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.

Scrip , those who would most benefit from a news letter are those least likely to want to read it .
Paul reckons a net 22 million shares sold today and then suggests that people getting in early tomorrow will be "clearing up stock" from the mm's.
Am I missing something here ????
May bounce may not but some should stop posting b*llox on here.
Not around tomorrow so have fun.

Unbe fuckin lievable, 3.5p. Cluckin Bell!!!
I repeat my post 1420
"The story is they shafted ordinary shareholders last year and now its gone tits up they have some explaining to do to the institituions who happily snapped up shares at a massive discount last year but those smiles will be fading now as will the people who's pension funds have taken a beating. YOO get what YOO deserve and at this rate they will be the ones being acquired. I just feel sorry for the loyal ordinary investor". It was 9p when I posted this!!!
YOO did not give a good explanation for shafting investors last Autumn and you won't get one now. How will they raise cash again from institutions who are sitting on massive losses? If you catch this falling knife you know where to use it. I suggest the bollocks of YOO directors need to be kicked very fucking hard by pressing the red button, share for the future my arse.
Dil may be a bit to the point but I agree with him 100% on this and BPRG.
Thank God I sold at 18p, my loss is history and has been recovered, hope you guys still holding this can recover. Good Luck.

PM,
sorry to disagree with you on this occasion, Dil doesn't need to deramp, the sp does that on its own and the main reason behind it is the Directors who run the company which has left people holding on to massive losses.
They told a good story, got the share price up, raised funds at discounts for their mates in institutions and their own pockets and then fucked up giving all very heavy losses & a long wait could be in store for holders to breakeven.
I do hope for ordinary holders sakes that they get their act sorted OR get bought out by someone who knows how to run a company properly and profitably.

Andy Hi,
What a load of rubbish, YOO are heading for cashflow positive within 3 months, the Directors have not done anything wrong, the company is in transition after buying DITG and other assets.
YOO will be very big, once all the synergies are in place, and the new products rolled out.
Everyone knows this, and that is why there are 4.3m bought AND NONE SOLD so far today.
Cheers,

I do hope you're right Paul.
Apparently I've been talking rubbish since I sold mine at 18p though.
Its now >75% lower, I think I made the right choice selling and buying SEO at 9p with what was left, don't you?
