This is a £25 stock that has artificially been held down.

EDIT

V interesting move :-))

Good to see it close back above 300p - not so good was my stop loss being hit @ 279.9 yesterday morning - oh the joys of SB .

[yorgi] 03/11/2011 14:40

However at this time it is trying to buck the market it would appear.

[yorgi] 03/11/2011 14:22

At the moment it is very much in the hands of the wider market sentiment in my view.

[someuwin] 03/11/2011 14:20

...Either that or it will rise swiftly to 450p.

[the big fella] 03/11/2011 12:01

It does look like this will retest the recent lows, unless sentiment improves for small caps.

Slightly lateral, but defence contractor Cobham (COB), which supplies all sorts of hardware to US, UK and worldwide military, has just announced a major contract with US to supply satellite communication equipment. In its RNS announcement it said this -

"Cobham specialises in meeting the insatiable demand for data, connectivity and bandwidth in defence, security and commercial environments."

I quite liked the sound of "insatiable demand"......!

Inmarsat take from Times (this could be relevant - Nevertheless, the American arm of Inmarsat, LightSquared ,which provides mobile broadband via satellite, is doing well):

The Times's Tempus column assesses the satellite firm Inmarsat which has had a rough ride of late, falling 30% so far this year. Its business is built around its fleet of 11 satellites through which it provides data and voice services, notably to ships. As Tempus notes third quarter results weren't bad, with profits and revenues both up nearly 18%. The problems the firm has faced are twofold. Firstly, voice calls to satellite phones on ships are not making as much money as they once did as people start to use services like Skype. The second has been the "predatory" attentions of of Harbinger Capital which has now flogged its 28% stake in the firm.

Nevertheless, the American arm of Inmarsat, LightSquared ,which provides mobile broadband via satellite, is doing well and there is the plain fact that the share price has come down so significantly in recent months that Inmarsat looks undervalued. If you believe the adage "sell in euphoria buy in despair" then the British satellite firm may well be a buy.

BlackberryDrop, I got that link off this thread. Wouldn't know where to find out how much is available, sorry.

[blackberrydrop] 02/11/2011 16:31

cancun tango - thanks for the link. very interesting. can you see how much stock is available to lend at the moment?

[yorgi] 02/11/2011 15:47

Heading back to 325p now :-)

[someuwin] 02/11/2011 15:47

Bought a few more today.

Inverse H&S formation looking to support a swift move up to the 450p level.

[restassured] 02/11/2011 15:24

yadda yadda

The market just whipsaws these high beta stocks.
It is a little like riding a bucking bronco.

The thing is,if one can hold on and filter out the short term noise, the prize is over £20 a share within the next 24 months.

I expect to collect £337,00 for my £50,000 investment.

£11,958 a month.


Simples.

Shares on loan falling fast....



MMs teasing the shorters out today before squeezing them out tomorrow, hopefully.

[salamanda74] 02/11/2011 13:29

The other odd thing is that the disclaimer at the bottom of the t1ps page lists Avanti as per usual, but there was no mention of Avanti in the 'evil diary' content

[the big fella] 02/11/2011 13:29

I wonder how he borrowed the stock to short Dongfang?

[yorgi] 02/11/2011 13:25

I thought he had closed his Autonomy short some time ago so I'm not sure how accurate the list is. However I would have though he would have closed his AVN short whether recently or not I don't know.

[geheimnis2] 02/11/2011 13:21

interesting list - and in fairness, i suspect, some good calls there.

i hold IGG and PDX, incidentally

ok ta - good news - although cawky is a shyster, i would rather hold shares on which he has just closed a short than on ones where he has just opened

[salamanda74] 02/11/2011 13:14

G,
The evil diaries on t1ps. It's no longer listed as one of his shorts (unless I'm one of the three mice.......)
