Oily,
I'd have thought a more apt nickname would be Vineyard, but I'm glad you enjoyed the post!

Aah, Oblo, you are obviously a wine buff. But if you are, you should not be drinking wine with that label. Methinks a touch of Chateau Plastique about it, Oui?
The oily one
Apologies to (most of) the rest on this board for this "in" exchange between Oblo and myself.

Have you just found some loose change down the back of the sofa again?
The RNS may come around 10.30am today or hopefully not later than tomorrow 7am.

Oblomov,
Re post 20990, I have read your post again, you say, "TB, Shares Mag, RHPS, and others have a big following. Might we not now be looking at funding nearer 2p or even higher if not for their sudden negativity?" and I stand by what I say - do you really think journalists have such an influence on the share price? Yes they might cause a short term blip, but not a long term trend. Don't forget, for much of this fall in price TB was calling it a buy, and then a hold - that didn't hold up the share price at all, so why do you think now he's calling it a sell he and his ilk have added to the drop?

I have Oily.
I was also amazed at how quickly my average price has fallen with the larger quantities i was buying over the last week or so.
Break even will not take too much for me now. Hope you can say the same.

You'll only get part of it then. The rest will come in stages. It's a serial.
Apologies for that very weak joke.

Re the power of Tip Sheets,publications.
Whilst I agree that the effect these tip sheets can have on many shares is negative due to shares that are in the FSTE 100 being more or less in the control of the institutions, and big private holders, I do feel that shares similar to SEO are often bought and sold on the say so of these publications.
Many penny share type companies have thousands of small shareholders and many of them treat the buy,sell,hold comments as Gospel.
I know a few followers of RHPS, Share Mag who do no research whatsoever, but go along with the said mags advice. You can see the effect, as well over 90% of shares tipped by the mags go up first day of trading following publication. They also go down as soon as the sell tip comes along.
I am signed up to one of these sheets, and have been for several years.
I usually get my ideas from this publication and then do as much research as possible, often spending many hours of time and effort. DYOR is the best advice we see on these sites, and I fully agree.
In the last 2 years I have dabbled in a total of 3 shares that were recommended. Having bought and sold 1 of these shares a total of 5 times,I am in profit by about 10%, including my Mag costs. About 7 years ago, I double my money in less than 3 days,completing 3 buys and 3 sells (Ratners) this was from a tip sheet, but I also spent several hours DMOR.
OK also some big losses Torotrak for 1.( Must have spent a couple of days on this one).
You have to look at the long average of these mags to make a judgment. You can't just say due to a complete mis judgment of 1 share, that they are a waste of time and money.
I do agree that the Share Mag articles and comments made by Geoff Ho when taken in the short space of time, contradictory, and if I was a subscriber I would be very angry, and a subscriber no longer.
Punters who have their own brokers (advice type accounts) also often buy,sell hold on their advisers advice, and as we know from the publication of tables, many of these so called experts are no better or worse than the tip sheets.
As to SEO's big slide over the last few weeks, this must be down to many cutting their losses, due to share sentiment, with a small percentage of the slide down to the mag followers.
All of course IMHO.
