I know that packaging is now stanelcos main buisness, but I was wondering if the growth in japan might support the communications/. electronics side of the buisness and improve revenue From memory that seemed to be were a lot of their buisness came from. Does anyone elsa have any thoughts? Or have I got it all wrong!!!!

Morning all.

Its not often that I agree with ii, but I think that the price is heading south now until a really positive RNS appears.

The results of the ASDA Starpol trial is two and half weeks away. Lets hope that we don't have to wait that long for something to bite on.

The oily one

Bema,
May be a bit late to add, but I am intrigued by the possibilities of the dissolvable sachet that sainsburys were to use for soup. Can't think how to phrase the question, but are there any movements or developements either on that front with sainsburys or any signs that this may be discussed with the Knorr/Heinz type companies, or even discussed with MOD type establishments as better field supplies?
Its another one of those where the possibilities just keep adding up and since the product is, in effect, developed I can't understand the quietness on that front.
Thanks,
Alan

Soup packets were always going to be low margin, low volume affairs; would a customer want to put a whole packet into a cup as well?

Hygiene reasons for me would make this a no!

Fair point sham, but if the packet was boiled the hygeine is not an issue, and leaving the retail market aside for a moment, outdoor type activity places are always looking for this kind of product as simple, lightweight, and easily disposed of, and they will pay a large premium for those attributes.
Can't help thinking, also, that armed forces worldwide, spend a great deal of time ensuring that they leave no trace of where they have been, for security reasons, and so have to take all the provisions packaging with them when they have used their supplies. If I was CO in the paras, or something I would want to know more about the potential applications!
I don't for one moment think it is a mega margin producing thing, but it intrigues me as to where the idea went.
Alan

Good point, didn't think of that angle.

Have read the sas books and they even carry their own faeces with them rather than leave them for someone to find!

Re the disolvable packaging. As i understand it back in the days when Reckitts were looking at the issue re washing powder, blocks etc, the idea was for the portions to be in the disolvable wraps which in turn would have been in a larger none disolvable ( but still biodegradable ) packet. The same would presumable be with soups, so the hygiene issue would not arise. The issue was more for convenience from what i remember and also the less waste.

Now 8:1 @ 14.5 : 15 and 560k v 25k

alan - you mean you're not a para? Always pictured you in a little red beret with strings coming out behind your ears and lots of silk floating behind you. Gosh, sorry, had you all wrong - lol!

sd

Ah,
Your getting mixed up, SD, between my daytime job and moonlighting as a fantasy fetishist gigolo!!
Alan

5:4 and 14.5 : 15 @ 265k v 285k

I just bought a cfd @ 15 - fingers crossed

morning. ynotif, a little convoluted but a possibilty that you are right. it just makes you wonder why seo don't make things less ambiguous in the announcements. maybe then howard wouldn't have to come out with crap like, "the market doesn't understand" .
alan, the dissolvable packaging is from aquasol and i believe is still there in the background.

Agree andysmith re short term price movement without significant RNS (that don't expect). As he agrees ii it could be said that I agree ii!!! Important to see whether sp tests the 12p level again and if so whether it breaks that level. There could be signs that we are establishing a stable period - or relatively - with trading between 12p and 17p as bulls and bears slug it out. Dangerous time, methinks, for CFDs; at least until a definitite new trend is esablished..

Eric

"Major steps are also being made in both Europe and North America towards the commercialisation of a number of projects, particularly those involving Biotec's materials and Stanelco intends to update the market with these developments shortly."

Enough said

That was very cryptic Biscuit - Are you anticipating an announcement - or just reminding us what was said previously - or both ????

Eric/Andy - not what I wanted to hear - but respect your views. I sold out my previous cfd's at 16 - but wanted to be back in before Mondays announcement. Just felt that we had temporarily bottomed. I now get the feeling I may have called this one wrong - but will wait and watch.

Please dont say I told you so on Monday if it drops further - i will just quietly sell my cfd and reap my losses. Not touching my real shares - they are there to stay.

Bhunt, What margin are you getting on SEO's CFDs?


Interested have thought of using them on this share.

Fred - I use Barclays and generally tend to pay the price on the screen plus 17.50 per trade plus an overnight finance fee of Libor plus(cant remember what - but it is competitive).

Did I answer the question ?

Baza

A little bit more interest being shown - now 2:1 @ 14.75 : 15.25 and 100k v 10k

Anyone can see the shares are in a massive downtrend.Every time there`s a bounce in the price it is followed by a gradual decline, we can see that from the charts.The next fall will more than likely hit 10p with a bounce back up to 14p and as many have mentioned without firm orders i think this trend will continue down to 8p which is a more realistic market cap.I am still in for the long term though.

Bhunt,

Just stating facts as per the RNS of 3rd October, I take it that when a company says there are major steps being made and they're due to update the market on them shortly that they will update the market shortly about the major steps being made. No confusion or abiguity there.

Cheers,

Biscuit
