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.

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.

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.

YOO are being toooooo quiet on the news front - this is why little action on the sp front. However - no news is NOT good news imho. It is very frustrating! Surely this is the bottom !!!!??????

Market cap now only 69m, what an outstanding opportunity for a long term growth investment.
Latest news from YOO HQ, is results by mid April or much sooner, may or may not announce the date.
Broker note on morning of results day.
From one of my fellow shareholders:
Yoo are holding back the results to see if they can announce cash flow positive for Q1 at the same time
If there was no chance ie. bad news we would have know the date by now
no news in this case is good news because of accounting adjustments
if they adopt new EU standards the good will write offs taken so far could be written back reducing loss by 0.5m. Treatment of tax and NI on director share options will also boost figures
these take time to produce hence delaying figures
