Hello Share Trouncers. From time to time I’ve commended the Footsie satellite king Inmarsat (ISAT) to your further researches. It did very well - for a time. Though Uncle Tom weighed in at one stage, wondering about the company's prospects...
Hello Share Pals. I’ve been holding fire over the British space firm Inmarsat (ISAT) recently. And that’s not just because my more intelligent colleague Tom has been critical of my earlier commendations. It’s some time since Tom commented on Inmarsat, so I’m not sure he holds to his earlier critique which held that satellite communication was no longer the encouraging sector than it once was...
Hello Share Chewers, Though Uncle Tom is not a fan, I feel confident enough to bring Inmarsat (ISAT) to your attention again. It’s in a recovery orbit and, as I write, its shares are up another 10%. And after hours on Friday we discovered why..
Malcolm Stacey is old enough to know about King Canute. In fact he is so old that he was there as a boy when the King sat in his chair on the beach and attempted to turn back the tide. Malcolm surely you remember the day as if it was yesterday? In which case why do you forget this valuable lesson when it comes to Inmarsat (ISAT) and your article today in which you misquote me and get it wrong in so many other ways.
Hello Share Scoopers. There have been quite a few occasions now that I’ve commended a Footsie satellite company to your attention. On each mention, as I recall, the share grew in value. However, last year the shares took a big knock.

Hello Share Squeezers. I have been a big fan of Inmarsat (ISAT) the big satellite company. Over the last few years, it has made me loadsamoney. But as Uncle Tom rightly said a few months ago, the story has since changed to the company’s detriment. And the shares have lost a third of their value over the last half year.
Hello Share Stumpers. Today I return to the space-age firm of Inmarsat (ISAT) the satellite company that goes where no man has been before. That’s probably over-egging the pudding, as there is some competition for what it does, which is arrange the launching of communications satellites into space. I have had my shares a long time and have seen my investment rocket. However, there was a glitch at the end of last week when the company revised its revenue expectations. The shares were down about 14% at one point
Hello Share Fadists. My favourite company in outer space is Inmarsat (ISAT). Yes, I know there aren’t many to choose from.
Hello Share Wingers. You probably know by now that I’m usually very glad to support shares where the potential is all in the future. This is why I’m a fan of biotech companies, which are trying something new. The risks are big because the pitfalls, including the fear of failure and tough licensing stipulations.

Hello Share Peddlars. Quite a few of my favourite shares are tickling new highs. If it were not for the fall of oilers and the continuing problems of banks, the Footsie would now be far higher than its all-time zenith.
Hello Share Swogglers. Have you noticed how much interest there is in space travel at the mo?
Hello Share Mashers: Inmarsat (ISAT) is a great British space-age techno company – but not as we know it, Jim. You may recall lots in the news about Inmarsat earlier this year. They were the ones who were looking for bits of wrecked plane in that big missing aircraft tragedy.
Hello share people. A few years ago, I was asked by a well-known broker to write a TV script to analyse the prospects of an unusual British company.
