I think this is an over reaction to comments made....this still has great long term prospects

it won't have a long term if it keeps burning cash at the current rate

It would be useful to know the current rate of "cashburn" . We know the turnover has increase significantly and how much cash out flow was during the initial months of forming the enlarged group earlier this year. Are they now month on mont cash positive?I dont think the results answer this and only cover up to the end of June so is an unusal trading period.We are lead to believe that sales are growing month on month and need to know if they now cover their cost with some to spare?
I feel like what has happened in the last 3 months trading is a very importnat part of the jigsaw

If they had the slightesty bit of good news don't you think they would have mentioned it ???
They are therefore still nowhere near being cash positive imo.

The thing that concerns me now about YOO is that everybody know companies put a shine on results at year end but if YOO did that I dread to think how dirty it was before they tried to shine it up. These results are terrible.
Also the lack of discussion of being cash flow positive is of grave concern. They were supposed to be CFP ages ago. Something is seriously wrong.

Last results were all but qualified by the auditors , they will need a miracle in the next three months to get away with not being this year.
Only way out is a rights issue imo.

despite all the negatives there isn't a vast difference between the number of buys and sells today.

PMSL at the worst ramper in the world!

Run up to the results, everyone expecting a cash-flow positive statement, that will put them through 15p maybe 20p, so the MM's want to build the price towards that, to give the stock a bit of support, rather than let it see a massive spike.
Results or the gist of them, may have been leaked already, causing the buying. Possibly a few pro investors or funds/insti's accumulating stock for the future.

Hi All,
I would certainly buy YOO stock right now, but I think it might drift to 5p maybe 4.5p, because EVO say sell with a target of 7p, and when they say that, it will always be overdone and shorted further than 7p, notice the bashers are out in force as usual, no doubt they are shorting YOO.
I see 5p to 4.5p as a bargain for the short termers, like 7p is seen as a bargain by long termers, and I will let those market forces mentioned above do the work for me.
Cheers,
PM

Would be a nice 'recovery play' as they call it.
I see a lot of potential here but I'm very dissappointed at the lack of a forward looking statement in either the Interim RNS or that crappy brokers note. No explanation at all of the W Hill situation either!
Will watch closely to see what transpires but all this has so far left me still feeling confident about the companies future prospects yet with some doubts about the management.

Pauly .... about time you changed your name again , your credibility is about 50% less than the statement from YOO re cash flow positive at the last set of results.
Keep in touch .... tw*t.
