Think was a sell as you get 20.5p to sell online but there again it could have also been a buy at midprice, discount for buying a million. Another good sign is MM buying at full price, I think it is set to mover higher this week IMHO. Again you can ask yourself if it is a sell why would they give 0.5p over the selling price for 1 million shares, very doubtful to me if the shares are not needed by someone.

When is the EVO statement due?

any time after 21st of this month.

Cheers mactavish

Anyone know what's going on with yoo this morning. Complete opposite to yesterday with loads of sells. Did the mm's scare everyone off yeaterday by not raising the price?

This is annoying snaylor. Millions of buys yesterday and the price doesnt move. A few hundred thousand sells today and the price falls????? I am i just being naive or is that just a tad unfair?

Could be the mms very short of stock and trying to panic people into selling--check out grevis on the evs -envesta thread he explains the ways of the mms. They must have sold all those millions yesterday now they need to cover it. They're not having mine!! cheers MP

wHAT DOES IT TELL YOU THAT LESS THAN 100,000 BUYS AND THE BID GOES UP .75 COULD IT BE THAT THE OVERHANG HAS NOW GONE AND THEY NEED STOCK.

Well all i can say is that the MM'S tree shake not very successful.

I can't see today's level of prices lasting after the results are out, so between now and the results, I feel with all the positive news out in the open, and with a broker upgrade out soon, time is against anyone buying at these lows - here are the highlights from the last couple of months:-

1) Successful reverse takeover of DITG Group - making Yoomedia second only to BSKYB in the UK Digital TV arena, complete with its own iTV gaming channels, and now owner of a third party red button return path for iTV - all very good news for the medium to long term as the UK and Worldwide take up of digital increases on a daily basis.

2) Yoomobile - now looking like the choice of many top Broadcasters to add interactivity to their digital and anologue broadcasts - based on the fact that the medium can be used anywhere there is a TV - therefore not resticting to playing and participating at home - also, interactive advertising is on the increase enabling advertisers to keep in touch and build a database of its customers, Yoomobile via its client, Celador, is now rolling out this technology worldwide, across all the 100+ countries that Who Wants To be A Millionaire is broadcast, and is able to support the timestamping SMS technology that Yoomobile is able to provide, other clients from the broadcasting world include, BBC, C4, C5, ITV and C5 - let me see, that is all the mainstream national broadcasters that hold most of the share of the TV ratings - not also forgetting that Yoomedia is the only iTV provider that is able to interact on all UK digital mediums - Freeview, BSKYB, NTL & Telewest - by 2012 Yoomedia will have access to every household in the UK - fact, as the anologue airwaves are needed elsewhere.

3) It has also come to light over the last week, that Yoomedia are behind the high profile KitKash national campaign, commisioned by Worldwide company Nestle - already major prizes such as a new Peugeot 206 and 5000.00 holiday have been given away - the success of this campaign is sure to attract other high level advertisers to try this idea for customer loyalty and building of a customer data base.

4) Successful launch of Fancy A Flutter online - net sales above 1 million per month based more than 1 million paid out in winnings.

5) To top all of this, it is great to see a high level of interest from major institutions such as Lloyds TSB, Scottish Widows, Perpetual and Universities Superanuation Scheme - between them they have taken a 16.10 % stake in the company - I am happy to be in the company of such investors.

Unless all the analysts are wrong regarding the growth of DTV worldwide, the growth of online and iTV gambling, I can't see any reason for Yoomedia not to grow substantially over the next 10 years - just look at the tunover growth of BSKYB over the last 5 years, together with its profit growths - Yoomedia are now taking advantage of all the monies spent by the likes of BSKYB and Freeview in getting the hardware into peoples homes - a great business model, as used by eBay to acheive 45 fold growth over the last 3 years ( Microsoft and all the PC manuafactures paid for the hardwork of getting the internet and hardware into peoples homes )

Today's drop is down to short termers taking profits, and you can't blaim them, if I was a short termer, I too would be pleased with 20% growth over the last couple of months - but the exodus is not that great, only 325 K of sales, which is pretty insignificant in the big picture, and as I type, the price is back on the up - as more buyers come in to buy at these low levels.

Crap shares - crap directors - and crap Market Makers! IMHO - even though I am still a holder - just!

Bit churlish I admit!

Well it looked like a normal days trading to me, a little tree shake to get rid of the weak which was not very successful. My guess is the overhang is gone and they are short of shares thus tree shake.

Agreed ! Poverty hang in there/accumulate and you might soon have to change your name!

I thought the rise to 20p last week was where all the fun would begin. Looks like it was a false start. Roll out the EVO statement! Surely we'll see some real action after that.

Found you Poverty! Deserts SEO with a load of negative comment and camps down over here and starts putting out negative comment,EVEN THOUGH HE HOLDS SHARES. Reminds me of HeeHaw who was always spreading gloom and lived in a gloomy place!. Listen to moneyplus; an attractive, positive lady might get you to change your ways! Lets share together: - 1..2..3.. lol! rofl! :o)

I'm a little confused as to the actual value of YOO what with all the placings and aquisitions etc. Thanks in advance for your time.

jmayell, the city values this company at about 90m market cap & there are about 454m shares in issue = about 20p/share. The actual value of the share is anyones guess, if you believe it a good company you will belive it to be worth more, if you believe it to be a bad company you will believe it to be worth less. Only you can make that decision upon doing your own research, or you can wait until the broker revalues this company which will be some time after the 21Feb and still even after the broker has valued the company the city may still believe it to be worth more or less. ie your guess is good as anyones.LOL.

Thank you for the compliment Eric-you're a real gentleman. Definitely getting more assertive with the whingers though! lol MP

jmayell: value is a bit difficult to read. Share capital was increased from 125M to around 450M at time of reverse takeover in December. The shares were placed at 15p so the implied cap. of 67.5m would appear to underpin the sp. There has been a trickle of encouraging news re interactive DTV, etc., but is likely to be the gambling side which makes the running. You only need to look at the soaring price of NLR (make their money with the gamblers "wallet") and the implied price of Party Poker, for instance, to realise where the sp could go with success in the gambling arena. At 20p the downside is a third and the upside could be 100% or more which, for me, is a decent risk ratio.
