On BBC breakfast, this am the big talk on the stock exchange appears to be the supermarket war thats on the way between the big players. It appears the new rules re waste disposal of packaging will be using the carrot and the stick to reduce said waste. Fines will be imposed on those who do not cut waste, and presumably the carrot will be financial incentives to those that do. The government is insisting that targets are met.
The main talk was the carrier bag issue, with both Tesco and Asda mentioned.
As well as the life carrier bag (Tesco) and the extra points system for those that re-use, Biodegradable was also mentioned a couple of times, although nothing specific.
IMHO I think the forthcoming green war between the supermarkets will be a far bigger issue that the many price wars we have experience over the last few years.
Green is the way forward. Bring it on.

Still holding in and expect these to go blue for my portfolio before long. Bought all the way from 4p to 20p , wish i had sold and was repurchasing now as the story is still one of massive potential.
The constant question nagging me since the price fall is why are the Directors not buying shedloads of these at 4p - or are there some rules preventing this, "insider dealing" if they are aware of price sensitive information soon to be released?

Worrier,
As there are probable (not possible) deals being discussed, and with any director obviously being more aware of the situation than we are, I feel if they buy/sell insider dealing issues would be raised. For several months now, Directors and the like would be privy to 'how things are progressing'.
Also I presume from previous releases from SEO most if not all Directors would have been granted options. If they have they would be waiting a rise in the sp (as presumably most if not all of the options were issued at a higher price than the present sp) before exercising the said options.
Not been following the Directors options re SEO as much as I should, ie not kept records. Perhaps someone can expand on this.
Even directors have limited amounts of cash.

How many months of money left? Will SEO find funding with a further 10mil placement? Mmmmm I think its a very good possibility. Sp will fall lower if another placement happens so for me better buying prices to come!!!

Greek,
I believe it would be more advantageous to exercise at or below option price.

garyble,
Not really. If you exercise the option below the option price you loose money.
For example, you have an option at 1 and the sp is 90p you would be better off using your cash to buy the shares on the open market.
If the sp reaches 1.50p you would be better off exercising the option.
Note... Usually certain of facts I post but had a bottle of vino, so can someone either confirm or contradict, seeing double, going to bed).

Be careful how many wives or girl friends you have in bed.
Or make sure you have a good excuse.
Or at least had a medical before you understake the arduous duty/ies.

If you have an option at 5p why would you want to exercise the option at below that price? The whole idea in subscribing for options is that there is a possibilty that the SP rises so that you can exercise at a profit. If the SP reaches 10p for example, you have made 5p profit per share.

Pth,
Cheers looks like you agree with me, so the wine did not cloud my tiny brain too much.
Fred1,
If I get chance will remember your words of wisdom.
Away now for 2 weeks. Keep an eye on SEO for me. Hopefully a higher sp when I return.
Cheers Greekman.

Todays FT,entire page on supermarkets and sustainability.A few points .Marks and Spencer" looking into biodegradble wrapping on sandwich packs".Sainsburys "Testing fully compostable GM-free wrap on organic apples and potatoes".Anyone know what the biodegradeable wrapping might be and "the GM-free wrap"confirms what my contact at Sainsburys said about them having a GM free policy.No mention of SEO starpol or greenseal.

MP,
Could still be GS and Starpol. These can both be described as GM free. It is the crops they come from that are GM, the product is GM free. Further SEO have had discussions in the past with Sainsburys and if memory serves me correctly, M&S have been mentioned before as well, though I cannot recall in what context.
