Loss making company, cheap sp, struggling to create revenue, patients plenty, and lots of potential, in discussion with some very big players..... Actully I think there are plenty of companies that may be intrested in a takeover or aquiring a good percentage of shares. It really all depends on immediate cash injection, its what all shareholders want and the rewards for such a player could well be very high. Lets not forget a partner in manufacturing and distribution could well speed up taking products to market and give SEO a needed cash injection for a % royalty in a product.

Kim, I sincerely hope that SEO are on the verge of making a breakthrough and yes they do have considerable potential. But at the moment potential does not create revenue, which is what they need, becuase if they don't get a move on they will be back to the Market for another top up in about 6-12 months time. There is a history of companies with breakthrough products that never quite got there, despite lots of hype and promise. I am not knocking SEO as such, but I am taking a pragmatic approach to their prospects based on the lack of success thus far. As is the way with many multi-bagger, over-hyped stocks SEO is now probably very much a long termer to reach the previous dizzy SP heights of 30p. It will take at least a year for the much vaunted 200 ASDA conversions to be completed, if indeed they ever are. Thankfully they have other products to create the required revenue.
Explosive, so why arn't these 'interested' companies snapping up SEO stock at the bargain price of 8p?
Possibly because the company is not worth 8p per share?
Believe me I will be a very happy bunny if the SP rockets, but there seems to be a lot of grasping of straws within this thread. Just about every possible avenue of using SEO's products / patents was explored during the reign of Paul Masterton and now it seems we are going around the whole thing again. Good grief!
Anyway, good luck.

ptholden - Or maybe there as keen as we are to see more than one Greenseal machine installed contract signed for goods or services. After all if such a company was to be looking at SEO for a % royalty there going to need to know how much capital investment is required in the first instance.

SEO have already signed a contract with an American engineering firm for greenseal rollout if I remember correctly. Not sure if the contract is still valid now though with all the delays.....

The prevalent opinion appears to be, as well expressed by Kim, that Interims will be make or break time. May be, but I suggest that they may be yet another anti-climax. Decent progress on discussions, perhaps a non-committal trial here and there, a little bit of cash actually being paid for a GREENSEAL installation. But nothing to get the sp moving. Nice support level at 8.1p because funds have recently been raised at that price and these funds will be looking for a return in a year or two, not immediately: surely that is the basis on which SEO will have raised the funds. 18 months ago SEO were trading at 6p; quite reasonable progress in the interim so an 8p price is in the right ball-park. No need to regress back to 6p. What is needed to get forward movement? Obviously the ability to project some positive revenues which are commensurate with the current cap. I suspect we are a few months away from having confidence in such projections.

For Oilywag
I am not inflated with my own self importance. You asked for questions to be put at the AGM, to which I replied. You attended the AGM, and never reported back despite my requests. I note the threat. It takes me back to the bootroom at boarding school.

Amazing what a difference a director buy will make; Peter Leyland, director of ZiMedical, bought 200000k in ZIM on Friday (5,200) and the sp goes up 37%. If only SEO's directors would do the same; maybe after the Interims??!

Eric,
'What is needed to get forward movement?'
The simple answer to that is:- A sound indication of decent future income streams.
You have recently seemed to adopt the opinion that this is long term. It already has been a long term investment and long term cannot mean forever!
We're told the Greenseal technical problems have been solved. We know Starpol and Wrap 100 have approval. We know SEO are involved in TALKS with Perseco, ASDA and WM amongst others.
There is now no reason for this investment to be considered long term . If SEO are going to generate decent income they are in the best position to do so now - another year wont improve that.
If it doesn't happen very quickly (i.e. firm contracts and good future income stream projections) this company will sink like a stone. We need to see the PRESENT situation turned into money.
Going quiet on a product, putting it on the back burner and then introducing a new product that Howard is 'very excited about' will not work forever. They've done well to last 3 years doing just that. I can hear chickens!

oblomov,
"If it doesn't happen very quickly (i.e. firm contracts and good future income stream projections) this company will sink like a stone."
isn't going from 30p to 8p a bit like sinking?
as for whether seo are a leaky company, take a look at the chart. before every spike , (good news), there is a significant dip in the sp and increase in volume. surely this can only be manipulation. people knew something was coming.

Agree re 'leakyness' Bos - and this is indicative of an unprofessional managment team, IMO, particularly when they choose to ignore evidence of a leak presented to them by an investor and to ignore that investors emails.
If they take a blase attitude to leaks what else are they taking a blase attitude to?
RE sinking like a stone - I wasn't referring to the SP - I was referring to the companies solvency.

oblo: I was not intending to give the impression that I had changed to a long term view but I was trying to respond to a very natural short-termism by some on this thread. Two months is really very short-term and it is only two months since we had a pretty comprehensive coverage of their current negotiations. Given the size of the companies that they are dealing with and the potentially complex negotiations then we should not be alarmed if we still do not have firm contracts in place. Yes, there should be visible progress, but this does not mean that we will be in a position to lay down firm revenue forecasts.

Just curious as to why the sp has suddenly become so PRECISE - 0.03... 0.06 and so forth recently - any thoughts on this?

I realised why I had failed to recieve the previous mail, it was simply due to my incompetence, I had mis-typed my address.

I do not know what the outcome is for Stanelco and I fervently hope the end result is favourable. All I can say this Thread has more entertainment value than Coronation Street. More suspense than Agatha Christie and more technical terms than Star Wars.
