A lot of buyers coming in on BPRG against the relatively few but insistent sellers (shorters?). Price bottoming out now about 12% down . On SEO actually greater number of sellers relative to buyers than BPRG, but the latter definitely have the upper hand and the SP is holding pretty firm compared to the almost universal negative sentimment across the board of the last couple of days.
Not sure why I'm comparing and contrasting these two stocks, except that they have a somewhat intertwined and opposing interest currently.
SEO looking pretty strong all things considered. Next break up will be decisive - 18 days and counting. I'm betting on the RNS for Monday 11th April, the day after the expiry of the 60day option period.

What's the difference between a euphonium and a baritone horn?
I've got one (or the other) and my daughter has picked it up and started to play it, but it's got a really tatty bell which makes a poor sound, so I was thinking of replacing it with a better model. ANy idea where to start looking and what I want?
When she's older I'll send her up North to join the band (or, on second thoughts, maybe I'll come myself).

Stanelco PLC ('Stanelco' or the 'Group')
ASDA adopt Stanelco's GREENSEAL technology
Stanelco PLC, the RF (radio frequency) applications group, is pleased to
announce that it has signed a binding contract with ASDA for a 12-month
exclusive agreement for the application of the Group's GREENSEAL tray lidding
and thermoforming RF technology in the UK and Ireland. ASDA anticipate that
several hundred machines will be adapted to utilise the technology due to the
significant benefits it delivers.
The agreement follows successful trials at a number of different ASDA suppliers
and will mean that the suppliers involved in the programme will, where
practical, convert from traditional heat-sealing to Stanelco's revolutionary RF
technology.
The main benefits of Stanelco's GREENSEAL technology are:
- An up to 20% lower cost of packaging material;
- A higher integrity seal substantially reducing the possibility of packs
leaking;
- A removal of laminated plastics in favour of mono plastics, which can be
easily recycled providing significant environmental benefits and
- A saving of up to 70% on power usage in the traylidding/thermoforming
machines.
The costs associated with conversion will be greatly outweighed by the financial
and other benefits indicated. It is expected that, according to plan, this
agreement will generate a revenue stream for Stanelco significantly in excess of
5m in the first year alone. Even before the first machine has been converted
ASDA and Stanelco are working together to look at other areas of opportunity for
the technology.
The 12-month agreement will commence from the first Monday following two weeks
of further successful trials with three ASDA suppliers. This is expected to be
in April. These commercial trials are in addition to the completed trial
announced on 1 March 2005. The underlying access agreement to adopt the
technology will be between Stanelco and each of ASDA's packaged food suppliers
with Stanelco taking on responsibility for installation and maintenance of the
tray-lidding technology.
Ian Balchin, Chief Executive of Stanelco commented:
'We are delighted to have signed a formal agreement with ASDA. This is the final
step of the first phase in the commercialising of this technology, and a very
significant step in the transformation of Stanelco into an intellectual property
business, exploiting the Group's core technologies. This contract is excellent
news for Stanelco and its shareholders and reflects the hard work put in by all
our staff. We look forward to working with ASDA on the implementation.'
Tony Ruane, Technical Manager, Meal Solutions category at ASDA said:
'This is a first to market for ASDA - real innovation. This could well turn out
to be the biggest thing in packaging for years. The benefits for both the
environment, our customers and suppliers from this technology are far reaching.
The potential for the use of Stanelco's technology grows every time we look at
it. Every visit to both stores and suppliers identifies new areas and ways in
which the technology can be used. We are looking forward to working with
Stanelco.'

It's made it onto "risers" on the London Stock Exchange,which means SEO is finally on the big radar.
Incidentally,MMG has never been shown there!
I am amazed at the amount of sellers on such excellent news.The small rise of the sp is unnerving.
