Some how I doubt Stanelco would have allowed Starpol to be tested by ASDA before they were doubly sure that it was water tight, Martin Wagner would have known exactly what standard ASDA were looking for. You should only have doubts if you haven't done your research properly but in my view if that's the case then you shouldn't be investing in shares anyway. Remember Martin Wagner has worked for ASDA, Terry Robbins for Sainsbury's, these are not fools that the company has employed, they were employed for a reason!

I hope you are right, Baza. I think you are right!!
My nightmare scenario though, is that the lack of news causes a steady drift, which in turn causes chart or jittery selling, causing the pace of drift to pick up. If that happens then the best close statement in the world aint gonna help too much. It needs to be sooner rather than later, to smooth ruffled feathers.

ok guys next concern - I thought I would try a bit of bravado and BUY a few more - not many - but BSL have stopped dealing on line because the MM's have removed them from the system. What does that tell us ????

So your saying that BSL won't trade in shares of a fully listed company on the LSE?

Only over the telephone - they have stopped dealing on line because MM's have removed them from their automated system.
I can still buy - but only at telephone commissionn rates - rather than the online rates of 7.50

I just went online chaps and i couldn't buy (i'm just trying it on your behalf) ,this only happens usually when the SP is moving fast either way ,and the MM's stop you dealing electronically ,,,this ia strange as it's not a busy day for SEO so far ..

......Jimmy thats my worry
Now just maybe - just maybe there is a businesswire announcement being timed for release to the US Market at 8.30 (2.30 our time). Someone said that MM's get RNS's 1 hour before official release. No idea if this is true - and maybe I am clutching at straws - but could that be an explanation - that a business wire is due for release which will cause panic or joy and ...and....
ok - I am clutching at straws - but I cant see a logical explanation at the moment.

Does the 1st of the month play any part in this dip?
I believe so.
Happy to hold.

Well they're only down .25 yet some people seem to be making a big deal of it, I tend to suspect some people may be short that's why there's a lot of rot been talked on here again.
