So this was known on friday and someone wanted stock at their price hence the mm's manipulation. Well done those who capitalised on that dip. A great start to the week.

Launch date set for HYLAS 1

Avanti Communications (AIM: AVN), the broadband satellite operator, is delighted to announce that the HYLAS 1 satellite has safely arrived at its launch site at the European Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. On site preparations for launch have now commenced and a date for launch upon an Ariane 5 launch vehicle has now been set for 25 November 2010.

Look at who has been involved:



Really, launching an attack on India's involvement is just silly.

There are risks and if you don't like them don't invest but don't try and say it's higher risk because it was tested in India.

sco77harris - I think it is 38 consecutive successes over a 6 year period next launch 28.10.10 - good enough for me

[sco77harris] 17/10/2010 11:35

yorgi what are the success rates for arian?

Quite upset i cant put more guaranteed spreads on with i.g its a perfect set up.

[yorgi] 17/10/2010 09:55

Avanti*-Share Price Comment

Avanti Communications* (AVN) shares are down this morning. Some folks are panicking. Panick not! The only bad news is that CEO David Williams won some award at the ghastly AIM awards dinner last night. On a more serious level it seems as if 600p was set as a Stop Loss level by some punters taking a short term view and so a slip through that has triggered a raft of small sales. Back to fundamentals....

I hear from a contact in the industry that the HYLAS 1 satellite arrived safe and sound in French Guyane 2 days ago. I have yet to verify this with the company but if my source is correct - and I believe this to be the case - then Avanti should announce within days an exact launch schedule for HYLAS 1 which should spark renewed interest. I fail to see how on a DCF basis this stock is worth anything at all this side of £10 and my stance at up to £7.50 remains "strong buy."'

wendsworth i think your are being overly pessimistic, it is true we have had a rise on launch information but why any who had wanted to sell due to risk i would of thought will of already done so, also there are a lot of share held by institutions which are holding for growth and will not sell prior to launch. look at how that friday dip got bought back up, im not saying we will rise into launch but im not sure well see below 550.

Also i am not worried about India, the CEO is a great guy and im sure he would not cut costs at the risk of having a failed product.

yorgi; Yesterday is a sign of things to come short term.

It is understandable for holders who have bought on the way up to in effect underwrite their positions as regards their retained holding.

As a result ..one has to anticipate AVN trading in the 500 to 550p range prior to launch. For that reason I wouldn't be 'topping-up' at current levels.

If the launch has technical problems , and one poster did compare the satellite with Blue Peter(!)and India isn't renowned for high quality, one has to accept that the share price will probable bomb down towards the 200 to 250p level. I have to confess that the Indian technology side worries me a bit having previously worked out there .

Its all about risk and reward ....'simples'!!!

Last week I purchased some mining shares.

Whilst not posting on the BB I noticed one of the long termers(lady poster) who stated that she was sorry to see the newcomers posting on the BB. I found this a very strange attitude because both negative and postive views provide a healthy balance and often provide a pointer to a little possible gem and what could lead to another ideal and happy investment.


So knnowing that there may be many PI's looking in here,long termers,who know so much about AVN and assist us so much will pernit me to post some links and old articles, which newbies, may not have the time and effort to DYOR!. ;-)

[sco77harris] 15/10/2010 16:14

could even finish positive at this rate :)

[jonnib] 15/10/2010 15:58

finally got my sip money through today and doubled my holding. Got 2500 at 583. didnt think id see below 600 again pre launch

[bongo bwana] 15/10/2010 15:22

I believe this will be very volatile during the next 19 days of trading prior to launch.

[dil] 15/10/2010 14:43

Spot on Count ... squeaky bum brigade have probably been scared out today. Gutted that I had to go out at 10 and only just got back and missed the sell off. Maybe we'll get another next week.

Good luck all.

[sco77harris] 15/10/2010 13:43

exactly we are now almost at the price prior to all the news, which make good value in my mind, any lower an even better other peoples fear is my gain

[yorgi] 15/10/2010 13:39

Just added a few more but have not got them at todays rock bottom price but somehow I don't think that will matter in a few weeks time

[sco77harris] 15/10/2010 13:28

50% of my aimed top up prior to launch just done

[the count] 15/10/2010 12:52

--->ALL

Or is it sqeaky bum time for many as we get closer to launch and they are not seeing the anticipated price appreciation?

Regards,

THE COUNT!
