Wondering what the significance of that full stop is on post 1159. Lost for words, but thought you should still do a post? Flown off to visit the YOO wall and just left a calling card? Erased a sequence of expletives?
Eric - somewhat non-plussed!

Yes, a novel way to annouce my big buy! Will be selling in 2010 for !!.

YOO are providing all the Solutions services for the television channel GameInTV, due to be rebranded PokerzoneTV, very soon. YOO are also launching timestamping mobile games and SMS services on the channel, including mobile services, aimed at Poker fans, players, as advertised on the channel lately.
The website is not YOO, but the television channel is. Successful iTV projects, are all about developing partnerships in the industry.
In a few years, YOO will be running dozens of channels on Sky, for third party operators, for share of the revenue. In FY 2003, DITG received 6.2m for providing Solutions services to the TGC (both now owned by YOO) so with the very high margins involved, it's not difficult to imagine the effect on the SP in a couple of years.

I continue to admire the loyalty and belief of you folk with YOO, my issue was losing money to the Directors greed, not the potential of YOO.
The Company was notified on 18 April 2005 that on the same day Leo Noe acquired
400,000 ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the Company ('Ordinary Shares') at a
price of 13p per Ordinary Share. Following this acquisition, Leo Noe has a
beneficial interest in 13,000,000 Ordinary Shares, representing 2.8 per cent of
the current issued share capital.
Got his shares well inside the spread, nice one.
I suppose it shows belief but these directors sure know every means to get their share of cheap shares.
Good Luck folks, you deserve to reap your rewards in the future and I hope you that you do.

On the 18th April, Leo Noe purchased shares, when the price was 12.5p. Mr Noe, paid the full intraday offer and bought quite legitimately, on the open market. He did NOT get his shares, well inside the spread, infact he paid full offer. I remember the trades going through.
Come back in three years and then we will know if the placement was justified. Very early days indeed and the only losers are the speculators who cannot afford to hold the shares they bought.
You mention the directors greed. Why? They have suffered a temporary decline in the value of their YOO shares. The options are not dilutive until they are execised and won't be, until the price is at least in the mid 20's. Even when they are taken, each option will provide 15p of working capital. Finally, everyone has now had the opportuntiy to buy in at below placement price, so it's now GAME ON!

Point well made ipublic, I am too lazy to trawl through and see the price the day those shares were acquired but I knew that you would know.
To quote Bananarama, it aint what you do, its the way that you do it.
If the future was that good, why not raise the funds at 25p with less dilution and less affect on current shareholders? The reverse takeover was not handled very well at all. Whilst I accept all have now had the chance to buy in at 15p and less, its still not good for those that bought high, hey, you've lost 30-50% but you can buy cheap shares now!! well thanks alot. By that token everyone who has lost money on any share should be happy bunnies cos they can now buy more cheaply!!. Good luck folks, I do mean it and do admire the loyalty shown, my anger was too great to look at it propping up my portfolio each day.

Yes, good luck. I've done my research and talked to a couple of directors in the last month. I'm very comfortable and confident.

After you've bought a "couple" more shares will you get your name in the annual report for being a major shareholder? (LOL) When the share price gets into the 's in a few years I'll point you out to my kids in Britain's top 100 Rich list, and tell them where I read about you. I have enjoyed reading all the thoroughly informative posts here and hope to have some spare cash soon to join you and all the other YOO holders.

andysmith: feel you're a pal with our common interest in SEO. I have changed my tune somewhat re the flotation and thought I should explain. I was as puzzled as any, yea angry, at the flotation at 15p without shareholder participation. What is now proven (IMHO) is that the flotation price was right and the preceding market price, if not wrong, certainly in the blue sky region. The point that is probably irrefutable is that YOO could only do this reverse takeover at the price they did: integration is ahead of schedule but the sp is struggling to keep to the flotation price; essentially a matter of what the cap. should be at this stage of growth. More difficult to decide and it is theoretical anyway are: (i) what would have happened to the YOO story without the acquisition; (ii) was this the best step they could have taken? Evolution took a lot of stick over the float, including from me, but their current projections are eminently sensible and you can see the future growth, supporting iPublic's projections. So why aren't these built into the sp - because the market takes a very short-term view. No doubt YOO was over-hyped last year (and the preceding one for that matter) and no doubt it is under-hyped now. As iPublic knows, I rank YOO behind SEO but that is a hard comparison: I rank YOO ahead of just about anything else on a one to two year view. Hope that helps.

Thanks Eric, always appreciate another view and points made with reason.
I don't understand though why not 15/25 shares at 25p. It would have raised the same funds. Am I having one of my thick moments? Much as I am annoyed with what happened I keep reading the thread but can't find a good reason personally to buy right now, maybe I just can't find it in me to forgive what happened to my dosh at a time when I was doing shite anyway. This thread has so much information and research thanks to the main contributors and IF the management have got it right no doubt YOO could be successful.
