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,

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 :)

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

Nice try Paul.

Nice one MAM !

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

Good luck.

I see Yoo are now the 3rd largest provider of interactive services in the UK after BBC(supposed partner) & Sky. Thought they were the 2nd largest after sky. Who knows maybe maybe ITV will take 3rd place leaving us 4th & last?

whats going on:

answer:
they are taking on too much, too quickly,without being more diligent,
expansion is great, if you do it in a balanced way,
there will be no short term solution,
maybe next year?

well surprise surprise, buys were greater than sells again today and youll be shocked to know they took the price down again.YOO seem very quiet about everything. dont they have a view on(or care) why their share price is falling to pieces?However in their defence ( a bit) the trading has been encouragingly consistent for buys greater than sells over the last week.

Willfagg Hi,

Yeah, the buying really was good this afternoon, as the bargain hunters piled in yet again. More of the same tomorrow methinks.

Those who thought YOO were going to go down further, must see that support is very good at this level, and the only way is up.

Take a look at the intraday chart, and you will see that whilst other stocks had a price drop, as soon as the bombings were known, YOO held strong for a very long time.

i myself think the best you will get is about 9p max for this year anyway,
i still think there are more skeletons in the cupboard,and the company is on a knife edge at the moment,ok i suppose if you have your hand on the panic button,
not a share for the faint hearted,

Nooboo Hi,

I don't call being into a monthly profit in the next 3 months 'skeletons in cuboards', neither is the new YES division, or the rollout of products and technologies in USA in the next few months, or the ability to offer text messaging for all TV aired in UK public houses .... likely to get a contract for the new footy season, maybe rugby too, and many other Sky Sports exclusives ....

'Knife edge' my ar5e ....

The huge spread is holding the price back at the moment, once the mms reduce it, more buyers will be attracted.

As you probably know from my boringly frequent comments during the lasy week I believe the share price has been systematically pulled down c 2p when it should have gone up,
However on this ocassion I would have thought that by narrowing the spread they would probably take the lower limit higher which would make the price more attractive to sellers. IMO

They must have been listening to you they narrowed the spread and a sell went through then they pressed the WRONG button coz the price went UP!
God there will be hell to pay someone is for the chop , been engineering the price down for a week and some "Rookie" comes in and takes the price up!!!
Sorry must be end of week syndrome , just sometimes find price movements hilarious and inexplicable.

I believe by the end of the day, normal spread of about .5 - .75 will be resumed with the bid (lower) rising. The low bid was spooking the nervous. Then we will see more buying rather than selling and the price will resume it's upward trend to 7p again and on to 8.

nice to see all the positives, but still a bit too risky at the moment
i have read the results and recent rns,and still believe things could go either way
so i am not prepaired to take the gamble, at this stage anyway,
hope you see my point,

Hi All,

Not a bad day, with a few sells early on, the price didn't drop, and started moving up as soon as decent buys started coming in.

Hopefully news will arrive soon enough to get the S.P back where it tbelongs :)

At least we can be fairly (99% ?) confident that the price isn't going down ....

Cheers,

Hi Paul!

Thanks for the tip! (Maybe a tad premature)

Did a bit of research and decided to invest a couple of weeks ago. Reasonably confident so far.
