Seamus Hi,

I have no time for people who can't make decent, eductional, and rational conversation. I don't mind the odd bit of friendly banter, but when people keep up the childish behaviour in 99% of their posts, the sort of posting you would normally associate with advfn BB's, it's 'filter and forget' time.

I am here to make money, and I hope those who are also here to make money, will do so.

Cheers,
PM

"I am here to make money"

By duping unfortunates into buying stock you aim to sell?

Buy Confirmed by the British Bulls......

Were you eager to go long? Well, without doubt, it was the right time to do so. The BUY signal was finally confirmed, and most probably you have called your broker and placed your long orders with no hesitation.

Don't worry if you have missed this buying opportunity. The market may now give you a second chance. You may still find good prices for buying in the next session

Just a reminder why someone bought 12 million shares yesterday.

Unbelieveable to see these shares at the current price - and what a welcome surprise it was - having been in long since around August 2003 where I first purchased at 11p, which at that time I considered an out and out gamble, when the company had a measly turnover of 300,000, with my highest purchase being 48p, this recent opportunity has now returned by average to 19p from 27p, which I feel more than comfortable with, due to the following FACTS.

1) Since my first purchase, Yoomedia have made significant progress to become one of the leading independent providers of interactive DTV services, proven by the fact that it's turnover has risen from 300,000 per annum, to a projected 100,000,000 + for this year - yes that is correct a 3333% increase, thanks to careful aquisition of possible competition, and looking to be cashflow positive before the year end.

2) With its aquistitions, we have clients such as BSKYB, ITV, BBC, CH 4, yes, all the major national UK Broadcasters, not forgetting worldwide production houses such as Celador ( makers of Who Wants to be a Millionaire, for which Yoomedia provide interactive services on it's Walkaway Game ), also, Yoomedia have Turner Broadcasting as a client, one of the biggest Broadcasters in the USA, where the digital TV revolution is fast catching up with the UK. Yoomedia also has a broadcasting partnership with FTSE giant William Hill, who recently aquired the Stanley Group, therefore giving this joint venture more exposure on the high street via 1600 outlets.

3) In its rollercoaster ride to the top, and now back down, Sony, Via Columbia pictures has maintained its shareholding, and non executive presence on the Board.

4) Yoomedia are the only third party to be able to provide red button services to BSKYB, a major cost saving advantage for its own BSKYB channels.

5) Yoomedia have patented technology to provide a return path to Broadcasters via Mobile Phone, where it is able to handle up to 1,800,000 time stamped text messages per hour, hence the reason it is the first choice of the BBC and ITV to provide these services in its primetime slots which enables all viewers to participate, so reaching those consumers who still use anologue transmission.

6) With the growth of interactive marketing via TV ( have you seen the push the red button now on some recent adverts ) Yoomedia have an expert team in place lead by David Bainbridge to take advantage of this growing sector of advertising.

7) Yoomedia already have established clients such as Nestle and Honda in other forms of interactive marketing, and were recently involved with the most successful KitKash promotion, which was advertised on all Kit Kat wrappers.

I have seen first hand the interactive services that Yoomedia are able to provide, and one of my companies will be using one of these services in the near future, which has really made me aware of how Yoomedia can help the newest of companies, become a market force in a short space of time.

The recent aquisition of the DITG group IMHO will enable Yoomedia to make its mark in the worldwide emerging DTV revolution without the help of any third party, as this has given it the facility to have its own Channels on BSKYB, and its own production company VIAVISION, how long will it be before Yoomedia are producing their own interactive tv broadcast programmes, where even the likes of Celador have to rely on their patented technology to make their " Who Wants to be a Millionaire" programme interactive, what a great position to be in.

We have all recentky seen how Mobile Technology has produced amazing results in respect of Live8 ticket lottery given the right media promotion, how long will it be before Yoomedia link up with a media giant such as the SUN newspaper to promote their own thing ????, they have the technology, and even if it is not this year, I am sure it will happen.

I have always maintained my position on this BB as a long term holder in the region of five years, with a high risk stock like this you will get volatility, and situations like we have seen over the last week are to be fully expected, I am sure it won't be the last, but it is the investors with the nerve that are always going to profit from this type of stock, especially if you have really done your homework and research, and can be comforatble with situations like we experience at the moment.

DTV is very much still in its infancy, but give it another five years, and it WILL be running nicely alongside the internet, don't take my word for it DYOR, with www.dtg.org.uk being a very good place to start, I would also advise you to make some very good friends within the BBC and ITV and ask their oppinion of where TV is heading over the next few years.

Never read too much into these BB as most of the information is mis informed, based mostly upon peoples short term position, for example, take a look back over the last week, this will easily identify the " investors " who know nothing about this stock.

For even more reasurance, take a look at how long BSKYB took to get into profitability, and now look where they are, even if we have to wait until 2006 for Yoomedia to become profitable, they would have done very well to acheive this in the short space of time the current team have been in place, especially now with their presence on all major Digital platforms - BSKYB, FREEVIEW, NTL & TELEWEST, with very little spent on advertising and promotion.

Even with the last weeks decline in the SP of this share, I maintain my long term outlook, and along with directors, could not resist topping up at the current price, but it is not for the faint hearted, and only lock money up that you can say goodbye to for a period of 3-5 years with this stock IMHO, as you may well come unstuck like some people already have, Yoomedia may not have bottomed yet, but if you have done your research properly, that should not phase you, because next week, next month, we could quite easily get that piece of news that we know this share is capable of heading Northwards quickly on.

This company has too many shrewd multi millionaire businessmen involved, not to do some serious research on, research the company, and the people behind it, you will then understand that these people do not just throw money away, that is how they got rich by normally being one step ahead of the crowd.

Happy investing everyone, back to do some more gardening now on this lovely british longest summer day, good luck to you all, whatever your position is.

Regards

Paul

Care to name one or two of those shrewd multi millionaire investors ?

Most shrewd investors multi millionaire or not have run a mile.

And you can have a blue chip client list as long as your arm and still be a pile of crap ... ask Energis shareholders.

Morning all or "au revoir" as they say in France.

Another blue start for YOO :-)

dominic simpson esq (a multi language speaking man from Shropshire)

Dil

Sinclair and Noe and that's just for starters.

Energis were a great company who went bust because of massive debts, the interest on which, they could not service when revenue dropped.

YOO had only 0.6m debt at year end with 6m in cash and a 4m banking facility.

Sorry mate, but you barking up the wrong tree with that one!

Britishbulls BUY rating upped to

EXTREMLEY STRONG BUY AND FILL YOUR BOOTS RATING

Buying at 25p and still holding aint shrewd in my book iPublic.

Aren't they also the guys running this fiasco ?

There once was a stock named YOO

.....

contributions to finish this limerick please!

iPublic have you read the accounts ???

Proptrade Hi,

PM

Hi All,

A trader sitting two desks away from me bought 500,000 this morning ....

Cheers,
PM

looking forward to Dil's version now

just trying to keep it friendly here....nobody likes personal attacks!

During the year ended 31 December 2004, the Group recorded a loss of 23.8
million and at 31 December 2004, the Group had net current liabilities of 0.6
million. Net cash outflow from operating activities in 2004 was 10.9 million.
Net cash outflow before management of liquid resources and financing 18,6 M.

Net Cash left 5,044,832 to finance operations - Yes they do have a 4m banking facility .

From accounts

In the light of existing facilities available to the Group, the Directors
consider there will be sufficient resources available to enable the Group to
achieve the profitability and positive cash flow necessary for the Group to
continue as a going concern. Consequently, the directors consider that it is
appropriate to prepare the accounts on the going concern basis. However, in
common with similar businesses at this stage of their development, the Directors
recognise that there will remain a fundamental uncertainty over the Group's
ability to realise future profitability and positive cash flows until the Group
has established a track record of profitable trading, cash generation and
meeting its working capital projections.

The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that would be required
if the Group

****** were unable to achieve profitability and positive cash flow with its current resources******* , or if further available sources of finance were
insufficient to fund the Group through to profitability and positive cash flow,
such that the going concern basis of preparation ceased to be appropriate.

I think you should all be significantly bullish on this one as they have only blown 41m of shareholders money so far. So there is still a long way to go.

Forget last year, it is not relavant, due to the synergies and cost savings since the merger. You really are wasting your time bothering with the 2004 accounts.

YOO have stated they are EBITDA positive since March and will be profitable (cash flow positive), July - September. This is not a company which is burning cash, it has transformed itself. Now if you are not prepared to believe the company statements, then that is your perogative.

The 4m banking facility is personally guaranteed by our Chairman, Mr Sinclair. With his immense wealth, this will be good enough for any bank!

Lol they let Pauly trade at school now !
