Buys have exceeded sells every day now for over a week, with little effect on the SP. The problem is that volumes are low - for instance, 1.74m shares is only 100,000, which is nothing. If you're looking to make a few bob 'day trading' you've missed the boat.
If you're interest is as a medium term proposition, you'll find it easy to research, with the company's own site a good starting point. It has a dating operation, which is probably a sound business but not dynamic - the demand for sex/marriage doesn't change that much. I can see it being disposed of in due course as non-core. The gambling part caused the recent heavy fall, ostensibly because it was announced this year's figures would fall short of expectations. I suspect there's more to it than that - likely that the rate of development with William Hill is slower than initially thought, and isn't fully operational yet.
The interesting bit is YES, the multimedia marketing package. Have a look at kitkash.co.uk for the sort of thing they can put together. Everyone knows that ITV cannot begin to deliver the sort of saturation coverage it once did and if YOO really can, there is explosive growth potential. However, this is the newest part of the business, almost a start-up, therefore completely unproven. However it could make a serious impact with advertisers in the run up to Xmas.
Another thing worth noting is that several extremely successful businessmen have significant stakes. They're not infallible, but you don't get rich by being an idiot who can't tell a good investment from a bad one.
No two ways, YOO is speculative. I'm not expecting any great price change yet (9p or so), but do think that 50p (it's been there before) is achievable if EPS get to 2p, the (limited) consensus estimate for 2006.

There's no reason for this share to be so low and Yoo will see a bounce back to realistic level soon, i'd be very surprised to see it lower than 10p in a month's time.

It is some bozzo with multiple identities who is doing the deramping, trying to get in at a lower price, the same person was saying that YOO would be 20p shortly. that was before he sold at a profit last week.

I am not convinced he has multiple ID's I think its various people, I think your talking about bluedolphin, I have been following him around, he is doing rather well, he is in TED at moment, ramping like a mad man

Well why did he start up the 20p thread for Yoo? All the the derampers posts all come about the same time as Bluedolphine. Usually within about a minute of each other.

Yep, multiple user and he'll get his fingers burnt like they did on this site couple of weeks ago, note they don't have any actual info - nothing to back up their claims. Sme news will be released by Yoo and the sp will rocket.

the sells are small nobodys, note also the shares are mopped up in larger buys - see later before close (usually announced late to put you of the scent)

Never follow the herd, if they're all saying sell then at this low price with the price quite stable it's a Sure buy! The same idiots were saying it was a buy at 28 with 2 price target and not a lot has changed since.

Can anyone tell me why every time I access this thread I receive a Security Alert associated with a certifcate issued by AvagoTV?
Seems very strange, perhaps someone has installed some HTML code within the thread?

It happened to me and I realised it was some graphic that iPublic had posted.
I squelched him and it has stopped it.
