Yes i agree with the last post , what is your conclusion Dil? Or are you just talking total crap to justify your bloody ego!

Dil - 14 Jun 2005 10:27 - 1452 of 3776

lol , if you were that interested then I'm sure you can skip back a few posts and go look for yourself ... lazy gits.

queen1 - 14 Jun 2005 13:27 - 1453 of 3776

Dil's post was "what a load of crap". As I'm sure you'll agree, if it took 3 months of analysis and protracted technical thought to come to that conclusion he really should get out more. He may be right but what was it, in those 3 months, that led to the "conclusion"? Why waste a thousand words Dil? Indeed, but on that basis, if you're not interested in the share, what the hell are you doing on the thread?

Dil - 14 Jun 2005 13:37 - 1454 of 3776

trying to educate pork by the look of it

Scripophilist - 14 Jun 2005 13:48 - 1455 of 3776

Maybe Dil doesn't want to waste his time explaining. Because on the face of it people who own stock don't want to hear anything negative against it. If Dil posted up his reasons there would only be a flood of rhetorical responses.

I have posted many times on companies I am negative on only to suffer huge abuse until suddenly everybody sees I was right. Hardly ever do people thank me for my contribution or for saving their pennies. So I fully understand why somebody who really does know his stuff can't be bothered to post anything other than a one liner.

For the record I was asked to comment on this company recently also and did a lot of digging and can definately not recommend owning stock in this company. The past has been a shambles and there is no evidence at the moment that history will not repeat itself.

queen1 - 14 Jun 2005 14:03 - 1456 of 3776

Thanks Mini-Me. But what is the point of a one-liner. Who is going to take any notice of that? Why would anybody make any kind of fiscal decision based on "It's a pile of crap". No-one. So why bother posting it at all? What is the point? If it is to genuinely share knowledge or help others out why not do it properly? And if it's not to help or to educate then it's devisive and not welcome.

And Dil - Nice pork line. Did it take you 3 months to come up with that as well or are insults easier to come by for you?

Dil - 14 Jun 2005 14:24 - 1457 of 3776

OK for queen1 only - wonderful share , 50p by xmas , buy a shedload.

Happy now ?

If I had written that instead of "pile of crap" you would not have queried it as you have failed to query any of the positive posts.

Only time will tell who is right but go look closely for yourself if your capable and you too may see the light.

Regards

Dil - 14 Jun 2005 14:35 - 1458 of 3776

Oh and if your real bored then go have a search through the thread to find out when I first posted my doubts and then let us know how much you could have saved yourself to date.

proptrade - 14 Jun 2005 14:46 - 1459 of 3776

OK children, no need to throw the toys out the pram.

I think the point is that Dil has been proved right over the months but i do agree that the one liner is there to rile perople.

I am also negative on this pup but I think have escaped flack from the bullsters because i try to balance my argument and would be a buyer if the company bothered to follow up their trading statement (as promised) to show that the monthly revenues were sustainable and we were looking at 100 million turnover.

In light of that, and the fact that the CEO has resigned I think extreme caution is advised. however...

bring on the trading statement as above and i will happily miss the first move, buy them and scream from the rooftops..."quid by crimbo!!!"

ps, Dil, if you turn bullish, all that is required is "fill ya boots"!!!!!

Dil - 14 Jun 2005 14:55 - 1460 of 3776

This has been taken from another board. Courtesy of Down to Earth.



Michael Sinclair, chairman of YooMedia, has asked me to contact you regarding your earlier email to the company. Of course, as you would expect, the company is not going to start communicating with the market or its shareholders via bulletin boards. But he has asked me to send you the following message





As chairman of the company I want you to know that of course the board shares your disappointment at the recent share price performance. Virtually all the directors, including myself, are substantial shareholders and so our interest in the success of the company and in its increasing in value is absolutely aligned with that of our fellow shareholders.



There are a number of factors affecting the share price, many of which are outside the control of the company. In the end, your board and management can only manage the business it is up to the market to decide a price for the shares. Having grown YooMedia from a company with five-figure annual revenues a couple of years ago into the substantial business it has become today, we believe passionately in the strategy we are pursuing to be a multi-platform interactive media and entertainment group. You may have seen that one of the non-executive directors has bought significant quantities of shares over the past month or so in what should be seen as an encouraging sign that your board believes in the business.



We will continue to strive to build value and if we are successful, that will surely be reflected in the share price in time.



Best regards



Michael Sinclair

Dil - 17 Apr'05 - 01:52 - 1111 of 1460 edit

EW , I got shot to peices a few weeks ago for calling these crap at 20p but at 15p they are still 50% overvalued looking at the charts imo.

Good luck.

Dil - 14 Jun 2005 15:38 - 1463 of 3776

Go ask Michael if his salary is profit / performance related , lol.

Scripophilist - 14 Jun 2005 16:51 - 1464 of 3776

The performance of the company and the management is rotten, totally rotten. Rather than post on a BB if you are a shareholder you should go to the AGM and ask them how it is possible to blow away tens of millions of shareholders money.

Dil - 14 Jun 2005 19:28 - 1465 of 3776

And how much they have and are paying themselves for the priviledge of blowing away your hard earned money.

queen1 - 14 Jun 2005 22:16 - 1467 of 3776

Dil - If you don't own any shares in Yoomedia why don't you leave the thread. What kind of sad life do you lead anyway if you have to spend it making comments (positive or negative) on companies owned by others, not by yourself?

At the end of the day, it's our money - not yours. If Yoo goes down in flames we will lose out but that's our choice and we'll only have ourselves to blame. Idiots gloating from the sidelines, wearing "told you so" t-shirts are not required.

Oh, and by the way, nice "capability" quote earlier. You really are on a roll today my friend.

Dil - 15 Jun 2005 10:22 - 1468 of 3776

Thanks for the advice but I'll post where and when I like.

Do you think the next set of accounts will be qualified by the auditors ?

Looked lucky to have got away with it last time , not happy about the "going concern" bit apparently.

Scripophilist - 15 Jun 2005 10:30 - 1469 of 3776

"Idiots gloating from the sidelines"

I've noticed in my time on BB that idiots are usually classified as those with contrary views.

"If Yoo goes down in flames we will lose out but that's our choice and we'll only have ourselves to blame"

Good luck, you are going to need it.

proptrade - 15 Jun 2005 10:30 - 1470 of 3776

queen1. All you are going to do is encourage Dil, nothing more!

the fact is that the pos and neg banter is what these boards are all about. as long as the comments are not malicious or overly personal then really anyone can post anything.

i have to say that without guys like Dil and those with a bearish view most threads would end up a boring self congratulatory/commisiary place. It takes all types to make a board and thrad a success. Should we shun newbies? should we disapprove of blatant rampers? come on, lighten up, its only money!
