Nnjoy yor travails, i cood sea u hve jusst gradyouated cos yuo carnt speel!Buy a few before you go, see if you can't push the price up for us old buoys.

Tempted to further invest myself against my better judgement.... Very cheap and so much potential. Don't agree with WM carrying SEO through their financial difficulties. Having said this WM could easily buy SEO with is spare change, bring greenseal into full production and then claim the glory of environmentally friendly super market responding to global demand!! Nah don't think so...

This is a post I have just made of FYB in response to someone making the same suggestion about WalMart or ASDA buying SEO.

Hi mbamick

Because Wallmart and ASDA are supermarkets and sell to retail consumers.

They are not business to business merchants which is what they would become - if they acquired SEO and had to market its products to its competitors.

Admittedly, some would say that would give them the edge over their competitors, but I repeat supermarkets tend to stick to their core competencies.

SEO would be a distraction for them.

And finally if things come to pass in the very future, as I believe they will, the SEO's price will rocket because of its potential and any buyer will have to pay for that potential.

I could drone on for hours on this subject, but fear it bore the hell out of everyone, except for the accountants.

The oily one

PS Besides, Howard White's trust own a lot of shares and he would be very hard to convince to sell given the companies prospects.

explosive - 31 Aug 2006 19:15 - 19525 of 27111

There was a time oily when supermarkets only sold food, not computers, car parts, mountain bikes, clothes etc....... Get the point it all comes under the retail catchment but there are also offerings such as credit cards, insurance and loans on offer too.... Gone is the day where supermarkets stuck to selling products as we've seen they have been entering the service sector for some time now. Maybe SEO would do well to apply for a Asda loan!! Ching, ching!!

Oilywag - 31 Aug 2006 19:22 - 19526 of 27111

Yea, but Explosive, all those products you mentioned are being sold to retail customers. None are being sold to other businesses.

Its called retailing!!!

I've always been enthusiastic, and I still have all my buys, from 5 to 22, but talk of further trials is really getting me down. We'll be having talks about talks about trialling trials soon. For God's sake, can't we sell something?. I feel like we're back to square one. Re-assure me somebody!

bhunt1910 - 01 Sep 2006 00:02 - 19528 of 27111

perhaps the trials are for another supermarket !!!!

greekman - 01 Sep 2006 07:32 - 19529 of 27111

Bhunt1910,

I agree with you. That is how I read it, although the article release was confusing.

hewittalan6 - 01 Sep 2006 07:50 - 19530 of 27111

And perhaps we were too harsh on SEO over being a tad optimistic. My Asda source (remember that imaginary friend) told me the goods would hit the shops in early September, and he really should know exactly when. Now Asda are saying over the next 2 months. So maybe it was Asda who were in too much of a rush and too optimistic all along!!
Anyway. It still looks good to me.

aldwickk - 01 Sep 2006 07:54 - 19531 of 27111

Everything about SEO is confusing. Why don't you all get together and send a joint email to SEO for some straight answers instead of spending all your time speculating amongst yourselves.

hewittalan6 - 01 Sep 2006 08:02 - 19532 of 27111

Who says we haven't???

driver - 01 Sep 2006 08:13 - 19533 of 27111

aldwickk
I agree, Im still holding but the situation is so confusing I cant be bothered to post any more basically all we need is orders and plenty of them, until that happens I will concentrate my thoughts elsewhere to save myself a headache.

Mad Pad - 01 Sep 2006 08:17 - 19534 of 27111

Just spoke to the journalist re the 1st paragraph of his article and he confirms this is what he was told by Stanelco on Wednesday.The para. reads"UK based Stanelco will begin testing the use of its radio frequency technology heat sealing method with a food packaging company within the next two months,according to a company spokesperson."He also said to me that for a PLC they were unusually tight with information .

greekman - 01 Sep 2006 08:22 - 19535 of 27111

Mad Pad,

Thanks for that. As to SEO being tight with info, I would sooner that than the continual badly worded, often misleading releases.
Good job they are not a PR company, they wouldn't last a week.

hewittalan6 - 01 Sep 2006 08:23 - 19536 of 27111

Perhaps because of the shit thrown at them over previous press releases.
With hindsight the picture has a different look to it (doesn't it always).
Asda wanted GS straight away and signed up to have it promising lots of conversions. They did this without realising the complexities involved in multi production and changing the machines. This led to delays for which SEO took the stick.
Asda tried to muscle the packagers into what they want but it was simply impossible. SEO adapted, changed and altered GS to try and fit with it all. Now it all works Asda have had to relinquish exclusivity to get what they wanted all along. SEO have had their fingers burned by making promises that depend on other companies delivering and are saying nowt now.
Thats my simplistic view, anyway.

aldwickk - 01 Sep 2006 09:05 - 19537 of 27111

' with a food packaging company within the next two months ' thats not going to help their cash burn problem, they have less then 3 months cash left.

robinhood - 01 Sep 2006 10:46 - 19538 of 27111

time to top up again- and this time I do not want to get stopped out

Mad Pad - 01 Sep 2006 12:32 - 19539 of 27111

Topped up with another 150,000.

Tonyrelaxes - 01 Sep 2006 12:38 - 19540 of 27111

Pad (not so mad!)
Good move - IMO

Tonyrelaxes - 01 Sep 2006 12:59 - 19541 of 27111
