......the problem is that when it gets down to £3.00ps, who is to say it won't drop to £2.00ps? Everybody thought the bottom was £5, then £4 and now we're heading towards £3....and pretty quickly...

The time to buy is when nobody else wants to. And yet I am really struggling to find a reason to buy back in. Their great hope seems so distant from fruition that technology may have moved on by the time it becomes reality.

Is Inmarsat being set up for a low bid ? I've seen it before, trash the price, then come in with a lower bid.

Iridium make their money by having emergency sat phones in the drawers of first responders...

Use Iridium today it is good for emergency sat phone not much else you cannot have all sat comms from a single provider , Imnarsat is the best for all sat coms and internet has speeds and coverage required for world wide trading and this has been the case for many years not much has changed.

Teslar has had difficulties producing cars how many years will it take for them to get coverage worldwide do you think ,at a guess most of the present fleet of ships afloat today will have been turned into razor blades.

They should have cancelled all dividends rather than let the share price slide further into the abyss and getting further into debt.

I also noticed that some of their so called "partners" seem to be recommending Iridium as a preferred satellite purchase. Maybe they are not tied to one service provider and can recommend their own choice or is it a case of more commission paid by Iridium ?

Whatever the reason, it certainly does not look good when Inmarsat refer you to their partners only to be told Iridium is a more suited choice for your needs.

......and let's not forget the $1.5bn debt either......

June 2005 IPO InmarsatSummary of the Global Offer •Indicative price range of 215p to 245p per share, valuing the Company's equity at £1,089 million following the Global Offer (at the midpoint of the offer price range).The offer was well received i seem to remember and the price moved swiftly towards 3 quid......a price we might well be about to revisit.....but we must not forget the dividends !

...all they've got to look forward to is a bigger loss here.......

[badger60] 03/4/2018 13:15

......Zap and Mongo would love to be able to offset their losses here ....if they had a profit elsewhere to do it against....

Share price seems to be heading the same path as the Chinese space station that crashed to earth over the weekend. Falling, falling and falling without a parachute in sight.

Seems pointless in hanging on for the dividend, may as well take losses now and offset this tax year against gains in other companies.

You can either sell some Ophir and buy ISAT, or sell some ISAT and buy Ophir. It's very difficult to judge which option loses you the least amount of money...........or you could sell both and buy Avanti.......which will give you a whole new experience........what it's like to make money in the stock market......

I need to move some things around... Should have some free cash after April the 5th.Good luck with your investments!

[badger60] 03/4/2018 09:49

What price are you looking to buy more ISAT Zap? I don't want you crying in a month's time when AVN is trading in the 20p's, 30p's, 40p's.....or maybe even bought out .........and ISAT has slumped to sub 3quid a share......

[zcaprd7] 03/4/2018 09:26

Can only sell them at that price and that volume... Ouch.Meanwhile, in the real world, with normal people ... Still weak here, presumably because of the ffc and musk?

[philipo1] 03/4/2018 08:39

Chart looks amazing?

[badger60] 03/4/2018 08:37

Look at the trades, numbnuts....a huge 14 shares sold at 10.75p.....followed by 23k bought at 12.95p and then 5k bought at 12.75p.They do not want too attract buyers hence they leave the share price at 10.75p (which is blatant misinformation).

[zcaprd7] 03/4/2018 08:24

10% down at your one mate... And they'll never pay a dividend.

[badger60] 03/4/2018 08:22

Oh well Zap......the good news is that if it carries on like this, it won't be too long before you'll be able to double up at £3.00ps......

[badger60] 03/4/2018 05:41

....... certainly not many that you're invested in.......

[zcaprd7] 30/3/2018 18:16

Indeed, how many companies in their list pay a dividend at all?

The Daily Telegraph should stick to its knitting and not report on anything outside of the Royal Family.
