John ,

That 5th July launch is the VA207 which was supposed to launch in June but was delayed , Hylas2 should(unconfirmed) be on VA208 which doesn't have a launch date yet but would probably be early August.

[johncsimpson] 12/6/2012 07:40

I see colva has found an Ariane update showing 5 July as the rescheduled launch date for Hylas 2 with a launch window of around midnight GMT.

The share price of AVN managed to stall again yesterday though without any significant fall back - only just below 300 on the bid for a lot of the day. It's still at the lower levels of a flat trading channel but it is odd that you couldn't trade directly on-line to either buy or sell for most of the day after about 9.30am, though my broker (Selftrade) offered me on-line commission rates for telephone orders citing a computer glitch for the problem. This didn't really square up as you could trade / follow on line other shares I follow without problems.

Posted over on ii by GD632, VA207 launch date.

I've been attempting 'dummy' buys on and off all morning and haven't been able to get an on-line buy quote for more than 1000. Now I cant get an on-line buy quote at all and can only sell 1000 on-line.

unfortunately the various analyses of the AVN chart were not very positive.

although we seem to be close to a possible golden cross with the 50 crossing up through the 200 mda, the continued sideways movement is frustrating. at least this is happening on low volume.

the brief spike-down last week of the bid price (which unfortunately triggered the stop-loss on one of my spreadbets) was a salutary reminder that AVN's share price has not yet regained its health.

I am sure that the uncertainty surrounding the date for the Hylas-2 launch has unsettled what was looking to be a good recovery.

colva your post 100 above

Have had a look at fingers xxd and I'm broadly in agreement with him apart from this 'key date' he mentions. I don't have any key date as such, just a sideways trending channel where there is a notional 300ish support and 320ish resistance.

As I stated last Friday, I was of the opinion that this was now the time to start buying back (which I am doing). In addition to my buys of Friday, I now have limit buys 10p on either side of 270 - 270 being notionally 10% below this 300ish psychological area. Why 10%? Well that's my trading system / style following my buy decision based on my charts. Why 10p as opposed to 15p? Well . . . . no answer to that apart from what I call pound cost averaging - again part of my trading system.

Buywell - my post 97 so this is a repost - I was looking at your post 8982 on yorgi's thread. I didn't agree with you at the time and you seem to be wrong (or or do you still hold the same opinion); if not, where do you think this is going in the next week or so?

[yorgi] 11/6/2012 08:19

I don't follow charts closely but I do from time to time look at Fingers thread and he does a good job and puts a lot of effort into his charts and is widely respected.

[megabear] 11/6/2012 08:16

For anyone with any interest in charts, there's quite a few on AVN over the weekend on Fingers' thread.

[yorgi] 11/6/2012 07:57

Lets hope so after a disappointing week last week Ae34.

Market should rise today which could take us with it and as launch date gets closer. It will be good for the BOD to announce when Hylas 2 is on site and ready for launch which we could hear any time in my view. I would also expect some revenue numbers from Hylas 1 which the market most clearly needs.

[buywell2] 11/6/2012 07:14

You guys getting fed up of talking ramps to each other yet on the Bulls Board ?

[colva] 11/6/2012 05:32

The latest charts from Fingers' FXD board, Thanks to Fingers, Reidy and Tradesmarter , posts 1660, 1661, 1664, and 1668

I've been trying to put the share price into a bit of perspective, given what's going on in the rest of Europe. A quick bit of analysis shows that over the last three months Avanti has outperformed the FTSE All share by 27% and AIM by 35%. If the market had not been quite so shocking AVN would have been well over 400p by now. Given the approach of the launch, I expect the shares to break free of Europe's gravitational pull.......

Satlaunch.net



revised 9 June (i.e.today), now shows Hylas 2 as a July launch - no exact date with Echostar 17 as end of June - again no exact date.

Echostar 16 (sixteen) which had an original launch date of 22 July has also been delayed until August (date unspecified). Quite why Echostar 16 was due to launch after Echostar 17 I do not know.

from Arianespace:


June 6, 2012 – Ariane Flight VA208

The fourth Ariane 5 for launch by Arianespace in 2012 is beginning to take shape with the assembly start-up of this heavy-lift vehicle at the Spaceport in French Guiana, which will orbit a dual-passenger payload later in the year.

============================

unfortunately it doesn't confirm the payload, but at least it means that the delay to VA207 may not have much of an impact on VA208.

nor is there any info about Hylas-2, e.g. whether it has arrived on-site yet.

VA207 is still showing as "June", without a specific date.

Let's hope so Plasybryn........I'm sure we will know soon :-)

[johncsimpson] 08/6/2012 13:45

Good time to buy his past hour or so . . .

Should start to move now.

[plasybryn] 08/6/2012 13:09

Probably coiling back the spring getting ready to pop on launch news. Can't see why not. Not even much patience required, as news must be soon. Don't let us down Advanti.

[yorgi] 08/6/2012 13:03

Or down as we are now, with last years, disinformation and shorting campaign the market needs to see some numbers now before we make much headway. We need to see that the analysts figures are justified. I do still believe that we will have a "launch rise" which will probably begin with confirmation that all is well and on schedule.

Then of course there is the wider market sentiment.

[colva] 08/6/2012 12:10

Yes it looks like were going to keep moving sideways until we get some news ,there's a good chance that we'll get a 50/200 golden cross next week which should generate some interest .

[yorgi] 08/6/2012 11:15

The market not diving as it looked first thing and we appear to be holding quite well also.

What we need to move us on as I have commented before is confirmation of launch and along with it the revenue numbers from Hylas 1.........Maybe Monday !

[johncsimpson] 08/6/2012 11:07

Buywell, was looking at your post 8982 on yorgi's thread. I didn't agree with you at the time and you seem to be wrong (or or do you still hold the same opinion); if not, where do you think this is going in the next week or so?

[johncsimpson] 08/6/2012 10:43

Yup, mms took out a dozen or so stop losses . . . they must be bored.

Added; morning buywell - totally relaxed.

[yorgi] 08/6/2012 10:34

A pretty red day all round as far as I can see and we are no exception here.

[yorgi] 08/6/2012 10:27

Ah that's the reason :-)
