I agree. Cant believe what's happened here - well anywhere for that matter!
Harbinger may struggle to get themselves in to a position to have a go at this for a while but still vulnerable to bids at this level.

[wad collector] 08/10/2008 20:56

This has got to now rate as an outrageous bargain at 350p.But unfortunately most of us don't have cash to spend I suspect.

Shorters target 498 achieved.
My buy limit order 508 went through at 505.5.
No manipulation in EOD auction

[enami] 24/9/2008 13:15

As noted last week there were 2 attempts to force the share price to ridculously low levels in the End Of Day Auctions, only the drop to 455 was successful (opened at 473 the next day).

Will be watching the closing auction today with a view to a buy tomorrow.

EDIT 50MA at 498 would be the shorters target I think

[andrewmcl] 24/9/2008 12:56

do you really think theyll get back to 508?

[enami] 24/9/2008 12:22

Hmmm yes - got my eye on 508ish to buy back the shares I sold Friday.

[andrewmcl] 24/9/2008 11:53

Nicely put! I'm thinking of wading in at this price!

[enami] 24/9/2008 11:34

Really getting hammered on the ex dividend drop today, day trading shorters attacking the weakest stocks I guess.
Hope that they leave their positions open and the Harbinger bid comes in later to fry them all.

Top sliced at 557 Friday.

[wad collector] 19/9/2008 17:41

OOOHH! Nice to see something in my portfolio significantly up on the year.

[enami] 19/9/2008 16:39

New ATH, ticked up 17p in the closing auction. Excellent.

[enami] 18/9/2008 22:12

Another Price Monitoring Extension in the closing auction today with the same attempt to force the price down to 455.
Closing UT ticked up 3p in the end to close at 500 - all very strange.

[enami] 17/9/2008 12:47

Aye Lehman went from 6.74% to less than 3% last week, I assumed that they had also disposed of the rest.
I expect there may be some heavy buying last thing Friday as FTSE100 tracker funds are forced to buy in here and maybe yesterday's closing auction has somthing to do with that.
Seems to me the contract announced yesterday was very good for the company.

[andrewmcl] 17/9/2008 12:20

I'm assuming there was some misunderstanding as to how the Lehman interest would be sold/distributed. This is a hold for me unless they have major technical problems. I think the only way is steady and up.

[wad collector] 17/9/2008 09:34

Something strange was going on last night as you say - bounced back this morning.Did somebody panic?

[enami] 16/9/2008 15:38

Looks a bit overdone today.
A contract announcement, entry to FTSE100 from next Monday and XD 12.13 US cents next Wednesday.

Topped up at 474

EDIT - a really bad closing auction with a massive 1.81 million sell at 455 knocked 30p off in the end. 61p down at the EOD. Manipulation, but why?

[wad collector] 12/9/2008 12:53

The header has become a bit of a misnomer now ; the yield at present is only 2.6% ; not much in todays market.It's the solid market position and future I like the look of.

[enami] 12/9/2008 12:36

Aye pushing ahead nicely today.
I have a profit slicing sell order at 555.

[wad collector] 12/9/2008 10:47

I do like the direction this has been heading in over the last few weeks ; I think I will sit on this for a long time.

[enami] 10/9/2008 17:20

So the company makes it into the FTSE100.
The change will be applied after the close of business on Friday, 19 September.

So the satellite probably works as well as in the right place.Excellent news, not sure whether reflected in share price today - the live feeds are down.Hopefully not a satellite problem!

[enami] 03/9/2008 18:58

Looks very positive this week.
Lehman buying lots of stock have gone from below 3% to 6.74%.

Almost certain FTSE100 entry at next week's review (Rank is based on close 9 Sep).

Currently in automatic entry position #88

[wad collector] 27/8/2008 14:26

Good - it stayed up.

"While we progress our S-band application, we will be pursuing the
commercial partnerships necessary to ensure the returns from the required
investment will generate acceptable returns on capital without undue risks or
uncertainties," said chairman and CEO Andrew Sukawaty


Why use so many words?

[enami] 18/8/2008 12:34

An intereting chart position, holding over the 50MA 485.4 and the dontrend line.

[enami] 18/8/2008 12:17

So the countdown for launch has begun.
You can track the launch here - scheduled 11:43 tonight.



Presumably the share price will jump or slump tomorrow morning depending on the success or failure of the launch

[enami] 05/8/2008 15:35

Interim results tomorrow
