You'll recognise me. I'll be the one on all fours with a collar round my neck!

I imagine you will be wearing a trailing blue touch-paper - stand well back, please!!

sd, driver, andys, eric,di, just sitting here smiling , grinning ear to ear , nodding sagely. there arn't many better feelings than absolute and total smugness. to all those who wanted balchin out , i give you the finger. he has played a blinder. i did have doubts myself but then thought to myself that he and the board had led us this far. i honestly thought today would be the last buying opportunity as i expected negative news. there is still no rns so we shouldnt believe too much in rumour , BUT, looking at the volume and the price hike it certainly feels like there is some truth in the rumours. most importantly , we have break out. and you know what happened last time we broke out of the trading band..... oh!!! i feel so smug. dont you all feel smug????

Also feeling smug especially after telling one mate to get on board, and he didn't @ 8p

You know I said Harvey had come out blue then went pink apparently he has now gone yellow, I have been reassured that he is going to be fine.

i am sure he will be , driver.

Could anyone give me a forward P/E please?

I have to admit that I have been in and out of SEO more times than a cat stuck in a revolving door! "longer term" to me is something like a week! However I do like these shares and have been in and out since 8p meself - not always trading at quite the right! - but it has been my most fun share this year! Hurrah! Court cases can go so wrong and have very little to do with justice at all it seems - so if it is SEO's day then I will not be shedding any little tears...

No-one wish to answer my question?

Give you a clue...
Turnover 1.33M
Pre-tax profit -2.85M

Mkt cap 132M

Yes that is a mkt cap of 132M on a loss of nearly 3M and a turnover of just over a million quid!

jumpin

That's the historic figures you've got there to 31/10/04 when they made a loss.

Forecast to 31/10/05 is sales of 5.03m, proft of 0.45m and PE of 130 - scary but positive. This reduces to PE of 47 for the following year with a PEG of 0.26 - i.e. it's anticipated growth in EPS is keeping up with the highly rated PE very well.

What's your problem?

SD

P/E of 130 and then oh fantastic a P/E of 47?
You think that is that good?
And I suppose everything will be glorious and go to plan with no setbacks in the meantime either

It's the extraordinarily positive optimistic market indicator of how good they all think this company is and will become - the market is all about future anticipated results. And it does not matter to you what I think.

It does matter to you what YOU think. What I think you think tells me you should not buy into this share or you should immediately sell what you own now so you can stop worrying about it.

hope this helps

"extraordinarily"

You said it!

Markets are at their most bullish at the top, and their most bearish at the bottom.

But most bull comes out of the bottom.

sd , you have a wonderful wit. i havent seen any posts by eric for a few days. is he ok?

bos, I should eric is as bored as the rest of us with some of our regular threads which appear to be in danger of being taken over by the vandals.

we need some fresh news to enliven the market in general and SEO in particular - not long to go before 60 days are up - roll on 8th April also the day of the open day.

not sure which I'm more excited about, the ASDA deal or meeting dynamite!!

SD

Thanks SD...I take that as a compliment LOL I think I would be more excited about the Asda deal than meeting me. I definitely won't be trailing a blue touch paper...you can look but you cannot touch hehe cos' then I might Explode POW!!

I have been scanning the papers I haven't seen anything about SEO of interest yet. Any one who does post it here.
Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine.
Di:-D

i agree sd. not much sunshine here this morning , miss dynamite, so we are off to york for the day . first to the outlet village then probably for a nice bit of grub at ask (if its still there). considering everything, i feel really calm. i would be quite happy if it went all the way to april 8th. the "buy on rumour sell on news" brigade will keep pushing the price up. i would like an rns on fridays events though, something official. nothing has been released by bprg or seo. thats curious because both have been quick before.

I know a lot of this is already known to us, but the growth rates of ready-made meals on bith sides of the pond are interesting:

"Another company aiming to improve ready meal container performance, while simultaneously reducing brand owner/manufacturer costs and simplifying the recycling of used plastic food trays, is Southampton-based radio frequency (RF) technology specialist Stanelco.

Following successful ongoing trials of its new RF sealing system with Grampian Country Foods [with stuffing balls in tin trays and barbecued pork in plastic ones] and Oscar Mayer [ready meals], Stanelco is optimistic full-scale commercial packhouse trials with an Asda seafood supplier will see the supermarket introduce the process more widely across its supplier base.

The tray lidding system, possibly a world first, eliminates the need for additional PE or other heatsealing layers on CPET and APET preformed and thermoform/fill and seal packs, potentially reducing users' material costs by up to 20%. It also reportedly enables faster sealing than traditional heatsealing on foil trays, and eliminates 'leakers'.

"Our RF technology is ideally suited to high integrity sealing of microwaveable CPET, APET and foil food trays," says Stanelco technical director Mike Feast. "Food manufacturers wanting to use monomaterial, easily recyclable plastic packs can now do so."

The system will seal even through areas contaminated by juices, gravies or sauces. Stanelco has pioneered the technology using Proseal heatsealers, but can retrofit the required RF sealing head and other components to many different manufacturers' machines or tailor-make equipment.

While the ready meal market is still growing [figures from Rexam's recent "Busy Lives" research show it grew by 6% across Europe and 4% in the US in retail volume terms between 2002 and 2003], and provides ample opportunity for innovation, impulse buying and today's on-the-go eating and drinking culture have spawned some ingenious packaging developments too.

Nearly half [44%] those surveyed in the UK "rarely or never plan ahead" for "refuelling on the move", instead "grabbing a drink and a bite when they can", while 71% said they would try their favourite brand in a new package "at least once". "
