Hulkzz, what is it that makes you say "those guys are gearing up for the end of August as well?"
What do you believe is going to take place at the end of August and why be mysterious about it?
the important distinction folks would be looking for from you is whether it is something the company is doing end of August or....
is it something the manipulators have in store for the end of August (another P&D?)
buddygray? five days closer to what?
I have to agree with that. It is written in a way that helps newbies get a picture of what has been happening which is alway helpful, but it isn't anything new and doesn't even seem current enough to incorporate the news about how they will be using the mactelabs technology as a persistent site filtering tool.
it looks like he is still around.
or maybe he just hasn't updated his linkedin profile.

I have to agree with buddygray about the shorts being in control of this stock of late, but....
that doesn't change my view that yippy has a very interesting story that is just starting to take shape
hopefully soon we'll gain an edge over the shorts once everyone can see what kind of future RG created with MuseGlobal in San Francisco.
hi HOLD4STEAK. Lots of folks on this board have mentioned having those restricted shares. If you ask again first thing in the morning I am sure one of them will be able to answer your question.
"wait forever"??
didn't you just show up a month ago?
good luck though, no matter what you end up doing with all that capital.
it doesn't seem all that unrealistic to need more than a couple weeks to restructure a company, reconfigure its products by conceptually melding the three separate entities, and come up with a forward statement with a good understanding of what value they now represent as a whole. Worrying about small investors like us needing to be thrown bones to stay alongside them is probably not what they are doing and rightly so. Those bones only seem to attract the daytrading crowd which artificially drops and rises the value of the stock, which in turn causes even some longs to panic and drop out. I'm okay staying long for now and waiting to act upon real news that isn't just a promo. I believe the stock is worth more than the 30 cents I bought in at and if that takes a year to see it through, all the better in the tax department.
Do you think all that short interest might explain the pre-news selling the last two weeks? a pre-news protective thing by the short sellers?
can we not harrass folks like shmoopster for being cautious this time around? the taunting gets old. they are risking what they are comfortable risking and it appears so far to not have hurt us longs.
yippy did elaborate a bit a few posts later when he wrote the following about his conversation.... (did you catch that post? 13078?)
excerpt----
More reply from CEO and said I can post here:
No worries. All our partners see what's happening here and that article is a complete fabrication. My attorney will be contacting
them tomorrow.
I find it even more interesting that the word is I am selling shares. That's really comical too. It's impossible to turn the Control Block ( My shares) into free trading shares without a Form 10 being filed. The issued and outstanding is the same as it was on Friday. I will be posting our latest DTC sheet tomorrow. The will be the proof and substance, not words on message board.

end excerpt
34tharmor's complaint was about "clawing" "for a year". my point was that if you had been in for that long, there is a significant silver lining to that.
if it ends up being a year for you and it does gradually rise in a stable way, your tax burden is lightened considerably. "clawing" would then change to "waiting patiently for the right time/opportunity"
you become your own worst enemy if you post everytime you feel anxious and want to vent about feeling anxious. That is how panic spreads.
a few cents at a time based upon accurate information is a good thing.
and look back through today. all the usual longs were all here swinging away at the strangers who showed up. nobody was hiding.
where did you hear that granville himself unloaded shares?
sorry unclejonez. that was meant to be in reply to 34tharmor
some food for thought....
do you really think the company would go through the trouble of upgrading its stock, allowing auditing, taking on acquisitions and mergers because their grand plan was just a pump and dump?
the fact that pennynewsletter peddlers took advantage of yippy's P.R. does not necessarily negate the P.R. and that is the point of the past few posts.
there are plenty complex trading schemes around that make for some unbelievable alternate universes though, so caution and moderation are always the path.
yes, the calling him CEO of the year while the stock was being manipulated to rise too fast was naive, but I guess most folks who are long and supporting each other here, bought in the 20s and 30s and even after the P&D are still in the same spot they were before it....
which is waiting to see how the company's moves play out over the summer. I'd expect a P&D each time more interesting strategic moves are made, especially more news about the Muse merger. The daytraders have lots of opportunity to promote with each tidbit, but that doesn't negate the longs opportunity and why they are still supporting each other. Unfortunate though if they bought over a dollar during the past couple of weeks.
It looked like the wrong sorts, penny newsletters, took all the interesting Yippy news from the past couple of weeks, and promoted it. Which was smart because unlike most penny news, it was real news. Which unfortunately caused the pump and subsequent dump.
After it rose to a good height, they spammed the boards with their panicked and bolded and "you fools, get out now" posts. but regardless of the pump and dump, the news and the progress the company is making towards something, still stands and thus, us longs hanging in there despite the dooms-sayers.
he keeps repeating the same posts and putting them in bold to blanket the board with doom for anyone doing a quick scan.
when a stranger like hondaboost shows up where longs live and starts screaming FIRE, he isn't doing it out of altruism.
okay we get it hondaboost. you have a vested interest in getting more folks to dump. now go away and play somewhere else.
it looks like your only aim is to cover the board today with your bold print subject lines to scare more folks away.
no it has not. where did you come from today and what is your goal here?
still here. still long.
thanks, but I am not "a good man".
a moderately productive woman though.
will do. I also posted it to braggo's seeking alpha blog, but it isn't very "insta" despite its name. they seem to have a lag of a few hours.
does anyone post over at yahoo's yippy board? it would be nice to have this lovely news from Rich posted over there as well since the chicken littles seem to rule the roost over there.
anywhere near a dollar is still a great place to hang out for us longs until details of the muse merger and the macte acquisition come out. the macte acquisition is finalized on June 30th, yes?
though it is frustrating how a couple of guys can collude to cause a fire sale panic to benefit the shorts--maybe a nice plateau will send them somewhere else to feed for awhile and the company can focus on doing its job rather than public responses to manipulators.
"when it comes true (he'll) drop some knowledge"?? who toys with people like that. Why post that to the board. "I have a secret, but I won't tell you it unless and until I can fulfill my own prophecies." ?? thanks for being such a stand up guy with so much insight to offer to the board.

Thank you narvo0 for unmasking S3lfmade for the board. I just went back and read his contradictory posts on yippy from last year -- promoting yippy's alexa rankings in May and then turning around and bashing its rankings in July. I hope you have great luck with yippy
?what? why bring it up if you don't want to discuss.
Ideally, I'd like the CEO to make that selling decision for us but not too soon (bought last fall)...and along the way leaving us bits of good news to keep us all interested in staying long.
that's an unfortunate result.
there is a lot more value in using their search within the confines of their yippy browser if you have kids.
I downloaded the browser after my third-grader told me that what words his classmate suggested he search on google for. Clunky interface, but an insulated space for him to research school projects and find baseball stats, even if he goes to google, he is still within their browser.
Can't figure out how to import contacts into their email though. There may be a way, but if there is, I've missed it. It is hard to commit to making an email switch when I'm wondering what direction the company is taking all of this, but still happy to sit around on the stock and watch where they are going for a good while longer.
I did download their search plug-in to have for use within IE and many times use that for general searching in IE browser, mainly as a personal revolt against google's toying with privacy, not because I'm especially fond of their results...just like the philosophy better.
It would be in their best interest to rework that tv commercial before the 15th so they don't destroy their brand before even building one. For a product that needs to say "trust" before anything else, the announcer's voice says "con" and "buy our mattresses for less". it is just a shame. they need some inspired college age film students to do their first commercial and to have their gentle-voiced brit announcer from their web video step in. too plastic and it goes in the opposite direction of the brand they should be building.
