Hi All, I said 2 weeks ago, that we would see 6p soon, and 8p within 3 weeks, and 7.7p is the height attained so far, so I reckon I called it right, and we will see 8p+ by the end of the week. So much for those that were giving me and YOO abuse two weeks ago, they are proven to know jack 5h1t about the stock, the market, and me ! cheers,

Courtsey of psmith64.



Some pointers for the newbies, of which there have been many over the past week

1) 300,000 K - 100,000,000 million turnover growth within two years, cash positive by this year end.

2)First choice partner for ITV & BBC where time stamped SMS technology required - why ????, because Yoomedia hold the patent.

3)Clients include worldwide broadcaster Celador - who are currently rolling out Yoomedia driven " Walkaway " SMS interactive game in 105 countries that it broadcasts in - initial success of the take up on this has seen " Who Wants To Be A Millionaire " on UK TV screens for over six months - this has never happened before.

4)Broadcast partner to FTSE 100 member " William Hill " via channel 425 on BSKYB - William Hill are able to plug its offerings on BSKYB on a daily basis in all of its 1600 UK Outlets - what a partner to have.

5) Yoomedia are a licensed bookmaker in their right.

6) Recently awarded a contract with BSKYB to provide interactivity in over 30,000 licensed UK premises where satellite TV is available on its SKY SPORTS channel, excellent income potential from interactive SMS games from the coming premiership football season - watch out for this one.

7) Interactive marketing partner to Nestle, who sell worldwide in over 127 countries - Yoomedia provided its services for the one of Nestle's most successful interactive marketing campaigns ever - KitKash - which was plastered on millions and million of Kit Kat wrappers - what exposure for Yoomedia.

8) 15 million interactive transactions per month - and growing, worldwide potential growing by the day.

Currently this company is valued at around 23 million, recently market cap nearly hit 100 million - and all that has happened since then is, we have had a profits warning, which may have put the company back by 6 months or less.

For those of us that have been on this rollercoaster ride for the last two years, we have seen how this company react's to good news - it will come as new clients and contracts are won, this time the company is much stronger financially than the last time you could buy at these prices two years ago, therefore IMHO, the growth in SP this time will be more sustainable.

Although the events over the last few months are bad for the short term investor regarding the drop in SP, one positive action has come out of the drop - Yoomedia have got noticed again, just look at the volume over the last week, people are now watching, and are ready to buy as they spot this bargain price of a share, that has so much potential, not just in the UK, but worldwide as the DTV take up grows globally - just take a good hard look at www.dtg.org.uk to back this statement up.

As always, DYOR before parting with your hard earned cash, but unlike Binary who just plucks prices out of mid air with no substance as to his reason behind them, I will stick my neck out and predict 10p buy end of July, with 20p by December 2005, based on my research, some of which is shared above.

Regards

Hey Mac - getting a bit repetitive

mactavish - 28 Jun 2005 14:13 - 1962 of 3776

Something new. Courtsey of Paul Kent.


few companies have achieved the growth in market cap that YOO have over last two years - hardly fair to simply note a share price fall recently, when the market cap is about 3500% (yes , THOUSAND!) UP compared to May 03 when a number of us first got in; ok, share price wont reflect that coz of dilutions to achieve that growth thru mergers/takeovers etc, but the overall positioning of YOO now compared to back then is on a different level, which shows the potential for this sector and YOO in particular.
Team in place over last two years achieved the strategic objective - team NOw in place to achieve operational and trading success, as far as i read the changes. Nothing particularly bad in that - in fact, i wish more companies recogsnied the need for differeent management skills to suit different objectives.

If only YOO got paid per positive posting and boundless optimism of speculators holding their stock they would have a fantastic business.

no better time to issue a further dilution of shares
than when the price is on the march

If the employees are willing to take up their share options even if at a heavily discounted price--this must surely show their confidence in the company as well as the faithful band here.

Dil - 28 Jun 2005 16:14 - 1967 of 3776

Pauly ... still a pile of sh*te mate , make hay while the sun shines.

Scripophilist - 28 Jun 2005 16:33 - 1968 of 3776

"If the employees are willing to take up their share options even if at a heavily discounted price--this must surely show their confidence in the company as well as the faithful band here."

They are not taking them up they are issuing shares to give free money to employees. There is no risk attached and they have not paid a penny for them. They are using your money to give free money to employees.

moneyplus - 28 Jun 2005 17:09 - 1969 of 3776

Thanks Scrip--some companies seem to issue options to buy shares to their employees I thought this was the same. Only advantage then is to keep their workers loyal-is that right??

iPublic - 28 Jun 2005 17:44 - 1970 of 3776

"They are not taking them up they are issuing shares to give free money to employees. There is no risk attached and they have not paid a penny for them. They are using your money to give free money to employees."

Wrong. Employees do pay for their share options, at a price previously set. So more working capital for YOO!!!

Dil - 28 Jun 2005 19:01 - 1971 of 3776

And boy do they need some !

Scripophilist - 28 Jun 2005 20:11 - 1972 of 3776

"So more working capital for YOO!!!"

Unfortunately it doesn't quite work like that. Its a shame you treat dilution of your earnings (losses) with such open arms.

Scripophilist - 28 Jun 2005 20:12 - 1973 of 3776

A lot of companies issue convertibles bonds and link them to shares by means of a coversion via an option style model. I think that's a much fairer way to do it.

paulmasterson1 - 29 Jun 2005 16:04 - 1974 of 3776

Hi all,

Yoo holding out well today, will we see 7.5p to 8p tomorrow, I think it's a good possibility, as tomorrow is two weeks from the director buys, and news could come tomorrow or monday.

Cheers,
PM

Rasenberg - 29 Jun 2005 16:12 - 1975 of 3776

Hi Paul,

I like your enthusiasm but anything concrete to base the claim of 7.5p-8p tomorrow ?

Hope you are right of course but facts/reasoning always appreciated.

What relevance is 2 weeks since director buys etc ?

iPublic - 29 Jun 2005 16:39 - 1976 of 3776

Regarding the directors buys and the period after when news can be released vis RNS.

Does anyone actually know for sure what the time perios is? I've heard 30 or 6 weeks for starters!

Of course, news can also be released at any time via a general press release, as we had with YES, a few days ago.

Update: ITV wins in Ofcom fee decision
LONDON (ShareCast) - Shareholders in TV broadcaster ITV (LSE: ITV.L - news) welcomed new proposals by Ofcom today after the regulator agreed

a windfall for the company.

Ofcom has decided to slash the licence fees that ITV and other PBS commercial TV companies have to pay with ITV the biggest winner as it sees its fee tumble by a massive 135m in 2005 to less than 80m from 215m last time.

The news was expected, though not by such a massive fall, as more and more of the public move into Digital TV, a move that should be completed by 2012. Soon there will be little benefit for broadcasters to be on analogue as revenues for advertising dwindle.

"The new terms also provide for further significant reductions in payments beyond 2005. Licence payments are comprised of a fixed cash sum and variable payments based on analogue advertising revenues," said the broadcaster.

Chief executive Charles Allen said, "Across ITV1, ITV2, ITV3, ITV4 and the ITV News Channel, ITV will invest around 1bn in high quality programming this year. It is critical that ITV has the firepower to sustain this investment and take forward its digital strategy."

Ofcom also highlighted the possibility of further reductions in licence fee payments beyond the current year should advertising revenues come under pressure as more households turn to digital.
