Bos,

No not really, but I had a few spare pictures I wanted to use!

Less tolerance of waste gaining momentum.

Zero waste movement takes hold

GrassRoots Recycling Network is calling on companies to take responsibility for the entire lifecycle of their products and packaging, and on governments to not subsidize non-recyclable waste processing.
Lombardi, a leading light in the fledgling U.S. zero waste movement, lays out four basic principles for achieving zero waste:

While the concept has been slow to catch on here, it has been standard practice in parts of Europe and elsewhere for more than a decade. In fact, some 25 countries require companies to take back their packaging, and some have gone so far as to mandate "extended producer responsibility" laws, whereby companies must pay for the waste generated in the production, packaging and distribution of their products. ( What a great idea. This would certainly focus companies minds ).

The less waste tide is continualy gathering monentum.

Does anyone know what price Fidelity paid for SEO shares and what their likely strategy would be now, to hold, add or sell off as stop losses are triggered?

I think Fidelity as most institution do will look at the long term prospects and hold.
Don't know what they bought at ( last purchase ), so can't help there.
The FTSE 100 is down again by 56 points, so with stop losses added to this it is not helping. The mm's are making a market as they do, and I expect plenty of bargain hunters at these prices.

This sell-off looks way over-done on stocks like SEO. With a product catalogue as good as theirs they must be looking appetisingly cheap to their competitors. Personally I would rather they get further down the road to commercialisation so that any bid process would start at a higher sp. Anyone any views on this thought?

S/s
Shares under direct or indirect control of the Directors, including exercisable Option Schemes, are in excess of 26% - possibly higher if they have other voting powers through Trustee schemes.
If a competitor sees a potential worth bidding for, would our Directors not know that potential as well or better?
In which case what reason would there be for them not to resist and block a bid ? Other than have an easier life now.

Sharesure,

As you say, they appear to have a great product catalogue, so in the event of a bid, what price would you consider to be a tempting off?

I would say most people here expect 50p to be achievable within a year, and once we're on that road the potential for further growth is considerable.

I recall a 70p bid for Ashtead being knocked back by the management about 3 years ago just ~3 months before they crashed to 2.5p. It took ~ 2 years, but they are now trading at ~220p.

Garyble - interesting analogy as our Chairman is also a Director of Ashtead.

Tony & Garyable, Good points. However, I would reckon that in the current market any would be predator could get a holding large enough to give them a very good negotiating position at well below 50p. I agree that that could represent a 'steal' but even current large holders like Howard White's family foundation might decide that certainty is worth considering; don't forget he has had a long time trying to pull off a major US deal and so far has not finalised anything.I know these things take a long time but if, as we think, the product range is as good as is said to be, it should be flying out of the door.

DAN BROWN SHOULD TAKE A LONG LOOK AT THESE BOARDS BEFORE WRITING HIS NEXT NOVEL......
nothing re this share has changed in past month other than the SP.
more than happy to continue holding.

Yeah every single fact he claims is true has since been disproved! Baldrick did a splendid program on it all last week.

I have hung on to my SEO stock for 2 years, but I now have serious doubts as to the management ability of those in charge. Undoubtedly they have the scientists engineers chemists etc, but the ability to plan their way out of a paper bag is beyond them. No further proof is needed than the Greenseal fiasco. Will they cock up Starpol 3 in the same manner? Very likely unless there is a distinct change in management ablities. We need some organisers and doers in there instead of bulshitters.

Get real would you. This stock has been over-inflated due to the over-excited. The management have thus far done very little wrong in my eyes, but will agree that we all have differing expectations. SEO were somewhat naive as they have admitted, but nothing has been abandoned or failed, so the game is very much still on.

Its laughable and predictable that at times such as these the whingers and prophets of doom come out in force.

This stock will remain volatile untill there is solid news with attached.

yip, all the way up and all the way back down again.

Guten Tag everybody.

Interesting posts by a lot of people, particularly Andysmith - thank you!

I'm interested too by Driver's point (post # 16470) that the SP "will go higher on rumour", however I'm not yet convinced. Technical troubles with the products may mean a slower take-up by the market, while potential shareholders are surely going to demand more proof of the company's performance before being as trusting with their cash as they were 18 months ago. Recovery could be a slower process than last year's spike, IMO.

Not sure quite what to think, to be honest. I still see further downside for the SP though. I seem to remember I said about a week ago that it might hit 9p by the end of the summer; I'm a little surprised we're there already, as it happens on one of the bigger one-day falls for a while, and remain convinced that this still has further to go towards around 6p. I'm thinking about buying, but only when it's gone past "cheap" and well into "dirt cheap" territory.

All IMO, WDIK, etc.

I'm afraid to say that I've sold up.

KD.

When you look at todays trades there more buys than sells yet the sp still falls, clearly indicating a overhang.

maybe it's that ex employee getting rid of his. he has certainly collected enough of the buggers over the last few years !!!!

Either that or PM1 has decided to call it a day and move on!!

PM1 was still around as of last evening as I came back to his usual mound of SEO emails. You have to admire his tenacity, if not his grasp of what is relevant info. Guess it is too much to hope that this mgt. can seal an order in the next few days?
