Talking of AIM charts, did you know the AIM is presently at the same value it was in 1996 ! The FTSE-100 is up 60% in 10 years, the AIM is level with no gain.
Take a comparison of 10 year FTSE 100 and 10 year AIM :

The AIM market tends to move up sharply as the FTSE-100 becomes fully valued, with the FTSE-100 possibly reaching a level off period, it could be the time for the AIM market to get some serious funds put in, before a market crash in a couple of years time..........could be some serious money to be made in the coming 2 or 3 years......who knows.

Thanks for that Driver.
I think the article's comments are fair. As the article says that Starpol has been selling well in the US, I would love to know who the customers are.
A lot now depends are what is said at the end of the ASDA trial with Greenseal. Lets hope that they don't delay that much past the 27th July.
At the least I am expecting (and hoping) that they will announce that they have firm orders at least 50-80 Greenseal installations. Without that and/or progress on other product orders, I am afraid the market will be peed off and a lot of the blues over the past few days will become reds.

Alan, much enjoyed reading the invention posts, a breath of fresh air to the consistant SER record replaying like a teenager whos just seen top gun for the very first time.
Now I've been looking at some inventers to compete, Issambard Kingdon Brunel always stands out but as an engineer rather than inventer. Anyway I have unearthed a female inventer by the name of Sonette Ehlers from South Africa....
Now I am aware that and I expect no-body has ever heard of her. However I thought she seam worthy of the note as her invention may not be a famous one at present, but could well be in years to come....
"Dubbed the "rape trap", trademarked "Rapex", the condom-like device bristling with internal hooks designed to snare rapists has re-ignited controversy over South Africa's alarming rape rate, even before plans for its production were announced in Western Cape this week."
Intrested heres the link http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/controversy-in-south-africa-over-device-to-snare-rapists/2005/09/01/1125302683893.html?oneclick=true
Now I'm sure this will get a few comments, mixed feelings etc. !! Ouch!

Explosive,
She first discovered the invention by accident after her husband announced an interest in S&M and she made him a birthday present by sewing fish hooks in his underpants.
Don't know if thats true. i just made it up, but its a lovely thought.

without ramping this too much the hargreaves report seems spot on to me and looks moderately good. turnover up 316% in 1st six mnths "As yet, though, there's been little in the way of real commercial success and investors may want to see more progress before taking a punt. Fairly priced."

Agree.
The Hargreaves report said what a lot of the less extreme posters on here have been saying for some time, so credit goes to those posters. It will be interesting now to see how the market reacts to the end of exclusivity, and any announcement that may acoompany it.

Must be a link Asda/Seo. If not the time scale would have to be delayed as other companies products would have to be trialed and tested.

Asda launches zero waste to landfill target
Supermarket to redesign own label packs to cut waste
Asda is to stop sending any waste produced by its 307 food stores to landfill sites, it has announced today.
The commitment means that by 2010 everything Asda disposes of at the back of its stores will be recycled, reused or composted instead of being sent to landfill.
In addition, all its Asda brand products will be redesigned over the next 18 months, with the aim of reducing the weight and volume of packaging by at least 10%.
For full article see link.

Many more are jumping onto the environmental band wagon.
San Francisco is expected to ban Styrofoam food packaging later this summer.
Santa Monica could soon ban the use of non-recyclable packaging for takeout food.
Calabasas may ban polystyrene.
Berkeley, Huntington Beach, Malibu, Newport Beach and Portland (OR) Baltimore, Maryland, are also considering similar bans.
No wonder Walmart, McDonalds and the like are looking at the issue

Greekman.
Thanks. Interesting find. It makes my mind run - hopefully along the path to come.
Here is it in ASDA colours :-

I find the article a little worrying in that while laying out its 'green' credentials ASDA makes no mention of Greenseal or Starpol (I wouldn't expect them mentioned specifically as no deals signed, but I would expect a general mention of 'greener' packaging to come - if it were imminenet, or a delay in the press release to include it).
Admittedly the press release deals predominantly with ASDA's on-site wastage and recycling, but the 'Notes for editors' covers a broader spectrum - shouldn't we have seen something along the lines of 'delivering biodegradable packaging to customers to reduce the effect on land-fill sites'?

Saw something on the box last night about supermarkets taking things from the shelves at the display untill date and giving them to a charity. Apparantly, up till now, the food equivalent of 13.8 billion apples are thrown away every year.
There was a brief interview with the usual green campaigner who did mention the drive to cut down on packaging and reduce fossil fuel consumption in the packaging and delivery.
Didn't concentrate too much on the interview cos i was still calculating the amount of potential cider thrown away in 13.8 billion apples.

@ 10 apples to a pint, thats a lot of hangovers, Alan.
1.38 billion pints, 5 pints per hangover = 276 million hangovers or approx. 6.13 hangovers for everyone over 18 in the UK!
Personally, I'd rather we continued to throw the food away - I dont think I could cope with the extra hangovers, current levels being high enough.

OB,
Re your 'delivering biodegradable packaging to customers to reduce the effect on land-fill sites'?
There have been several articles re ASDA and their green policies over the last couple of days. Some of them have gone along the lines of biodegradable packaging, although the main theme was relating to all aspects of Green Issues.
I just hope the end date for the extended exclusivity, brings some news (obviously hopefully good) otherwise the familiar posts re SEO's PR dept will no doubt take over the thread, with some justification.
No news is good news, in this case, will not give that impression.
