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!

chad - 15 Apr 2005 10:10 - 1078 of 3776

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.

Poverty - 15 Apr 2005 10:35 - 1079 of 3776

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........

iPublic - 15 Apr 2005 11:11 - 1080 of 3776

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!

016622 - 15 Apr 2005 12:13 - 1081 of 3776

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.

proptrade - 15 Apr 2005 12:22 - 1082 of 3776

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.

iPublic - 15 Apr 2005 12:46 - 1084 of 3776

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?

willfagg - 15 Apr 2005 13:32 - 1085 of 3776

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!!!!

iPublic - 15 Apr 2005 13:44 - 1086 of 3776

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

Then decide.

iPublic - 15 Apr 2005 15:02 - 1087 of 3776

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

Mathew Horsman, director of research at consultancy Mediatique, appears to possess the required experience and attributes.

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!

iPublic - 15 Apr 2005 15:26 - 1090 of 3776

"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!!!

brain2brain - 15 Apr 2005 16:47 - 1091 of 3776

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.

chad - 15 Apr 2005 17:13 - 1092 of 3776

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.

iPublic - 15 Apr 2005 17:27 - 1093 of 3776

LOL

Chad, that's strange, I feel YOO has short term potential!

Each to his own!

chad - 15 Apr 2005 17:33 - 1094 of 3776

LOL. Yes it does, to go down or sideways that is. I do honestly wish you luck with YOO iPublic as you deserve it, but for me YOO has lost me enough money already. As I said, I may get back into YOO at a later date but the market just isnt giving YOO a good reception at the moment.
Good luck all.

iPublic - 15 Apr 2005 17:54 - 1095 of 3776

chad

Good luck to YOO!

Remember, one piece of news and sentiment can change, example, 18th June 2003!

I'll stick with Perpetual!

moneyplus - 15 Apr 2005 18:01 - 1096 of 3776

I'm with you ipublic--presently well down on my holding but added a few and I'm prepared to wait. I agree the market doesn't like them at the moment but I sometimes wonder what they do for brains--too much beer etc!! Pxc had excellent results--not a flicker in sp. Yoo looks very promising eventually!!
