This is a BUY tip from Tom Winnifrith...

Sorry if this is rather boring as the market cap is now c 350 million but at 470p Avanti Communications (AVN) - a stock held in the SF t1ps Growth Fund - is really very cheap whichever way you look at it. It is now funded to launch 3 satellites into space ( and fully insured if the worst happens which will only delay the programme by 6 months anyway). You value Avanti by discounting back the net cashflows these satellites will generate. That depends on how much capacity is sold and at what price. Use a model based on very conservative assumptions and this stock is worth 13 ( the lowest valuation in the market). But that model uses assumptions about sales prices which are already being beaten by forward sales Avanti is booking today. Use those prices and you head up to the 22.50 value of house broker Cenkos. My own view is that Avanti will do better still and this stock could therefore be worth 25. Exc itement will mount as the first satellite is launched later this year. Remember those valuations are the Net Present Value of future cashflows ( i.e. what they are worth today). If you can buy at under 600p ( as you can now) you should do so and sit back and wait. I suspect after HYLAS 1 is launched you will never again be able to buy at less than 600p.

KimAs you know the market never does what is expectedotherwise we would all get what we wantedequalling total demand and no supply.we call foul when the MMs deceivecall for a stewards inquirybut end of the day.they have to balance the booksbastards!

:o)

Needs to announce its transfering to main market that'll sort things.

It certainly should help Dil!

Trend line support around this level, if it doesn't hold 540/550 seems the next support level.

More good publicity.

HYLAS 1 is a hybrid Ka-band/Ku-band satellite, offering interactive broadband services to 23 countries across Europe. Built by British-based company Avanti

Peter.what a difference a day makes Interim Results for the six month period ended 31 December 2010 this Mondayimothe only way is up lol

Like I said..........trend line support.

Peter.thats why I dont take much notice of chartsfall or rise last Friday and you post would have read correct.it might rain today? If not.. it will stay dry

Tabasco, as an ex bookmaker you should recognise the probabilities of trading or investing, charts and even the simplest of trendlines can tip the probability in your favour.

Incidentally I am not a tipster and generally offer positives and negatives; on my own account I may take a position based on that info but not post the fact. If you want a buy or selll recommendation, follow the likes of Hyleo, although I suspect you will be potless in short order :)

Simon Cawkwell (aka Evil Knievel) shorting it apparently, thinks the revenue figures don't stack up.
