Jade, typing messages here whilst breaking the national speed limit sounds very risky :O)

Nugacity, I am over 70 now. Am I likely to see this dividend you write about?

[nugacity] 06/8/2014 11:55

Facts never have helped this stock. In the early days Mr Williams seemed to have the unhappy knack of making 20% average news sound more important than 80% good news.
The board then starting announcing really good news about the companies who were taking bandwidth from us and mysteriously this had an adverse reaction too!

It has always been the same, £7 per share going into a perfect launch for Hylas 1 and instead of jumping to £9 on the way to £23 as predicted by several professionals, the price halved to £3.50

It beggars belief but the same stupid pattern has continued over the ensuing period. I still have faith that the countries which will benefit from Avanti 2014 will not be miraculously jumping into the space age any time soon and will still be using our services once the rest of the world has moved on to the next technology.

And that service is probably better than mine in England because I am at the end of a wire just a few miles from the nearest telephone exchange.

I bought my shares for the dividends they'll be paying one day in the distant future or hopefully sooner.

We could do with KPIs and bandwidth availability stats to start to turn the tide.

I'd say the opportunistic fund raising for a further satellite was against institutional wishes - pushed back profitability and added yet more risk.

Management need to give the market comfort in revenue per quarter being enough to meet the high debt servicing costs and one way to do this would be for more transparent and helpful contract win announcements.

The share price is under pressure from shorters and only facts will dispel their pathetic actions.

Seemed to be reasonable news today but still went down?

[wilksey11] 29/7/2014 09:29

ok point taken

[yorgi] 29/7/2014 09:27

Possibly Wilksey.....sorry but you know how one thing can lead to another :-)

[wilksey11] 29/7/2014 09:22

that was a bit harsh yorgi

So Paul Walsh is a drinks veteran. What did he do to get the title?

Sunday Times...

For those who don't get the Sunday Times, this was on the last page of the business section. Is it normal for a broker to reissue a note like that? Anyone who works in the city know? Anyone seen the note even?
"The pressure must be rocket-ing at the satellite broadband supplier Avanti, chaired by drinks veteran Paul Walsh. The shares have tumbled since it recently warned that it would be hit by a $7m loan arrangement fee. Last Monday its house broker, Jefferies, advised investors to "give careful scrutiny" to Avanti's statement. This was lost from a version published the following day. Wonder what prompted the change of heart."

Chartwise 140 to 145p looks about it , a few pence lower than the 150p last low

[duckduckgo] 26/7/2014 07:07

Thanks Buywell. Almost missed the blue line running along the bottom. Does your charting give you any idea of how low it might go?
What is Paul Walsh doing? The share price is now down 40% in the 4 months since the day he took over as chairman. He needs to get in control of what's being presented. Surprised he signed off on the June press release saying trading was in line with expectations and then we find out a month later that we're going to miss PBT - due to things they should pretty well have known about in late June.

Chew on this over the W/E

[bulltradept] 25/7/2014 13:48

£1.70 does look a possibility from here..

[chriscallen] 24/7/2014 11:50

No director can now buy or sell shares until 15 September as the company is now in a close period.

[buywell2] 22/7/2014 20:38

Check the debt side

[bigkahunaburger] 22/7/2014 12:41

Looks like talk of a placing are ill-advised - company has $195m cash
