This has the potential to cause a shift in the balance of power from Sky to Cable, over say, two years.

whats the reason for the mark down today i public....

Poverty - 29 Mar 2005 15:16 - 924 of 3776

Hmm - silly market maker games - or is there pre-news about thursdays figures??? This is an important time for YOO and their figs - need to be positive (the figs I mean)...

016622 - 29 Mar 2005 16:33 - 925 of 3776

some b big sells today!

mactavish - 29 Mar 2005 18:00 - 926 of 3776

Personally, I think anyone selling now, so close to results, with all the good news you can look back on this board posted since the merger,as well as news items which relate to Yoomedia's market in general at www.dtg.org.uk, has made a big mistake.

I stand to be corrected if I am wrong, and whether I am will only be known after the results are announced.

Everyone can speculate, good or bad, you never truly know the reason for a sell, it could be personal reasons, somebody may need some cash quickly, a sell does not mean that somebody knows something that we don't, somebody/institution may have bought recently at 21p, and a stop loss has triggered in.

I am sticking to my personal belief that the results will show that the company is in a strong position after the merger, and is on target to break into profit by this month.

I have not heard or seen anything different to make me think anything is amiss at Yoomedia - total news blackout has not helped for those who have not been prepared to Do their own research, - Yoomedia management cannot be that concerned, or else thay would have put out an RNS with some of the good news unearthed on this board over the past few months.

One way or the other, all will be revealed, very soon, that is the only certain thing anyone can say for the moment - bad news is only speculation, and if you believe it, then you must sell - personally, I am happy to sit tight, based upon my own research into DTV and iTV in general, as well as Yoomedia specific research.

Just also remember - some of the recent subscribers to the placing agreed to a lock in - this is a decision that would not have been taken lightly, given the nature of this share being an AIM share.

One tranche of shares sold 650,000 against 450,000,000 issue - is this such a worry ????

Not really a mass exodus that deserves a 8.5% drop in price - MM's have to make their money somehow I suppose.

The ASOPS Challenge Portfolio has 28 shares down by an average apporaching 3% against 10 rises, suggesting a deal of end of year profit taking. Well, there aren't any profits in YOO but there may be some nice losses to offset. Somewhat surprised that the quite heavy mark down on relatively low volume of sales failed to attract buyers. Basically, just three sales, one of which was T impling that someone else was buying. The one I really liked was the purchase of one, literally, share. How do they calculate the stamp duty on a 17p buy? And what about the commission? Mind he/she will get a nice glossy report, presumably. Its not you, is it, Poverty! More likely to be Penury!

I suspect the EVO projections may be more relevant than the prelims given that that is essentially historical and pre-acquisition.

eric: you could be right in the fact that people are offloading stock with the new tax year next week. I think the market in general will rise from this.

dibbles - 29 Mar 2005 23:29 - 930 of 3776

A number of quality stocks slipped today on no news, in a weeks time it will
all be forgotten no doubt......
prepared to hold quality longer term personally so not too worried......

Poverty - 30 Mar 2005 12:19 - 931 of 3776

Extarwberry! - that this sweet little stock continues to achieve new lows! - How do they do it. The figs are out tomorrow apparantly - so this might be the last chance to buy at the price the directors paid! OR - it might be the last chance to salvage some cash if there is trouble 't mill......

I am holding - just for the drama (or lack of same!) of it all.

jimwren - 30 Mar 2005 12:45 - 932 of 3776

I haven't seen any confirmation that figs are out tomorrow although some sort of update would be nice. I see that someone bought a million share block today.

accord - 30 Mar 2005 15:56 - 933 of 3776

As stated on the 'Forward Diary' on this website (top right) YOO had their finals on 31/03/2004.

andysmith - 30 Mar 2005 20:41 - 934 of 3776

Still a crap sp then. Glad I took mine out and recovered the ripped off loss with SEO. Good luck folks, keep believing and I sincerely hope you get your rewards.

016622 - 01 Apr 2005 09:43 - 935 of 3776

proptrade - 01 Apr 2005 09:56 - 936 of 3776
