What's happening here - the volume has increased massively today. Am I missing something in the air - anybody got any news?

bingobingham, read post 182 by guysands on RTD-Why? thread by Nitefly.
It gives a very interesting insight as to the tricks that are played by the shrewdies.

In this hour of gloom you ZOO believers should be topping up. Not worrying!

Hi Guysands,

I read your post on rules off mms manipulating stock prices. I'd like to paste it on another board. I'll mention your name as source. Is this ok?

Yes - paste away, although I am not the author!

I also lifted it from another BB but I was invited to post it elsewhere if I wanted.

Their Nov 19 statemement is - in my opinion - Very positive

Hi mate

First reply and first time on this message board for me?
just scanning texts and clocked ZOO, I bought a few shares in zoo in sept03 happy with progress however missed out on selling at 18.00p now worried what to do, buy more or sell and wait for further news?

Today

Additional Listing
Number of shares in issue following admission of 43,750 now is 224,268,426

what does it mean for Zoo? can you pls analyse the situation

Hi,I usually only supply the LATEST info for interested readers to analyse.
Sometimes I give an Opinion - if I have time.

NTK98, it means there is more shares in issue so therefore there is dilution of any future dividends, in other words 1 share will attract less divi. There is also the effect it can have on demand and supply for the shares, and therefore the price, ie, if theres far more shares in existence and on one day supply is greater than demand we are likely to see a price fall (in genersl terms as MMs dont ever work that way).

The good news and this is my opinion, is that the extra funding/working capital they have raised will bring forth the International partner they have been seeking. In other words funds are in place for things to get started and get very interesting. I feel the plusses far outweigh the minuses.

cheers GF.

thanks GF.

I have that feeling as well. I still hold ZOO. But need to ask because have seen recently so many negative comments on AFN, some are quite abus., so they are less trustable for me. I am still thinking this is a good stock, await for news before Xmas or March.

Pls allow me for asking an other question outside this ZOO, but has to do with stock amount dilution\placing. It is about AZN. Reagrdless very good news and long term good product price falling, some say because of the AZN's own purchase to cancelling sometime 400K, 500K of shares and continueing. IMO, ist is the opposit of a share placing, additional listing or share dilution, so it should have a positive effect but I could not understand the falling price accmpanied all those news. Could you spare sometime to explain it and remove your explanation from this thread after one day because AZN does not belong to here if you want.

I am very sorry about this question, but I could not ask you for your valuable opinion else where neutral regards AZN. I am waiting for the AZN bounce at SMA25 2700p to come in for short\medium term. Would you think its ok?

My appology to all the board members

Hi again ntk98.I read my post again and now feel it looks I was unhelpful.
I did not mean it that way.aj

ajren,

do not worry, ajren, please keep up your good work. GF has eplained already, he is one of my great admirer

the placing price of 10 1/2p on zoo new placing is bound to bring the price lower,but give it a month or two and you will see yourself making a nice profit on this company,if you go to the zoo site you will see they have just won yet another award this week for innovation,i think this company will soar, so have patience

You just hit the nail on the head with this one ake144 - patience is the key. The best things in life are worth waiting for!

Nice article in 'The Eye' magazine with todays Times, highlighting what they describe as 'a new breed of family games' Here are a few quotes for anyone that might have missed it...


-----------------------
Later this month, Universal releases 'who wants to be a millionaire' and 'interactive championship challenge', the launch titles in the worlds first range of DVD games

"We realised that a couple of years ago that DVD was establishing itself as the fastest growing consumer platform" explains Andy Scrivener of Zoo Digital, Which Developed DVD Extra. "By 2006, hardware penetration is projected to be 75% in North America and Western Europe; those are mouth watering numbers for people like us. But, although many households were purchasing DVD players, they weren't being used for any kind of interactive entertainment"

The DVD Extra format is limited to titles that involve players making a choice. But Scrivener still identifies a host of future directions, from pre-school learning aids and language courses to simulated driving theory tests. On the entertainment side, the likeliest bets lok to be traditional board games and Dungeons and Dragons style adventures.

Of course, it remains to be seen whether DVD Extra has legs. But surely anything that might liven up the in-laws this Christmas is worth a go!
