Glad to see the profit taking followed by recovery today. Every stock has to pause for breath. All looks perfectly healthy to me.

A lot of people are long from the issue price last week of £2.45, and many of the initial backers own shares from well below that.

It is hardly surprising to see some profit taking along the way, given that the rise since it listed has been rather rapid.

Thanks for your research Andrbea, it all sounds positive.

Any idea why the drop today?

The demand from institutions is insatiable.

Nice one Crowsoft!

[andrbea] 28/6/2005 12:46

and this too (sorry if it's been posted before)

[andrbea] 28/6/2005 12:44

Bought in today on the basis of that Daily Telegraph piece.

Dredged up this too (press release from Telenor)

"Telenor Preparing to Offer New Global Satellite Service

Business Editors/Technology Editors

OSLO, Norway & ROCKVILLE, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 14, 2005- - Telenor Will Begin Distribution of Inmarsat Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) Service on Day One of Commercial Availability; Migration of Services to New Inmarsat I-4 Satellite Has Begun

Telenor Satellite Services continues to make preparations to begin offering Inmarsat's Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) the day Inmarsat makes it commercially available."

[whipround] 28/6/2005 09:33

I don't think they invest in traditional markets. IMVVHO I think Telenor will at some stage bid for this company, they have 10% and from their website seem to be acquisitive. Just a question of time really.

[whipround] 28/6/2005 09:08

Pensioners at bridge clubs do not move shares 5%.

[chester] 28/6/2005 08:38

yes, i bought a few myself.

[martingb] 28/6/2005 08:31

Great start this morning!

[ygor705] 27/6/2005 20:31

Word slowly getting about that this is a cash cow with a fat dividend. Even the pensioners at my Bridge Club were talking about it this morning!!!
