I am overweight in YOO but I am starting to get annoyed. I would have expected a steady rise following the trickle of info recently. Is it just because people are put off by YOO's poor track record with investors, esp. the share placement that diluted share price, possibly waiting for hard profit announcements before they plough their money in?

Price drop, probably as a consequence of news that Lloyds TSB have sold their stake. Not surprising, because you would expect them to take a cautious stance. Gives a buying opportunity.

Eric

Maybe some clever work by Lloyds TSB:-

Dump a few shares so that they can drop below the 3% so the market has to be notified.

Bank on this news causing a panic and a price drop

Then next week - buy more like mad to get a more substantial holding at a cheaper price.

I wouldn't trust any bank as far as I could throw them.

Also, interesting to note that Scottish Widows as part of the Lloyds TSB group are holding firm.

I was informed that Lloyds TSB bought these shares for their company pension scheme, so on that note, if they were able to protect a 33% increase in a short space of time, they have done a good job for the pension fund.

Certainly nothing to be worried about, a simple case of a large institution making a short term profit - not uncommon, and the shares have already been taken up elsewhere without any problem - we do not know the full extent of the sale, it is quite possible they have still retained a holding of some type.

There is enough information out there to back up the future growth of Yoomedia, and once again, we get a good chance to buy at a good price, IMHO - all will be revealed very shortly when we get a trading update and notice of results.

Regards

Well the mug punters who sold at 16.5p must be gutted.

interesting trading today- overwhelmingly sells up until about 2.30pm and then nearly all buys. Lots of people taking advantage of the drop to increase their holding.

EW Robson - the Eternal optomist!

I was not negative about SEO - just not convinced until a week before they zoomed - and I enjoyed that boom greatly - I think long term they are a Gem! - just want to wait and see where they bottom out currently as I don't expect any news for a while. I like SEO as a share that are going places!

YOOMedia are a different animal! I think the MarketMakers in YOO are having a laugh with us. I hate YOO media for costing me a packet in Nov last - I still hold some shares but was mighty happy I tipped most of them out to join the SEO party. YOO will need dynamite in huge quantities (not the woman who posts!) plus some sustained real good news flow otherwise I can see 17.5p in Dec next!!!

Bah Humbug!

Poverty: Thanks for the compliment - I do resonate with Pooh Bear rather than Eeyore. It might be more effective to cheer you up by humming a tune! I switched from YOO to SEO myself but have used some marging from SEO CFDs to rebuild a decent position in YOO. I don't find your negative comments helpful because they are unsubstantiated and appear unbalanced (e.g. the earlier post re crap shares, crap company, crap market makers). I find this an informative thread which has moved on from the experience of November last. The potential of the company is extremely positive and we are waiting to see evidence of the speed at which that potential is being realised. Why knock the shares/company if you are still holding? Are you related to Filthy Poor by the way, currently knocking SEO?

EWR

Joined you all and bought a few lots of YOO late afternoon around the 18.5p mark, couldnt get filled in any decent size below 19p.
d.

The other cause for concern here is the potential dumping of another 25%(120m) of the shares in issue during the course of next year. One has to deduce that this will put further pressure on from the beginning of 2006.

Just to top things off the longer this takes to recover the more time is given to other companies to possibly develop better technologies ie by the time we are able to remove the diving gear someone may have developed something better.

Stay away other ordinary share dealers we are in for at least another 2 years sphincter treatment here - must have something to do with this dating business.LOL!!

Your behaviour today is a disgrace.

What Gull forgets to mention, is he is refering to the 120m shares, the new Yoomedia directors own, the board of DITG & TGG. Why would they sell? Has the Gull any evidence to suggest they will? Of course he has not! Why did the Gull deliberately not mention, what shares he was refering to. So the Gull is suggesting, NO share is EVER worth buying, incase the directors sell!

I really don't understand this at all. Gull feels a depressed share price, means Yoomedia won't be able to deliver it's products and services. What utter rubbish. Gull, I'm not sure Mr David Bainbridge, Director of Yoomobile would agree with you, or any of the Yoomedia board for that matter. Can you please clarify this statement, or readers will see it for the utter drivel it is.

I don't believe you own any shares and suspect you sold today, at 18p or below.

Can I remind all the readers of this BB, what Gull stated, on another BB yesterday.

Apparently, he left 10000 in his current account, without realising he would not receive any interest and got a complete shock when the 12 month passed. What a complete and utter fool. Should he even be let near the stock market, if he can't even manage his own basic cash savings. Please remember this, the next time he posts his drivel.

I have lost all respect for you as a poster and an investor.

So Gull - iTV does not have a future, so why is one of the biggest national UK broadcasters, ITV, who just happen to be a client of Yoomedia, are putting so much into iTV ( just a couple of weekends ago primetime saturday night TV on ITV was dominated by Yoomedia interactive TV, not forgetting they have a regular saturday TV slot on CD:UK ), and here is one recent news release from ITV regarding iTV:-

Coronation Street goes iTV

ITV is planning to add interactivity to its long-running soap opera, Coronation Street. The move comes as ITV steps up its involvement in interactive television.

Jane Marshall, controller of interactive television at ITV, told a Financial Times supplement: "The time is right for us now to look for the next level of interactive television beyond votes and competitions.

"2004 was a fantastic year with revenues from our interactive television services up 100% on 2003, and the number of individual interactive transactions made by ITV viewers up from 45m to 72.4m.

"Now that interactive television has proved itself a viable business, we want to enhance ITV viewers' television experience by driving interactivity into new areas."

The FT said the interactive Coronation Street on digital satellite and cable platforms could include additional sub-plots, out-takes, background information and competitions.

End of story.

Also, why is Celador rolling out its SMS partnership game with Yoomedia worldwide ????? - its not for the fun of it, it is because the additional revenue it is providing

Why is it that interactive & SMS marketing suddenly seems to be flavour of the month with a lot of the large international companies, such as Nestle, who happen to have appointed Yoomedia to run its current national Kit Kash marketing through to September this year ???????

Why is it that Yoomedia was able to easily raise 28 million recently to enalarge the group of companies, to become second only to BSKYB in the iTV arena ?????????

Oh yes, have you forgotten about the 15 million NHS contract Yoomedia have, and the fact that Yoomedia are currently working in a framework to bring 12 Local Authories onto DTV.

Maybe you did not see, that Yoomedia, in partnership with NTL, are soon to launch Broadband TV, do you know what the possibilities with this are ???, video on demand etc ????,interactive gaming of a quality found on the internet via broadband.

Do you understand the significance of Yoomedia owning a digital red button return path, if not, I would suggest you do some research to find the significance of this.

Do you understand the significance of Yoomedia being able to timestamp, and guarantee delivery of 1.8 million SMS messages during a live broadcast, via its Whoosh technology, to enable outcomes of votes and competions before the programme ends ????

Do you understand the significance of Yoomedia being able initiate a return path during live TV and Radio broadcast via a mobile phone, for those digital viewers that watch via Freeview, or anologue TV ?????

Do you realise the significance of having David Docherty on the board of directors, do you know his background, and the high regard he has from many people in the broadcasting industry. ?????

Did you not know that 20 months ago, Yoomedia turned over 300 K, with a shareprice of 1p, and are likely to now in 2005 turnover in excess of 100 m and return a profit ( not bad for a company that is going nowhere in your opinion ), with a shareprice that has gone up 19 fold as of today - all will be revealed in a trading statement soon - check out the last five years accounts of BSKYB - that should make interesting reading for you.

Did you know that Yoomedia have an association in one form or another with BBC, ITV, Channel 4 & Channel 5 - all the major national broadcasters - did you know that Yoomedia are the only company in the UK that are able to provide interactive services across all digital platforms - BSKYB, NTL, Telewest and Freeview.

Did you know that Yoomedia now own Avago - the company that got its 1 million set up fees back in the space of three months of launch, did you know that William Hill, one of the biggest bookmakers in the UK, is in partnership with Yoomedia's Sky Active channel 425 ???

Did you know that revenues from Fancy a Flutter are currently increasing month on month ????

Did you know that by 2012, the whole of the UK with be viewing DTV - yes the entire nation will at some time use a Yoomedia service of somesort.

Did you know that ITV is fast losing its advertising revenues, as it fights with over 400 UK independent TV stations, so it has now realised the potential that iTV has to add necessary revenue with partners such as Yoomedia.

Do you regularly visit www.dtg.org.uk and take a copy of Broadcast to see what is happening in the world of DTV and iTV.on a global basis.

Did you follow Yoomedia when the shareprice was in the 50p - 59p bracket, and did you see that Dr Michael Sinclair bought shares at 55p, and has never sold any when he could have taken massive profits ????

Did you know that DTV is now also fast growing in the USA, and that Turner Broadcasting is one of the biggest broadcasters in the USA, who just happen to be a client of Yoomedia.

Did you know that Sony have a stake in Yoomedia ????

Did you know that there are currently 2 Billion mobile phone users worldwide, with further forcast growth to 3 Billion over the next few years, all potential Yoomedia customers, Do you also know how many TV sets there are in the world, I will leave you to find that one out, you will be staggered to see how many potential Yoomedia customers there are when you find out that figure.

I have complete confidence in where Yoomedia are going to end up in 5 - 10 years time,down to indepth research of the DTV market, the current share price is still a credit to a company that less than two years ago, was a pure gamble at 1p, with a very small turnover.

Now, lets see what long list of facts you can come up with to back up your argument that Yoomedia and iTV and DTV is going nowhere but downwards ????? - answer please.

Gull

You are incredibly misinformed.

You wrote, on another BB.

"If this company is also so rosy and the potential is so great then why has the city marked this company down over the recent past?"

Due to the placement, you know this, what a stupid thing to say. The city is waiting for confirmation of current trading, results and also company news concerning the future. The news blackout end on Monday.

and

"Are trying to tell us that you know more about this company than the EVO themselves??"

EVO will not have any inside information, I probably know just as much.

also

"You do not have to believe that I am a holder of shares here but that is your choice and I am not going out of my why to proove it."

I still don't believe you.

and this

"I said there is a great potential that 25%(120m) shares are potentialy going to be dumped on the market from the beginning of next year, you dont need to be super clever to work out that this is going to put pressure on the share price."

You really are a complete moron! You must be utterly devoid of any commensense. What Gull forgets to mention, is he is refering to the 120m shares, the new Yoomedia directors own, the board of DITG & TGG. Why would they sell? Has the Gull any evidence to suggest they will? Of course he has not! Why did the Gull deliberately not mention, what shares he was refering to. So the Gull is suggesting, NO share is EVER worth buying, incase the directors sell! So Gull, would only buys shares, where NO directors own shares!

finally

"Further more there has been no financial statement since June04, think one is seriously overdue & they should definately make some comments on Monday as it has been a very long time now, if nothing is said on Monday it will be further testiment to the lack of integrity that is being revealed here."

This statement proves how utterly incompetant the Gull is, as an investor and also a writer of facts. The aquisition letter to shareholders, on 26th Nov, contained a full trading update, with financial details. Before this, we had the interims in September. The Gull doesn't even know this, what a fool. What a complete load of drivel he writes!

I will be here Gull and I believe it my resposibilty to warn potential investors what they are in for, when reading your misinformed and irresponsible posts.

Can I remind all the readers of this BB, what Gull stated yesterday.

Apparently, he left 10000 in his current account, without realising he would not receive any interest and got a complete shock when the 12 months passed. What a complete and utter fool. Should he even be let near the stock market, if he can't even manage his own basic cash savings. Please remember this, the next time he posts his drivel.

I have lost all respect for you as a poster and an investor.

I public I will advise any potential investors to stay away. This is an institutional game at the expense of ordinary investors. It is obviouse! Even you know this and it is my duty to inform people of the potential risks so that they do not get burnt like everyone else and will continue to advise of the risks here until this is trading +30p.

Poverty...For your information Yoo does have Dynamite.... it has me. This share maybe a slow starter this year but the potential is huge, Yoo has brilliant products and as a medium to long term share Yoo is going to make those who stick with it piles of dosh!

Mactavish...well done for your post and for taking the time top outline the brilliant stuff at Yoo.

Basically if you are a person who is after a short term profit Yoo is not the share but if you want a long term star...Yoo is the one and there is no point in all this stupid and unsubstantiated negative drivel. OK some people are sitting on a loss, myself included, but why be negative? Just average down and wait for the upward ride to begin.

Gull

Can't bring myself to accept financial advice, from someone who leaves 10000 in a current account, for 12 months and then is surprised when no interest is credited. Are you for real?

iPublic and everyone else having a go at Gull. I totally agree with you but dont you think you were a tad bit harsh on Gull. Some entertaining posts though- iPublic reminds me of Peter Jones on Dragons Den when he totally rips apart the pitcher. LOL.

Yes the Gull does talk a great deal of shit! Oh and one bit of further info that will make you all laugh, hes actually a Commercial Manger!!!!!!Which is suprising when he can't even manage his own personnel bank account.

Come On YOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do it for the LADS!!!!!!!!!!

Gull, Hows the food at the Institution. I see they have let you use the computer again.

Hope the nurses are improving. They might even be able to offer you some sound financial advice!

Jim

Hey there Oily, did not know you were a holder here. I think the nurses could have surely provided me with better financial advice than the biased rampers here. LOL

MR PTKENNY
Is that your attempt at a ramp?LOL
ps if I could not manage my own bank account then I would be insolvent, and we both now that is not the case, now dont we ;-).
