Thanks for the input mactavish!
Have only held Yoo for about 3 weeks (ave price 6.5p) and haven't done the depth of research you have, nor did I fully appreciate the significance of the last RNS but I'm now not only feeling more positive about my investment but I'm also considering topping up further!
Dil,
Thanks for all your informative, witty posts!
Keep 'em coming, I'm sure most visitors to this bb must be as impressed as I am with your thorough research and level headed analysis!

Stringy ... go read the accounts , the profit warning and then that story about the Emperors Clothes. These are going bust imo.

Dil old bean, let's face it. Nobody wants you on here. Nobody values your opinion. And even if you are proved right and the company goes tits up nobody will be patting you on the back. Do you really think that people will think better of you? Why is it that you crave this attention? I suggest that you stick to your sheep and stop worrying the rest of us.

Some really large sells at the end there, will we see profittaking tomorrow? To see it resume it's downward path would be depressing and may spook a lot into selling as it will be a while before the benefits of the new product show. I may sell half as i've doubled up, that way i don't have to worry but I think the long term for YOO is interesting however it takes so long to see profits from this sector whilst in it's infancy and cashcalls will be necessary if it continues to make big losses and takeovers. What i can guarantee is that it's not going to be a smooth ride.

This looks like it is going back to 14 - 16p as fast as it came down.

Agree that it looks good, but there is bound to be some profit taking soon, which will halt the rise, or even see it slip back a little, IMO. I will sit tight through that and hold on for the other side, but it's never wrong to take a profit.

I sold up on a limit order which i was going to cancel. For me YOO was a gamble which delivered and I consider myself lucky.
Best wishes to those seroius about YOO. If it goes south again maybe Ill have another go.

Paul - I like reading your research - and I think that you have been proved right (again) on Yoo - but I dont like your self gratification - it undermines your credibility - leave that to others.
Otherwise - another excellent bit of research and another excellent tip at 4p. I salute you sir and thank you.

YooMedia's Dateline launches mobile video dating with 3
YooMedia plc, the interactive media group, has today launched the UK's first
mobile phone video dating service in association with 3, the UK's leading
third-generation network operator.
The service, operated by YooMedia's Dateline subsidiary, will be available from
today to the entire 3 customer base, which is currently 3.2 million subscribers.
The Dateline 3G service enables mobile subscribers to find a prospective partner
using the power of video through a simple and intuitive user interface on a
mobile handset. The mobile video service is the latest in the Dateline product
portfolio, which includes services for Internet, Interactive TV, IVR and mobile
SMS and MMS - all tied into a large database of active single people and a
sophisticated matching system.
Dateline 3G allows mobile users to create a sign-up, create a profile and to
review prospective partners through their mobile phone. The service is designed
to fit the particular operability of mobile phones by providing very simple
navigation, timely updates, and content packaged in small clips.
While the launch of this product is in the ordinary course of business for
YooMedia, it represents an important strategic goal. The directors do not expect
the new service to have a material impact on the company's financial results for
the year ending 31 December 2005. However, they are optimistic about the
contribution that will be made in the following financial year.
Neil MacDonald, group managing director of YooMedia, said: 'The mobile phone is
the obvious device for people interested in dating to use and the video clips
really make the experience work. This is another example of YooMedia being able
to leverage its excellent content and brands across all platforms.'

Took some profit this a.m a little early but there's sure to be huge profit taking any time now, has over doubled on some news that a new product (which chances are won't take off and make huge losses) is being launched. So why did it fall to 3.5p? Sorry to turn negative but think it's been overdone.

Chart shows a breakout above previous high from falling off the cliff ... but show me the profits !!
Yesterdays and todays announcements mean sod all but make hay while the sun shines. If you can sell to a bigger idiot than yourself at a higher price than you bought at then thats what its all about.
Still going bust imo.
