I believe the YOO board have an ace up their sleeves.
Leo Noe is SO rich and he owns 12.6m shares already so,
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/richlist/person/0%2C%2C33777%2C00.html
Monday morning board meeting.
Docherty: "The price is down again today boys, what can we do? Our secret commercial projects won't be ready for RNS until June and all the retail shareholders are losing confidence. Lloyds have been on the phone threatening an 18m dump 'at best' unless we do something! I would buy some, but I've the mortgage, three kids, credit cards.......and anyway who will be impressed with my 8k savings in ING?"
Sinclair "Well I own 24m anyway, so I've done my bit and I need all my spare cash, so I can donate money to charity on a regular basis, because I'm a great guy"
Bainbridge "I own a few million, including my deferment shares. I've got my new girlfriend to keep and I'm not selling anyway until 2010 because thats when I predict Yoomobile will hit 10% capacity, producing 150m revenue and 100m a year profit for our division. What more do you want me to do? I send out positive vibes because I don't sell and by the way, here are another 15 business wins for Yoomobile, I agreed yesterday"
Leo Noe "Well I suppose I could buy a few more. I've got that 54m profit I made last year, from those shopping centres I sold, in my e-savings account. How about I buy 400k now, which is only 60k and my wife spands more than that on hair appointments every month."
Docherty "Leo that's a great idea"
Leo Noe "Yes David, I already own 12m and can afford to support the price, whenever I feel like it. We are all agreed we can't afford to let the market cap drift below 60m, as it damages are ability to make future, earnings enhancing aquisitions. Listen, I'll set aside 3m for emergencys and everytime the cap falls below 60m or 13p, I'll step in with another 400k buy and up she goes. With a 3m fund to play with, I could do this for months until we hit our 0.8p EPS target"
Huge amounts of clapping and cheering fill the boardroom!
"Bainbridge, yes but remember I'm talking to those European broadcasting networks, over licensing out our patented, time stamping technology, for 500k a year! 9 operators called ne this morning, so that's 4.5m of revenue for Solutions, so the EPS will be 1.8p for this year. Trigger says the market will give us a PE of 35, so it's 50p+ by year end"

Liked the dialogue at YOO! There was also a dialogue at Shares.
Jeremy Lacey: "Its that Robson guy again pointing out that we got it wrong about YOO haemorraging cash. Can't lose face by printing that, we might haemorrage readers."
Timon Day: "I know, we'll print a results summary and mark YOO as a hold. Not quite a volte face and the price has dropped anyway because those iditic readers sold at rock bottom prices".
John Marshall: "And we've got that earlier letter from Robson singing my praises and asking for an ASOS update and nominating SEO as the ASOS of 2005 - not too late to print that."
Jeremy Lacey: "Great thinking fellows - buy us a bit of time for a rethink in YOO based on the next bit of positive news."
Really useful, this ability to sit as a fly on the wall, provided I remember to zipp it up!

Wondering what the significance of that full stop is on post 1159. Lost for words, but thought you should still do a post? Flown off to visit the YOO wall and just left a calling card? Erased a sequence of expletives?
Eric - somewhat non-plussed!

YOO are providing all the Solutions services for the television channel GameInTV, due to be rebranded PokerzoneTV, very soon. YOO are also launching timestamping mobile games and SMS services on the channel, including mobile services, aimed at Poker fans, players, as advertised on the channel lately.
The website is not YOO, but the television channel is. Successful iTV projects, are all about developing partnerships in the industry.
In a few years, YOO will be running dozens of channels on Sky, for third party operators, for share of the revenue. In FY 2003, DITG received 6.2m for providing Solutions services to the TGC (both now owned by YOO) so with the very high margins involved, it's not difficult to imagine the effect on the SP in a couple of years.

I continue to admire the loyalty and belief of you folk with YOO, my issue was losing money to the Directors greed, not the potential of YOO.
The Company was notified on 18 April 2005 that on the same day Leo Noe acquired
400,000 ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the Company ('Ordinary Shares') at a
price of 13p per Ordinary Share. Following this acquisition, Leo Noe has a
beneficial interest in 13,000,000 Ordinary Shares, representing 2.8 per cent of
the current issued share capital.
Got his shares well inside the spread, nice one.
I suppose it shows belief but these directors sure know every means to get their share of cheap shares.
Good Luck folks, you deserve to reap your rewards in the future and I hope you that you do.
