RE my post below, today makes it 4 days in a row ....

Hi all YOO sharehoders,

As I pointed out yesterday, at the close, for what is now the THIRD day in a row, we have a 500,000 buy, something is starting to look like accumulation of stock, by someone.

We were told the rumour yesterday, of a predator looking from accross the Atlantic, how much would they offer for YOO ? .... much more than the current MCap, I think we all agree.

Also a rumour of a big interactive TV deal, how about SKY Sports, for the pubs and bars, for the upcoming football season ? .... how much would the SP rise if that happened ?

Bashers like dil and scrip are no doubt also bashing YOO on ADVFN and other boards, they are just sad losers, and I have and will continue to have them filtered.
I still hold the 230457 YOO at 4.02p, and I won't be selling any for less than 8p.

There is still a lot of upside, and the rumours I mentioned above would see 10p as likely.

Look at the big YOO picture, the company is growing fast, and will be cash flow positive in the next 3 months, and that will be announced, and my 8p target will be passed anyway.

Ignore the bashers.

Cheers,
PM

"Bashers like dil and scrip are no doubt also bashing YOO on ADVFN and other boards, they are just sad losers, and I have and will continue to have them filtered."

I think its a bit naff to call me a basher. I am nothing of the sort. It makes me believe that Paul is a ramper and a bit zealous. (An ulterior motive?). That ADVFN comment is a lie. This is the only board I have ever posted on YOO. At the end of the day I have no motive to post.

My only sin was to start posting that Dil had a point just before the price plunged 60%. My views on the company haven't changed since I was asked to look into it. I think my view was immediately justified.

At the end of the day its a small illquid share that will see sharp moves up and down in price. If you buy a few and tell others to do so you could probably get some movement in it. But at the end of the day its down to the company to get the dam business motoring or nobody will ever see any value out of this hopeless investment. I don't believe it has a particular bright future. But quite what happens on a macro basis and especially on the price I have no idea. Most postings I have seen are priced based and conjecture. Your focus is better geared to the company.

If you are invested then good luck, But please be aware of the huge huge risk you are taking on this company.

Paul your enthusiasm for your YOO holding is understandable and it appears that you work hard at DYOR. I think the last post by Scrip had a lot to say about realty( he could have left out the word hopeless) and it is more useful for all to be more conservative on postings as emotion is the enemy within.

Yet again another day where the buy price is being pulled down despite strong demand way in excess of sells,Is it being held down to allow a predator to swoop at a low price?

up and down with your yo-yo
have another go with your yo-yo
nice song that: this company does not
know which way to move at the moment,

900,000 @ mid price 'O' trade

Surely it has to be a buy ?

Does it go with the four 500,000 buy 'O' trades that have appeared, one each at the end of the last four trading days ?

Cheers,

It was a buy bought from WINS

From another BB. Full credit to our leader, Paul Smith. Thanks Paul!


Youngpretender,

I read your post with interest.

I am amazed that you appear to have bought shares on the back of what you have read in this this BB from likes of myself, bigchops etc etc - you don't know me from adam and eve - I could be some raving loony sat inside my mental institution ward having fun at dishing out advice about something I know very little about !!!!!

Fortunately I am not.

I am a private investor, and have been directly investing in the stockmarket for the last 10 or 11 years, most of my holdings are with Blue Chips, I also hold a good proportion in PEPS and ISA's, all of which are for the long term ( I am only 41 and so if I have to take full retirement at 60 - in my opinion over that time span - these are a good place to put your savings )

Now my reason for investing in Yoomedia - I don't know about you, but over years since I have been a private investor I have picked many shares out, but have not had the nerve to invest, mainly because they appeared too risky for my liking, or the fact of I just did not have funds available that I could fully write off and not feel some pain.

Looking back on some of those of shares, if I had have had the nerve, I would have been a winner, many times.

So, three years ago, I sold part of my company, and some of the proceeds I decided I would risk in AIM - something I had never done before.

It was not until two years back, that I noticed Yoomedia at the top of the leader board one day, and decided that night to do some research - believe it or not, I stayed up well into the early hours, and was amazed to see that the UK, was well ahead of the field in digital TV, and it just happened that Yoomedia was in this field.

The next day, I took my first plunge and bought a tranche of shares at 11p, I was in, and I had taken a risk, based on some overnight research.

Over the following days, I did a lot more research, by which time the price had raced to around 25p, at which time I bought my second tranche.

At this stage, although with the amount of research I had done, not just on Yoomedia, but on the DTV industry in general, I did not fool myself into thinking, this is the one that is going to let me fully retire 50, because, it was AIM, and as we have found out with Yoomedia, AIM can be volatile.

I also set myself a realistic target of a possible cash in time, which at the time of investment was 5 years, as I have always stated in my post, indicating the fact, that if anyone wanted a to make a quick buck, this share was not the place ( although having said that, those who cashed in at the mid 50p's did, and in the last couple of weeks, you could have made 100% - but that is for the riskier business for the short termers - of which I am not )

Even at todays lows, although it hurts, because my breakeven point is 19p and my screen shows a big loss on Yoomedia, because of the amount of research I have personally done on Yoomedia and DTV and iTV in general ( not influenced by any bulletin board ), helped by variuos sources, which include a subscription to the broadcast industry's " Broadcast Magazine ", variuos good web sites, some seminars that I have been too, where I have made good contacts with both employees of BBC and ITV, as well as direct contact and a visit to the Yoomedia offices, I am still happy with my investment for the timescale I invested for - but that is personal to me - and would not expect anyone to have the confidence I have - unless they have done the same level of research.

Once in a while, a share comes along that has the potential to be a big winner, and in my 10 years of investing, for me, that is Yoomedia - but you will have to be patient for the reward if it comes off - equally, you may have to be prepared to lose some money - if it was that easy you we would all end up millionaires.

I like to share my findings on the BB, only for the reason that there is a few likeminded people on this BB who are of the same opinion as me regarding Yoomedia, based on their research - at the same time, their may be others looking to invest, and hopefully anything that I have posted in the past will spark the need for research - becuase that is the key to being comfortable with your ivestment DYOR !!!!! - especially at times like we have seen in the last 6 months.

For me, nothing has changed fundamenatally with the company that I invested in two years ago, apart from the fact, that the company has grown stronger in its business activities, as well as its finances as confirmed in statements fro the company.

I also take great comfort in looking back over the evolution of companies such as BSKYB - and for all the people that invested there in the early days, would have gone through exactly the same feelings as Yoomedia holders, as the company burned cash like no tomorrow in its development stage, turned in yearly losses of great magnitude, but for those that held on through this stage ( which is where Yoomedia is at present ) - look at the rewards now.

So youngpretender - do not blaim me or anyone else if you do not feel comfortable with your investment now - if you do not feel comfortable, then you have obviously not done enough of your own research.

The morale of the story - only follow someone else if you are comfortable - would you jump from a cliff, just because the man next to you did and survived ?????, would you follow anything someone said on a BB without your own research - woud you follow IC or Shares mag without your own research - if it was really this easy - we would all be millionaires.

Regards

Paul

i find the pattern of trading over the last wek intersting. The pricing dropped regularly from one buy to the next with no sells inbetween, If yo try to trad say 575000 shares they will not action in online and when a trade does go through for 100,000 + they pay a premium price.(25p/.33p). they have taken the price steadily down from 7plast Wednesday to the current offering.If they have a large overhang of stock you would think they would be encouraging larger investors, and why keep pulling the price down on the back of strong buying?If they are holding the price back for a predators offer to look good when it comes in , what will all the institutions who bought in at 15 p think of it? Or have they already bailed out? Sorry Ive got more questions than answers, but feels like somethings afoot.

i feel sorry for those who recently have put through trades of 100,000 and 200,000 at 5.75p. The other ten trades (all buys) have got theirs for only 5.62p.

Ipublic have you got an answer for post 2086 please.

Hi All,

Durlacher were bullish last year on YOO, saying buy with a 35p target at the end of June 2004.

Durlacher bought Panmure, the company that floated YOO, and Panmure are the one's on the bid at 5.25p, all the other MM's are way back on 4.75p or less.

"Completed a 7 million institutional placing in April 2004. Durlacher acted as sole Broker and Nominated Adviser to YooMedia. YooMedia offers interactive solutions for the television industry including messaging, chat, and games."

This leads me to believe that Panmure are still bullish, and maybe have a big buyer, and the other MM's are keeping out of the way, until that big order is filled, also because there are still more buys than sells, Panmure are helping the other MM's shift their stock, whilst buying at a price they, or their big buyer are happy with.

Why else would the house broker be the only one on the bid, at a big margin to other MM's, unless they either had a big buyer, or thought the price would recover nicely soon, because they had some information nobody else has, deal soon or predator ????

Anyone else care to comment ????

Cheers,
PM

Hi Paul

Thought EVO were the house broker? Or are EVO also owned by Panmure?

My concern is that this is almost exactly the same trend around 18p & 13p.

The Gull Hi,

Yeah, I just checked back on RNS's, and they changed last June to EVO, so I guess that leaves Durlacher/Panmure out on their own !

All I know apart from that is that Panmure deal with mostly USA clients, so maybe the 'predator from accross the Atlantic' could be either true, or just a rumour over there too, causing the buying from there ....

I still see the S.P at 6p+ soon, and heading towards 8p. I also hope we get good news soon to boost the price, but we will just have to wait and see on that one :)



Cheers,
PM

So its NOT the house broker then so no insider knowledge.

Nice try Paul.

I love this new filter, I don't even see Dil has posted unless I go back to the BB List :))))))))))))

Nice one MAM !

Paul ... we all know you haven't filtered me or anyone else as your scared you would miss something.
