Hi All,
I would expect a brokers note with results anyway, that is the norm.
No doubt YOO is so big now, that work should start early, with edits once the results and statements concerning the condition of the business are released.
Still nothing but buying, with a price rise comes a few auto sells, that is keeping the momentum going, so no worries :)
Cheers,
PM

Reckon YOO's Interims will be out in the next 2 weeks, also a likely report from the house brokers published around the same time. (according to whispers)
Can't wait for the H1 and H2 projections which with YOO being 'cash flow positive' should be very good.
YOO has turned the corner, and that will be confirmed very soon now. There are
not many AIM shares that have such an assured future as this one, and that is bound to be reflected in a rising SP as more people buy in to the success story that is developing.
These levels will soon be gone for ever, all the best to the traders, but buying and tucking them away for a couple of years might bring massive rewards.

Hi All,
With the buy volume being 3x the sell volume, the price is going to finish higher than the current price today.
We are going to breakout of the 12 month downtrend, we have already broken out of the 6 month downtrend, and we are well into a new 3 month uptrend.
Cheers,
PM

Hi All,
After the drop at the end, and a few fair sized sells at the end, I get the feeling we could drop a bit on monday and tuesday, probably just within the current spread, so the ask would bcome 11p, also monday and tuesday are never great days for small caps without news.
I think the results being known to be at monthend, and not before, means a few will take profit, plus there will be ups 'n downs as we get closer to the results, as people decide whether they want to be in for the results, or out.
Cheers,
PM

Here is some facts for anyone new who can't be bothered to see why some of us are getting excited about the run up to results:-
Key points - known,
2002 - yearly turnover, 40 K SP 1p
2005 - March 2005 daily turnover 266K SP current 11.25p ( yes that is daily, it is not a typing error - this fact comes from the trading statement in March )
Since March 2005 the company has been cash positive - which was still the case in June, as confirmed with the profits warning.
2004 - Losses of 24 million
2005 - Forecast losses of 1.0 million - a big turnaround.
2005 - onging contracts with FTSE 100 member William Hill, and NHS Direct, Sony remain shareholders, and Yoomedia enter into an iTV partnership with C5 - where they jointly run channel 279 on the BSKYB Platform.
Yoomedia are able to carry out business 2 consumer transactions from the same account ( e-wallet if you want to be geeky )via Mobile, Internet and DTV, and one of the only third party operators of the " Red Button " on the BSKYB Platform.
Yoomedia continue to be the preferred provider of mass SMS services to both BBC and ITV during primetime Saturday night viewing - with their patented technology, they are the only company that can allow DTV and Anlogue viewers to take part in the interactive parts of the likes of Celador's Who Want's To Be A Millionaire.
The unknown to the wider audience, which long termers predict, from various sources of information:-
1) Yoomedia will confirm that from this month, the company will move into trading profit.
2) Full year turnover likely to be in the region of 140 million - ( 384 K per day ) - incredible growth since 2002 as shown above.
3) Losses, for the full year, to be in the region of 1 million - a big turnaround since last years 24 million loss.
4) A forward projection of profits circa 10 million for 2006, with William Hill full 5 year contract kicking off in full, I am sure we will learn more about this deal, also the move for NHS direct to become more income generating, as its presence moves to Freeview, as well as the Sky Active elements becoming more two way.
5) More details of the possibility of the C5 partnership becoming more long term, which gives Yoomedia an indirect association with worldwide TV programme maker Endemol - who are going from strength to strength.
6) More details possibly on the development of Mobile gaming - don't forget, Sony are still very much invested in Yoomedia with a notifiable interest, and non exec on the board, and with Sony now going into small screen gaming with the launch worldwide this year of the handheld PSP - who knows where this association could end - it was gaming that brought Sony to Yoomedia over DTV, and I am sure it is gaming that keeps them there - with Sony's investment in Yoomedia, it is in their interest to make something of this partnership -afterall - any RNS regarding a joint gaming venture would benefit them as shareholders, and certainly would us too.
7) I am the sure with the results we will get a very upbeat trading statement, with plenty to look ahead for the future, and if we do get confirmation that this month the company has moved into a trading profit, then what a time to be as fully invested as you can.
I await the results with relish, I don't think any holder will be disappointed at the great progress Yoomedia have made this year.

I confess to being surprised . I thought that anything below 10.5 would be seen as cheap and would create a bounce. However the price reduction does seem a little over zealous I bet if 1 million buys go through it will not return to the start price! So i think there mat be an agenda here as well, especially ,as you say ,with another positive post released

Well what a surprise 1 million consecutive buys have just gone through including one for 250k and youll never guess ! The price has not gone back to where it started!(That was a good guess of mine 17 minutes ago!) I know you are as amazed as i am.The games children ( market makers) play eh
