Not really a fair question, Scrip. This takes absolutely no account of the balance theory or attitude to risk.
I am a small(ish) investor, playing the markets much as I would any other gamble, with money I can afford to lose and a good spread of sectors and small/medium/large cap companies as well as bonds, derivatives, properties and a cash balance.
Would i sink 40m into YOO? No. Would I invest it? Yes. Would that include Yoo? Yes, if it fitted the portfolio and risk/reward ratio I was after. Does that make me not a true investor? NO.
I treat YOO as one of those oddities that will either go bump and I will lose the lot or a shooter that will hit the big time. I get lots of little ones where I lose cash but a few multi-baggers mean I am in profit overall. It's how I play the markets, and everyone plays them his own way. I feel somewhat hurt by your opinion that this means I am not a true investor, but each to his own opinion. Yoo may be a dog and you may be right, but that is the nature of a market.

I stand by my comments concerning the RNS. If I'm wrong, I'll be the first to congratulate you. Spend 45m to make yearly profits in the future of , nothing wrong with that, IF it happens.

YOO have told investors how further funding will be achieved. By selling a partial stake of Dateline, clearing the balance sheet and providing increased marketing opportunity's for the group. YOO also say the significant value of Dateline is masked within the group, a statement written when the market cap was 45m+. If this is a lie, I'll be the first to congratulate you, however, I choose to believe the company statement.

Sinclair is personally guaranteeing a 6m overdraft. I can assure you, if the prospects were that dire, a hugely discounted placement would already have been rushed out, to remove the personal burden on him. 99% of AIM companies would have done this already. He must be confident and how many AIM chairman do you khow, who act in this way?? This is bullish.

Regarding your second post. It's a silly question. Not even going to dignify it with a reply.

.

What a good intelligent debate. It makes a real change after reading the the TAD thread. You're both putting good arguments and will interesring to see which way it goes. 7.25p at end of fridays dealings.

Time will tell dil. you got it right with brpg BUT they are making a comeback, you also doubted IQE which is also making a slow comeback. i love your down to earth posts being a welshman i wouldnt expect anything less (great rugby win by the way). could you give one share you are positive about??

kivver-check out PMK and CSB -I'm happy with these. cheers MP

"Not even going to dignify it with a reply."

That speaks volumes, thanks. You are basically saying no else you would have come outright and said yes.

IMHO if anybody can't answer yes to my question then you are speculating, not investing and therefore you should scale your approach in line with that. Lets put things into perspective for everybody on here.

If I had 10 for every wonderful idea and product put forward by technology companies I'd be the richest man in the world. If I had invested 10 in each I'd probably be the poorest.

YOO doesn't have anything particulary innovative, that can't be copied that can't be done without. That couldn't be overhauled by a competitor or copied if it really is profitable. They haven't done a particular good job so far at convert ideas to money, I expect that to continue. At best a very very very high risk speculation.

Kivver .... Supporta (SOR) , nice chart.

Good luck.

Don't be silly.

I'm an ordinary bloke. If I had 40m, I'd sit on a beach and surround myself with women. I invest to (the dream) make a huge lump sum. We all do.

However, if I were a large media player, yes, I'd be very interested, if it fitted into my business plan. Why not?

Still say it was a stupid question.

Well done for spotting 8 out of 10 new technology companies fail. This is AIM you know. If YOO is the one to succeed, I'll be rich, if not then I lose. But I already know that. I don't need you to tell me!

So you don't believe YOO will reach cash flow postive next quarter, even though the HIll's contract is on much better terms and other organic revenue kicks in next year + chance of new contracts - NTL?

Well that's your perogative. Let's see who is right!

The only the reason the contract was renegociated was because YOO said they would go bust if it was not put back on the table again. Anybody can see that.

"Well that's your perogative. Let's see who is right!"

That's funny, I don't need to wait I have been calling each profit warning on the way down and right back from when they had plenty of funding. It's alwasy been a rotten business through and through. Despite much opposition I have saved people a fortune so far.

I don't think it's me that has anything to prove but at least readers of this thread have a more balanced opinion now.

Scripophilist

and you will end up costing people a fortune.

Just my opinion old chap!

Not making money is not the same as losing 90% of your pot which is what would have happened if people had followed the hopeless optimism on this thread so far. I'd say I have done a pretty good job and have nothing to prove. People have a much more balanced opinion now.

Feel free to post up your forecast of their next results, what cash flow, what profits they have and how much cash they have left and give people something to go on IPublic then maybe I'll believe your hype.

If YOO can squeak out of the hole they have dug and start getting some cash into the business then if you are a complete speculator it would be an interesting punt. As it is they are still periously close to runing out of cash and speculators will lose all their money if they run out of cash.

iPublic,

Don't you think it's about time you came clean on why you are so positive about YOO's prospects?

His grandad probably runs the company.
