Two points. I get annoyed when they issue news about contracts but no values. A bit pointless really and seen as possibly negative by the market.

Lastly, I thoughy H2 was already in the building stage.

I've no idea Golfer I suggest you drop AVN an email if your concerned. From what I've read I don't see it as a big risk, more chance of you being run over by a double decker bus probably Golfer or being hit by a golf ball when your out on the course.

thanks cupra kid,...i've seen what you mean, there'sso many nice little [and large] triangles in AVN over the past 2 years and yes, always move upward...i suppose my point was that there seems a lot of support at 600p so if it falls below this it could go to 570 [ish] quite quickly.

an earlier poster asked about collissions in space and found plenty online
was a fairly good article and talked about components regularly breaking down/falling off in space.

Does avanti have business interruption insurance to cover such a risk?

[cupra kid] 09/2/2011 21:40

The current chart pattern (from 700p to 600p) has happened quite frequently in the long term chart and nearly always ends in a sharp movement northwards. To try and call a bottom to this 'short term' trend would be very difficult.

FAO Hornblower really [oranyone else who feels like answering.!

I'm quite new to all this, but i've just seen Hornblowers charts and readalot of the threads,...does anyone thiink that AVN will drop to the 200 SMA currently at about 570 ??...

Market cap is not high in relation to forward expected turnover/profits. Debts quite manageable for the business plan. Competition I don't think there is any competition of concern especially if one looks at the market which is huge !

[rkhl] 09/2/2011 18:57

I guess the reason it is going down could be to do with a high mcap, currently non-existent profits, large debts and increased competition!!? I don't know if these could be factors, do they apply to AVN!?

[yorgi] 09/2/2011 17:50

I guess it must be Plasybryn because it makes no sense looking at the business

[yorgi] 09/2/2011 17:47

Yes, bit odd that at the moment Pojscott :-)

[yorgi] 09/2/2011 17:46

Fortune favours the bold Jimbo......:-) Well we hope so !

[pojscott] 09/2/2011 16:35

I think this is the only share I have held where constant good news pushes the share price down.

[jimbo55] 09/2/2011 16:31

gerhux, surely it should open your mind to the fact that the market often mis-prices good companies. This creates opportunities for the bold.

[yorgi] 09/2/2011 16:30

Agreed Gerhux.......that is if you believe that the share price is a true reflection of what AVN's future prospects for growth is. I don't and am happy to be holding but I don't deny I'm not very pleased to see the share price where it is.

[gerhux] 09/2/2011 16:22

I'm as keen as anyone to see a lift to the share price but an awful lot of wishful thinking goes on on this board. Five contract wins and a share price close to 600p does not inspire confidence.

[yorgi] 09/2/2011 15:39

Couldn't agree more 2vdm :-)

[2vdm] 09/2/2011 15:36

just topped up at 606.5, but will feel happier when we get the green light on H1

[yorgi] 09/2/2011 14:03

Good post Backmarker :-) I have nothing I want to sell at the moment but if I did then yes I would add a few more at this price.

[backmarker] 09/2/2011 12:39

looking at the chart I think the main downtrend has indeed been broken, but instead of the straightforward reverse of trend what we seem to be getting is one of those drawn-out turnarounds which end up as cup-shaped.

so I would think horneblower has it right that we will see some more sideways movement before the rise.

if Tom Bulford is to be believed then the "trigger" for the next big rise will be the start of services on HYLAS-1. the start-of-build for HYLAS-2 should also be a significant event.

so a plausible scenario is for a couple of weeks sideways followed by a slow climb building into a steep climb to complete the cup formation. (it will be interesting to see if we then get a handle, too)

while it's always disappointing for any share one owns and has high hopes for to be performing the way AVN is at present, if you are hoping for £15 by end-year then the current share price is not really too material. if you are confident enough that AVN has the prospect for £15-25 over the next couple of years then the current share price is a good buying opportunity - if you're not already fully invested as I suspect most of us are. but if one of your other investments pops up in the next week or two you might want to consider a (temporary) switch into AVN - I know I will - to take advantage of the situation.

personally I would prefer AVN to be much higher, it would somehow make me feel more confident, a bird-in-the-hand type of thing. however I suspect it might also tempt me to sell at least some of my holding well before the targetted highs. regrettably, emotions really do get in the way of rational thought, and result in financial underperformance. there's no gain without pain, and sometimes you just know the stock market professionals are playing on it.
