Obviously MoneyAM will squelch the parasite tomorrow; but how do they stop him/it mutating to another species under another name?
There is, fortunately, a serious dialogue going on. If the analysis is correct we are dealing with 'teething troubles' like what I have! So we are talking about delay not derailment. That means buying opportunity because ASDA are staying with it and the other are waiting in the wings. Need to forget 2005/6 figures; 2006/2007 should be the breakthrough.

Stick him in a Jiffy bag (not Frogpack) and drop him from a helicopter.

Would you use a sterilised needle to give a fatal injection to multiple murderer?
Why waste a perfectly good jiffy bag?

Guys,
This thread had just recovered from the same person(?) causing infighting and grief. If we discuss him now it will descend into the same pit again.
Best course of action is for us all to ignore him in whatever guise he chooses and crack on with a thumping good debate on a share that is so wide open to interpretation we could debate a 2 line RNS for months!!
I agree with Eric. They've caught the rabbit. They've got the ingredients. The damn cooker has gone on the fritz. The point I was making earlier was given a choice between a company who had fantastic equipment, products and ideas, but no big boys interested in coming to the party and a company, and a company who have got the big boys there and then realised their aint enough beer and had to nip to the off license, I know which i'd choose.
Metaphors are mixed but you get the gist!!!

Nice interpretation Alan!
Will not discuss 'it' anymore, it will be ignored from now on, the shitty little bastard.

So, the machine hasn't coped under stress, it will be fixed and the income from the end product will be sufficient to fund future research and development and put money in the bank, the Starpol side of things will be so huge the dividend payable will be bigger than the Royal Bank of Scotland's. How's that for a scenario? But, as you say who going to cook the rabbit? This 'green' economy thing is catching on fast, anything to save the world etc - surely it won't be long before the whole thing is sorted and shifting!
Had a VERY large whiskey so probably making less sense than usual!

garyble thanks for the reply.
longevity of the tooling - now what does this actually mean. I may be a little ignorant in my understanding of a Greenseal fitted packing machine but my understanding was that it was in simple terms a heat sealing machine with heating sealing equipment replaced by a radio frequency unit. Presumably during sealing there are no physical contacts between the RF unit and the plastics/trays so what tooling is it that isn't lasting or is wearing out? Is it a problem with the RF unit? Maybe it works ok for a few minutes at a time or an hour but are the RF units upto continuous use such as 8 or 12 hours at a time? Do RF units have moving parts or parts in contact that wear?
Not trying to pick holes but merely understand the technology, issues and risk.
Cheers

What I do not understand here is that Greenseal has been lauded for goodness knows how long.
As a comparison, would Ford announce a revolutionary new car engine, run it to the corner store and back and put it on the market, or would they have it on a test bed for hundreds of hours.
The management of this company may be clever in thinking out green alternatives in the packaging industry, but thinking is the first stage, bringing the product to market in a complete and workable form is the ultimate. We do not seem to have that.
Why were the shareholders not told there had been teething problems with Greenseal, all we had was a note that said only two machines were in play.
I am a shareholder in SEO and believe it has great potential, but with this management I have not sure they will deliver.
Walmart's and the American business ethos is " You can talk the talk, but you have to deliver".
Can they ?

I think I've worked out why I'll never understand the markets.
Company A; We got a product here that we are going to start trialling with Asda. Okay we're making a loss but this could turn us around. There are rumours that Wal Mart might be interested if the trials go well. By the way. we are defending a court case and god alone knows what that will cost and how long it will take. (SEO May/June 2005) Share price 28p
Company B; Yeah we are still making a loss but that court case is over, done and settled, and we still got the technology. The trials have hit major problems but Asda love the product and are helping us resolve it. WalMart is no longer a rumour cos they want to fasttrack the product and it appears that large takeaway chains are also sniffing around. We now have definite orders for another technology and plans to license it across the USA. We found an old patent gathering dust in the kitchen cupboard and we are currently auctioning it to the highest bidder. It may be worth just 50p, but who knows.
(SEO March 2006) share price 14p
I'm a simple bloke but despite the disappointments of the last 9 months, I still prefer company B!!

I like company B too Alan but until we have confirmation that Greenseal IS going to work, then I feel that Starpol will be the biggest earner for SEO. Who knows what they have in their R & D department though?

But thats the point, Kim.
Last summer Starpol was almost unusable because it didn't have FDA approval, so was just a nice idea. Today we are arguing about one potential contract and whether it is for 150 million units or 1500 million units!
I am in the habit of cutting away the delays and rumours and promises and jam tomorrows and looking at the facts.
the fact is SEO is in a much better position than it was when the share price was twice this, on rumour and speculation!!
Yes, I'm disappointed as hell, but I was a holder during the high points and SP aside, if I had been offered the SEO position of today (cc done, Walmart in, negotiations for production licenses, takeaway giants wanting a slice) I would have took it, no question.
I think most of us would, except the Asda delays. And even then Asda have seen so much good from the kit they are prepared to wait and work with SEO to make it happen.
I might be playing Jobs comforter here but I am honestly of the opinion that the future is brighter now than it has ever been.

Shares Mag. today contains a good letter on SEO from a subscriber. It might prompt them to come back to discussing SEO in more detail since they have been silent on them for a long time. Perhaps as we approach this 1.5 billion tray deal being signed (I'm hearing that that might be in May)

Biscuit ,if Alan wants to send me an email that should be none of your concern.Stanelco are not known for their plain english are they?After every RNS / announcement there is a discussion as to the interpretation of it.Anyhow it looks like there has been a problem with a part of the kit wearing out prematurly,not with the GS technology itself.As they say if you want to sort out a ship you don't do it in the dockyard you take it to sea,that's when you find the problems.So maybe the machines didn't work so well in suppliers sites as opposed to in the lab.and now this is 95%resolved.I believe in this company(I wouldn't have 130k+shares otherwise)and am in for the long term but do have a problem with the amount and clarity of their news.How about the USA web site whilst on the subject of communication?Also Sylvia if you are there I believe it is "roll out "not "role out".Best of luck to all long term holders.

Some good commentary, lads and lasses (not sure who of you are lasses but there must be some when the upside is so great). The problem is that we are undertaking a day by day commentary whilst SEO are dealing with commissioning products with ground-breaking technology. I don't fully understand the technology though pleased that some do: I expect a machine doesn't need to be electro-mechanical to require tooling; the trays need to move and there are an awful lot of those. A GreenSeal machine needs presumably to be moved on-line and that, at some stage, will hold up production; the line managers need to be happy everything is working. So you wheel in an SEO machine that is already happily working whilst you modify the machine that is owned by the customer. So you need some time because you are no longer in the lab. Eventually the first machines are fully commissioned, you have a happy customer and you can pick up momentum. Not sure where we acutally are in this process; it may be going on as we are are commenting. What I don't accept are those who criticise from the touch-line. Better to learn a bit of patience. It took God a bit of time and now gestation is only 9 months. Well we are nearly nine months in and I think the first babies are being delivered or have been delivered. Evenually it will be only a week per delivery and babies will be delivered in parallel. Lets say two a week, then 200 would be delivered in 50 weeks; or 3 a week and we are there by December. That's the model (not the curvaceous sort) in my mind. Prepared to revise it, if necessary. The main thing is that it is a matter of time. Most investors are fickle and not prepared for delays. Good to have Starpol licensing deals with mega-numbers around; different model; 0 or 1; shit or bust. The sp was built on GreenSeal and, as I see it, is justified on 2007 potential. Starpol is certainly worth 5p now, I would have thought, but could quickly be 10p or even 15p. Pleased to add that onto GreenSeal. sp of 15p is now not a problem; it will get motoring as one or both of these come to fruition. Topped the CFD position up to 100K which as 1k per 1p. Quite comfotable with that on - on the touch-line!
