Simon,

It's just a more accurate measure of the mid show price, as previously for example ( as I'm sure you noticed ) if the ask was 10p with the bid 9.5p, the mid would sometimes show the ask price and other times show the bid price. So this more refined system shows a truer mid price. It sometimes shows my portfolio close in a better light, although in true monetary terms it makes not one jot of difference.

Afternoon all

Some idle musings from the umpire's chair.

I have long hoped that the share price would actually reflect what is going on in the market and agree that should be expressed as it is now. Before it was largely artificial and almost at the whims of the MM.

Web site. Yes it is a big improvement on what existed before, but it can still be better. A lot of people on this thread have argued that a web site is not an essential tool for SEOs existence.

SEO are supposedly at the cutting edge of a vast and growing transformation in the packaging industry and are hopefully trying to convince as many people as possible of the huge benefits their products will bring to their public image and their bottoms lines. They cannot see all their prospects and, therefore, a bright and informative and properly functioning web site is their shop window to their future prospects and to educate the world generally.

As to why the web site has been upgraded now is open to conjecture given that the management have said repeatedly that they have better things to do than fiddle with a web site. The fact that they have thought that this is not important in the past, IMO reflects badly on SEOs managements business nous.

It is my suspicion that the major companies in the US that they are talking nay negotiating with may have said that they need to have a better web site. Without it SEO to me appears to be a two bit company with little awareness as to the importance of corporate image and brand development and management. I know some will disagree with me, but in defence of my opinion, look at the major business to business companies who are very strong in this area.

This brings me to another point. Take a close look at Stanelcos corporate logo. If you did not know what the word "S T A N E L C O" said, would you, in a split second glance, be able to decipher what the name says? NO! As examples, look at the logos of First Direct, M&S and Orange. SEO's logo looks as though a plumber has welded a few bits of pipe together and then placed the letters too close together. It looks like a bit of out of date art deco design!

Sorry to go on about this, but how does the corporate logo convey anything to anyone about what the company does? Cant they change it so that it reflects SEOs business of protecting the environment, a mainstream issue all around the world?

I am wearing a bullet proof vest against the firepower of those who strongly disagree with opinions above. Hopefully some will agree well with me on at least one or two points above.

Finally, my thought on why the Interims appear to have been delayed by a day. Surely it is because they are signing a major deal with a major company on Thursday and wish to announce it with the Interims?!?!

The oily one

PS Football A house in the Sahara desert has got more chance of being hit by an iceberg than England have of winning the World Cup if they continue to dish up the rubbish they have up until now. I think that they are scared of success. Lets hope, and I do, that Im wrong. And SGE is as passionate and demonstrative and a garden gnome on mogadom. A touch of the Stuart Pearce wouldn't go amiss. He seems totally incapable of directing the strategy on the field as most managers do as a one year old is of conducting an orchestra in Wagner's Ring.

Oilywag,

Fully agree. Although the quality of a companies products are their most vital asset, image can be almost as important, especially early on. As you say, a web site is the modern shop window to the world.

There it is again 16.38/39 another large buy. Same time for the past 3 nights.

oooooo.

It looks like those punters who were in for a quick buck have now gone. Trade numbers have been low over the last few weeks, indicating to me that most of those left are steady and static with their SEO shares.
Will be very interesting to see if there is a flurry of activity pre close due to the interims tomorrow.

interesting write up in shares mag today

Well, less than 20 hours before we get to find out where we're going with this!

If this is a leaky company as many have said, then I'd assume from the sp movement and trades that either the interims are relatively neutral or the company is not as leaky as some think.

I certainly hope to see:
1: Statement of the first commercial GS placement
2: Progress/deal with wrap 100
3: progress with WM
4: Statement on ASDA exclusivity {extension or termination}
5: Biotec capcaity improvement
6: Starpol sales volumes {current and anticipated}

These should hopefully all be positives.

Robinhood,

What was the gist of the shares mag commentary?

garble - A 5th of Shares Mag readers own SEO shares.
The jury is still out over whether SEO will rally and make a good investment. Future looks exciting, with you know who interested.
Greenseal way behind schedule.
Prob be 2008 before SEO see profit.
At mo it is intriguing 84 mil prospect and could yet prove a ten-bagger.

Like me, hang on in there !!!!!! sweat it out lol

P.S. Can't all go pear shaped ! Can it ?????

Dave

Garyble: sharesmag: "jury still out if a good investment-greenseal packaging behind schedule-prospects exciting with mcdonalds apparantly keen- no profits till 2008 but has prospects of a ten bagger

Dave,

Thanks for the update.

I will certainly be holding unless any significant bad news materialises. Delays are inevitable.

The product range seems exciting enough and the potential is there so is certainly worth the wait.

.

Thanks Robinhood.

Buy in june 2007 and you will only have to wait 6 months for profits, and in the mean time you can invest your money in JKX or AFR.

But if within next few weeks/months the expected news comes in you will be buying at a very heavy premium to todays price. Not saying your wrong, as it is an if. Also I feel that with any future profit forecast, those that do the forecasting always tread on the side of caution. If SEO go into profit sooner than June 2007 no one turns to the forecaster and has a go, whereas if profits don't materialize till say 2 months later than the forecast date, it does not look good for the said analyst. It's the same with forecasts of the sp. If they are out by say, 20% but under forecast, no problem, everyone is happy. If they are out by 10% ( IE more accurate ) but over forecast, they receive the brickbats. That's the way of the human phyci.

Greekman

Apologies in advance.

"Phyci" should be psychi.

Here's hoping that the news is good tomorrow.
