Amongst other factors, a lot of institutional investors, merchant bankers (cockney rhyming bit there), brokers, etc have managed to make a fast buck over the last few weeks by buying in low just before the rights issue and then taking up their entitlements at 0.8p. On Monday and Tuesday the sp shot up with all the governmental spin on green issues, recycling and how supermarkets could end global warming if they just stopped overly packaging things. Consequently, a lot of city boys managed to get profits of 100% plus on their SEO holdings. So why did they sell them now? Don't they believe in the company? Maybe, maybe not. The point is, Christmas is looming and so are those bonuses. If they can show their bosses big profits on their books they get a much bigger Christmas bonus.

That, I believe, is part of the answer. But I'm a cynic (but not cynic!).

Now No 1 on the leaders board 319,602,833 traded

Thanks for that StarFrog. I've been following SEO the last few days - and everything was pretty much making sense - until today, when there were those massive trades and ... the price was either going the wrong way to what I expected - or no way at all! Any ideas on that?

Good ! So they have time to jerk it up one more time for an even bigger bonus

the reason it keeps going up in waves is because you can spread bet this stock for very little deposit...been talkin to a city trader and he says they are all piling in and riding the wave then shorting and then piling back in again like today

Well thats it from me till after the weekend. House move tomorrow, so I can almost guarantee a hot news day with seismic activity on the SP, based on no more than I will be away from any action!!!

StarFrog and maestro make sense. 300m is unlikely to be all profit-taking from share issue (though some is likely to be) so has to be churning. Get the price down, close position, let slip a rumour re MacD or al., and so on. Probably a good situation to play these games. As an investor, the danger is you buy in on the up-trend thinking it is the real thing. My position is that nothing substantial will be revealed this side of Xmas - then the risk is just that of not being in on the act if it does happen.

Today's close should give a more accurate guide to medium long term holders position once the speculators have closed out for the weekend

Good Luck with the move Alan

By the time Alan reads this, his house move will have gone like clockwork, nothing broken, all boxes unpacked and everything fitted exactly into place; he will be sitting with a glass of champagne staring at SEO's sp which will be 10p. Well..............in a perfect world he would be!
kim

If Carlsberg did moves and ran Stanelco .....

Lol THS!

Think Alan's planning to complete his move a little sooner than that, Kim!

this is not a deramp but i keep thinking ( and thats a very hard thing to do for me)as we (SEO) have such wounderfull products that are going to help save the planet, why??? hasn't a company that works along the same lines as SEO bought SEO for very little, ??are SEOs goods not as good or as cheap as we are to beleive, i don't know just shareing my thoughts

Automatic.
Until 7 Nov the Directors and close associates held or controlled (probably) 30%. They knew the real prospects and if they were bright (the prospects, not the Directors!) they would have resisted all but the most compelling offer, which would have had to be very very high if it was to reflect their expectations of the future. A hostile bid in these circumstances would, IMO, have failed.

Afterall, no Directors/associates sold when the SP was in the high 20ps showing a 7fold increase in a few months - they were holding on for more!

But 7 Nov was Stenalco's 9/11. A new order now exists. So why not?

cheers , just bought another 107,000 i keep thinking of all the bad things but still HOPE & think they may come good even if under another name?

Automatic,

IMO SEO has only been been in the bio sector for a relatively wee while {2 years} and have only in recent times moved from R&D to Commercialisation. We saw the sp high of ~30p on expectation of the potential people believed at that time; most would say the potential is still there and very much closer to realisation.

Also mentioned several times by a few was the lack of real institutional interest. well the lack could have been due to the price being too high and still mostly potential.

Now there is significant institutional interest, to which some have said the company will be sold in the short to medium term, once house put in order.

Also, the packaging issue is only just taking hold, so all basically down to timing and price: 250m for a company only showing potential = gamble, or 150m for a company with contracts and a serious forecast = massive profit!

For several days SCAP appeared to be leading the mm's on the chase for your shares. If you look at the inactivity on L2 there is as much interest at the moment in buying/selling as there is on this thread. No one wants to take the lead in making any sort of a market. Scaps own bid is 1.25p so they don't have much in the way of orders to fill. None of the other mm's are interested.
It doesn't look like moving much at all now.
Don't usually try to guess were it's going but stagnation looks the order of the day till further news.
Looks like the market is as much in the dark as to which way this is heading as the rest of us.
Like watching paint dry but not as interesting.
Maybe next week or the one after or the one,.........
Have a good weekend all

kim

Well I guess that the RNS below scotches all the rumours that HW had sold his shares yesterday.

Now I wonder who has bought or intends to buy those 250m odd shares sold yesterday?
