Buy back in at 0.5p then the 0.8p placing will drag the price UP!!!! LOLROTF. Not long to wait now.

bhunt1910 - 05 Oct 2006 17:23 - 20882 of 27111

another 1.2 m buy after the bell. Not quite the same impact as it used to be - but every little helps

maestro - 05 Oct 2006 17:28 - 20883 of 27111

400M extra shares at 0.8p ...probably all spoken for..Asda,Tesco etc

Staying on the fence with this one, LOIs are not binding as still in negotiation. Lets also add to that SEO doesn't have a great deal of negotiating power left. Should any LOI be converted to contract at this stage I suspect SEO will be forced to offer large discounts or face the alternitive and be forced out of business through insolvency. Also would be keen to see a creditors report who no doubt are stepping up collection activity. SEO are high risk and that will only cause what little cash the company has to be burnt even quicker!!

Hi, I'm Geoff Ho of Shares Magazine. I would like to put a few things straight here, after reading some of the comments on this thread.

a) Shares Magazine has NO agenda against Stanelco.

b) I am the one who thought up of the Stanelco trade and it was written before Timon Day's story that appeared on page 6.

c) I recommended shorting Stanelco for a number of reasons. First, lots of people out there are already shorting it and winning. Why go against the tide? Secondly, in my opinion (I STRESS THIS IS NOT SHARES MAGAZINE OPINION, it is my own) this company is a screaming sell because the management are either incompetent or much, much worse. They are burning through cash like there is no tomorrow and have failed to exploit some wonderful technology they''ve developed. They are going bust and I can't see anyway out for them.

d) No one at Shares has profited from shorting Stanelco. For the record, SHARES has very clear rules about staff and their ability to trade. Look in the front of the magazine - the rules are very strict, so strict in fact that I have not bought or sold a share or made a spread bet since I have been here.

e) There were no factual errors in Timon Day's story on page 6. Contrary to whoever claimed it, we have clearly quoted CLIVE WARNER as CFO, not Martin Wagner.

There, I've had my say. Feel free to disagree with me if you want, but at the end of the day I think this company is a goner. The only way it will recover is if shareholders get shot of the management.

So Geoff, are you saying you don't believe the RNS reported share placing at 0.8p??

explosive - 05 Oct 2006 19:22 - 20887 of 27111

Fair play Geof, don't take any posts to heart, there are alot of good posters here but also the manipulative idiots and spin doctors that do the rounds on all free BBs. Its all too easy to invent a name and post whatever you like true or false and when things start going wrong the finger gets pointed.

WOODIE - 05 Oct 2006 19:22 - 20888 of 27111

geoffho it was nice of you to take the time to post here,i agree with about the company but as i stated earlier i think it was offence the wording used in the article" an emergency fundraising will soon take place,but surely no one will be dumb enough to bail them out.the only direction seo is moving downward" calling fellow investors dumb, only my view, but others might have found it funny.

oblomov - 05 Oct 2006 19:43 - 20889 of 27111


All very interesting GeoffHo, but as most of us have not seen the article I dont quite see the point of the post unless it is to incite the shareholders to 'get shot of the management'.

Your post doesn't strike me as a very professional act from what, presumably, is considered to be a reputable magazine.

I understand that a week ago your magazine were tipping SEO as 'a punt'. If so, your latest stance and opinion would seem extreme given that the management haven't changed in the past week.

If it is Geoff Ho.

tweenie - 05 Oct 2006 19:54 - 20891 of 27111

WTF?
calling anyone 'DUMB' never goes down well.
Having your mag recommend it one minute and short it the next is a bit RICH.
As for not dealing in shares 'yourself' I'm sure you don't. would'nt wish to question your integrity. Does it also exclude persons in your immediate family/friend/bloke down st/partner etc. Have worked long enough in business to know that clauses only protect the owner and don't stop staff mis-behaving.

If posts hurt your feelings, well get over it.
and lets hope everyone sells before the company goes bust, or else shorting , won't pay.
:-))))

oblomov - 05 Oct 2006 20:01 - 20892 of 27111

Unlikely it is, I should think, Alan.

The comments on SEO's management are defamatory. A magazine representitive stating on a BB read by a large number of large shareholders that the company is 'a gonner' unless they get rid of the management and that 'the management are either incompetent or much, much worse' - sounds libelous to me unless he can prove they're incompetent and not just unlucky. The 'much, much worse' implies someting illegal to me.

I put the post down to yet another nutter, pretending to be Geoff Ho. If it really is him, then I think MAM should pass this on to SEO for their lawyers to look at!



hewittalan6 - 05 Oct 2006 20:05 - 20893 of 27111

My thoughts, Oblo.
A journalist who could not take criticism of his opinions would last about half a day.

So Geoff, are you saying you don't believe the RNS reported share placing at 0.8p??

Remember what followed placings at 21p and 8p?

aldwickk - 05 Oct 2006 20:38 - 20895 of 27111

'the management are either incompetent or much, much worse' - sounds libelous to me unless he can prove they're incompetent .


How much more proof do you need ?

pisces - 05 Oct 2006 20:45 - 20896 of 27111

Before i continue i have no agenda against or for stanelco and really feel for those that have lost money of which i am sure there are many. I havn`t been trading for very long,less than 2 years but have to agree with cynic on this one.Having bailed out at 13p mainly due to Andy Smiths comments at the time, it has been downhill ever since.Nobody on this thread can argue with the charts,i cannot remember a share consistantly falling like this since i started trading .A lot of people on this thread have talked a load of bollocks over the past 6 months but i still feel for the genuine posters .I stated a couple of weeks ago that if a genuine contract had been signed or even near to completion you guys would be the last to know but where are all the massive buys,sorry guys but there just isn`t any and until something positive happens only a fool would touch these. Good luck anyway.

aldwickk - 05 Oct 2006 21:02 - 20897 of 27111

I have emailed MoneyAM to confirm if it is Geoff Hoe of Share Mag who posted.

garyble - 05 Oct 2006 21:40 - 20898 of 27111

Can't believe it has almost been a year since we were speculating about the demise etc of GS and giving SEO just one more chance to come good!

It would be nice to hear about the progress on the ASDA salad packing machines, and the Tray-lidders.

bosley - 05 Oct 2006 21:45 - 20899 of 27111

thankyou geoff for taking the time to respond. i think it's obvious quite a few don't read shares mag. if they did then they would know each individual writer expresses his/her opinion in their articles and , being human, the opinions can differ. one writer may think seo is worth a punt, other writers think it's a dog. no different to any bb really so why all the fuss from everyone?
