I'm not a chartist either, but I am keen to learn the secrets of this black art.
I have seen similar charts posted many times on other boards, talking about breaking out of a downward trend, and bottomed out, and turnaround of fortunes.
I am not in the business of rubishing what anyone puts on here. I would just like to know why this chart is so lousy, when similar ones on other companies have signalled a good time to buy.

TS ... with illiquid small caps charts are not always as accurate but this share is very liquid and very tradeable so TA is as accuate here as almost anywhere.

Add to that the fundamentals are a total pile of crap and voila ..... a candidate for biggest pile of sh*te of the year.

Dil

So as you got totally stuffed with LGB, should we trust your judgement??

Have a nice weekend!

Oh go read the whole thread dickhead .... I wouldn't even invest a penny of yours in that basket case.

Told them weeks ago you can't get money out of Brazil due to the laws but no one listened.

Maybe a few of the brighter ones will here.

Unfortunatly Dil even if you are proved right one million times rather than the many correct calls you have constantly made, some people just don't get the message. It's their bloody loss at the end of the day. I honestly don't know how many times it takes to warn people, they just don't listen.

Sad thing is Scrip , from experience most of these rampers hold very few shares in the companies they ramp and do it for the hell of it.

scrip and Dil.....it is unbelievable....would be laughable if not so serious...LGB has ben a con however the people that insist in holding YOO will end up with pretty much the same....bugger all or a tiny percentage back at best.

some people cannot be told.

But surely you are not saying that YOO is as lost a case as LGB turned out to be, i personaly did loose a very small amount on the LGB debarcal but i think it has probaly taught me lessons more valueable that the money i lost. Having said that when blatent fraud is involved it makes it very difficult to to make the corrct judgement, when i invested i knew it was either a good investment or someone was going to prison, i knew the risk i took that chance. Do you really see YOO in the same light, what if it does become cash flow positive Q1 2006 also do you see the red button on your TV being a big success at all.

It didn't become cash flow positive every other quarter the board predicted so why believe them now ?

Pile of sh&te imo.

Dil

err......because the Hill's contract is on vastly improved terms. FACT!

because YOO will be receiving revenue from serveral new sources in 2006. FACT!

Then imagine the effect of a major contract or two, on revenue projections.

We cannot be far from cash flow positive and we just need an extra push.

I appreciate cash flow positive has been put back, due to poor performance in Gambling and Games, but the bears have not posted anything to convince me 2006 will not be the turn around year. Only generalistic comments.

Also, if Gambling and Games was closed, one is left with a profitable business NOW. So YOO will never go bust, at worst Gambling and Games will be closed.

Sorry bears, yoo will have to do better than that!

An interesting thread on the betfair forum:


Have you ever paid to get the results via red button?

Muqbil 26 Nov 13:41


I tried the red button today, and found out it costs money to simply check the results!!




werbie 26 Nov 13:48


i also pressed the red button this week for the first time ,cant believe anyone would want to pay for something that is readily free elsewhere .




Tallywagger. 26 Nov 13:49


thats why they dont stop banging on about it. Leeches.




Muqbil 26 Nov 14:29


They must be hoping to serve the totally compulsive gamblers who do not have access to the internet, dont have a working telephone, and do not want to change the channel to check the results on teletext!!

A valid point, Fundy, But...............
I find myself arguing this kind of case almost weekly with people who drink from the minibar in a hotel room, knowing it will cost them an arm and a leg, while a 30 second walk will take them to the hotel bar which is all inclusive. With people who happily pay extreme interest rates because they cannot be bothered to change lenders, with people who will pay the extra for an unecessary convenience that is probably no more convenient at all (Ever used your mobile in a pub, to call a landline? People do and pay up to 50p per minute instead of the payphone at less than 20p per minute).
Human nature is a strange beastie. People all over the world pay for things they do not need, do not use and could get free, or do without.
I have lost count of the number of people who have moaned that the television schedules are terrible, and that their 40 per month to Sky is a total waste, because they never watch it. Have they all had Sky disconnected? Not a bit of it. Most of them have upgraded to Skyplus, or had another box and another subscription in another room!!
If a service is there, people will use it, regardless of cost or need. The real question is whether it can be made a first choice. If it can, then cost and availability elsewhere is almost irrelevant.

"If it can, then cost and availability elsewhere is almost irrelevant"

Not with gambling, the essense of gambling is value, it's price not convieniance that is the lead. You may attract casual punters but they are a tiny tiny part of the market.

"Sorry bears, yoo will have to do better than that!"

Errr, they have no cash left. I'd say thats quite a negative.

errr..........read the RNS........still quite happy.

which one ?

the one about them being skint ?

"errr..........read the RNS........still quite happy. "

LOL, Have you been an investor for long?

No, the one about the significant hidden value in Dateline. The one about several interested parties. The one about a partial sale of equity in Dateline, which will clean up the balance sheet and provide marketing opportunities for the group as a whole.

Did you really invest in LGB?

You silly sausauge!

Based in Bermuda, banking in Brazil, contracts in Argentina, auditors in Spain, cash in Holland, not subject to U.K. law. What did you expect to happen?

Why should we take anything you say seriously, ever again?

WHAT A DIL!!!

Scripophilist

The last sentence in the second last paragraph and the last paragraph are linked. I've read it 1000 times and still can't see the problem, providing one believes the RNS's content, which is something we all must decide for ourselves.

No I didn't but with your track record I guess you probably did.
