Right...I bought into ZOO after the positive coverage in Shares magazine recently. Obviously everyone though the same, but lucky for me I got in at 10p.

Obviosly a lot depends on how the product sells, and in my view the product has a lot of potential, which is the reason I bought the stock. These things take time and I intend to hold for a least 12 months to see how sales go.

I understand that people went on a buying frenzy and sold early to make a quick and substantial profit. What I don't understand is why the price has dived so quickly. I expected a lot of profit taking but didn't expect it to have such a huge effect on the price. I though it would find some stability at around 20p for the time being. As far as I am aware there hasn't been any negative press coverage?

Can someone offer their advice on how to gauge the price movements when a stock moves like ZOO has. It's very difficult to see where it might head next?

Many Thanks

Take a look at CYH - the next ZOO!!!!!!! Maybe the next YOO!!!! little woman will agree and she knows her stuff!

Sorry - but this is something like the 8th thread started since June on ZOO.

However I'm afraid if you are looking to find a way to gauge price movements my suggestion actually is one of the best ways!

Bingobingham,

Personally, I don't think you'll see a big movement again until after Xmas. I bought in at 8.5 and sold at 15, then bought in again at 19. Silly really, especially as the shares have dropped to around 14. I thought they would have steadied at around 20 but I think after the profiteers moved in the price was only ever going down. Its still a small company, pretty volatile.

Another announcement should push the price up again because their product is sought after. Wait until we see how well the games have sold over Xmas. Positive buying over 2-3 months = more income = more cash for development + more interest from big media companies.

My apologies for starting another ZOO thread, I suppose it's a bit boring by now. I'll think of something different soon.

BB, I started the first thread on Zoo on this board and bought in at 2.74p.

I can tell you I am a long term holder, well that is until it is either taken over or taken out. Of course there is a lot of silly talk coming from game console experts, they know the games but they dont know business.

I have no intention at all of selling in fact I would say the 20p plus price we saw about 10 days ago is minimal as to what the take out price will be.

Do not think of this company as a games console competitor , it is not, please check out its website and get the real facts for yourself. NB , there is a white paper on there that is well worth studying.

cheers gf.

There certainly does seem to be alot of confusion on the boards about what ZOO doo.
Of course I may be confused too but the games appear to me to be secondary.

They have created a software package for authoring DVD disks that makes it simpler to include rich interactive content than by using other packages. They are using this in-house to create titles such as Millionare which they can produce faster and cheaper than other publishers because of their software.

They hope to license this software to other producers and receive royalties for its use.

They have called it 'DVD Studio Extra'.

Apples DVD authoring package is called 'DVD Studio Pro'

Do you think ZOO are trying to attract anyone's attention?

(The above is pure speculation on my part - I know nothing, I don't hold any ZOO shares)
