Hi All,

Nice to see people here other than the basher dilbrain, I have the idiot squelched, but I can only guess at the level of abuse aimed at me, from a low life like dilbrain.

It's going to be another funny share this, because the price will keep going up, and dilbrain will still be here bashing when the S.P gets to 's, just wait and see !

Cheers,
PM

Can't wait.

kalsi69 - 03 Aug 2005 12:19 - 2259 of 3776

cant wait cause your short postion on Yoo has been blown out, stop your losses mate.....cause its just going up from here....

robstuff - 03 Aug 2005 12:21 - 2260 of 3776

I have now doubled so glad i didn't take any notice. I expect 15p quite achievable in next couple of mths.

Scripophilist - 03 Aug 2005 12:43 - 2261 of 3776

Dil check out how they amortise cost of producing these services. No wonder they are focusing on EBITDA.

kalsi69 - 03 Aug 2005 13:27 - 2262 of 3776

You amortise goodwill or research and development, depreciate assets and expense costs to produce services.....not amortise costs to produce services.....ok

This thread is pure fantasy Scrip , please lets not bring facts and figures into upset things.

Do you think the next accounts will be qualified Kalsi , last set all but were and we've had a profit warning since.





paulmasterson1 - 03 Aug 2005 13:35 - 2265 of 3776


Hi All,

Well the moment has arrived, the time I said YOO would reach 8p, in fact the bid has reached 8p in online quotes, so I guess I am now OFFICIALLY proven right :)

dil and sequestor can now officially 'do one' !!!!

Cheers,
PM

kalsi69 - 03 Aug 2005 13:45 - 2266 of 3776

Depends on the Auditors perception, if they think the new deals will bring in the income and expenses would be well covered, they dont need to qualify the accounts, it could be a viable business and hence its reflecting in the share price...

Well done Paul - thanks for the tip

From Paul Smith. Thanks Paul.


10 million turnover was the figure mentioned at a recent meeting with Dr Sinclair, which was not disputed, in anycase, we know the figurers back in March were 8 million per month, since then the company has signed many new contracts, so there you have your answer, natural continuing growth since the published March figures.

Dr Sinclair had no answer as to why the SP was so low, just market over reaction to certain newsflow, and in the cold light of day, the last year end figures have nothing to show for the future, apart from words.

However, i believe those words, which is now being backed up with Significant newsflow.

I am of the opinion that the shares are greatly undervalued at present, hence the reason I was pleased to be able to buy again in recent times at 3.9p, because the market got it wrong, this opinion is based on a vast amount of research I have done over the last two years since I have been an investor.

Any Chief Exec who has the balls to come out and meet three private investors, at a location of their choice, not his, who are all severely out of pocket at the moment, myself, by some 69%, to explain why he is excited about his company, in the light of the current share price, deserves some credit.

I make no secret of the fact that after that meeting, I am confident that in my 3 - 5 year timescale, which started in 2004, not only will I recover my 69% loss, but will end with with substantial gains.

Dr Sinclair is a very sucessful businessman, I have been fortunate in my working life to be surrounded with many successful businessmen, to the point, it has also helped to make me successful in my field of work, to the point that I don't have to work full time at the age of 41 - what I am trying to say here, is the man at the top of the tree is very successful, and enthusiastic about his business, this in turn rubs off on his staff, who have an average age of just 30 - they will be doing their upmost to realise Dr Sinclairs aim of building an internationally successful company in its chosen field, they will have the strength and ability to fend off any future competition, because it is not easy now to start up a company like theirs, you have seen how long it has taken Yoomedia to get where they are now, iTV is happening all around us now, not only here in the UK, but worldwide, Yoomedia are there, now, ready to pounce on any opportunity that arrises, and believe me, there will be a lot of opportunity from now, right at this very moment, and when the USA is fully ready for this new emerging market, Yoomedia will be there ready and waiting, they will have ironed out all the problems here in the UK.

Look at eBay - a classic example, they found their market in the USA, cornered it there, then rolled it out worldwide - look at QXL, look at Amazon, look at Aucland - they all tried to muscle in on eBay's market here in the UK, but failed, but eBay had done all the hardwork in the three years prior, and now have the most successful online Auction House on the internet - that is exactly where Dr Sinclair wants to be with iTV in the years to come, and I for one have full confidence that he will get Yoomedia into that situation - already Yoomedia are way ahead of any competition, why, because they bought all the competition they needed, and they are now part of Yoomedia - that took some doing by a company that was virtually worthless 3 years ago.

How many companies do you know that can offer its brand, seamlessly via Mobile, PC and iTV - as per the RNS yesterday - the three biggest worldwide media that keep the world in touch with each other - ????????, I can't think of any, but I can think of a lot of companies that would like to use this technology, just think if eBay wanted the use of this technology - I for one am a big user of eBay, and would love the use of seamless integration between my mobile, PC and TV - and if I am thinking that as an end user, then you can rest assured that once companies who can benefit from Yoomedia's technology see it working, they will want to place their orders with Yoomedia.

The news this week is very substantial, hence the reason Yoomedia put it out, it really has changed the face of the company, and in time, this will reflect in the SP, which at the present time is a bargain.

These oportunities are very few and far between, and I am glad, for once, I have not missed it, usually I am the sucker that looks at Sportingbet at 20p two and a half years ago, and then take a look now and see 369p - that is the reality with Yoomedia - do you want to be one of the suckers now looking at 7p - and then looking in three years down the road at 300p.

Don't invest without research, as times like the last couple of months will only cause you sleepless night, I now have my shares at an average of 19p - and over the last few months have never slept better, because I have been happy with my level of research, and am not silly enough to realise, that at the end of the day we are investing on AIM, there will be volotility along the way, but if you have confidence in your research, and take the time to find out more about the company itself, what it does, about the people that run it, what they have acheived, then you too will sleep well, dreaming about the future.

Regards

Paul

From Paul Smith. Thanks Paul.


Gingerman - yes - a fantastic result since the meeting with Dr Sinclair - thanks for inviting me along.

It really had reinforced what I have suspected all the time - for once I feel I have been in the right place at the right time with an investment decision.

Exciting times ahead, as you can tell Dr Sinclair's excitement has rubbed off on to me over the past few days, and have enjoyed posting once again, in the knowledge that any RNS we now see, will contain significant news, I look forward to each and everyone of them, over the next few months I am sure.

Who will be the first major worldwide company that Yoomedia take on as a client, wanting use of their seamless integration of PC, Mobile and iTV, all via one e-wallet - lets hope eBay open their eyes and see it, infact, with the excellent reputation I have with eBay, who used me in a lot of their early pulicity because I was one of the first UK residents that signed up for an eBay account in Oct 1998, when the service was still just based in the USA. I might just have to suggest it to them, I want eBay on my PC, Mobile and BSKYB - and Yoomedia are the only company around who could do this - and I like the sound of that.

Just imagine what a deal like that could do the shareprice - that is the reality we now face, now Yoomedia have brought this to the marketplace for everyone to see - and I think the market is waking itself up to this fact - the SP is now like a timebomb waiting to explode on possible news like this - now I know exactly what Dr Sinclair meant when he said future RNS would contain significant news, Now I can see why Dr Sinclair wanted to meet you, he was worried about you selling and missing the boat.

For you - I am glad you came away from that meeting not wanting to sell any longer, for me, I was just glad to be given the opportunity to back up my investment decision to give Yoomedia a 3 - 5 year timescale to acheive their goal of worldwide domination of iTV services, and now, seamless integration of Mobile, PC and Internet, all from one e-wallet - amazing potential, and opportunity, many businesses will be watching the progress of the Avago rollout, drooling at the prospects for there own companies balance sheets.

Regards

Paul

Mactavish ... have you and Paul Smith got a Craig and Anthony type of relationship ... you seem bessoted with him.

Cheers kalsi ... unless they can make some real money then I fear the worst and I haven't seen anything yet that looks remotely feasible in bringing these to profitability .

Good look.
