 14:06

wendsworth ... problem is everybody likes to talk about price, without a second thought for what the market cap is

Avanti has a market cap of just over £500 Million and the first satellite will generate a maximum of £30 Million revenue for 15 years (I think my memory serves me correct)

And I believe they have currently pre sold 15% of the capacity, i.e. £4.5 Million

So I do believe a successful launch will see a pop through £7, but like you I don't believe we will see £10 by the end of next week ... because the numbers just don't add up

[someuwin] 26/11/2010 14:06

Still the ODD shorter to close I see!

[peetle] 26/11/2010 14:04

I was about to say the same thing, Deadsceptical. If someone was trying to clear out, you'd think they'd finish before tonight.

[yorgi] 26/11/2010 13:43

Could be we will see

[deadsceptical] 26/11/2010 13:39

The last sale following the 25000 pattern was 29800. I think he has just cleared the last shares out of his holding. Onwards and upwards, rocket and share price

[yorgi] 26/11/2010 13:27

Yes it does Greyseal ;-)

backmarker - where the possibility of a deep event-related price plunge is considered to be a risk, but where the ongoing prospects for the company are considered good enough for the setback to be temporary, it could be argued that you are better off setting no stops at all rather than deep ones - and instead merely ensuring that you have enough margin within your spreadbet account to cover the dip and await the recovery. Otherwise you risk getting stopped out on a brief but severe downspike that could be deep enough to take out stops 200-300pts away.
