What is your interest here Dil? Whether you agree with Paul's posts or not, he has stated his position and comes up with more than just "this share is great" or whatever the reverse of your "this share is b*llox" shout is.

You may well be right and this share isn't worth as much as some people would like us to believe.

I am however, very suspicious of people with undeclared positions who hang around bulletin boards when they've supposedly no interest in the share and hate it with a passion. Why waste your time when you could spend it positively researching other investment opportunities? It's not as if you're here to gain a better understanding of what this share is doing or if you should reinvest is it? You either like stirring things up and getting on peoples backs or are shorting this - which one is it?

Dil, Where in th Yoos` last statement are there any figures to back up your claim " CRAP."
Until any proper figures are annouced its all guess work. The shares have been oversold if the following statement (16th Jun) is true:-

"Yoomedia plc today announces that, whilst significant progress has been made
since the acquisition of DITG at the end of 2004, and strong performances have
been achieved by a number of its business divisions, Yoomedia's Games & Gambling
division has experienced lower than expected profit growth, leading to a
revision of the forecast outcome for the full year. As a result the Directors
believe that the results for the year ending 31 December 2005 will be
significantly lower than the Directors had originally anticipated.

Overall, the Company achieved its initial objective of EBITDA break-even in
March this year and has continued to be EBITDA positive. The Directors believe
that the Company will be cash flow positive during the third quarter of this
financial year. Under the Company's banking arrangements, the Chairman has
agreed to replace a guarantee over an element of the facilities previously
provided by a former chairman and director of DITG."

IMO there is more upside to the sp than down to come

Barry , how many good companies do you know where the chairman has to guarantee part of the companies banking facilities ?

Being EBITDA positive is a lot different to being profitable.

aldwickk ... seek and yee shall find

SeamusH ... didn't you say you were leaving or have I got the wrong person ? Go back and read my posts , there are a lot more facts in them than you will find in some other peoples.

Does anyone know why EVO have not produced an updated research note for YOO since the warning? Someone stated it was on the Reuters site, but I can't find it and none of the other resources like ft.com have been updated. It's not on the EVO site either!

It's very odd and leads me to speculate EVO are about to be given the sack, so they have not bothered. What do you chaps think?

I would be grateful if you would answer my question iPublic.

Dil

Could but won't, you don't deserve it!

I agree but I already know the answer ... how about enlightening the wider audience you know , the ones your continually ramping to regarding being EBITDA positive ... do they not deserve to know ?

Dil

The majority of posters know the difference between EBITDA positive and true profitabiltiy. You are assuming posters do not, which is insulting.

5M in cash at end of March and company will be profitable on a month by month basis, in the 3rd quarter, July to Sept.

Dil - Well I've kept quiet for a while as I took a battering when the price fell 60+% in one day but as I said at the time, my money so my shout. It would appear though that my issues with you, surrounding your continual slagging off of a company you have no interest in, are also troubling Barry, SeamusH and aldwickk. Now, we may all be wrong in continuing to support Yoo, but we are all right to censure you for your continual, unsubstantiated one liners of "bollocks", "crap" and "prat". Personal slurs and slagging seem to be your thing. Why don't you leave this thread and stand for Parliament where those particular traits may get you somewhere.

When all the slagging has stopped does anyone understand why the share price continues to drop(third day in a row) while the buys outweigh sells?
Please dont answer that its because the share is "b*llox " as it just makes discussions on this or any thread a waste of time.

Well for those posters that don't..

DEFINITION: EBITDA stands for "earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization." A widely accepted indicator of a company's financial performance, the term is sometimes used interchangeably with "cash flow." However, its usefulness as a measurement tool is disputed.

EBITDA is inappropriate for many industries because it ignores their unique attributes, according to Moody's. It's a poor measure of cash flow for companies undergoing a great deal of technological change or for firms that have short-lived assets (those lasting, say, three to five years) and need to keep upgrading their equipment to stay up-to-date. But it can be a valid measurement tool for organizations whose capital-intensive equipment lasts at least 20 years.

For example, the cable and media industries, which need to spend huge amounts of money to upgrade their technology, are ill-suited for using EBITDA, according to Moody's. So are industries that receive cash long after their earnings cycles have ended, such as the hospitality sector, which operates time-share resorts; Internet companies, at which barter often replaces cash receipts; and the trucking industry, in which trucks, whose value depreciates quickly, have to be frequently maintained before service begins to slide.

...and I do have a holding in YOO.

queen1 .. did have some sympathy for you after the profits warning but some people never seem to learn.

As I suggested before the profits warning queen1 ... why not question the unsubstatiated claims made by all the rampers on here you may save yourself some money .

SeamusH was leaving .... didn't even get that right , aldwickk is too lazy to do a search and as for Barry Harris , his lack of basic accounting knowledge is incredible if he believes there is nothing crap in the last set of figures. Why would I care what any of these three think ?

Thank you iturama.

Mactavish ... why not bung a chart in the header ?

Dil, if you don't care why the hell are you still here? Really. Why?

I was leaving Dil and then popped back to see if the board had matured to sensible postings once again. It had and you were nowhere to be seen and then guess what happens - the price drops and back you come all the petty comments with personal digs at other posters.

What is it - have you such a shallow life with no respect or responsibility that the only way you can get a buzz is to slate people on a board that you have no interest in in the hope of winding us up? Call me all the names you like, doesn't bother me in the slightest, I'm not going to get in a slagging match with you - better things to do with my time and have more respect for all the other posters who have to read this drivel.

Just admit one thing - are you here because you're a loser with nothing better to do or are you desperatley trying to short this?

Dil is posting on YOO because its a disaster waiting to happen. Unfortunately our eyes are open when it suits us to see. The fact that there has been a bounce at the bottom means little, especially when the management keeps reporting EBITDA which is a nonsense figure especially in this case.

queen1 .. watching , studying , learning ... try it sometime.

Seamus1 .. none of the above , see answer to queeny.

Which one is the MUPPET
Who is the weakest Link
?

Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee. lol. Gruesome twosome. Tonto and the Lone ranger. BB Trolls.

Is there a pattern developing which encourages smaller buys (5.69) as the higher buys(100,000+) are being charged 6p+.seems strange.hardly going to motivate the market I would have thought?
