69.82 market cap with forecast profit of 9.84 million bargain (23% of shares held by institutions), lets hope markets kick on from here. Anyone out there? ;)

Wow, 500,000 shares traded

IMO in times of uncertainty more accurate information on future direction is even more valuable than before. These economic conditions are actually beneficial to Yougov as clients wish to buy more insight into future directions.

These guys offer great value and apparantly excellent accuracy

Anybody any idea why this stock has gone up from 50 to 70 and defied the market other than it is cheap and directors been buying?

With all this uncertainty in the world, yougov must be the best positioned company to capitalise on it given their much publicised skill of being the most accurate.

They must be printing money as quick as the Government :)

Interesting reference to yougov by wall st jrnl today see penultimate paragraph

Huge political swing today in the States, so should be good for companies like yougov canvassing potential outcomes.

still in auction?

[pictureframe] 23/9/2008 16:07

at 61p way overdone - bought my first lot

At least in these uncertain times there should be even more demand for accurate, timely information to help beat the ill winds. This stock could actually be a safehaven as clients clamber to grab more information about customers. Time will tell

[stegrego] 09/9/2008 14:51

Have you asked many people that question?? ;)

[markie7] 09/9/2008 14:50

not really. there isn't much money in opinion polling

Has any one tried Googling the main market research brands - both websites & news?

Google News references
Yougov - 1,200
"ac nielsen" - 328
"ipsos mori" - 325
"millward brown" - 109

Google web references
"ac nielsen" - 455,000
Yougov - 374,000
"millward brown" - 319,000
"ipsos mori" - 110,000

I have excluded research now as Google results include many results that are not related to research now, the market research company. Although I would estimate that the company trails the pack.

If these results are anything to go by the brand value of yougov alone should be significant as yougov is becoming a household name. Perhaps they should do a brand index report on themselves!

For such a young company they appear to be quoted weekly in the professional marketing journals and at least once a week by the national newspapers. Like WPP, when there are elections this company should make loads of money. We have elections in both the USA and UK looming up :)

a fund had to clear a position and it seems that might of been cleared, hence all the volume recently, pretty sure you will see the price start to move north as it has been the last few days!!

[markie7] 21/8/2008 20:18

yes. especially as two directors sold a load of shares to re-invest the proceeds into the fund. then the fund doesn't happen. have they bought the shares back?

No.

[m.t.glass] 21/8/2008 18:11

That decision it half made (and has subsequently chickened out of), to adventurously branch out into the formation of a hedge fund, will likely have frightened a few. It certainly sounded iffy to me.

[markie7] 21/8/2008 16:55

well, there was a pretty clear warning 10 days ago or so - no need for any more comment I don't think. remember this was on a huge P/E. not any more though, admittedly.

[m.t.glass] 21/8/2008 16:43

And so far not even an after-hours announcement..

500,000 dumped
