Today Andrew Ruben, Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) vice president stated...A few steps the company is taking include:
Elimination of 25 percent of the solid waste from U.S. stores in the next three years, with the corporate goal of producing zero waste.
Ruben also made it clear that he expects the company's environmental stewardship will prove beneficial to its bottom line and the consumer. "We believe that this is good business".
END OF EXTRACT
As we all know Greanseal cuts the amount of waste, re packaged food that is thrown away. Also Starpol being environmentally friendly.
I am sure we have all noticed that over the last few months Walmart are on a consumer friendly publicity role.
As they say every little helps ( Asda ).

Alan,
Have you seen the news that SAINSBURY'S has regained its crown as Britain's second-biggest supermarket chain, having overtaken rival Asda, according to market research group ACNielsen.
Asda will not like that. They will have to pull out all the stops.
Now when the exclusivity deal re Greanseal finishes, will Sainsbury be on the must have list.
( Your right of course, 'Every liitle helps' was from the Tesco ad and not Asda's.

Wasn't Sainsbury SEO's original trial partner?

Soup.
That was it. Packet soup where the packet was part of the soup.
Don't know what happened to it.

Don't start the jokes, Kim. You will incur the broth, sorry wrath, of other posters.

How many of those traders selling today understand the new 30 day rule?? Not many I suspect, as they must be assuming there will be no news for over 30 days from now. Wouldn't it have been wiser to sell these shares 30 days ago and buy back on the 6th???

Biscuit, thats what the wiser ones will have done :)
March has been a downtrend month, so now April should see an uptrend as they buy back in, in staggered format, of course if they want to buy back that is, and why not.....

BL, Who is stirring the soup?
Bi, it depends on the size of holdings but I believe they can be legitimately re bought in an ISA within seven days.

Sitting on my hands trying to stop myself acting on my stop loss of 13.75p. Just feel I need to give it till the new tax year starts tomorrow and think the probability we'll get out of this little dip is greater than the probability we'll fall further IMHO.
For anyone who cares to respond, I'm not looking for an argument!

To me that sounds the right thing to do. I am sure that within two or three weeks there will be some good news that will drive the sp up from here.
Somebody on another board has just lost patience with SEO and bailed out with s 40K loss. Ouch!!
I really do believe that he will kick himself when the news comes.

sd I assume you don't see the dropbelow the support level of recent weeks is significant given that its all with a wimper, like a naughty puppy. Caught with a margin call but off-loaded a few ASOS rather than SEO on the assumption that its primarily end of tax year stuff. After all, WalMart see SEO as a significant supporter of their green policies. Its 12 months since the ASDA agreement was announced and only 2 machines still in final stages of commissioning; nevertheless we know SEO somewhat better now and the big question is when rather than if.

You could liken bailing out with a 40k loss at this stage, with leaving the cinema just before the end of a really good film, what a bloody silly thing to do!

That analogy reminds of when I was flying back to London from Katmandu, after a trek up above the Everrest base camp, on Pakistan International Airways. They showed "Gone With the Wind"; started about 90 minutes after dinner. Many of us were dog tired as the flight was delayed several hours during a stop in Karachi. With eyes looking like piss holes in the snow from tiredness and strain, they turned the flim off just a couple of minutes before the famous words "Frankly my dear I don't give a damn" were uttered and they served breakfast. They never showed the end!
Talk about all foreplay and no satisfaction!

I hope that, at the very least, the breakfasts came in Greensealed containers! Have to say I am a tad jealous - a trek up above the Everest base camp, not bad! I had a back operation some years ago and was told I would not be able to walk far again; I was determined I would and have made it my ambition to walk up Snowdon (the only mountain in the range that I have never been up) I have yet to accomplish this, but I will. Everest though, unfortunately not!

' Morning all
So what's the betting that, post the tax year shuffling, we see the price beginning to rise today. Hope it does after I have bought another tranche for my ISA/SIPP today.

I guess some people leave the cinema because they don't like unhappy endings - or have to get home for breakfast!
