Buys large sells small.
Classic.

volume has been quite low the last few weeks so anyone dumping is doing it in very small amounts.Just seems as though investors are waiting for a clearer view of the prospects of the company especially with O3b on the horizon. (quite literally).

[chrissey] 16/11/2011 14:54

different to last year at this time, Xbox 1 wasn't even launched and we were motoring!

[restassured] 16/11/2011 11:54

Nope am happy with my view.

Plenty of newsflow on its way.

[bubbleandleek] 16/11/2011 11:52

erm, i think you'll find it's the other way round.... someone is gently de-creasing their holding and keeping the px sub 300p - there seems to be a decent seller in the mkt around the 298p level - i think these see 260p before we break 300p again. muchos unloved at the moment.

[restassured] 16/11/2011 10:30

Someone is gently stakebuilding and holding the price below 300p

[geheimnis2] 15/11/2011 22:59

wow this one is very quiet

i guess the next piece of news should be the hylas 3 financing

difficult to imagine we will be less than £6 by june, with hylas 2 operational (hopefully with the large US military contract taking up capacity) and hylas 3 fully financed.

but we will see - the market has turned her eye from this one, certainly

[geheimnis2] 13/11/2011 19:43

goes to show the level of demand in the market

and avanti will already have 2 satellites up befor 2013 (and hylas 3 in 2013, i assume)

sounds positive to me

[blue forever] 13/11/2011 10:37

Anyone know anything about the proposed O3b satellite launches in 2013. Eight to go up with a further four planned,all KA band as well. Possible competition and maybe the reason for the share price staying down?

[yorgi] 11/11/2011 13:11

What counts is the market capitalisation and anyone who does their research will soon see that the market cap of AVN is now cheap when compared to its assets and is revenue looking forward. what is also clear it is now going to have to prove that it can sell its service and show the revenues and in time profits and by that time the share price will be well above where we are now.

"TBF, human nauture is such that if people can buy 1 share at 300p or 10 shares at 30p, they want the greater number of lower cost shares."

Only VERY naive investors, and they won't be spending enough to have any effect.

[melody9999] 10/11/2011 23:52

rather buy a 300p share than a 30p share. typically the spread is a lower %.

[chrissey] 10/11/2011 23:50

yorgi, you are indeed an optimist, sometimes one has to be I guess!

[yorgi] 10/11/2011 17:24

Sometimes Chrissey but not always I would say and in the case of AVN I don't think it would make any difference. It needs a better market, money coming in again along with further newsflow from AVN and good broker, analysts reports.

It will come I'm sure but it is not going to happen overnight.

[chrissey] 10/11/2011 17:18

TBF, human nauture is such that if people can buy 1 share at 300p or 10 shares at 30p, they want the greater number of lower cost shares.

For some reason they think they are getting a better deal.

report at Hargreaves Lansdown TODAY

Buy: Avanti Communications (AVN)
Sky is not the limit
Thursday 10 November 2011

Even though the successful launch of its first satellite in orbit has become something of a millstone rather than milestone for Avanti Communications (AVN) the market opportunity remains huge and the shares therefore look unduly depressed.

Avanti's plan is to supply broadband and mobile phone services to the parts of Europe, Africa and the Middle East that copper wires and fibre optic cables cannot reach. October's full-year figures (3 Oct) are not terribly relevant given the hefty upfront cost involved of launching Hylas 1, which is now fully operational and booking real revenues.

The share price slide can be explained by slow progress in building the order book, which shows just a £2 million increase to £139 million since April, but the pipeline is encouraging, as deals worth £473 million are still up for grabs. Avanti remains upbeat Hylas 1's capacity will be sold out within three years, especially as a third has already been bought by clients.

Additional excitement should come from summer 2012's planned launch of Hylas 2. If history is any guide, that could light a fire under the shares and the pre-sale of £30 million worth of contracts before it is even operational can be taken as a pretty good sign. Beyond that, the company has plans for a third satellite, Hylas 3.

The need to use potentially contentious discounted cashflow (DCF) valuation models can create volatility in the stock but if many analysts' share price targets are right, investors could be looking at five or six-fold share price rises by 2014/15

[chrissey] 10/11/2011 16:17

maybe AVN should do a 1 for 10 split.

[blue forever] 10/11/2011 15:55

No-one`s buying so it won`t go up,I suppose we should be grateful that no-one`s selling either !

[bubbleandleek] 10/11/2011 15:53

Avanti was also tipped as BUY in Shares mag this morning... frustrating

[khairkhair] 10/11/2011 14:54

my sentiment exactly yorgi...baffling...patience

[yorgi] 10/11/2011 12:01

I'm baffled by AVN's SP, I know the market is nervous to say the least but all we have had is good news, directors buys and in most positive recommendations by brokers/analysts but it still refuses to move away from this 300p area......and under :-(

[zooshare] 09/11/2011 14:45

interesting bit of charting....HB is a good chartist

[yorgi] 09/11/2011 08:49

I think it is often like that first thing in the morning Pojscott......well that has been my perception.
