Take your point, Bugz, and I would like to see some substance, but........
To my knowledge, WalMart were never mentioned in any official release from SEO til now. The heady days of 30p+ were based on Asda and guesswork, whispers and rumours. So the news of a definite tie up with WM is substantive.
And it is a tie up. We may not have news of a contract but WM are fast tracking SEO products in certain areas. This is not the talk of negotiations, this is the talk of a contract being in place and WM wanting certain things to happen quickly, even if other areas of the contract remain to be finalised.
If anyone is expecting results that include phrases like 50 squillion tons of Starpol per year, then i fear they will be disappointed. It is more likely to read that "an agreement" has been reached for WM to take some SEO product and it is envisaged this will be the start of much larger supplies.
After all, that is probably closer to the truth. My reading of todays release is that the two are working together to commercialise Starpol and Greenseal on WMs terms.
Having had a look at the WM website they are proud of acting as a kind of mentor to suppliers and I think this is more likely the relationship, rather than the simple contract to buy quantity we would prefer.
On Greenseal and Asda I think we will be shy of 200 conversions by the end of the exclusivity period. That is why I think the trials have been succesful enough to warrant Asda reporting to WM and WM mentoring SEO with a view to maximising the technology so that WM can use it broadly and succesfully.
After all SEO could hardly take on the whole of WM if 200 Asda conversions in a year are beyond them.
Monday will tell, but I don't expect a crackerjack statement.
Having said that I have a history of being woefully wrong.
Anyone else have thoughts and prepared to look as big a tit as me on Monday?

Nice RNS and confidence booster....
The below link sums up Wal-Marts commitment to the environment and waste. Its easy to see how SEO fits into the picture after reading and on many different levels.... Maybe next year Wal-Mart will be publishing how many barrels of natural oil Greenseal saved the company along with power savings for its partners and suppliers.

Good news today if it can be turned into orders. Just the results to come but more importantly the updates on progress which is why the sp was subdued today IMO.
Last year we all knew results would be crap yet there was an initial 20%ish drop in sp which recovered during the day. If the progress is reasonable, even if not all that was expected and there is a real chance of business with Walmart then any drop will be a buying opportunity.

Explosive,
I believe the news, sp movement and the probability of better than expect results has all been a bit too much for him.
Anyway, only one more hurdle and its a clear track.

"This share is going gang-busters and I am buying a shed-load for family Cawkwell - may be in for the long haul". So says Evil Knievil. Where is Bling and his fellow shorters! Take heed to your master. One thing about EK: he knows when to short and when to go long. I expect our old friend, Paul Masterson, has been at him again.
The AFX, not quoted above, appears more positive than that quoted. It says that "Wal-Mart will be using Stanelco's GreenSeal R/F Technology" although goes on to say that work has begun on Starpol. It was the expectation that WM would pick up GreenSeal that led the buying to 30p and beyond last year. Times have changed and it appears that the market is much more cynical. Personally, I took out another CFD this morning at 16.5p and will go on building the stake as the SP rises. The bears are struggling hard to hold the resistance level. I am not expecting much in the way of figures on Monday and am resigned to ASDA being behind schedule. But the WM involvement is confirmation that there is no disenchantment at the ASDA end. We really are now where we thought we might be six months ago. The prospects are as good as they were then - it will just take a bit longer.
