Just got in and saw that this has dropped off the map. I'm surprised that it has gone down this far.
Bottom out around the .44 area?
We don't know the answers to any of those questions.
If we knew who were in the pictures then we might be able to figure out who SRSR is trying to make a deal with.
Its nice to see Granville giving shareholders an update as to what happened.
What would the group be looking for? or at? or what kind of information would they want when they were looking at the property?
I agree that there is no excuse for it. Hopefully it won't happen again and we'll get a PR/update soon.
I think you could be right. This volume isn't just from people selling.
Shareholders are frustrated...and need updates. Without them some of them will do whatever to gain more information. Its pretty simple. Do I think it is right? Of course not. But unfortunately it happens. We've been holding shares for years.
Shareholders have dumped hundreds of thousands of dollars into this. They have the right to be informed and updated periodically. That doesn't mean they should invade someone's privacy. However, the company should do a better job communicating with shareholders so that something like this doesn't happen.
I'm still trying to figure that out...
I'm thinking from around 1.15. It'll easily bounce back up to the 1.85 level. There was massive accumulation and money dumped into this around there. I think its an easy trade for people wanting to make some easy money.
JMHO.
I've learned too many times not to be greedy. I've learned the hard way my fair share of times.
I'll be buying again soon. Yippy is turning into a great company with an amazing future. The fundamentals are all there...the technicals are not.
Yes. That is how I understand it. The shares in our account will be available for trading.
I sold my entire position late yesterday afternoon to take profits. I was thinking it would trace back down to the 1.85 level and I would buy back in again. I'm waiting for the bottom to buy again and load back up.
I'm surprised it has dropped this much.
Last hour of trading...watch it run.
Great post. Spot on.
I have a feeling that this afternoon is going to be fun to watch...especially after 3. I'm thinking we'll see new highs and be above $2.25 on big volume.
50k shares isn't a whole lot....shares are hard to come by and investors that are doing their DD will eat em up.
Does anyone know how this Merger will work? Who will be the CEO? BOD? Officers? Etc...
I'm trying to figure out what the company structure might look like.
That is just a revenue to OS ratio/price. Short term I think high 2s is realistic. Long term it is anyones best guess.
Good work. I came up with a similar figure based on those numbers. However with more news and company updates I think it will go higher.
Profit taking and accumulation tomorrow. A base set up in the 1.70s? There are shares to be had but they won't be cheap.
"The combined parties have over 50 employees in 4 countries and with current combined revenues in the upper 7 figures and rising quickly"
I wonder how long that will last.
Good Luck.
Where do you get 10M a year from?
If you can get in tomorrow morning then you can easily flip this for double your money in the not so distant future.
LOL if I didn't have shares I'd want it to go back down to $1 also. You can pay $1.86 and ride it up to $4-5 a share and still double up easily.
Its great to see pictures of something happening. Hopefully a deal is in the works.
With more news on the way....this is just starting to get good. My order was just filled. I'll be buying all week if I can get funds to clear fast enough. Like I said earlier...this is screaming BUY. I think this is a double for sure at this price point.
This sure is fun to watch.
Just saw the news...I'm still trying to digest it. Its better than I thought it would be. I'm actually surprised. The amount of employees and the revenues shocked me. My price target is being raised once again.
A few weeks ago I was thinking Yippy would get taken over and bought out but now I don't know if that will be the case. They have the technology that everyone needs/wants. However, I think Granville and the CEO for MuseGlobal almost sounded like they want to take a run at Google/Yahoo/Bing and challenge them.
They would be crazy to not entertain offers if the big companies made an offer for a buyout. But I'm not totally sold on if they would sell. By the sounds of it and the research that I've been able to do...the technology and the 3 companies together I think are worth upwards of a few hundred million dollars.
I was thinking they company would have to raise the OS by 35-40% to merge, so I'm happy to see only 26%.
I'm buying more under $3.50 for a price target around $6 by mid to late August when school gets back in session.
JMHO and 2 cents...but I'm a believe and a buyer of Yippy. Job well done by Granville and Co.
I wonder how a buyout would work...
I would assume anyone looking to buyout Yippy would now need to buy MuseGlobal also.
I'm also wondering what will happen to the companies as they merge. Will Yippy's name change to something else? Will all the assets be transferred over? There are a lot of questions. Hopefully Monday we will get a full report and run down on how things are going to play out.
Microsoft has tons of cash....they could spend a few hundred million and buy Yippy pretty easily. Then they would have total access to all the property rights.
I would like to know what happened with the Microsoft and Yippy case for the slogan "Welcome to the Cloud". If Microsoft really wants it, then they could be looking at having to pay a lot of money or buy out Yippy as a whole.
Does anyone have any more information on this? Is Yippy still fighting this?

I would agree. Mergers can be complicated and a lot of different variables go into the equation. In the long run, this deal will prove to be very valuable.
MuseGlobal is HUGE. They bring a ton to the table. It will be interesting to see all the details of this deal. This is a big step in the right direction. It'll be interesting to see how the market responds.
I wasn't expecting this at all....this is MASSIVE NEWS! Look at that executive team!
It'll be a great day when we are selling shares north of $4. But at the moment being at $1.20 is nice.
It is hard to be confident when we don't hear any news or company updates. Keevil has left shareholders in the dark wondering.
"Welcome to the Cloud"....that is a line that most companies would want if they could use it. I think it is a smart move. Property rights are what companies want.
