alan - just trying to be helpful - ;)

bugz - 200 conversions does not support the price at this level - it does not support a 10p price - i am sure the bears will raid again - if the chance comes - and ramping does have an effect with SE0 - even sham was back in today just in case of news - but the ramping only helps traders - what is ramped up - will be shorted down - so - as is SEO now - its an excellent traders stock - you can go long and short and long and short and make a fortune trading it up and down - this will only stop - when its fundamentals improve - or the price falls to where its fundamentals are - and jam tomorrow is not a fundamental.

Dow and Nas in the red - bad end to the week coming ?

Mind you the code for that seems to be VWAP and not VW checking my LSE codes.

So Bema based on what you said, it could be that most of those trades involved in the vw collective trade took place when the sp was really low this morning and that trade reflected buys, rather than what ii indicates above.

Wal-Mart endorses 'green' grocery packaging

By Harold Brubaker

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER


Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which in addition to being the nation's largest retailer is also the largest seller of groceries, has begun switching from petroleum-based to corn-based plastic packaging.

One of the first market tests undertaken by the retail giant involves 114 million clear-plastic clamshell containers for cut fruit, herbs, strawberries and brussels sprouts, Wal-Mart executive Matt Kistler said this morning at a conference in Philadelphia.

"This is a way to make a change positive for the environment and for business," said Kistler, who is vice president for product development and packaging for the company's Sam's Club division.

Kistler said the packaging initiative is part of a broad effort started a year ago by chief executive officer Lee Scott to incorporate environmental concerns into business decisions at Wal-Mart.

NatureWorks L.L.C., a Minnesota-based division of Cargill Inc., produced the plastic for the Wal-Mart containers from polylactic acid, which is derived from corn.

One advantage of the plastic made from polylactic acid - beyond the reduced consumption of crude oil - is its ability to be composted in carefully regulated municipal operations.

Containers and packaging accounted for 32 percent of municipal solid wastes by weight in 2003, according to the Environmental Protections Agency.

More than 200 people attended the Sustainable Packaging Forum at the Sheraton Society Hill Hotel. It was produced by Packaging Strategies Inc., West Chester.

Hey; another enjoyable catch-up; good to see Mr PM bite the dust - we must look out for him to reappear under another name. Interesting that its quite difficult for someone to change his style - does a dog change its spots, I ask; glad my own posts are nothing like PMs so will give sd a good hiding when I see him; by the way you tend to see a lot of squashed dogs by the roadside here.

Distance lends objectivity so they say. You could see the logic of oblomov and sham's sales around 18p as the upper trend line was tested. Bit surprised to see sham in at 15+p; ii (less objectionable recently, note) more likely to be right that we are still trading in the downward channel. Would have thought sd would have called a double bottom (hate the idea of a single bottom anyway). Alan asks the pertinent question whether trading has taken over from the fundamentals - I would have thought that the fundamentalists, like me, went mad and took the sp too high based on projections of greenseal, OK-founded on plausible figures from Evo and Peel Hunt, and since then the traders have had a field day. I'm sitting here trying to learn, well taking the sun and watching the girls and flowers as well. With a virtual pot, I think I would have been in with baza and out with sham, switching to a short (yes!) to match the shorts weather, possibly closing that about now and waiting for a further fall before coming back in. Baza of course has a lot of experience what with understanding level2 and being 95 years old today and therefore older than me. Happy birthday, too, to driver who is 15 today (15 months that is) from that lovely gooey picture of her.

I am appreciating charts a bit more in my old age,particularly double bottoms and those double tops with added curvature. But I will repeat my view is that the range on fundamentals is a cap of 100 to 150m (thats 75-100 for greenseal) and 25m to 50m for Starpol and an sp of 11p to 16p and that the channel needs to turn horizontal before retracing. I suspect that only signifiant news or rumours of news will change that. I also suspect that it will take until 2006 for that news to come through when I believe it will.

Eric

Clear as mud now.
Can anyone interprate this. Does this mean that Walmart are using Starpol they have bought from NW, who are supplied by SEO, and if so, is this the increased production / order that was in an RNS a few weeks ago.
Thanks for the posting PHart.
Alan

This would seem to be NW own brand PLA, not Starpol Alan.

Thanks for that Bema. Got confused because the article only mentions packaging for fruit and veg and it was something of a coincidence that that is all starpol has FDA approval for.
Alan

Alan: This is not Starpol. NW are supplying Starpol who are servicing parts of the amrket that NW cannot reach with their nproduct. Must be the case that NW will be cheaper if other ingredients not needed (presumably to allow 'microwabability'). But this is a very significant step forward for WM and takes them in teh direction of Greenseal and Starpol - just needs time; my point above.

Eric

I assume that as the foods mentioned were not microwaveable or MAP packaged Starpol would have had little advantage over NW standard PLA.

Please correct me if i have this wrong anyone.

Think Bema and I have read it the same way - you have a great mind, bema!

Oh dear me!
Alan writing "PHart" makes me realise I have been mispronouncing "Phart" all these months - and I just thought he had just misspelled it! LOL

Tony, lol, me too !

Mind his input, I mean output, is a lot more positive, potentially aromatic, than most pharts!

He hasn't replied so perhaps I'm wrong and the 68 refers to his age. That would make him an old phart.
Alan

Re the post, OMG - oil price falling - oil everywhere .

Has anyone known the price of oil to be constant, or always in a rise. After every price hike, within a few weeks the price invariably drops. As to oil everywhere, winter is almost upon us, and oil requirements in most of Europe, and many parts of the USA increase fairly drastically. Oil is not never ending, even if Iraq comes fully on stream. The time for the development and bringing none oil based production on line is now. Those that get in latter are those that will pay the higher price.
IMHO Asda have called it right by getting in on the ground floor, others will soon be trying to catch up. Many companies are perhaps allowing Asda to be the company that trial it for others, be it in a none official way.

Does anyone know if Greenseal is going to be used in conjunction with Walmarts decision to go with Natureworks material ???

Have i got this right ..Stanelco produce Starpol but in order to do so they have to buy in raw ingredients from Natureworks ??

Jaguer2,

As greenseal, and starpol can work in conjunction with each other ( natureworks ) I would think it almost inevitable that if walmart come on board with greenseal, the link with natureworks will be automatic. Obviously no one knows for sure.

jaguar, seo buy the main ingrediant , pla , from nw.

"Stanelco, the radio frequency (RF) applications Group, is pleased to announce
that it has entered into a supply agreement with NatureWorks LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Cargill Inc. The agreement covers the supply of NatureWorks PLA,
(Polylactide, a starch derivative), which is the largest component of Stanelco's
recently announced Starpol 2000TM range of biodegradable, compostable plastic
materials. "
