Evo research note will be out in the new year. Notifiable interest releases today show the kind of Parties getting involved who would never have even looked at YOO prior to enlargement............take heart from this. Theres no looking back now!

Institutions on board just wait for the acquisitions to start producing results and then the sp will go north! I feel a possible multi bagger for those with patience and vision!! they won't be this price in 6 months time--IMHO. DYOR etc!

Like the look of this so bought in earlier. Looks a good year ahead for yoo. Doin well on jarvis at the mo.

wilbs

moneyplus,
We were saying won't be paying this price when at 25-30p not so long back, we were right, the tossers reduced it significantly. Before you say it, I know it looks good for the future from here and maybe they say it had to be this way to get the funds but still not happy that existing holders did not get a chance of options at 15p. Anyway, still holding at loss, if you are right I will get out when I have my money back and invest in a company that treats non-institutional, ordinary shareholders with a tad of decency and respect.
Strange thing is, I should have bought shares in Jarvis instead, would have made decent profit by now that could have been put into Yoo at less than 20p!!
That's ya choice, invest in basket case and make a quick buck or invest in decent looking company and get screwed by the management!!
My head says buy more YOO but,,,, not a happy bunny.

Andy-don't blame you for feeling sore! I feel the same about CFP, change of management shares driven down etc! But despite the way it was done and the weak excuses that they needed the cash asap. the deal looks excellent for their future growth so I hope the institutions must be buying for long term and I'm happy to hang in there with them. ps I jumped in and bought more CFP--sucker or what?? 2005 fingers crossed. Didn't have the nerve to buy Jarvis as I got my fingers badly burnt with Marconi--will take years to even break even there!

When they believe the company to be worth more than it is at the moment they will issue more shares. +/- 20p for a couple of years if all goes well.

moneyplus

You and I are suckers in common - in YOO and CFP! Mind you, look back at the success stories and it is rarely a straightforward process; ASC is a good case in point. I reckon one is generally better off trading companies you know, partly because you are better able to predict movements and, if the unpredictable happens as with both YOO and CFP, better able to react promptly. My view is that both will be amongst the winners for 2005.

Eric

Standard life disposed of all their shares in May 2003, cant seam to find when they reinvested. Anyone care to enlighten?

andysmith, only just read your post and it reflects how i feel. will the price make rapid progress?Once everyone had got their cheap shares you would think the price would have already moved north?

Will, on some other bb's such as BPRG, i know investors are pissed off with traders driving the sp and some are on hefty losses right now. What pisses me off with this one is that normal people invest in a company and get screwed.
Tempted to say fuck it, sell the bastards and send the money to the Tsunami fund, a much more deserving cause than these "feather your own nest" wankers.

I still think YOO will do well, just don't like way we've been treated, like alot of things, not what you do, it's the way that you do it.

Still if SEO do as I expect, I won't give a shit, Yoo is less than 5% of my portfolio anyway.

andysmith

I share much of your frustration. I do accept, though, that the company has moved on to higher ground with substantial institutional investors. The price doesn't seem to react to the previous level of small trades, nor even to the #30K sale late today. A key event will be the expected forthcoming Evolution statement which presumably will include forecasts. Any talk of YOO being the microsoft of digital TV is bound to bring the speculators. Sky may be a better comparator but that type of comparison would also take them to higher ground. However, my interest has waned somewhat because its difficult to see the multiples with the cap already at #60m.

Eric

Yep, definitely frustrated with this one, let my anger out in last post.
I will see what happens but if no tick-up in sp early in 2005 will put the dosh elsewhere and forget about it.

To all, apologies for my appalling language on post 410, just how it makes YOO feel. 2004 was my first year at this with more downs than ups but some good winners and good potentials for next year that I am ever hopeful of.
Made mistakes, hope I learn from them but YOO shows some are out of your hands.
Good luck to all in 2005.

This BB has given me my best year for years. Better than any mag. tips to follow the threads and research the ones that interest you. I try to watch then pick ones that make decent profits for a bit of safety, plus lots of potential growth even then you need the market to like them and push the share price up otherwise you sit on them for months with very little movement--boring!!
Good ones so far are ACE, NLR, SBT. I am still waiting for SCD and PAY to take off but I'm confident they will. This is only my opinion not recommends DYOR and good luck for 2005! Any shares that Goldfinger posts on are usually but not always worth following he does a lot of research. The real money seems to lie in trading but I'm too much of a coward! cheers MP

Yoomedia Launches FancyaFlutter.co.uk
By staff
16 December 2004, London. Yoomedia PLC ('Yoomedia'), the interactive entertainment company, has today announced the launch of FancyaFlutter.co.uk. in a move that extends its position at the leading edge of interactive gaming in the UK.

The launch of the new website marks Yoomedia's first step into online gaming, and is an important step in the company's goal to establish its gaming brands across all the major interactive media including Digital TV, the web and mobile phone. Since its launch in February 2003, FancyaFlutter has also enjoyed a prominent position within Sky Active's Betting Zone.


The move also compliments Yoomedia's recent merger with DITG (Digital Interactive Television Group), whose gaming assets include the Avago and William Hill channels on Sky. All of Yoomedia's gaming brands operate in the 'soft', fixed odds gaming market, a sector which has seen massive growth in the last 12 months, particularly among women.


The launch of the online version of FancyaFlutter has allowed Yoomedia to develop better quality, more sophisticated games than are possible over digital interactive television. New features of the online games include animation that improves the visual experience for gamers, a winners area which showcases the latest lucky players and the ability to adjust the volume and picture quality according to the speed of your internet connection. New games include Neptune's Keno, Grand National Keno and Kenosaurus, as well as multi-line slot games, Horror Show and Monte Carlo Millions. The site will also include roulette, Beachball Bingo and scratch card game, Dino Scratch.


Commenting on the launch, David Docherty, Yoomedia's CEO, said: 'The launch of FancyaFlutter.co.uk consolidates Yoomedia's position at the forefront of interactive gaming in the UK. Yoomedia now have a strong presence on all the main interactive platforms, including television, mobile and now online. FancyaFlutter has developed into a strong, popular brand on Sky, and due to the high quality of the games we have developed, and the simple way in which you can play for as little as 10 pence, we expect FancyaFlutter.co.uk to attract large numbers of players in the online world'.


FancyaFlutter.co.uk will be supported with a promotional campaign and will include email, mobile, affiliate and SEO elements as well as partnership promotions.

Lots of buying today-sp recovering, those who are still in should be feeling happier. I hope 30p by Easter!

Good to see the sp recovering - volumes not so high; some positive days at 17p saw no share movement. How do you justify projection of 30p given that would mean cap. of 135M. Have little doubt of potential but suspect it may take quite a bot longer. Shouldn't we have had Evolution statment by now? Letting the CFD position run and may well add to it on positive news.
