the most likely bad news will be another call for cash either through a rights or open offer. Some really pissed off institutions about me thinks.

Hi All,
31 million bought, 9.8 million sold, says it all really, average down, big bounce tomorrow.
As it says on sharecast ....
LONDON (SHARECAST) - A profit warning from interactive TV group Yoomedia sent shareholders into a frenzy today as the group warned results would come in significantly lower than expected.
Yoomedia said its Games & Gambling division has experienced lower than expected profit growth, making it revise its forecast for the full year to December.
The warning overshadowed news that the group has made significant progress with the acquisition of DITG at the end of last year and a strong performance by a number of its business divisions.
Yoomedia said it has continued to be EBITDA positive and that its directors still expect the group to be cash flow positive during the third quarter of the current year.
Value always returns, and these are now very undervalued. Only one division of the business is not doing well, the rest IS doing well, and that is why the value will return. Cash flow positive within the next 3.5 months, means these are a bargain, because when that news arrives, 10p+ will be the price, heading back to 20p by year end.
EVO's last price target in April was 20p, I expect them to reiterate that in a note tomorrow.
In today for 230,457 @ 4.02p average.
Cheers,
PM

Thanks for those crumbs of comfort PM--can't do anything other than wait!! You're a brave man to buy that many-hope it pays off for you. I did pick up another 20000 at 4.50p mid afternoon but that's all my spare cash in now.

Moneyplus Hi,
No worries :)
I thought 50% down was crazy, so I bought 96,000 odd at 4.5, then I waited and saw the price drop to 69% down, which is extreme madness based on that trading statement, so I bought another load at 3.54p, ending up as I have with 230,457 @ 4.02p
There is so much going on at YOO, and if directors can buy at the moment, I think we will see them buying loads at these levels, and ping, back to 8.5p no problem.
Then there are bargain hunters, who like me, know this company is so undervalued at 8.5p, let alone 4p, they will be buying tomorrow.
Even considering the number of people who bought in over the last 6 months, from 20p down to 8.5p, you can bet that many will be buying first thing in the morning, to average down by a good margin, and that will also clear stock from the MM's, and help push the price back where it belongs.
It's a no-brainer of a bounce coming, and if buy volume is good, we could see 8p to 10p either tomorrow or Monday.
Just to show how much I already know about Yoomedia, I have started to create a Yoomedia Research website, similar to my Stanelco Research website, I have been very busy lately, but I will get it done soon, when I have more time on my hands.
Check out both sites here, the Yoomedia website will be as full as the Stanelco one eventually :)

There have been "bargain hunters" all the way down from 20p and if you believe that there were 31 million bought and only 9 million sold today then you are stupid.
Good luck.

Fear Dil and Scrip on a thread!
I think we could be carving a niche out here. Maybe we should start a newsletter?

She is about to apply her philosophy of female empowerment to a new digital television channel, which she is setting up in conjunction with the multi-media publisher Big Picture and David Docherty's YooMedia, in the format of an aspirational women's magazine. Franks, who will be a non-executive director of the channel, will host her own daily chat show, offering words of wisdom " of which she is in no short supply " and interviewing experts in the fields of health, nutrition and relationships. It is her first television show, but Franks will be able to draw on her experience of having been a guest on television programmes around the world, as well as having worked on pilots of several new formats and honed her interview techniques in thousands of live sessions.
It's a looooong article !

Dr Michael Sinclair Yoomedia
When, in the summer of 1971, Dr Michael Sinclair informed his colleagues at the Maudsley Hospital that he was leaving medicine to start a business, they were appalled. 'My professor really thought I was going through a psychiatric illness,' he recalls. 'He actually examined my mental state formally. To have worked this hard for that long with some degree of success and then walk away from it and risk everything - he thought I was going nuts.'
Sinclair went on to launch a series of healthcare ventures, and has become one of the most successful ex-medical entrepreneurs around, with a fortune conservatively estimated at 80 million. But his management model came from a ward sister he had known in the casualty department at the Middlesex Hospital. 'I thought to myself: who's the best manager I've ever come across? And it was this casualty sister, who was an extraordinarily capable person. She knew everyone in the department who worked for her, their personal lives and their families. She had her door open all the time and she had total control, because she could see and hear everything that went on and she communicated well. And there wasn't a job that anybody had to do, whether a doctor or a nurse or a paramedic, that she couldn't do herself. So I adopted that approach when I went into business, and that was a hugely valuable experience.'
Sinclair made his fortune by building and operating hospitals, clinics and nursing homes around the world. More recently, he has shifted his focus to interactive entertainment firm Yoomedia. He still believes that aspects of his medical experience stand him in good stead. 'The most difficult thing to adjust to has been that in a hospital team, it's impossible to operate unless you have total trust and confidence in all the other people on the team. This is the foundation of that working culture. It took me a long time to realise that this is not the case in business, particularly in larger organisations, and to learn to have a more sceptical approach. But it can be enormously valuable in small organisations where you do all trust one another completely. It's a huge intangible asset.'

Looking at the trades today ,we had around 30M buys and 11 million sells of which 8 M was a single trade dumped at 3p ( Done the damage) If you got in at todays lows than imho on a 12 month view youve got a bargain. Market is pricing in a company that is going out of business.
