The main points at the Year end results were:
* Strong cash position: $55.2 m and no borrowings (2001: $56.6m)
* Significant R&D program maintained
* General and administrative overheads reduced by 37% - in line with strategy
* Awarded an exclusive contract with a leading regional Bell operating company in H2
* Won first major contract for VOIP platform in the US

The company is increasing its presence in several markets which have substantial potential, including the Far East and despite the recent decline in revenues, they are now serving more customers in more countries than ever before.

Dr Zvi Marom, Chief Executive has ensured the company is debt free and cash rich. He has kept a tight control on expenditure and been very smart as to whom he chose to do business with.

The high speed Internet business just taking off and systems have to be upgraded to take up high data load and telcos simply need equipment’s made by makers like BATM.

With time, Financial Institutions will seek out companies which represent good value and strong potential in terms of their growth and BATM is one such company.

BATM shares are trading at cash position 8.50p but at half their NAV of 17p, with all this good points, and the trend on the chart is definitely on the up since the start of April, time to get on board. Dates -- News

What goes down MUST go UP

The Share price is not in a hurry to move forward too fast, but sure there are too many things by now, pointing to better things to come:

Level 2 is highy positive today

"O" trade buys are back

Indicators pointing a change of direction

Results due next month and are going to be very good as the company anticipated

The P E for a company on the TECHNOLOGY business, making large profits paying dividend and having a large cash $60M (10.6p) is just above 4 seriously DERISORY

BULLISH HAMMER

Type: Reversal
Relevance: Bullish
Prior Trend: Bearish

Definition:
The Bullish Hammer Pattern is a significant candlestick that occurs at the bottom of a trend or during a downtrend and it is called a hammer since it is hammering out a bottom. The Bullish Hammer Pattern is a single candlestick pattern and it has a strong similarity to the Bullish Dragonfly Doji Pattern. In the case of Bullish Dragonfly Doji Pattern, the opening and closing prices are identical whereas the Bullish Hammer Pattern has a small real body at the upper end of the trading range.

Recognition Criteria:
1. The market is characterized by a prevailing downtrend.
2. Then we see a small real body at the upper end of the trading range. Color of this body is not important.
. We would like to see the lower shadow at least twice as long as the real body.
4. There is no (or almost no) upper shadow.

Important Factors:
If the hammer is characterized by a close above the open thus causing a white body, the situation looks even better for the bulls.

       

Yesterday on in Shares Magazine:

"In an effort to build a digital economy, President Obama wants to improve Americas broadband network, and increase funding for information technology (IT) and computers in schools. BATM Advanced Communications (BVC), the leading manufacturer of the routers and switches needed for high-speed broadband to work, is likely to benefit from this goal. Spirent (SPT) is another potential beneficiary, as part of its operations test"

"The leading supplier of routers and switches for high-speed broadband saw its shares slump to from 60p to 26p as top line momentum decelerated towards the end of 2008. Shares in telecoms equipment manufacturers have been hit hard by the economic slowdown, but BATM is a well-run company with $60 million of cash in the bank. Januarys trading statement advised 2008 revenues will exceed $132 million, translating to a year-on-year 35% rise. And with both the US and UK governments having committed to nationwide broadband roll-outs, BATM should certainly be among the winners. (JF)"

The owner of someone buying lately with the large trades has a name now ......... Investec

Small Cap snapshot: Investec starts investing -- By Rob Mackinlay
Wednesday 4 February, 2009

According to the funds most recent factsheet, it also has three per cent invested in FTSE Small Cap, BATM Advanced Communications.

According to the Financial Express database of 56,000 funds, BATM is held by seven funds. It is the biggest holding in Gartmore UK & Irish Smaller Companies as well as Gartmore Smaller Companies PLC. The second biggest holding in Gartmore Growth Opportunities.

It is also in the top ten holdings of
JOHCM UK Growth, Smith & Williamson UK Special Situations, and CF Techinvest Technology.

However BATM has seen its share price tumble 60 per cent since September last year. Rodrigs said: "Ive held BATM for several years because it is one of the leading players in next generation telecom equipment based on IP technology. Basically telecom companies need to rip out their old inefficient ATM equipment to put in IP technology to stay competitive. It enables lower costs which benefits both the telco and the customer."

He added: "BATM had a breakthrough year in 2008 with sales growing circa 60 per cent in the first-half. Unfortunately investors fear the worst due to the macro problems even though the evidence is that BATM has massively outperformed the peer group by comfortably delivering 08 expectations. I took profits at that point so it is no longer my largest holding, and subsequently weve seen some aggressive selling which suggests there might be a forced seller due to redemptions. This looks to be coming to an end leaving the stock looking very attractive with half the market cap in cash leaving the business on c3x p/e underlying."

it seems at the moment Both Magazines are Highly positive about BVC.
They are not alone, as I am trying hard to highlight the level at which the shares are undervalued at the moment.

As expresed on the past, the INDICATOR - Slow stochastic - works pretty well for the timing on the bounce ( short term )

Is now reaching the point of OVERSOLD, so a matter of time for the bounce, that at the same time could be the famous " Double Bottom " acting together.

Take a look at ENK Master and tell me what you think.

They've got the planning permission and the sp is 70% up. Will this continue?

As the L2 is strong the share price is already bouncing now 24.25 / 24.50p

With a bit of luck the CANDLESTICK could be positive also, I would go for a HAMMER

dealerdear

re -ENK

The good news got the share price moving fast and now has double for the last 2 weks, it may continue a bit higher tomorrow, but expect some profit taking once again, specialy on this times.
The longer term chart looks good for the future

You have to make up your mind if is short term or long term your investment

Many thanks

The Famous " Double Bottom " outlined on the CHART

A good spike on the volume today, and the positive point is the share price is rising.

A very lucky closing price, and the way for a "bullish reversal pattern" once again, after the last two "BULLISH HARAMI"
were bullish and just needed a third day to close higher like today to give us a .........
