I believe that if Branson is going to buy "green" it will be in the bio diesel mkt so he can show that he is reducing polution during road and more importantly rail transport. (fyi there is no environmentally friendly alternative available -as yet-for jet fuel which is in essence a kerosine with a whopping max 0.3 pct weight sulphur content)
Let's face it more PR for him on biofuels than getting fingers wet on a company called Stanelco that nobody outside the packaging industry has heard of.
If I am wrong I am wrong, but do not think so

Still just think it's the sp and punters being pulled along, ie the more buys mean even more buys.
L2 still looking good, although the mms don't look like they are desperately after your shares, which I would expect if news was out there. ( Hope I am very wrong).

This is the type of company Branson would invest in, after all he does own a airline.

Don't tell me, you're all sitting there with your mouths open, surprised looks on your faces and your chins resting on the desk and totally gobsmacked.
Me too!! Well not really. I was told by head office on Friday that they were totally confused by what was going on and that they believed that there was a lot of manipulation of the share price.
Now tell me those very large trades in the last few trading days were all SELLS?!?
Find it hard to believe.

I was just about to write that today is more evidence of market manipulation, Oily.
I am just totally bemused as to who has or will benefit from the strangest few days trading I have ever seen on this stock.
It makes no sense to me. The only ones burned would surely be shorters or MM's, so what happened??
Anyway, a good day at the office, dear.

I'd have been much happier if they price had risen by 48%, but then that would be greedy wouldn't it?
Greed is good!!!!

I am and have been a rider for far too long and have no intent on selling. The upside is far too great.
Hopefully in a couple of years time we shall all - or most of us - look back on these turbulent times with, dare I say it, fond memories.

Could be the day traders have accounted for a vast part of todays total volume.
A 5mill buy at 2.08p and a 5mill sell at same price.
With a very narrow spread it would have only taken a .01p increase to make a small profit with 5mills worth.
Someone perhaps called it wrong.
Who really knows.
