Nav1000 bought these at 55p after MS did, been trying to average down ever since, I think he said on ADVFN that his average is now about 27p lol.

Squelch him and you never need to read his rubbish.

don't look good for YOO, you can buy 250,00 online but can only sell 25,000.

lol

my average is no where near 27p, its 5p. lol

funny how everyone says that lol.

your one sick man, how many different alias's have you got. i know of at least 5.

Only got one, sorry to disappoint you but sometimes copy and paste some people's posts. Don't really care what you think anyway, you will be messing yourself next week when YOO's crumby results come out with another promise of jam tomorrow, soon will be a 1 billion share company, more dilution on the way.

Why tvc15? Why this one man/woman vigil of hatred? Life really is too short.

Exemployee with a big grudge

Could be. If so that was at least one smart move the YOO management made!

You mean only.

xxx

I wondered when you'd show up in support of your acolyte.

he,s to lonely to go to bed

lol!

I have to say I am constantly amazed by the support that YOO get when you consider how much they have raped shareholders. Remarkable study on psychology and the power of just how far people will go to prove that they were not wrong when they were so obviously, totally wrong.

Who's supporting YOO? Appears to be a cyclical conversation this but I'm anti virulent bashers who don't own. That's not support. I'm not at all happy with the sp performance. But do you know what: I don't need serial posters with chips on their shoulders the size of Edinburgh reminding me every 10 minutes. Simple as that.

Queeny :

Name another smart move then smart arse.

courtesy of stig for advfn,


I wrote this a bit back for my own use as I kept loosing track. I hope it is of some use, my apologies for any errors or omissions. There is some more bits to add but I am not at liberty to include them without another parties permission. DYOR. Good luck to all.
Best regards Stig.
