Oh I'll do smug very well, Oily, if I'm right.
Based on the timescales of every bit of news that ever came out of SEO, though, the real test is seeing which September I'm thinking of ;-)
But hey, what the hell. If I'm wrong, so what, its only a guess. if I'm right I can probably start my own religion!!! Not bad odds.
Alan

One other thing. Every time that site that Aldwickk posted yesterday, every time Shares Mag, every time IC posted a buy on SEO, it plummeted. I am very happy to read them all posting sells.

Sharesure,

I don't disagree with you. My comment "If SEO don't get a contract of any note soon, they could go under". Soon would be within 3 to 4 months.

tony hes got the name of the mag wrong there all on page 50 of todays shares i posted a paragraph from the piece earlier.

WD. hang on and see.
Like alan says, i think one way or other sept will be a crunch month- expect asda will launch something, also expect news from u.s.
it's your own money -so do as you see fit.
all the best

I still hold

Me too - still have just under 2m shares - and starting to regret not taking action sooner.

I think shit or bust now - either way I loose too much if I sell now so might as well hold on and hope that there is a recovery underway

I had a look at stanelco devisland.
i appreciate that he may have ramped this share to death, but the research links are helpfull.
I noticed the forums on his own site have been locked down?
I think this is a bit cultish. Whilst I appreciate he came in for a lot of stick re this share. i think it's a bit much to put up a wall and gather your flock in a cave.
Am i the only one who finds this strange , or is their a reasonalbe explanation, that i've missed?
anyway, thanks for all the comments, I could'nt resist dipping in today. will hold off ,buying more till sept as suggested. thaNKS

who still long on SEO?'
im still holding

Relax Tony - just got the name wrong. Agree with Alan re share tips anyway (pro or con) but then that didn't stop the bullishness when rhps and shares mag were recommending these in the 20s. And that goes for EVO buy notes too. Alan's summary seems about right too - on the surface bust but who knows, that 'info' might just come good in mid September.

As most people still holding shares will inevitably be holding paper losses nobody can advise what to do now, it depends on the individual and how deep the shit is.
As for buying, topping up etc, IMO, I would wait for the fundraising, they will only get the cash or backing IF they can provide solid foundations that they are very close to a substantial deal that will provide profitable revenues. If that is the case it should be worth a dabble as there are many examples of companies who aimed too high too soon & end up in deep shit but eventually come through and SEO could be another as the potential is still there for Starpol & Wrap, it just needs delivering. The problem that I see is that even if they get deals/orders they need JV's to manufacture the products and maybe, just maybe this is where the saviours of SEO are, companies who could also profit from manufacturing products using SEO's IP??? and such companies will be in even stronger positions to negotiate now that it is public knowledge how skint SEO are but maybe that is why they went public, to speed up any negotiations before they go the wall.
How much money will they need? Institutions probably won't get involved so its down to the faithful public to rescue their baby (if there is enough time) or a partner who can exploit SEO's perilous position and cream off a larger share of potential profits than they would have if SEO's management had been more experienced, realistic and focussed in their aspirations.

Don't forget little ol' me, I'm still well in.

me too

still holding

mark.

Oily's still in deep

The oily one

lts a long time since i was a holder and over a 1000 posts ago so l not as up to date as most on this thread : a thread which has among its number many errudite,learned individuals....l apologise. ..Looking at the company fundementally it looks fiscally dire.{ which is self apparent.}. From a chartists vantage point even more dire . Yet at this level i see it as utterly pointless in selling. Returns would be derisory for those who bought even as low as 5p let alone 20p .But you cant ignore the mechanics of a market and today selling outstipped buying by a ratio of 4~ 1 so mms lowered the offer price ato encourage buying and yet selling continued unabated. l thought it was never going to stop. .............l suspect tommorow { Friday } will see more of today ............................................................................. Like ARX before it ,and CDN before that, SEO has proven juste how divorced the s/p can be from the companies true market valuation as a consequence of ramping ,inept research, flagrant ignorance, and mind games played by mms . For those who held at the 26-30p level and didnt sell ignored EVERY basic rule in the book. SSSSHHHH , The stock was sitting on a spike so vertical it was frightening ! and many rational, SANE,reasonable men from this thread planned a dinner when the stock hit 50p ...... ,,,This isnt a case of "l told you so " as i hate seeing people lose monies . lts a case of dont be so bloody greedy next time, and ALWAYS play the percentages !! At best this stock is in for a rocky ride and a definite begging bowl job and @ no higher than 2p causing not only a dilution but massive overhang of stock.....millions @2p....and years among the bargain basement junk stocks....At worst .Temporary Admistration giving it breathing space to sort out affairs . . ..@+ J

It is possible that the sp has now bottomed out, but nothing can be certain.
SEOs position is best described from 4 angles:-

Angle 1.The company discovered a new, groundbreaking way of making food packaging in an all round green way and got very excited about it; with a world wide drive for biodegradable stuff and a general clean up of the environment they thought that they would just have to click their fingers and packing companies would come running to their door.......oh dear, wrong!

Angle 2. From the packing companies point of view:- Mmm nice new technology, it would be good to have a machine and packing material which will conform with environmentally friendly ideals BUT, at the moment we are not required by our Government to use this stuff, the time will probably come when we will have to comply but for the moment we will stick to what we have. Why should we give up time, therefore money, to test new machinery/technology when what we have works fine?

Angle 3, the Supermarkets, desperate to improve on a tarnished image, definitely want to be seen as forerunners in the drive for green techno, saviours of the earth etc. etc. OK there are dozens, or more, packaging alternatives available to them but Stanelco have the best overall package; unproved but highly promising. Asda take the plunge and back SEO, the others sit on the fence to see what happens. Asda persuade a couple of packers to try out Greenseal, which is mediocre at first and problems occur but there is potential. If Asda , and by now their parent Walmart who have okd the association with SEO, had even a slight doubt that SEO could eventually deliver then surely, they would have dumped them?

So where does this leave us? We have the technology, we now have a machine that has been modified, put a few new bits on and actually works. Speed could be an issue but should not be a terminal problem, R&D will be working on that and there should be a solution IF required. We have a machine working flat out in testing and production which will in all probability decide the future for Greenseal; if it works in the way it is hoped, it will become a permanent fixture at the packaging firm using it. If the public also like what they are picking up off the shelves then, bingo! SEO have a winner. Provided this first successful stage is reached orders for Greenseal will start to flow, I would expect slowly at first; I have no doubt that the fence- sitting Supermarkets will take notice and then it will not be long before the majority of pack houses will have to look to Greenseal for their own futures.

Angle 4. Starpol and Wrap 100, a possible scenario:- Perseco persuade McDonalds to trial Starpol and Wrap 100, McD love it BUT they have binding contracts with other packaging companies and until the contracts expire they cannot get out of them unless they hand over large amounts of cash in compensation; why do that when they can wait a bit - just sign a letter of intent and sit back happy in the knowledge that SEO will supply what they need, when they need it.

Ultra violet packing has been mentioned but apparently there are health concerns involved with the technology so I do not see that as a threat. From what I see SEO have the best packaging solution: let's hope they can make it work.

All that has given me a headache so I'm going to bed!

Kim,

Nicely summed up.

The Stanelco Web Site.
The product link to Biodegradable Airbag Packaging is still showing....

This page is in the process of being updated.
Check back soon for full product details.

This message first appeared over 2 weeks ago.
How long does it take to update one page. They are either very incompetent, or something is causing them to delay the update.
What impression does this send out to potential customers.

pity us small investors who dont understand the finer workings of shares viz the erudites on this site. I return to my previous comments - as a layman in essence what has changed about this company and its products?
ps the website team may be on holiday... :-)
