Well if all is going well with Hylas 1 and 2 then I'm sure it is Rogk.

That is what the market wants to know and until they are convinced we will continue in limbo.

However it does look as if we might be edging up again it is still very low volume there are no big trades to suggest there is anything wrong.

Re. volume.
i was just wondering if it was stop loss's being taken out or if we had some serious sellers unloading .

I picked up a few at 308p earlier and if it drops back to the 300p area i'll be adding .

[hpcg] 04/10/2012 13:28

Absolutely - that back test shows plenty ready to shovel money in at 300. And I'm sure there were plenty, as advertised here today and by myself yesterday, that were holding off in the expectation that it would get there. No point buying higher than one has to.
We are a growth company so we have a vast trading range. Many invested are looking several years or more into the future and discounting those cash flows which makes the share price will look expensive on conventional measures. That gives plenty of scope for disagreement about the value today with neither side being right nor wrong as no one knows the future. Being in any way involved without having a strong opinion one way or the other seems like a recipe to get swept along by the winds of other peoples actions to me.

JS ,

What sort of volume have we got today ?

Sorry colva, I missed this. Volume has been up the last few days. What are you thinking?

[kfp] 04/10/2012 13:14

I was talking about the recent past ie 10 weeks I am not a day trader,been there done that.

[count chris] 04/10/2012 12:57

Falling? Think you'll find we are blue again! Despite a 5 point spread I managed to get 10 points out of the climb back up and didn't get stopped out on my holdings like I did at the end of July so I must be getting better / luckier (don't care which).

I honestly think that move was all about the graph

[kfp] 04/10/2012 12:30

Perhaps share price is falling because the resulte are overdue,good news is usually early.

[yorgi] 04/10/2012 12:22

Very disappointing Pojscott :-( what we need to see to see is how the revenues are going with Hylas 1 which we hope won't be long.

[pojscott] 04/10/2012 12:16

Whatever is said--this share price is very very disappointing!
People living in dreams of jam sometime------------???

Imagine going to work with a stop loss of 298p.

Someone went fishing today to get shares.

Conspiracy or not, imo, the CFD and spread bet companies are surely in bed with certain trading houses.

Told a few, the middle east will be set alight for 20 years and H2 and H3 will essential for 'NATO' forces.

Expect a buy out.

[hpcg] 04/10/2012 11:32

Good value for those who have read announcements and reports.

[johncsimpson] 04/10/2012 11:28

Strengthening (mid price 313ish) but still not out of the woods.

[lavagrouch] 04/10/2012 11:15

Sandbank - 'I suspect there's quite a lot of discounting going on to try to populate their transponders.'

looking at any of the announcements from AVN over the past year you would know this is not the case. They have been selling capacity at above originally anticipated rates.

topped up @ 302.60p, not unhappy.

[garymott] 04/10/2012 11:12

sandbank, AVN reported by RNS on 06/02/12 that "Almost at cash break-even after just eight months of HYLAS 1 service". Previous to this RNS, AVN has on several occasions reported that sales prices achieved have been higher than their business plan. Hylas 2 has almost three times the capacity, a lower cost base and a faster growing market.

[colva] 04/10/2012 11:06

Just bought a few at 308.74p

[sg31] 04/10/2012 11:05

I suspect there's quite a lot of discounting going on to try to populate their transponders.

Is that just your opinion or do you have any evidence?

[disc0dave] 04/10/2012 10:58

recovering?

[johncsimpson] 04/10/2012 10:57

This was about 10 minutes ago -



There is a support level about where we are now but other indicators show it doesn't have a lot of strength, but it just might do the trick in terms of holding.

[djmozy2] 04/10/2012 10:52

I used to live in South Africa and know how desperately Africa needs decent broadband. The local telecoms companies charge rip off prices for rubbish speeds. Avanti can charge far less for a far better service so its a no brainer. Have no doubts that they will fill up their capacity.

[sandbank] 04/10/2012 10:46

DJMOZY: It's nothing to do with how many satellites they have. The issue is can they deliver their service at a profit. I suspect there's quite a lot of discounting going on to try to populate their transponders. Let's hope they're signing contracts at above break-even prices.

[djmozy2] 04/10/2012 10:38

Just topped up. MMs up to their usual tricks. Looking for it to double in 12 months. Just plain wrong that its so cheap with two satelites off the ground.

[nightspot] 04/10/2012 10:36

I just had some more.
I think this fall is due to nervousness about wrongly perceived delay in RNS and that news next week will send these right back up.

[colva] 04/10/2012 10:34

strong support at 295p , if that holds we should get a nice bounce , a buying opportunity for the brave ?
