They will flog the co to private equity.

superg1,

You are speculating again; you know no better than the rest of us whether 350p or 450p is coming. You are in no position to state 'Hylas 2 launch is too far off to rescue the share price in the short term' because it is based on nothing more than your best guess.

You have made factual errors on this BB regarding your persistent belief than the BOD did not announce to the market in a timely fashion the delayed launch of Hylas 1 which colva proved recently to be incorrect yet you continue to make such unfounded statements about the share price.

Worse still, you have accused posters on this BB of ramping the share price yet you are deramping it yourself. That is highly hypocritical!

It is akin to if I stated that the share price of FUM will drop to 60p shortly because of increased competition.

I believe even the most bearish of independent analysts has a share price target on AVN of 488p so why do you know better?

july trading update will see this rocket

IMHO

It does seem from preevious comments that SC's target is £3.50 and he may close then. Superg1 seems to have the same target for whatever reason.

[yorgi] 19/5/2011 19:04

Hylas2 launch gets closer by the day and the point of the rocket will be first inserted up the ........................ before it's journey into space and we will all be happy, well bar one :-)

[superg1] 19/5/2011 17:53

Teetering now on the £4 mark.

Hylas 2 launch is too far off to rescue the share price in the short term.

350 coming as I said

[yorgi] 19/5/2011 09:46

Lets hope so John :-) At least we are holding at the moment and trying to edge up.

[2350220] 19/5/2011 09:43

Hey Yorgi,
I thought that 500p was the line in the sand . . . and didn't close out when it went way below.
so let's hope you are right, where I've been so so wrong.

John

[yorgi] 18/5/2011 20:40

I feel pretty confident that 400p is pretty much the bottom and if we have any good news released by AVN then I'm quite sure we will move on up quite quickly. What counts is our management are continuing in the building of the business and as long as they are doing that then the share price will reflect that in time and the shorters will not be able to influence the outcome.

[marksnsparkle] 18/5/2011 17:37

There certainly seems to have been a line drawn in the sand at £4 .... on a good bit of news I think £4 would definitely be the bottom .... the only doubt I have is what happens if the stock market consolidates before that news?

I think if you pencilled £3.50 in as a worst case scenario you would be on pretty safe ground ... having said that I haven't had the balls to buy and shares yet :-)

[yorgi] 18/5/2011 16:52

Good question Ken....some of us have thought that for few weeks even months but in time we are confident it will rise but when is the question.

[ken298] 18/5/2011 16:45

Have we hit bottom and on way back up ?

[pojscott] 18/5/2011 15:15

Yes - nice to see!

[yorgi] 18/5/2011 14:59

Yes I was thinking the same but didn't want to think out loud in case it had the wrong effect......but as you have Pojscott :-)

I have quite a bit of blue today which makes a change of recent

[pojscott] 18/5/2011 14:56

A bit a blue!!!

[pojscott] 17/5/2011 14:00

Lets hope your right Backmarker.

[yorgi] 17/5/2011 13:58

Good post Backmarker :-)

[backmarker] 17/5/2011 12:10

I don't think the directors are purchasing because they are trying to prop up the sp, but because they see buying shares at 400p is a good investment.

if they are confident that the business is doing well and have a view that the shares might be, say, well over £10 in a couple of years time, then that represents a good proposition. certainly better than when they were at 700p earlier in the year.

unless AVN is intending to raise funds from shareholders in the near future - and it has been indicated that AVN doesn't want to do this - then the current dip in the share price is not particularly important. provided they are delivering on the plan and can continue to issue RNSs that they are doing so, the board has little to worry about, as it's ultimately down to the market what price is put on the value of the company at any given time. provided the company and the board continue to deliver then value will generally follow in due course.

on present performance the company is delivering. that may change in the future, of course, for any number of reasons. but so far so good.

last year the market liked the story and the share price rose strongly. this year the market is nervous and so the rating has fallen. that's life.

however, unless we get some major market change, such as new technology that makes ka-band irrelevant, it's difficult to see how AVN won't become profitable at some point and would therefore have little or no value. I'm not saying it couldn't happen, just that it seems very unlikely.

imho, AVN appears to be still on-course to achieve it's predicted sales plan and therefore it's predicted profitability. whether the market's confidence in this happening will improve or get worse in the short-term I can't say. but in the longer term, provided the company actually does deliver what's expected, then the risk reduces and a more normal valuation will return. and I expect that valuation to be much higher than the present one !

[marksnsparkle] 17/5/2011 11:54

broadwood ... wrong company, that rns is for Avanti Capital PLC ...

[broadwood] 17/5/2011 11:37

Who he?

The Company was notified on 13 May 2011 by Mr Raymond J.R French ('Mr

French') acting in his capacity as director of Sky Hill Limited and the manager and director of Zeta Beta Limited, that Mr French has a notifiable interest in 1,127,500 shares in the Company, representing 14.05% of the total voting rights of the Company.

[yorgi] 17/5/2011 08:49

That is the very point Geheimnis.

[geheimnis2] 17/5/2011 08:47

dailos

i think the directors are long term holders rather than day traders

;-)

[yorgi] 17/5/2011 08:44

At least they don't this morning.

[yorgi] 17/5/2011 08:11

The directors know how the company is doing that they do understand. Yes the shorters have it at the moment but they won't forever.

[dailos] 17/5/2011 07:58

Directors are showing they have no understanding of AIM listed shares.
Its been irrelevant for a while now if this is going to be a successful company or not, its quite simply been a short..
