buy price 10.75 today. when I added. One director was happy to buy 400 000 and 200 000 at 13.5p not long ago so I hope this is just Summer fall off. we definitely need a trading update or something from the co. though to restore faith.

andysmith - 09 Jun 2005 13:11 - 1393 of 3776

Folks, you know I sold at a loss at 18p and was pissed off but pleased I topped up my SEO at 9p with what was left and I'm not here to gloat or say told you so as I only sold out of anger anyway, BUT having not kept up to speed with YOO, what has made it fall to sub 10p????
This really is tempting but once bitten etc..
Interested to know how many still believing in this, why the fall, prospects etc. Of course, hope it recovers for you guys in deep red.

Hope that should be the end of the fall

Mr Mole - 09 Jun 2005 15:41 - 1405 of 3776

I know it's a bit too early to tell, but anyone have any thoughts on the implications of this. I suspect that the recent fall from the 15p mark well be those in the know offloading the shares. Are they oversold? What, if any, good news is round the corner? This is my second larget holding and I'm looking at a substantial loss. Anyone??

016622 - 09 Jun 2005 15:43 - 1406 of 3776

i'm out...

proptrade - 09 Jun 2005 15:49 - 1407 of 3776

sorry, my take is bearish. i would love to be more positive buty this guy was the driver of the company and he has exited stage left. obviously a tussle at the top. he lost and so do the shareholders...

hewittalan6 - 09 Jun 2005 15:52 - 1408 of 3776

Well I'm still in (at 13pps though!!!!!!!!!)
however I don't know if the bottom has fallen out of my world or vice versa.

Mactavish / ipublic.
Is this the june announcement you were forecasting towards the end of May, or is there more to come?
Alan

moneyplus - 09 Jun 2005 16:02 - 1410 of 3776

looks very much like a falling out but if the business is doing well and we expect it to be growing surely it's worth waiting to see some figures--all the deals have been done.
