Hi Guys

Yell will keep Yellow Pages as long as it makes money but is anxious to reinvent itself as an on line business.

They need the revenue from YP to finance the massive debts they are carrying.

I have been in and out of the shares 3 times in the past 2 weeks and have made a tidy profit, but it was pretty hairy trying to sell immediately the market opened this morning and I was lucky. :o

Cheers

Doug

  hi
  iam thinking of going back on yell.com for the first time in 4 years. not because i think it has improved, but because i have just talked prices with the guy and he is offering me deals for peanuts.

 i only need a few leads to justify the spend so got to be worth doing.

 cheers
