Down again.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on, as the MM's seem to perform drop after drop.
The Professor threatens to take all his toys back and meanwhile nothing from the board!

[bsg] 07/2/2007 14:07

Doubt it dustybin, have bben able to buy below mid price for ages on this, don't know why the MM's don't go to smaller ticks.

[dustybin] 07/2/2007 14:04

250k @1.34 and 250k @1.3 are BOTH my buys

MM's seem to want to show as sells, so maybe looking for stock?

[deep powder] 07/2/2007 14:02

Dear CMX directors please make some kind of statement to the market or else we are in danger of having a false one, thankyou...

[morgs] 05/2/2007 12:14

Long by if you look back there after the Yoo media sale there was an RNS on 40m shares and the holder, I was just waiting for the balance to be allocated which it looked like was completed last week. Otherwise the share price would have moved if someone out of the blue just bought 40m. Transactions of this size are off market and matched and do sometimes take ages, we shall see because whoever has bough this will have to post an RNS as it is a discolsable holding.

what do you mean Morgs - yoo media was sold out a day after P Diddy resigned.

[morgs] 02/2/2007 15:01

Excellent the remainder of the Yoomedia cleared!

[steamingreatnit] 02/2/2007 14:27

white star line eh... owners of the titanic. sailed to its doom by a captain smith.

[long by name long by] 02/2/2007 12:14

40 mio shares is fairly large, representing over 5% of the share capital, I think.

[lplp] 02/2/2007 11:01

Big volumes going through! Hopefully stakebuilding from a potential bidder and a seller being cleared out! - Maybe wishfull thinking!

[silent_angel] 01/2/2007 13:33

agreeable, lets start at the beginning, what have the directors done wrong?

[agreeable] 01/2/2007 13:15

I now think it is time for the Directors to get a grip, there is no long game here, the treatment of shareholders is appalling and i think we should expose Sir David's lax attitude to corporate governance. I cannot believe that with his profile he would like the bright lights of publicity directed his way.
I think it is time we found an active vaqlue investor to get involved and create some mischief, only then will shareholders interests be properly represented

[professorsmsmith] 31/1/2007 14:44

Agreeable, or should I call you "diss"?

Your insight is truly alarming: a former CMX non-exec. director Hugo Drayton was indeed Managing Director of the Telegraph Group in the UK. I had never put two and two together until your quite inspired post!

Your obsession with consultancy fees is becoming unhealthy: I can only assume a bit of "green eyed monster syndrome" has crept into your otherwise very balanced outlook.

I repeat: for the record: my only interest in CMX is as a substantial shareholder. So we are all in the same boat! Let's hope it is not owned by the White Star Lime!

[silent_angel] 31/1/2007 13:11

no trading so far, well at least there are not any sells, the longer everything stays on hold for a while it will move sideways out of a down trend and make it easier for a comeback.

[agreeable] 31/1/2007 12:17

Professor Smith, back again i see...have you anything else to say?, i have just finished reading the Tom Bower book on Conrad Black and the similarities between CMX and Hollinger are alarming...not least your own role as Barbara Amiel! she was quoted as saying 'my excess knows no bounds'.. afurther reference to your consultancy fees i would suggest.

Yoomedia Tringo to Interactive TV


RNS Number:4100Q
Yoomedia PLC
31 January 2007

YooMedia plc / Index: AIM / Epic: YOO / Sector: Media

31 January 2007



YooMedia plc ("YooMedia" or "the Company")



Tringo to Transfer to Interactive TV Format



YooMedia, the AIM-listed interactive media, gaming and mobile entertainment
group, is piloting the first digital television format for Tringo, the worldwide
gaming craze that was inspired by bingo and Tetris tm and which first appeared
in the virtual reality world of secondlife.com.



The Company has been developing the television version of the game for its joint
venture partner SGI. Tringo will be the joint venture's first participation TV
games format for both UK and international markets. The new interactive
multi-player Tringo will be piloted later this month on Fortune Fever, Sky
Channel 842, ahead of an anticipated full roll-out later in the year.



"The worldwide success of Tringo across a number of formats together with the
popularity of gaming television suggests there is strong market potential for an
interactive version of the game in the digital TV arena," says Neil MacDonald,
YooMedia's Group Managing Director. "This is a fun and exciting true gaming
experience which, by focusing on the skill and speed of the player, takes it
away from the much publicised concerns about gambling and call TV. The
interactivity, that is the ability to pit your skills against other viewers in
real time, will be central to its success."



YooMedia is already creating an interactive, head-to-head web version of Tringo
for Catalyst Media Group, along with a range of other fixed odds and exclusive
head-to-head games. YooMedia provides back office, payment fulfilment, gaming
licence, customer support and technology facilities.



Tringo is played by a large group of players simultaneously. Each player is
given their own "card" with a 5x5 empty grid. The game provides a new shape
every ten seconds, which the player must fit into their board. The object is to
create solid square areas of 2x2, 2x3 and 3x3 squares. When that happens, the
shape is cleared from the board and the player earns points. The fastest player
to complete the board wins.

forget the technicals, lets focus on the fundamentals, usually has results now, need clarification on impact of SIS dividend on Investec loan. Market currently pricing it to go bust??

[silent_angel] 31/1/2007 06:49

The highest volume this month was over 11,000,000 on the 15th Jan, since then has had horizontal support at 1.5p. drawing a line from top of last spike at 17th Nov,, the limit price of the down trend will cross over this by the end of the week.

[igoe104] 30/1/2007 16:10

I,M just trying to do some homework on this company. will the company be involved in internet tv in the future, in any form.

[morgs] 30/1/2007 15:55

ProfSMSmith, I am not meaning to be negative, and I am not grouching about holding these either. I am trying to explain the large divide between the current share price and the NAV when the SIS dividend gets paid. I was trying to explain the 'chicken and egg situation' that the CMX board can say little until the SIS board make a formal statement regarding the dividend. Surely I cannot be that far wrong in that assumption.

Until then the share price will drift, I still regard this as a good buying opportunity as what I am refering to as the 'uncertainty element' is erroded and the share price returns to a more realistic NAV. Sorry for being a pragmatic fundemental contrarian investor, but I find this actually a compelling reason to accumulate.

If it is me that causes your dispair, then I will never post on here again.

[professorsmsmith] 30/1/2007 15:14

By responding I have already broken my rule. But based on the level of support received I will reconsider my rather terminal decision.

[long by name long by] 29/1/2007 17:24

I too would like SMSmith to stay. I have posted here in the past asking people to stop giving you a hard time, but some people are bitter about their decision to invest. I for one hope that most people are intelligent enough to realise that investors(including me) have only themsleves to blame for their investment decisions. I would ask you to reconsider please SMSmith.

[theheadchef] 29/1/2007 16:44

Prof..I always read your comments with a positive stance
Do not leave me to the sharks.......
Off to cook dinner Rainbow trout ,new potatoes and green salad tonight!

[silent_angel] 29/1/2007 16:43

[silent_angel] 29/1/2007 16:42
