I have little enough capital too, but I take the opposite view. It takes either a large amount of capital or a large swing to make the dealing costs and taxes negligable on your profit, so I choose companies I expect to give a good return in the medium term and leave the money there. A good company doesn't become a bad one in an afternoon, and I'm too damn tight to pay brokers all the time for dipping in and out!! I can hear you now. Typical bloody Yorkshireman (LOL).
Hope you did get in at the low cos I think this share seems to dip late morning and early afternoon every day, before rebounding prior to the close. We'll see if I'm right (there's a first time for everything!!)

Big delayed sell just went thru', should be reason for drop.

Just checked the historical charts for YOO and, interestingly enough, they seem to drop off dramtically through spring/early summer and rise vertically in the run up to the interims in September for the last 2 years. Maybe there is something in that. Most small companies share price is news driven and YOO lack the news flow required to keep it stable? May be other reasons and I might be talking crap, but I still think it has a long way to run.

bought some more...its certainly seeing some action today

Fingers crossed for both of us then, 016622. It may not be today but I am happy to have got more.
By the way, any relation to 118 118?
Alan

fraid knot alan...

hewittalan: Agree with you on charting. But in addition, it has come up on my 'bottom fishers' radar, because of significant director buys at a low point.
Director L Noe has recently spent 130k for 1M shares so we could now get aboard at a lower price.
Good fishing, sd.

bottom fisher kind of sums me up in more ways than you could ever imagine!! 8-))

cor blimey!

but not that way!!!!

thank f for that...
now in this one big time and sincerely hoping for some sort of upward movement!!

me too. and definately in the way you mean this time (ooo-er matron)!!!

by the way 016622, look at the trades in YOO immediately after the close. interesting.

Just goes to the prove the market, institutions and private investors have not done their homework on Yoomedia, not even a tick up when the announcement came about William Hill buying Stanley- another 500 + outlets to get people used to channel 425 - surely deserved a nudge up on that based upon Yoomedia's partnership with William Hill.

Pokerzone TV - one of the fastest growing areas of gambling, Yoomedia heading for a big presence.

Most important of all - look at the 3 year chart for Sportingbet - during that time a range of 20p - 315p - now holding steady at 275p range ???. as DTV gambling starts to take over from the internet - watch Sportingbet drop - I would definately take the profits now - just wish I had bought when they came on the scene with the original Yoomedia deal - 42p - was half tempted, but had everything spare in Yoomedia.

In my opinion - we have a company that is going to be in a position with less competition than Sportingbet in its chosen field - and will almost certainly within the next 3 - 5 years, be a takeover target, which will only be afforded by the likes of BSKYB or ITV, we are already ahead of Sportingbet in the DTV gaming and gambling arena - do none of the mother fucke*s out there realise that DTV gaming and gambling in the UK is going to be far bigger than the internet gaming and gambling scene in the next few years - all of the hardcore gamblers have access to a TV - not all have a PC ???? - PC is ahead at the moment, because up untill DTV in the last 12 months, that was all that was avaialble outside of the Casino's and Bookies - it will all change soon, and being a partner with William Hill was a far better move than the orginal what was going to be partnership with Sportingbet on DTV - how many outlets do Sportingtbet have on the high street - that is right, NIL.

There is no reason for the SP to be where it is, much more of a slip, and we could see a MBO - hope this is not the case, as we will all be sold short - if it is going to happen, it will happen before the interims, because when they are announced, this will start to confirm the upside - from there we will see more rises, of that I am sure. Sinclair and Docherty, know what an easy ride they have ahead of them, this company will be making monopoly money profits in the not too distant future - it will not be long before they get a main primetime slot of their own, they now have the production company in ViaVision to make programmes, and as we know, they will not have to rely on third parties for the technology to go interactive - once they are producing and broadcasting in house, that will be the end for the outsiders such as Celador - of that I am sure - why let Celador have the lions share, when they have it all !!!!! Producing and managing our own primetime shows!!!

Don't forget the large director buys recently--that's always a good indication of faith in their company. I added a few today.

yes, intersting AH,
I too hope youre barking up the wrong tree with a mb ip...

2* 500,000 buys just went thru'. One is a "T" trade other one "M" trade.

Aint got a clue what "T" & "M" trades are but it's all buys today, so where is the upwards pressure on sp?
Alan

timed trade and market makers buy

thanks for that. never was very good at the technical aspects of this game.
as i said before, almost all my trading is based on gut instinct, and watching which products sell through which shops, what new stuff are the guys at the pub talking about etc.
none the poorer for that though!!!
