Hi All,
Well, I said they were going to go up, and my basis was MM buys and BIG 'T' buys since Friday last week, and they were buying because like me, they see YOO as a bargain, and also I expect they too think the drop from 9p to 3.275p on thursday, was totally unwarranted, based on one division underperforming, one division of many, with the rest going very well, and a monthly profit within 3 months.
I shall put this down in my book as a good call by moi :)
All those who were claiming 'bankrupt soon' and 1p, well we all know how wrong they are ....
Cheers,
PM

Hi All,
I am enjoyng this 0.25p average rise per day, every 0.25p is worth 576.14 to me, although I bet there are others here with bigger holdings, (like my workmate who bought the 500,000 at 8:14:59 at 4.25p) that make mine look like pocket money, but the fact is, it's going up as I said it would, and at 0.25p per day, it will only take me another 15 days to get to my initial 8p target, it could be less, once everyonme else realises the way it's going, and jump in for a few percent themselves.
Cheers,
PM

Moon Set to Offer Spectacular Optical Illusion
By Simon Baker, PA
Britain will tonight be treated to a spectacular show in the evening sky when the full moon will appear bigger to the naked eye than it has done for several years, experts said.
The Earths main companion should cloud permitting give the illusion of a massive glowing sphere when it rises above the horizon shortly after 10.30pm.
Astronomers say the illusion will be caused partly due to the recent passing of the summer solstice, when the moon is at its lowest point in the sky and the sun at its highest.
This factor has been boosted by the moon being at a particular point in a 18.6-year cycle of tilted orbits around the Earth, which also determines its height in the sky.
But anyone frightened by tonights sight has been reminded that the show is merely an optical illusion thought to be associated with the human eyes interpretation of the horizon.
Robert Massey, astronomer at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, said: The further north in the UK that you are the more dramatic the effect is likely to be.
It will appear unusually big and of course it isnt really but that is the optical illusion.

iPublic
Is Richard Meathrel heading up the Exeter Branch?
Long without a choice how it looks.
There is quite a significant difference in the partners mentioned on the new website ie what about sky, freeview, ?
Do you know why there is no mention of iPublic on the updated Yoo website?
still I like this bit "YooMedia is responsible for handling over 15 million cross-platform customer transactions every month, including the operation of the only other digital satellite red button return path other than Sky itself."
A pitty they cant run the business out of one premises as apposed to 4.

Courtsey of psmith64.
Looking at the trades of the last few days, very large chunks indeed, I have a feeling this could be directors buying to increase their stakes to fend off a possible hostile bid whilst the share is at these low levels.
I have read that a few on this board would take 15p and be pleased, I can't blaim them, especially if they have only jumped on the bandwagon in the last week.
But, just remember, Dr Sinclair bought a tranche at 50p, and on the way down many have been bought by Leo Noe in the region of 23p, as well as his recent top up at 13p
All the new directors from DITG aquired their shares at 15p in the recent reverse takeover.
Take a look at the profile of Yoomedia's largesr shareholder, Peter Wilkinson, see how much he made out of his sell off of Freeserve - people like this do not invest in growth companies like Yoomedia and expect to make peanuts.
Even I do not expect to invest in companies like Yoomedia and make peanuts, hence the reason I am prepared to sit this one out for a few years, as I suspect the major shareholders in Yoomedia will, take a look at Forsight Technology, they could have made a packet with their holding when this touched nearly 60p - but even then they did not cash their chips in then when the turnover was less than 1 million per annum.
Yoomedia have now got over the major hurdle of running out of cash, and either going for a cheap offload to a hungry preditor, or asking for more cash - they know the future for the DTV industry is one of fast growth, and amongst their portfolio of offerings, they know they have a product that will be used worldwide in the coming few years, Celador are already takeing advantage of their SMS time stamping technology worldwide which is able to deal with 1,800,000 texts without getting that " Network Busy " message, ( have you ever tried using 02 , Vodafone etc on New Years Eve, if so, you will know what I mean, hence the reason they cannot be used for live TV where high volume of text is anticipated, the text simply would not get there in time ), which enables them to run a highly profitable game of skill over both DTV and Anologue TV, just look at the long run " Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" has had since October 2004 when the Yoomedia powered " Walkaway " game started, ask yourself why it has gone on far longer than the usual 2 month slot ????, yes, because the Yoomedia technology is raking them in " Loads a Money " as Harry Enfield would say.
And that is exactlly why Yoomedia know they are onto a good thing, they have the technology, they have the production facility now through there wholly owned company Via Vision ( take a look at their web site http://via-vision.atltv.co.uk/broadband_1.asp ) , they have the BSKYB channels, as well as the presence on Freeview - they also have third parties that want their technology.
The directors knew with the recent departure of David Docherty that this was the best time to issue a profits warning to get maximum drop in share value, hence with the confidence they have in the future, it would probably give them their last chance to increase their holding at these ridiculous prices.
We have already had one director buy RNS, I fully expect more by the time the week is out ( these 5,000,000 buys over the past few days are not just retail punts), lets see, and if so, this should soon take the price back to 10p very soon IMHO - based not on a whim, but my extensive research of DTV in general over the last 24 months, and thorough of Yoomedia, as well as all the largest shareholders involved with the company.
Regards
Paul

Well done PM you've got a letter published in Shares.
Can't see any other mention of Yoo in the mag though maybe they're happier sitting on the fence for the time being (can't blame them. . .)
