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...?

Red Underwing

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 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).

up 15% friday...this week the chart looks excellent...

stormy ride mind you..

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.

hey RED,

Now thats looks very promising, I hope this news is popular...tomorrow/today shall we say...

:-)

Minus 13% doesn't look very good. Is this just because the rest of the market is retreating or is it time to jump. I see that a few more people are buying than selling but not a lot.

Promises, promises promises. Time they performed, broadband has boomed for 12 months but there's nothing in their figures to suggest that they're getting any real business. Too small for major telco managers to risk installing their products I'd guess.

Red, sorry my post 46 was a bit short and unfortunately has been borne out by events today - mid 20.25 (range 20.75-18.00 on 1.2mio shares traded, gapped down).

I'm a stock tape reader and my comments were based entirely on my analysis of the stock's behaviour. Sadly, I find most analysts material far too optimistic for the times in which we live and fundamental analysis on most TMT's is almost always impossible to accurately corroborate in relation to companies in these sectors but outside the ftse100 - Batm is no exception.

The Co. does have a good business model and competent management and technical excellence in its niche. Fact is Batm do not control the marketplace in which they operate.

I believe conditions will improve for them, albeit slowly. I believe Batm represents value again at 7-8p. I have no long/short lines in Batm.

Best wishes,
TomL..:>)
