Dominic Hi,

AYE !

MM buys are shown on Level 2 for a reason, they are a BUY signal, nuff said :)

I filled my boots last thursday, 230,457 at 4.02p average, and I have been waiting to get back into YOO for about 22 months, I bought at 18p and sold at 37p that time, and have had them on my watchlist ever since, and 4p is a bargain, even 9p is cheap :)

Yoomedia second higest buy on IWeb today, highest on friday, anyone know how well YOO is doing on Comdirect, ETrade etc, please let us know :)

Cheers,
PM

And this is why MM's buy .... and why MM buys are Level 2 BUY SIGNALS !!!!



At first look, this strategy makes no sense: Why would the market maker buy the stock at $30 1/16 for their own account and take on the risk that the stock would fall, when they could simply do a riskless cross of the trades? It seems like wild speculation. But in reality, the market maker is not speculating at all, and in fact they are executing the trading equivalent of a slam dunk.

How could this be? First off, the market makers maximum loss on the stock is actually limited to 1/16, thats because they still have a valid limit order at $30. If the price ever started to fall, they would simply sell their stock to the customer who has the limit order.

While their downside is limited to 1/16, the market maker never would have made the trade in the first place if they didnt have a very good idea that the stock was in fact going up.

How would they know that? Once again, given that they control a large portion of the trading volume in the stock and have been given hundreds, perhaps thousands, of open orders to buy or sell at specific prices, the market maker has at their disposal a virtual treasure trove of information that only they can look at. For example, if the market maker saw a huge number of open buy orders and a decreasing amount of open sell orders, they might be reasonably confident that the stock was going up.

Thus in our price improvement example, the seller didnt really get the best price, because in all likelihood the market was about to move sharply higher, while the customer with the open limit order to buy never even got a chance to buy as the market maker simply stepped in front of their order and then used them as a backstop in case the market turned. Hows that for a customer friendly trading strategy?

I could go on and on with more examples of how wholesalers routinely use customer information to improve their own trading profits, but suffice it to say that this is a widespread practice throughout Wall Street today that is generally accepted as part of the business.

Hi Paul

Hope you had a good weekend.

I have a problem for you to solve re the mm buys - there were mm buys at 20p?

this thread is a great laugh,
by the way brokers recomendation, "overweight"
but i suppose this could change!

That just means the broker is tubby...

Guess that'll be Tinky Winky then.

Ideal opportunity to buy into a growth company at this paltry level. What were the losses last year and what are the forecast losses this comming year ?

Nobrainer at this level.

Kayak is correct this time, when a broker dealing in YOO for example says he is overweight, it means he is fat. I saw WINS said they were overweight BARC yesterday, so i went down to the bank to see them, here is a picture of WINS (Winterfloods)..

LOL !

Frodo Hi,

MoneyAM, ADVFN.com, and UK-Wire have 3.75

I guess that means don't sell any through Comdirect !

I guess we will have to see what price it is at 07:59:59, but I doubt it will be 2.75 bid :)

Cheers,
PM

Hi All,

Well, as I was saying last night, YOO is about to start moving, and the tick up to 4p after volume of ONLY 295,358 bought and 125,000 sold, proves it I think ....

Cheers,
PM

You mean the spread has widened .

Do we get a commentary on every trade. I'd quite like to know the height, weight and sexual preferance of each buyer please. Just post it on here. I can read up on it later.

Timberrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Load up now Dil you may never get another chance at this price. I spoke personally to all the interested buyers yesterday and they said they could not believe the price it is selling at. They are re-mortgaging their homes to load up at this incredibly cheap price. 'Sell the wife and kids this is going to the moon' said my guy in the know in the city. He has never been wrong about anything and phoned me out of the kindness of his heart to tell me the good news.

Where's Paul , school ?

can i ask a question here....why is there harping on about a 17 million mkt cap.

i have that number nearer 57 million at todays pricing. that is accoring to LSE website. does anyone have an exact shares in issue so we can check.

THAT would have a big impact on the current views on this board!
