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.

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"!!!!!

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

"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.

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!

ps sorry, i seem to have found myslf on a soapbox. i shall get off it now....

Current liabilities exceeding current assets is always a bad sign too .

Rights issue at 5p ?

dil - ive noticed you are quite abrupt, but i can take it, others should do too. I wished id listen to you concerning BPRG. My advice to others is, he is not usually far away from the truth and you need someone to give advice even if it is not what you want hear. He is not a deramper, and usually gives good reasons against. Keep up the good work. (i did make a good profit on iqe though!)

Abrupt ???

B*lloxs

:-)

Well, I seem to have stumbled upon a mass Dil love-in. Feel quite the gooseberry now.

I quite agree that people can post, be it bullish or bearish. I also quite agree that it's healthy to have an open debate on the pros AND the cons of any company. However, whether any of you like it or not, my original point still stands. To come out with an unsubstantiated comment on a company that simply states "Pile of crap" adds nothing to any rational debate. You can "big" up Mr Dil and all of his crystal ball insights if you like but the original comment that sparked this whole debate was a complete waste of time. As has been the debate.

For those who own Yoo shares we are all hoping, and expecting great things in years to come. That's why we invested. For those that don't own and have their reasons for not doing so that's entirely up to you. But let's get back to the company in hand with productive, non-personal comment (i.e. comments about pigs are probably best avoided Mr D).

After all the full and frank exchange of views, I still hold and the price hasn't changed!!
Alan

You only got to look at the chart or balance sheet to substantiate my "pile of crap" statement queen1.

On the other hand there is nothing to substantiate the optimism shown by many on here ("hoping and expecting" doesn't count).

I'll leave it at that for now.

Good luck.

Yes but you couldn't leave it could you? You had to have the final word. If you go back and re-read some of the posts there seems to be plenty to substantiate the optimism. Still, without a crystal ball it's difficult to say what will eventually happen. At the end of the day this optimism may turn out to be misplaced. Then you can feel smug and I, and many others, will be poorer. However, if the story goes the other way there'll be a lot of happy investors on this thread.
