Not that many people follow this board, However i thought I'd bore you folks anyways...At 20p a stock not expensive in my opinion...BATM's again i thought were a consideration, Quite rightly in the heedy old days I just couldn't afford them outright!

At only 20p the're worth it I think...cheap for the trolly...

Any holders, or followers from the heedy days...?

jules.

I phoned BVC although you can't seem to get their number (how do they do business?).

The number in the AGM statement takes you to financial Dynamics! They put me through to someone (anonymous) who said they had not yet issued a statement giving the date but it would probably be at the end of the month!

So we carry on waiting!

leave us hanging...and the rest...

Ive found some predictions for BVC results at:-
http://uk.biz.yahoo.com/z/b/bvc.l.html#cover

But they look as though they have got it all wrong!
BVC are not likely to make 16.24 next year! I suspect the decimal point needs a little adjustment & having looked at other companies, using the same site, it could be USD & not GBP! Even though they say otherwise!

You will doubtless note that 100% of the analysts agree! Thye always will ,except after a heavy night in the local winery, that might just be because there is only one.

I would add, that there seems to be a lot of news about increased activity & contracts in the telecoms world particularly in the US & Canada but I'm not sure if this will benefit BVC.

But browsing the BVC webs site might convince you one way or another.

Looks like BATM took over Telco Systems in 2000.
Telco news looks reasonable or just well presented!

16.24 per share is not a bad result! What is going on this morning? Every deal has been a buy but the price has gone down.

Thanks for all the info.

I find 16.24 p unbelievably high!

16.24 cents (where do they get all these silly decimal points) also seems too high to me. Sorry an excess of decimals points is one of my hobby horses. Usually they can't get the first figure correct, so how can they expect to be right about hundreths or thousandths of that. Grrr...

I don't trust these analysts. With all the grief in the industry over the past year or so I would be happy with a reduced loss of say 8p.

I think the future looks much rosier.

Some news items to support that view but not specifically about BAT Man:

What we need now is a date for those results, we should see a notice today I would have thought. I'll just check before posting this.
No!
Nothing yet!

Red, be careful, they will find out where Tracy Island is, if you keep talking about them ;)

Red Underwing Thats right 26th September...Hopefully a new high from here onwards...26/27+ would be newbreakout...any thoughts for next week..?

Jules99.

Looking at the chart through my crystal ball I think 27/28 is achievable. 27.7 it say here ;-)

But what happens if they turn in a loss of say 10P/share (the downside). I can't see the price holding.

If the loss is 1p & an upbeat statement concerning trading & contracts & prospects, then the price should carry on up.

A modest profit & an upbeat outlook would see them fly IMO.

I'd prefer not to take the risk & would be happy to exit with any sort of profit. I need 23.7p to break even.

I'll consider a limit sale sometime into the week!

The risks on this are extreme imo. Fwiw, I believe a reversion to 7p is on the cards versus 70p+ on a breakout through 30p from these levels (23-25p).

From the Indy on Saturday
http://news.independent.co.uk/business/market_report/story.jsp?story=445179

Traders moved into fellow telecom equipment group BATM Advanced Communications, pushing its shares 3.25p to 23.75p. "Given the re-rating we have seen at Spirent in recent weeks, a similar trend may well be on the cards at BATM", said one trader. The stock is underpinned by 11p a share of cash on its balance sheet and is expected to posts interim results next Friday.

The answer is NO.

Price appears to be turning positive ...suspision is BATM'S could be the silent surprise of the week...

+3% at noon...

Well tomorrow the results! I hope they are good.
Meanwhile a couple of news items I hadn't seen before.

From the Optical keyhole site:
http://www.opticalkeyhole.com/keyhole/html/cosearch.asp?coid=322&coname=BATM+Advanced+Communications+Ltd&subs=0

Looking up BVC I found these two news headlines, which I have not seen on any other less specialised news feed.

I can't read the body without subscribing & at 125 USD a week I don't think I will! Although its only 275 USD for a month.
