The dearth of news of late has convinced me that something significant is brewing, the normal sp prop up rns's have been quiet of late.

With Macdonalds attempting to clean up their image a biodegradeable carton would be seen as another positive step.

Good, indeed, but more significant, I think, will be a breach of the downward sloping resistance line drawn from the June peak (afer the May spike) through the October peak, hitting today's date at about 15.50p. That following on from the strong double botom at 12.5p should take up back up to 18.5p (for a while anyway).

Some further news re higher costs of Plastic based packaging.

Graham Packaging Institutes Price Increase to Offset Significant Energy- Related Inflation
YORK, Pa., Dec. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Graham Packaging Company, L.P. has
announced a price increase of 3 percent, effective January 5, 2006, to offset
significant cost inflation primarily driven by the sharp increase in energy-
related costs in the manufacture and shipment of its plastics packaging
products.

Almost every day, there is news that a plastic based food packaging manufacturer is having to increase prices.
The cost re transport will obviously apply to all packaging, it's the manufacturing cost of the oil based material that is the main increase in cost.

mm`s being generous with some large bid prices today,what`s up.

Season of goodwill to all men ('cept blinger of course) ;-)

as I posted over on another BB....

Greetings team,

now what would we call the edible McDonalds packaging?

A McStarpol doesn't sound good...........

A "McTray" of course. Can't wait to get my teeth into one. Suitable for vegetarians too.

Not worried..........but expecting possible delays with the FDA (Food and Drugs Admin)in the USA. They can be picky.

ORLANDO, Fla., Jul 26, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE)

"As oil prices continue to spiral upward, Starpol is increasingly becoming more cost-competitive, and already in some cases is less expensive than its oil-based competitors," said Morgan-Fisher. "Landfill space is in short supply and governments are seeking alternatives to non-renewable, non-recyclable substances.

"Stanelco is currently in discussion with a number of multi-national organizations to discuss the supply and usage of considerable quantities in the United States and worldwide," added Morgan-Fisher. "It will be a matter of weeks before we are in large scale production, as the material has performed so well on existing equipment during recent trials."

A McDonalds deal on the table would be great for year end. Even better should we hear of interest from Burger King/Wimpey etc. Personally I can't see anyone wanting to really eat a "McTray". It would all come down to the company using the same hygeine standards for packaging as they do for food.

Hmmm, pack the packaging ?

Nah

U.S. stocks dip as oil rise stokes profit worries
Mon Dec 5, 2005 1:25 PM ET


(Updates to midday)

By Emily Chasan

NEW YORK, Dec 5 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks slumped on Monday after oil prices hit their highest level in nearly a month and investors sold retail and semiconductor shares on concerns about profitability, cashing in on a recent run-up in prices.

Crude oil prices topped $60 a barrel for the first time since Nov. 9, fueled by expectations that cold weather in the U.S. Northeast would boost demand. High energy costs, which cut into consumer spending and corporate profits, remained a concern for investors. U.S. crude for January delivery rose 93 cents at $60.25 a barrel.

The Dow Jones industrial average was down 31.54 points, or 0.29 percent, at 10,845.97. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 2.50 points, or 0.20 percent, at 1,262.58. The technology-laced Nasdaq Composite Index was down 14.23 points, or 0.63 percent, at 2,259.14.

Higher oil prices also stoked concerns raised in the Federal Reserve's "beige book" summary of economic conditions on Friday that higher energy costs could cause more inflation and a decline in consumer spending.

"The market had such a big run recently ... it's nervous and prone to look for a little profit-taking. So when you get any sort of headline trigger, it moves stocks lower, and I think oil is it," said Chip Hanlon, president of Delta Global Advisors Inc. in Huntington Beach, California.

"Investors who are afraid the Fed may show no signs of backing down from its rate-tightening campaign will also be prone to sell stocks," he added.

Hurting the Nasdaq, shares of chipmakers fell after hitting their highest level in more than a year and a half on Friday. The Philadelphia Stock Exchange's Semiconductor Index fell 1.4 percent as investors worried about profits in the sector despite strong sales volume, said Joseph Battipaglia, chief investment officer of Ryan, Beck & Co., a brokerage and research firm. "The volume is there, but, of course, the prices are still not extraordinarily robust," he said.

Shares of Intel Corp. (INTC.O: Quote, Profile, Research) fell before a midquarter update from Intel on the revenue and profit outlook on Thursday. Intel shares were off 1.8 percent at $26.92 after a run-up last week.

Retailers fell on lingering concerns about holiday sales profits. Shares of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT.N: Quote, Profile, Research) fell 1.1 percent to $47.46, while Home Depot Inc. (HD.N: Quote, Profile, Research) shares fell 0.5 percent to $41.48.

"The retail numbers that we saw after Thanksgiving weren't bad, but they weren't good," said Bernie Myszkowski, executive vice president and director of equity investments at ABN Amro Asset Management in Chicago.

Maybe maybe not, just think the packaging must currently come packed.... Maybe Starpool packaged in Greenseal containers!! Theres a thought!!
