It's certainly going to be a golden age for film once China and India's populations are at the US level of movie-watching. Indian are already huge movie fans of course but the majority of the population is still too poor to see films every 2nd day.

You see how they're playing the game 100 sh at a time stock Goes down then they start picking it up very well orchestrated someone is Cleaning up they can do this because the float is so tight I believe Some hedge fund desperately wants everything they can get!
Naked short selling, or naked shorting, is the practice of short-selling a tradable asset of any kind without first borrowing the security or ensuring that the security can be borrowed, as is conventionally done in a short sale. When the seller does not obtain the shares within the required time frame, the result is known as a "failure to deliver". The transaction generally remains open until the shares are acquired by the seller, or the seller's broker settles the trade.[1]
Short selling is used to anticipate a price fall, but exposes the seller to the risk of a price rise.
just bought more!
Can you imagine where this could go once everything starts with some good earnings all i can say is oh my God!
I agree but you have to remember the float is getting tighter the SmartMoney is stepping up to the plate as you can see! the insiders have been buying and we have a lot of developments about to come out and this is just what we know I'm really liking my odds on the stock!
Many times large investors take on these after-hour positions, because they are aware of some pending news and are quite certain that the stock will move in their favor. Most retail traders believe that some pending news or earnings release set for the next day will generate a move, so they will enter positions as well. Many participants in extended- hours trading are professional investors who work with large institutions.This institutional investors my have access to more current information than individual investors!
I'm thinking of the reason after-hours trading to $1.39 The latest per-share performance reflects share buybacks, reducing the number of shares,We will see I'm sure they'll be reports on this if it is!
417000 Thousand dollars buy way above the ask after hour nice!

Have you seen this one? http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/837852/000114036112044419/form8k.htm. On May 10, 2012, at the Company’s request, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of YOU On Demand Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), Mr. Shane McMahon, made a loan to the Company in the amount of $3,000,000. In consideration for the loan, the Company issued a convertible note to Mr. McMahon in the principal amount of $3,000,000 (the “Note”). As amended on May 21, 2012, the Note had an annual interest rate of 4% and would mature on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company closes a financing of equity or equity-linked securities of the Company in which at least $5,000,000 in gross proceeds is raised, and (ii) May 10, 2013. The Note is convertible at any time into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share; provided, however, that if the Company raises capital at any time prior to the maturity of the note, the note may be converted into the securities received by the investors in the most recent capital raise (as of the date of conversion) at a price not less than $4.75.
On October 19, 2012, the Company and Mr. McMahon entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Note (“Amendment No. 2”), pursuant to which (i) the Note will mature on May 10, 2013, (ii) Mr. McMahon and the Company agreed that the net proceeds of an underwritten public offering of equity or equity-linked securities of the Company is consummated within 60 days of October 19, 2012 (an “Excluded Public Offering”), will not be used to prepay any portion of the outstanding principal or interest owing on the Note prior to May 10, 2013, and (iii) if the Company consummates financing of equity or equity-linked securities of the Company prior to May 10, 2013, other than an Excluded Public Offering, the net proceeds of such financing will be used to prepay the outstanding principal and interest then owing on the Note.
Look longer term investors panic when the hedge funds drive the stock price down and mutual funds, et al, get as much stock as they want at reduced prices. Then when the stock price gets to the level the hedge funds want, they switch to long positions, and start the process of increasing the stock price to lure the average investor back in. It seems to be a never ending story, over and over and over. Works every time and that's why I'm sitting tight! They can play all the games that they want all I know is you on demand is in the right place at the right time and they are doing a hell of a job!
The Lesson Here
Learn to ignore the sell side.What baffles me is how people keep making the same mistakes!Most of the cheap shares are gone, holding on this is a big opportunity getting in at these low levels, this will not stay here to long!!
Chart is ready to reverse!I don't see the insiders selling I see insiders buying!
Just hold on tight!Don't let them shake you out you will regret it especially at these discount prices....
Let's face it, any insider trade that is really illegal is not going to be reported at all to the SEC!
Fortunately, the vast majority of insiders are both diligent and accurate when filing their Form 4s, and they supply the market with high-quality investment information every time they trade their own companies' shares in the open market. http://www.insiderinsights.com/about/forms345.php
Now read this YOU On Demand expands to internet TV platform for VOD in China
Louise Duffy | 05-09-2012
Chinese VOD platform YOU On Demand has signed a distribution deal with China Network Television's (CNTV) subsidiary Future TV, the first internet TV platform approved by China's State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT).
The deal represents an expansion of YOU On Demand's services from cable to the internet TV platform, thus increasing the number of customers who can view the films it delivers each month through its Transactional Video On Demand (TVOD) and Subscription Video On Demand (SVOD) packages.
Shane McMahon, chairman and CEO of YOU On Demand, said: "YOU On Demand is always looking at the best distribution platforms in order to offer the highest quality entertainment. We are honoured to partner with CNTV's Future TV and are looking forward to reaching this new consumer base."
YOU On Demand currently has content deals in place with many of Hollywood's top studios including Warner Bros. Entertainment, Disney Media Distribution, Paramount Pictures, Lionsgate, Miramax and Magnolia Pictures, as well as a selection of content from independent and Chinese filmmakers.

Frequency is set to announce a partnership with Chinese television maker TCL that could put the video curation startup’s app before millions of new eyeballs. Frequency is revealing on Wednesday morning at CES that its app will be pre-installed on TCL’s newly-announced Ice Screen TV set as the default option to watch video from a variety of online sources, The startup will also have the option to bring the app to a range of other TCL TV sets.
Frequency is one of a number of startups that offers ways to curate online videos. The company previously launched a web version, apps for iPad and iPhone as well as an app for Samsung Smart TVs.
Frequency CEO and founder Blair Harrison told me during a demo in Las Vegas Tuesday that the company views TCL as a huge opportunity. “They’re a very smart, fast-moving aggressive company,” he said. TCL used to be known as a white-label OEM manufacturer who built screens for other brands. But the company has put a lot of emphasis on its own devices in recent months, and has since become the biggest TV manufacturer in China, as well as the fourth-biggest manufacturer in the world.
TCL’s Ice Screen TV is an Android-based TV set that offers access to a handfull of pre-installed apps. Users who start the Frequency app will be able to subscribe to and waatch a number of channels, which range from big news publishers like the BBC and CNN to blogs and even a user’s Twitter and Facebook contacts. Videos from a channel are played non-stop, which makes for a very TV-like experience.
Unique about the company’s approach is that it doesn’t just aggregate every video a brand publishes on YouTube or its own site. The company also crawls the links that publishers share on Twitter, and grabs every embedded video on a linked site. Harrison said that Frequency indexes around five million videos a day.
So what’s next for Frequency? Harrison told me that the company wants to keep improving its recommendation algorithms, and also build out its current monetization model, which allows publishers to directly feed videos into the app on any supported device in exchange for some revenue. And it wants to take a measured approach towards porting the app. “We are not in a hurry to to roll out Frequency on every single platform,” he said.
Frequency is based in Los Angeles and has raised some private funding. The company currently employs a team of 20.

This is old but it's very interesting to read! Who Will Become the Netflix of China? Netflix or...
China is a potentially huge market for any product, and the race to become the Netflix of China will have many players. NewTeeVee interviewed YouKu.com CEO Victor Koo, and he explained how the Chinese market is a bit like the wild west right now.
Today, China has some 300 TV broadcasters running thousands of channels, many of which are also only available in certain cities or provinces. “We have no incumbents,” Koo said when I met him in San Francisco. “That’s the beauty of our market.”
Fragmentation of existing markets and an explosive growth of the Chinese online population, which is quickly approaching the magic mark of a half billion users, have helped Youku become the largest Chinese video property. Youku currently sees some 270 million monthly unique visitors, and the average user spends about an hour on the site.
YouKu's pricing for the Chinese market is well below the US:
Youku partnered with Warner Bros. and Disney in 2010, and is now offering movies like Inception and TV shows like Grey’s Anatomy for 2-5 RMB ($0.30-$0.75) each. The site is also selling a Netflix-like subscription plan for 20 RMB per month, which offers access to catalog title movies, TV dramas and educational content.
