Thats a round about way of saying in order to have price premium to earnings you need earnings.

I understand what you are saying however-

I will let you fill this in but the two that jump out at me are:

Loses money
Rich Granville

thats not analogous

The vibes here are indicative of the stock right now. They are negative- so is the stock. 9.24.2010 it closed at .20. I like checking in on this board and am glad I'm not the only one that this stock is frustrating. I like everyone here wishes it were different-it seems to have such potential. I patiently wait but I will give the heads up that I will be selling soon-regardless of PPS. At the rate things are crawling that may mean uglier times. The only guy I know who has more shares than me is Turk. Who knows it may just prompt someone to flight out to New York and personally look into things....

There are clearly things to report. The deals planned didn't go through so what comes next?

Hey Yipi- "The company is currently exploring the many options available for a merger or buyout" Is it that hard? Let the people who invest in your company in on your plans. Post something. Have you hired anyone to assist in this manner? Stock market is trading at historic highs and Yipi is doing....what? What plan is there going forward? Is there any reason to believe that something may happen that will cause this stock price to go up? For Gods sake man give people a reason to invest....

what does this mean?

Last year May started at .40 and ended at .93
June is when we hit the high mark of 2.28 (closing)

Thats hilarious

Thats a fair point however I don't care if its true or not. Right now the only news posted on trading platforms is where they claim they will follow up with more news in the coming week. Of course they haven't followed up with anything and that was posted in early April. Would anyone buy with just that news? If they just advertised they are packaging themselves to sell they could attract attention. Hell its a pennystock web browser with cloud technology looking to sell during a stock market all time high. I would say chances are good people would throw some money at that. Of course these dip shits have to be smart enough to figure that out and I am not convinced.

Looks like even those who got in at .11 are bailing.

Yipi numb. Thats great. It is really telling that there will be no PR of any sort as this stock continues to tank.

Thats a great post. I completely understand a buyer waiting for some kind of "needle mover". A PR, a statement of direction, any kind of positive communication from the company or developments. They haven't even published who they hired to do the companies assessment or if they have hired one. You have to dig in their quarterly to find that they have decided to hire one (they made that decision on a Saturday?) but they haven't announced who they have hired or if they actually have hired one yet. Who knows what they are doing-and thats the point.

If I were you I wouldn't worry about missing any news. Look back over the past 4 years of posts here and you will see the common theme is lack of information. Have a fun vacation.

This is the dreaming stock. You have to imagine the what ifs. Imagine they actually put out a PR about the unique technology they have and how they are packaging it to attract buyers. Actually promote how it could be of interest to other companies, possibly even the big guys. Maybe even attract some buying pressure on the stock. Give some new investors a reason to throw some money at this....
Imagine.

here are some positive statements that surely will be coming to the board soon:

Wow look how thin it looks!

A good PR could send this to the moon!

Come on PR!

Great time to scoop up these cheapies!

Velocity alone is worth over 2 a share

Bankruptcy is actually a good thing!

He has done a lot over the past year! Give credit where credit is due. 3 botched deals, PR statements that are false, lost money, and a complete downward PPS graph. That is hard to accomplish even for the most inept. I can't believe you guys are talking about them buying anything. They have around $30,000 in cash on hand. The only way they can buy anything is through giving away shares and at .20 that isn't all that attractive. How have those deals worked out so far?
As with all technology purchasing or merging a big part of it is getting qualified people. IBM bought this technology but also got the 160 highly talented engineers that designed it. I forget what does Yippy offer in this regard?

I'm as hopeful as anyone but common- the only way to save this is for someone to buy it.

The part that struck me about the original report was the reason WHY they weren't expecting revenue growth.

Glad to know I'm not the only one this stock is haunting!

Good stuff. This board has definitely been a ride lately!

Yeah that's how I read it as well. I'm thinking damage control will be coming soon and suggest that it wasn't him. Of course we will be so stupid for thinking it.

Even if you don't believe it was him it doesn't change the appearance that:
they didn't get funding (who is going to fund a bad deal?)
they didn't close any deals (it wasn't Yippy's fault!)
They are looking to sell. (what else can they do?)

For me they have so little credibility at this point it makes it a harder play than just the usual risky penny stock. I know people are going to say this one is different and they have "assets". I drank the kool aid as well but for me the reality is sinking in. I wouldn't be surprised if the next filing is titled Chapter 11.

At this point I am hoping for some sort of BS push that gives this a pump and dump style last run. Yes the share structure is good and I truly hope a run does happen, and it very well could. I am looking to get out but prefer a better price then where we are now. Hell starting Monday we will probably be back down to where it was four years ago. Maybe some sort of rumor can create enough demand to make "Pinky" scramble. How about you start the rumor that FB is going to buy them?

That is bright siding it. I like it.

I completely understand that position. Had I not experienced the posts myself I would think the same. Read what posts are left of his. To many coincidences for me not to be believe it was him. He has done this before on Facebook and that was posted here some time ago. I would like to believe it wasn't him.

He claimed he was the one keeping the company share structure in tact. He was the one feeding DFLY info. His rhetoric definitely matched the things I've read on this board about him. He then went on to chastise a investor for not doing enough due diligence. Still wrapping my brain around that one:

A guy who entered into three bad deals is going to tell a investor to do better due diligence? Oh man that is Rich! (pun intended)

for me its sell. There was no professionalism or leadership at all. Why not use this opportunity to promote instead of rant? Its historically Yippy season. I would ask yourself why are most of his posts deleted? It was a true tantrum including childish banter about him being in the big leagues and we need to listen and maybe learn more about life. There was a reason every deal didn't work out and we were stupid for not seeing that. It wasn't his fault of course. A con job (muse), some Russian deal (macte), and a bankrupt company (hb). All deals of which he entered, but how was he to know? Seriously we need to get a clue. The company is still there after 4 years how many can say that? Apparently he hasn't seen his own Profit and Loss sheet? I think he knows how many poorly run penny stock companies there are he just doesn't realize he is one of them. He is a dime a dozen, a penny stock company hemorrhaging money with something of potential value. With what I just saw I doubt many would be willing to work with him. Whats truly amazing is that he just alienated investors. I could see myself investing heavily into a emerging technology company. But you have to confident of the leadership. It makes no sense. I'm still in shock.

i hope everyone got a lesson in life today... READ MORE, LISTEN MORE, TALK LESS.

It's not EGO it's confidence in what we have here. Yippy still remains after four years trading.... how many penny stocks can claim that. Get over it believe it or move on

I learned my lesson. I guess I will have to move on with my 200,000 shares. Not willing to support a douche bag

Wow-

Muse- A con job
Highbeam- A bankrupt company that no investor would fund
Macte- A russian bad deal

Thats the leadership aye?

Yippy.com - Clusty.com - and 150 other live websites
Velocity
Commercial rights to the clustering patent

out of the billions of websites Yippy clutsy 150 unknowns are hardly valuable.


Vivisimo was bought for $145MM and they were losing $3MM a year on $16MM in revenue... do you think IBM gave a hoot about the 16MM in rev. That's a rounding error for a small division in the company.

IBM could have bought Yippy as well, they didn't. Go ahead and use that 10% ownership crap against your own rounding error comment

Let's say SAP, ORCL, MSFT, YHOO, GOOG, IAC, or many other companies in the data space want to cluster or use a better more developed clustering algo.... they can't use it. WHY - the patent.

Almost all patents are improvements on existing products. You don't think any of those companies will be able to create a new and improved clustering system?


If these companies need or want to bring the same as we have or another clustering method to market they only have two choices ... get IBM to let them ( good luck ) or buy Yippy.

Or make their own

With the rate of growth in data clustering is needed more than ever. It's just a matter of time before it will be our turn.

The technology has been there and there is no buying pressure as of yet. 3 year old technology isn't something missed its been looked at and passed on

Patience little man. You play in the junk... I play in the big leagues. What have we done wrong here... truly... we didn;t bust the stock down a program did... we have grown the revenues ... added significant intellectual property to the value of this company.

What this?


Just to show you how in my opinion unsophisticated you are as an investor RU... why do you think HighBeam has not closed ????

Did you do any due diligence on Cengage ??? Did you read the APA. ( Asset Purchase Agreement )

Did Yipi do any diligence? Could they not see the eminent BK coming? Doesn't this make them unsophisticated?


If you did you'll see that on Mar. 22 2013 it was reported in bloomberg that a Cengage BK is eminent. They hired the largest BK firm in the world on the 21st of March.

And if you knew that and were a sophisticated investor you would have known that the 10 year content license granted in that deal is in jeopardy if they file BK and the 8MM shares they would have received in the deal would have potentially by court order made free trading and DUMPED on all of us. Do you want Yippy to close that deal now ???? Would it be better to wait and get it in BK ??? Please inform all of us your greatness what we should do here??? LOL

why not wait for Yipi BK to grab velocity?


Again... you think your are sophisticated. Investing is not trading... Investing is research and due diligence and patience.

In my mind this board is about information spreading. This is a pennystock where most investors are newer, not some teenage brow bashing ego trip site

I read what you are saying as this:

Week after April 4th:
They didn't get the financing.

April 20:
They are at the end of the road and had to hire a company to see if they can sell

April 26:
Ceo realized there is no future.

I dont see a CEO coming into a company that is going belly up and looking to sell. Read their own words. They will not make it without funding. We will not see any additional information about Muse or Highbeam -just like we haven't for last 11 months in the case of Muse and 4 months for HIghbeam.

Maybe your right and the very people who do not seem to understand a PR will suddenly change and put out a clear and informing PR. I'm doubtful.

I believed in this company. Probably my first mistake.

At this point I'm just hoping for a last ditch pump.

Seriously considering bailing. The more I think about it the more I see these things:

1-They couldn't get financing and without it "the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern"
2-The CEO has left
3-They can't and haven't closed any deals i.e. Museglobal, Highbeam, Macte Labs, and financing
4-Their only option left is to try to sell but they have already been seen by Yahoo, IBM, Infospace, and Gale
(I will leave open the possibility of Gale but they are selling what Yipi is trying to go into which gives me serious pause) Yahoo in particular has been buying up smaller technology companies but mainly for talent. What talent does Yippy have on board?


I am still hopeful of one more big pump but I'm concerned they don't have enough positive things going on to do it. Is this all the pump there is? 11-29? maybe .30?

Thoughts?

I didn't see that either but a buyout or merger is better. Hopefully started as financing and turned into buyout.

That is what we all have been waiting for....

the real turn wont come until good news is released. With this company its anyones guess when and if that will ever happen.

Wow. Not sure what to think of that....

where did you see that? How do you know that?

I've noticed a few things a few things about their PRs:

-1/3 of their filings have been- Notification of late filing
-the undeniable common thread of this chat room is the pitiful job they have done with PRs
-I can think of two PRs that raise serous questions about their understanding of a PR 1) Rich was personally going to fly to New York and look into stock price manipulation- I don't understand why you would post this to begin with but then never follow up with anything? 2) Releasing a statement that you have a financing team in place and should be posting the deal the following week- and then don't?

Man I hope you are right and they release a bunch of positive news soon and it coincides with a strong advertising push but at this point I am operating on faith alone......

bottom-feeding looks about done- 200,000 shares one day to 13,000 shares a few days later
selling is heavy- the volume of the ask (shown) out weighs the volume of the bids (shown)
good chance it will end up red today- looked to be more interest in unloading shares than buying them. I'm surprised we didn't end the day with a hit on the bid at closing.

I read your posts. I know you know your stuff. I'm just explaining what I meant.

I hope there is good news soon and things get a lot better for us bag holders.

There is a good chance of finishing in the red today. The selling looks heavy and someone will hit the bid....

well looks like the bottom feeding is about done. Now we all sit and wait for the news. Lets hope its enough for a big run....

I can't help but believe this is Yipi giving out shares to the promoters. We have watched the stock price be forced down for the last few months. (Much to Yipsters dismay) Then we get some teaser news right before the annual spike of the stock. Tons of cheap shares coming from nowhere. Volume that has been unseen....
Don't get me wrong I don't care. It tells me they are preparing for a run. Just run this baby, run!!!
