I think 1910 Won That.

Thank you driver, i did know the full answer but was offering that as a clue to those that wished to keep trying.

Would it be safe to assume that the 2 500k trades @ 15 were buys? assuming that these were ordinary trades as stated it would be hard to see anyone giving that as a sell price given todays movement. Maybe the house broker selling some of the placement at a profit? Institutional buyer?

Thanks Driver - but I would not have got it without the boiled eggs clue from planttec - so I concede

Very strong buys at the end of the day I predict a blue day tomorrow with a bit of white round the edges.

all buyers coming in late afternoon. buys outweigh sells. bit of a pattern emerging as this has happened a few times. are people day trading seo, selling in the morning if it rises and buying back late afternoon when it has dropped? difficult to say what the 2x500k@15p were, planttec. if it is part of the placing then its a fair old profit. but it makes no sense to sell when a price busting rns could be just round the corner.
good qoute driver. i didnt get it 'til plantec gave a slight clue. good film.

hope it is a blue day tomorrow . all i can see is white at the moment. snow is really coming down here, now.

All the snow disappearred here in Surrey under the sun & blue skies - shame the board was not blue as well - but there is always tomorrow.

The sun'll come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar

just been reading a few threads and you pop up quite a lot , sd. i have to say you sound really chipper, happy and tail waggingly full of glee at the moment. you must be raking it in.

A gain's not a profit till it's taken, bosley, and all that, but yes I am having fun thank you - beginner's luck.

Being the puppy I am, I just saw the pond and jumped in and am having a jolly good splash about in 27 stocks as I count - lots of oils, anything bio, gold (it's day will come again!) financials, mining, medical (come on Deltex!) and of course ASC. Pastures new beckoned recently with an Oz pharma and Russian property. Plus some good old core investment trust, a house builder and a food manufacturer (I used to think Sudan 1 was a football score!) Got to be right with one of them!

Apart from DMYOR and taking a few tip sheets to get me started with ideas, I've also benefited enormously from the camaraderie of the MAM boards. So, thanks to everyone for making me wealthier than I was before I met you. I hope I can return the favour, although many of you may have missed the initial opportunity of DOO which I think I first pointed out some weeks ago - now stratospheric heading for n-bagger status. Better luck with PSG and PGI.

Woof woof

wrt to cool hand luke.....back in 1978 (i think ) it was on tv. a great talking point , the 50 boiled eggs. a clerical assistant said he could eat 50 cadbury cream eggs. what a lunchtime THAT WAS. he ate 23 before nature took its course. i can see his face but cant recall the name. however, MUCH RESPECT ( i cant eat two without feeling sick ).

Enjoyable read today. Not a lot of action - I expect the city guys from Sunnigndale didn't like the snow. I remember the day they all stayed at home during the 1987 storm and the market went through the floor. At least today was just a gentle slide, and even SEO joined in, wanting to be matey, even though buys outweighed sells - 1.5 million in the last few mintes including those query ones - definitely buys in my book. Not sure it will move much this week as people aren't expecting much from the prelims, waiting rather for ASOS. Better than waiting for Godot; he never came, not even in two months - I think it ran for much longer than that. Still feeling contented although I kept off the Rioja tonight; if I hadn't broken the trend, the case would have gone in 12 nights! Happy with 16p tomorrow; need to keep the powder dry.

Amities/ Bonne matins . Volume down considerably today .{ Tuesday } . Not alarmingly: but considerably. lrksome trend. From 20m+ stock traded p/d following announcement of results of Asda trialing a couple of weeks ago, to no more than to 10m p/d last week ,to less than 5m traded today . ( Still perhaps perfectly accreditable to the ease of market digestion of placement coupled with the initial euphoria wearing a tad thin as always accompanies such sceanarios. .But still discerning and relavent to percentage overweight players like myself. To stalwart long term holders with positions in the 4p to 6p parameter this contribution is of very little consequence methinks; but to high volume holders like myself with 700,000 cauught in a basket price of between 7.5 and 8.75p it is a trend i will be watching carefully. Lets face it: Thus far we have had it all our own way . News has been both frequent and positive .And constant. But if , and when , volumes fall mms tend to fret and attempt to maintain volumes on the back of a more challenging spread . Personally very gauling and unneccassary for me considering i originally held 200k+ at 4.75 ; but sold on the initial breakout @ 6.75 being the % man i am . .To be perfectly bloody candid i would have been MORE than happy when i bought on the second and third occassions to have banked 17p on the entire holding and walked away . 100% profit .700,000 x 8p is not to be sneezed at. By anyone . Deal done . Left the arena..ln excess of 80% of my holdings are in oil and gas plays/ alternative energies and a small but solid bunch of mining outfits.-from diamondiferous sourcing to both ferrrous and non ferrous metals inc. gold .silver,copper zinc ,cobalt,and platinum right through to coal And to that end i recently sold 200,000 into strength in two tranches @ much that level .(17p) Retained 500,000 because as things stand- my FUNDEMENTAL opinion on the company has not changed a jot .Whilst l am not totally convinced of a new trading pattern of 17p - 14p having been consolidated let alone formed, i do not share the sentiments of Filthy Poor who seems to think SEO will retrace to the 6p level ( although that conclusion is not hard to reach when viewed from a certain economic perspective so who can blame him ? . But it dismisses to many crystal clear variables. . There is juste too much good news already in the pipeline for that to occur.But he raises one very moot point to my mind . Now although the more serious holders in this stock among you have stated with great repititon of your having equated into your respective research the fiscal implications and ramifications of this damn c/c with BPRG and are quite happy with state of play, l personally cant dismiss it as a mere irrelavence. l apologise in anticipation but for me it goes a long way to understanding the dearth of institutional players yet to enter the trials ( joust ) With such a revolutionary technology i would have expected some buyers in the multiples of millions . i derive no satisfaction from saying this ; but one cant bury ones head in the sand and pretend its not there. l suspect many of you you underestimate legal costs. l did. l am as guilty as the next man . What with High court time costed at almost 10k per hour . An army of specialist senior Q.C counsel who all demand the highest fees what with operating in such a specialist field of law; as do their instructing solicitors . A branch of the law , in which a friend of mine , called a complicated labyrinth of vagaries and contradictions . and whose constituients require wide in depth scientific knowledge of a vast array of obscure subjects .. A bit of a polymath if you like . Such services do not come cheap ( up to 3,000 per hour ) ....and lets not forget it was a bloody protracted affair . .BUT is ONLY with this in mind if ACCOMPANIED by declining volumes that concern me . Everything else reg. the company is exitiing and exhilerating . And once that c/c is finally concluded the emergence and noise of the big guns will mainifest the battlefield as if from nowhere .Of that i am convinced . But short term it is a truism that paper profits do not equate to banked money; and i suspect if low volumes continue at such a rate and with no fresh news mms will start to force the issue a little . And the tree will be shook if need be. . A few nervous holders { and i fear there are many lurking out there } will bend like a reed in a gale and do the very thing they shouldnt ,,,and sell ! . But in saying that everyone knows their financial circumstances best.And there is not a worse feeling than having bought on whim or while caught up in a frenzy bourne of bullish optimism . On a contrasting note i strongly believe long term holders are sitting pretty .Perhaps more than pretty. Traders make no secret they like and desire this stock; but have been forced to exercise patience as a result of a plethora of small astute players having got thier foot in the door before them . Now as always they exercise patience. .They want it a little cheaper .lts as simple as that for me .My ultra cautious boss whose cv includes specializing in Ofex and unquoted companies for many yers rates SEO most highly; but wont pay more than 10p . Never. Question being : Will Mr Market afford him that chance ? Now theres the rub . . ....Bonne chance / a'bientot ... sois sages ,,,@+ J

morning all. tfc, good point , well put.some people have over estimated legal costs and damages, some have underestimated. truth is no one knows for sure. we start the day red.if it continues then its a good buying opp, nothing has changed.

Whats the chance that SEO will settle out of court? al'a Aerobox/Watermark.

Well SNOW settled in the street last night - so anything's possible.

Good - a buying spree has just started - buys = sells (well almost !)

I have just topped up again Can't see the reason for the price to drop apart from the Ftse being poor???
