OK! Will do so when I get back in this evening, nicely inebriated with a good red wine. My size is middling; my investments are middling; but hopefully I punch above my weight!

Thanks a lot Eric.

1) Until such time as there is some form of track record upon which to rate the new enlarged business the price will remain volatile.

2) Retail find reading Shares Magazine easier to understand than financial results & brokers notes.

3) The price should drift further when more people have had a chance to pick up Shares Magazine.

4) EVO may still have a very large overhang.

5) There may be a large amount of institutional shares to be sold above the 15p mark and this may be making it difficult to increase the share price.

6) To remain competitve the company will need to take whatever steps are necessary.

7) 21m turnover & 1m paid in bonuses????? Bonuses should be paid out of profits.

8) It is not Shares Magazine who set the price.

9) IMO what was said in Shares Magazine contradicts what the chairman had to say. Shares Magazine therefore, IMO, do not belive what the chairman has said.

The Gull

I agree in general terms to what you say however Shares Mag have made the comments with no detailed backup. Given that previously they rated YOO as a buy they have a duty to their readers and investors to explain the comments they made. Their opinion is rapidly becoming a joke. I believe that YOO are in at the start of the digital revolution and I am holding my shares.

No smoke without fire in my opinion! YOO need to release some news to counter the Shares story - otherwise it looks like they are right. YOO have been far tooo quiet in the last 3 months.

It's all very well buying every company in sight but they do need to work their butts of to make it work - I don't know how focused the directors are on making this a winner.

I am selling the bastard things for the last time! - Maybe I will nibble again below 10p which is where these crummy things are headed!

Thats it, Im out with the biggest loss I have ever incurred. But this one is only going to go down or sideways at the best in the short term. May dip back in later if things brighten up. Sometimes you just have to swallow your pride and bite the biscuit.

I sold my remaining YOO just now and bought more SEO. YOO (POO) Media has cost me an absolute packet! I have lost loads on them.

I don't like the way this share looks and I don't find it easy to have faith in the directors for many many reasons....

Good bye YOOmedia - you can't hurt me any more now........

An excellent contrarian sign!

Poverty

You are choosing to ignore facts I've already posted, including the e.mail from FD. With the directors owning 25%, there hard work is assured!

Chad

Bear markets can get to you, I know.

Good luck to your both.

When my funds of 14600 arrive in my SIPP in two weeks, I will place the lot in YOO. The market forecast is for EPS 2006 2P, A 50% miss will STILL give a SP of 30p, assuming a PE of 30. A hit and it's 60p.

If you can't wait, that's very disappointing.

Why did you sell, apart from the fact they are falling? That is no reason!

you've been ramping these up (or down!) from 30p
falling sp is exactly the right reason to sell
there is no point in holding YOO shares until the trend changes
why sit on a losing bet when you can hop on a winner...
unless you cant cut your losses....in which case, you're in the wrong game.

look, lets be realistic. the sp is sliding but there is a story there.

what we need to see is some followup announcements and a repeat of the 8million revenue stream this month.

once we are looking at an annualised 100m t/o with growth and an ebita and cash flow positive company then the valuation may indeed be cheap right now.

focus on this...the area they operate in is relatively embryonic. we all have sky and have all, at some time pressed the red button (football first for match choice and nothing on the naughty channels!).

this is the start of something and i just think that to get the sp moving we just need to see revenues and prospects matching a fairly large sp. this is a catch the falling knife senareo BUT once these start to climb on tangible numbers then i think that low will be a multi year low going forward.

one mans simple and humble spiel who is thinking about a chunky investment.

I agree
and once the share price moves upwards YOO will be a good long.
until then...its a brilliant short.

01622

Yes, but which winner? How do you know it's a winner in advance? What happens if what you buy falls and YOO rise? Then you are stuffed! What about stamp duty?

so how much further have they got to fall? I am dissappointed that it is going to be a very long term investment to make my fortune but was considering averaging down. That is , assuming we are at the bottom now, and of course i am assuming Shares Mag do not have any more articles planned!!!!

Concern yourself with the current valuation, set off against future projected EPS and risk.

Then decide.

Mediatique provided the growth forecasts, which formed part of EVO's projections, leading to EPS 0.8p & 2p.

Poverty & Chad

You have committed the classic retail error. Selling your shares cheap to the institutions.

Not to late to change your mind.

You can only take a horse to the water, but you can't make it drink!

"29 December 2004 by Perpetual Income & Growth Investment Trust plc that they are the beneficial owner of 17,137,500 ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company, representing 3.80 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company."

Todays's news adds another 750k so 17,137,500 + 750k = 17887500 shares.

However, PIGIT is the beneficial owner of 18,887,500.

Where did the other 1m come from?

This is NOT the first time, Perpetual have been buying in the market!!!

Well its down again today but it did make some recovery. The whole of the small caps market looks red, so perhaps this isn't too bad a result.

B2B

I agree entirely with 016622. There is logic in leaving money in falling stock, even if you think it may have good prospects in the future. In the case of YOO the market has been shown the 'good' news and has responded negatively. Maybe its just YOO's stinking reputation that puts people off. I may well get into YOO again in the future if it starts to perform but until then Im gunna recouperate my losses on some stocks that have good short term potential.
