If you are going to use "IMHO" could you please tell me what the "H" is for?
It is certainly not "humble"; you don't know the meaning of the word. And it is certainly not "honest"; every you've posted in the last few days has been lies, so what does the "H" stand for?
Do you honestly think that anyone is going to believe a word you say? Yea, so why post?

oily one...the stockmarket is one big sham...so why take it seriously?
Some quotes of wisdom from johnny rotten:
"I think national pride leads to nothing but wars and hates."
On the royal family: "my father worked very hard and had a lot of tax taken off to support what I'd seen as a bunch of lazy good-for-nothing inbreds. And I think time has proved me right. The British now completely agree with me on that. So, my attitude would be, about them now, to sell them off to Disneyland. I think that they would be wonderful next to the Epcot Center! And that would solve a lot of Britain's economic problems."
On Blair's Third Way: "Margaret Thatcher politics under a Labour Party guise."
(At the grand opening of the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas): "I love it! It's so quintessentially American! It's a cross between a mausoleum of pop music and a temple of greed!"
On life in England before the Pistols: "You learn to expect nothing. You get nothing. You start off in school and they take your soul away. They take your brains away. You're not allowed to have an opinion that differs from theirs. So when you leave school, your only future is getting married... and by that time you've got two kids and you just want to commit suicide."
"The whole Bill Grundy incident was lovely. It was heaven. He ruined his own career. It wasn't me."

The UK's food processors will come under greater pressure to ship their products in environmentally-friendly materials after retail outlets announced today the formation of an alliance to reduce packaging and food waste at landfills.
The new programme, made up of the leading UK retailers, is being launched under the Waste & Resources Action Programme (Wrap). The organisation is a government-backed non-profit association with the overall aim to meet the EU's requirements on food and packaging waste.
Early this month Defra, the UK's agency responsible for the environment, consulted with industry on the implementation next year of an EU directive banning manufacturers and retailers from disposing food of animal origin in the country's landfills. The EU-wide animal by-products directive went into force for all other EU members at the start of this year, but the UK received a concession allowing its industry to continue the practice until 1 January 2006.
The UK plans on asking the European Commission for a further extension to the concession for another year in a bid to give businesses more time to comply. Due to its older manufacturing history the UK has had difficulties reducing the amount of food waste going into landfills and in meeting packaging recycling targets.
The new programme sets as a target the goals of ending by 2008 the growth trend in the amount of packaging waste retailers produce, deliver absolute reductions in packaging waste by March 2010 and identify ways to tackle the problem of food waste.
Those involved in the scheme include Asda, Boots, Budgens, the Co-operative Group, Londis, Iceland, Kwik Save, Marks & Spencer, Morrison's, Sainsbury's, Somerfield, Tesco and Waitrose.
Defra's recovery and recycling figures for the fourth quarter of 2004 show that the UK failed to meet intermediate recycling targets in aluminium, steel, plastic, and the overall general recycling target. The European Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive, which was revised in 2004, sets new, even more challenging and differentiating, recycling targets for all packaging materials. In this new legal frame, members have to achieve a 50 per cent recycling rate in metals by 2008.
Wrap was established in 2001 in response to the UK government's policy to tackle the growing amount of waste produced in the country.

FROM III.CO.UK
e: HUGE CORRECTION ONE YEAR EARLIER Keep it simple
"On November 1, 2006, Wal-Mart will introduce a packaging scorecard to more than 2,000 private label suppliers. This is a tool that will allow Wal-Mart buyers to have all the information about packaging alternatives or more sustainable packaging materials in one place, allowing them to make better purchasing decisions."
INDUCTION MECHANISM, SO NOT ONLY WAL MART BUT THE ACTUAL CONSUMERS ARE GOING TO END UP PUNISHING THOSE COMPANIES THAT DO NOT USE BIODEGRADABLE FDA APPROVED PACKAGING FROM GUESS WHO, THE MORE I READ IT I CANT BELIEVE IT, WONDERFUL TRULY EXCEPTIONAL PLANNING NO WONDER WAL MART IS TAKING OVER THE WORLD AND SEO JUST HAPENED TO BEWITH THE RIGHT TECH AT THE RIGHT TIME AND WITH THE BEST STORE IN THE WORLD, I FEEL A HEART ATTACK COMMING BETTER LOG OFF.

maestro .... i thought i was "King Prick" round here, but clearly you are the true pretender to that title ...... even if "the stockmarket is one big sham", the money involved is very real, and as is well known "money makes the world go round" ..... so if you think it all a joke, and therefore presumably do not participate, why do you not just take a long holiday with sex ...... and lest you are so unobservant, i have no axe to grind on SEO, for i do not and never have held this particular share, nor even shorted it, though that was a strong temptation.

Cynic,
From what I understand Maestro is a racist plonker who ramps any share that he/she wants to go up.
King Prick is being too kind for such a person!!
