"We hope to update the market on HYLAS 3 very soon."



Should be any day now.

I would have thought that the last of the serious shorters would have closed out when the share price broke out of the 10 month downtrend on Oct 6/7 , but the data seems to suggest that there are still a few holding out.
The share price has fallen a long way this year and its probably asking a bit much for a quick return to the 500p / 600p area ( too many holders have been burned ).
Personally im happy to see the share price consolidating around this level as i need time to accumulate a decent holding and the longer the consolidation the stronger the breakout should be , also worth remembering that while the share price has been tanking all the news from AVN has been positive and the launch of Hylas2 is getting closer every day.

Personally I don't care whether shorters burn or not. They have had their day in the sun but I expect to have mine eventually. I am quite patient and don't mind if it takes a few more years.

The shorters don't need to burn they can probably close at these levels and trouser a few quid.

I might not be quite so understanding if I was underwater but I am still in profit.

Patience dear, patience.


Setting up for a powerful year end rally.

2012 tips season approaching too.

Often the worst performers end up the best performers,the following year.

My goodness I will be so glad to see these shorters burnt !

[yorgi] 08/11/2011 11:36

We do seem to be finding it hard to move on from this range but it will and as the sorters close and some get burnt :-) it should move quite rapidly through 400p area.

Agree - a short squeeze here will exacerbate the rise imo - wait till those shorters panic buy to close their positions.

It's an illiquid stock to 'have to buy'.

Short squeezes can be extremely violent.

Fasten seatbelts

The summary of Equity Development's research report on AVN on 31/10/11 states:-

Avanti Communications - Bears go into hibernation
Avanti Communications is the only licensed Fixed Satellite Services operator headquartered in the UK. Avanti sells satellite broadband services to telecoms companies which use them to supply residential, enterprise and institutional users. Avanti's announcement on 27 October 2011 of a framework agreement with BT around the provision of Business Internet Continuity (BIC) is significant in that it strongly validates Avanti's product. It is also a milestone for Avanti in that BT is the first global telco to sign up for a contract for Avanti's disaster recovery product as part of their overall product offering. This validation can be expected to lead to orders from other major telcos. This represents a huge market opportunity as companies become more reliant on internet connectivity and hence impacted by outages. There is also clear evidence that the short position in Avanti shares has been reducing significantly recently (most notably in the last week, and by around 1.3m since early August 2011): a short squeeze may develop. We retain our forecasts and a consequent fair value per share target of 1319p, attainable as the underlying business case is proven.

Not surprised, as this is a £25 stock.

The 'DX short selling activity' indicator for AVN has just changed to 'Low' after being at 'Medium' for many months:-

Shorts trying to keep a lid on, as they know it could double very quickly.

[yorgi] 07/11/2011 08:13

Good start to the day and it is looking like we could be breaking out of the range it has been trading in for weeks :-)
