18:37 24/05/2012 yell or Hibu or timbactu
i am still here, havent sold my 10000 pound worth of share s i invested in yell ready to lose all if it comes to, just with a faith that one of the great British institution will turnaround
Ditching Yell name itself hurts me, who knows one day Hibu will be on everyone's homepage but it is Yell i am attached to, yell, yellowpages were almost synonymous with phone-book and how to look for a shopping opportunity around. If Apple change their name to Oranges, I am sure the AAPL will go down at least for short time, but when people realise oranges are really apples sanity may prevail!.
As I see it, this share is shorted for right reasons, everyday over last week, the last deal was always near low for the day, and it always ended in negative territory,
recently the chairman Bob Wigley bought 2.6M shares at 3.85 (same point as mine!) for 200000£. currently this is valued at just around 100000£, he hasn't pulled out yet unlike our gr8 investor Steve. If Bob is sticking on - i think my 1000£ is safe investment, But whe do the shorters rest?, do they want to suck everything out of this share?, I think making this shortselling legal is only like legalising gambling in investing.
good luck all, as i see it, i still have another 10000£ waiting to be invested tomorrow for long term investment just with a hope that peeople will ultimately realise oranges were actually apples!

Have seen TW go from 3p to 30p in few weeks (currently at 40'ish p)
Have seen GCM go from 13p to £1 in 1 day (currently at 50'ish p)

YELL to go from 2p to 30-40p in a month or so is not unrealistic.

Different business models between the 3 companies etc.., and all that i agree - its just upto management to do SOMETHING for shareholders....!!!

consensus for
Eps was 6.60 and the actual 7.20 before exceptional items. what it tells you. increase in profits after tax 0f 229 million compare to last year. just need thinking. HIBU logo looks great. 1 billion new revenue stated in the report, what difference it will make to the share price. IT wil take time which most people dont have, which most long term holders pretend we are ready to wait untill 2014 its only 2012. what happened to that claims. By fasy

Very Interesting, this seems like a short closure, but who knows.

Ive noticed the drop has plateaued somewhat, a good sign IMO

18:12 24/05/2012 So if noyhing left.
why you all guys are here. stop try to fool each other, stop behaving like children. profit and loss part of game if you don't have balls do not invest simple. I lost money not as much as all you guys but not crying. I only need this share to go to 3.4/3.5 to recover all my losses . as I bought some at 2.42 and 2.13 sold the 3.8ones at 2.87 and 2.81 respectively. I have only 200000 shares now. i will keep it untill it recovers. if it went to 1p might invest a little bit more.probably another 100k shares. and thats all. if I lost 5000 it wouldnt change any thing in my life. if the negative people dont have any interest than why they are here. think By fasy

You have no idea what you are talking about. You ramped this up for weeks on end trying to get the sp up so you could cuy your losses. I did say this was going down big time if the only support line on the charts was breached and I was spot on.

You hang onto every word from some of the better traders on the BB but are clueless at trading and investing. Yell is not going anywhere other than bankrupt and anyone that listened to your blatant ramps here I feel sorry for.

Your an out an out BS and anyone can see that by reading your posting history

17:31 24/05/2012 Risk or Not...
Don't risk what you can't afford to lose. I haven't got a lot invested in Yell shares now, but my average is low. This will either make me a LOT of money, or I'll lose what I consider to not to be very much...

Good for a punt but make sure you're diversifying your portfolio and offsetting any losses at the very minimum to prepare for the worst By ellhans
17:20 24/05/2012 Desperate Hope
ok, i think the only hope i have left in this share is that.....

Yell can manage to keep revs and cost cutting balanced so it can show the banks it can still meet its interest payments and capital payments as it has been doing thus far.

Hopefully YELL took out all or most of the sticky debt holders that gave us delays over the last 2 refinancing deals (if you remember we were also delayed in 2009, yes I have been here that long!)

My only hope is that the remaining debt holders (banks) will see that extending the finance terms (for a fat fee) and are convinced that YELL will keep up repayments with interest etc. is a far better option than a D4E. because at the end of the day the banks are not going to get their £2billion back in 2014 no matter what the outcome is.

That has always been the only hope here in that YELL has no assets to sell so the only way the banks will ever get their money back is by letting YELL continue to pay as a going concern.

Lets hope that goldman sacs, wiggly, bates, popcock etal can convince the banks, and we get another! extension on the £2b loan…..without too much pain to shareholders.

Of course 26th july really is Dday….as we will see q1 results and see:
A) How good/bad hibu is doing
B) The drop in print directories.
These two factors will effect whether or not the banks believe YELL can keep up the payments they have thus far.

"I'm sorry but he can only be a paid ramper. He's either a paid ramper or just stupid."

There are paid rampers for Yell?
Either you are joking, a paid deramper, or just plain stupid Grizzley.

You are attacking 1aws for pointing out that they have never breached their covenants.
But HE IS CORRECT.

Why are you stirring it up even more than is necessary. I wonder...

1aws has posted numerous times that covenants could not possibly be breached before 2014.

Yell warned in their latest results that covenants could be broken as early as this year.

All the other points stand. Anyone reading his posts can see that he has got nothing - and I emphasise nothing - right.

I know I sound like I'm attacking 1aws. Well he puts it out there and he has got it universally wrong.

He'll bang on about how it's all the shorters fault. Laughable.

He'll bang on about how the sp should be 30p, 20p, now 10p. Laughable.

I'm sorry but he can only be a paid ramper. He's either a paid ramper or just stupid.
