willfagg: great sentiments re the pinot noir. But at 13:40? Could be on a drunk in charge of skatebaord (DICOS) charge - very serious! Almost as serious as being a holder of YOO shares! How long is your faith, mp?

maybe I am looking for share price movements to be too scientific? This coulsd just be a lot of guys who like us thought YOO was the next shooting star deciding that in the short term their money will make more invested elsewhere, which i dont disagree with.I think this is now medium/long play with exceptional potential.

what peeves me is that i did not get in at 13p!I would be ecstatic!

Any ideas what is happening on this one? Lots of sells but no buying and a fairly static price? No news either. Are the MM's going long or is a bigger invester waiting to mop up? Any views out there?

I suspect that the reason for the lacklustre performance is primarily the general attitude to the AIM market at present. Down the last couple of trading days whereas the FT100 is steady. Results and trading statment were OK but relatively unexciting, although more credence should have been given to the first month of positive trading in March. Even Evolution are damning with faint praise by giving a 'Weak Buy' signal as do the only other broker forecasting. Can't see why MMs need to take any position as they will have much more active shares. Also suspect that YOO needs time to get some positive figures under its belt which may be a Q satement in July.

Thanks for that Eric. Definate novice here trying hard to learn to read the markets

It is a complex scenario. I think one of the basic principles is to look at the market, preferably the segment such as AIM, and then look at the individual share against it. So YOO chart is very similat to that for the AIM market and will recover either because the amrket recovers or there is good news which separated it from the market. Interesting to look at SEO, current market darling, which has been trading sideways for two or three weeks but is actually very strong against the AIM market. A company actually moving ahead at the moment, both against the market and in absolute terms, is Interregnum (ITR): on very good news which is not properly reflected yet in the price.

YooMedia PLC ("YooMedia" or the "Company")

Director Shareholding

The Company was notified on 3 May 2005 that Leo Noe has made the following
purchases of ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares")
at a price of 13p per Ordinary Share. On 29 April 2005 Mr Noe purchased 200,000
Ordinary Shares and on 3 May 2005 Mr Noe purchased 400,000 Ordinary Shares.
Following these acquisitions, Leo Noe has a beneficial interest in 13,600,000
Ordinary Shares, representing 2.93 per cent of the current issued share capital.

I think buying at the level of Leo Noe is beyond the call of duty and therefore reflects the fact that he beleives the shares are cheap and he can make a decent packet to supplement his income.

Eric

yes, you can't help feeling that he thinks buying at this price is money for old rope...so I've haad a few more myself!!
getting carried away now (or maybe I should be)....but all we need is a decent update to carry us back to 20p

Moving up gently yesterday and today. Maybe people have started to realise these are cheap.

certainly something afoot...

One of Sky tv's lead stories is the explosion of online poker. Quite a long story giving the pro's and con's, ie. a story of a lady who's won a fortune and the opposite. Poker growing 50% annually. Can only be good news for YOO as exposure to onine poker cannot come bigger than this, a major news story repeated hourly for the whole day. New story says poker accounts for 4,000,000 a day in the UK

but no mention of YOO?

Gambling and Games to Drive Mobile Entertainment Growth - From $17.6bn This Year to $59bn by 2009

Hampshire UK, 5th May 2005: A rapid expansion in mobile content, allied to a sharp increase in 2.5G and 3G handset adoption, will combine to deliver global mobile entertainment revenues of more than US$59 billion by 2009, according to a new report from Juniper Research.

But while adult content frequently heralded as mobile's "killer app" will generate healthy revenues of nearly US$2.2 billion by the end of the decade, the key drivers of mobile content are expected to be gambling and games, with their respective markets worth US$19.3 billion and US$18.5 billion respectively by 2009.

According to report author Dr Windsor Holden, "Lotteries are ubiquitous in many countries, and if you start launching lotteries on mobile handsets than you're tapping into a form of gambling in which the majority of adults indulge on a weekly basis, while sports betting and casinos are also high-revenue businesses."

Dr Holden added that mobile games were also beginning to generate substantial revenues, while sales in emerging markets with little or no established PC or games console base were particularly encouraging.

Other findings from the report include:


The mobile entertainment market will reach US$17.6 billion in 2005, up by 71% on 2004


After gambling (33%) and games (31%), the most popular entertainment services in 2009 will be music (16%) and sports (8%)


Ringtones which currently account for 31% of the mobile entertainment market will contribute no more than 8% by 2009


The increasing adoption of non-voice services in the US and Canada will push North American revenues to US$11.3 billion in 2009, up from just over US$1 billion in 2004.
