Products often have potential. As far as the investor is concerned, the greatness of a product can only in my opinion be measured by sales. I am sure some of you remember Leonard Rosita and his Grot Company Products. He invented products that were completely useless, but they sold, because the customers wanted them. OK a comedy, but in all seriousness, it is customers that define success, more than the product. If the customers don't want/buy it the product is useless.

Just a thought, Leonard Rosita, SEO CEO. Now theres a thought. Shame he's dead.

Just seen the above post....Stanelco Towers, Do you mean Fawty Towers, John Cleese as MD perhaps.

'Is this just because we now know for certain who is pulling the strings (Schroders) and we have more faith in them than the previous puppeteers??
Interesting.'

No, Alan - it's because the stock market has risen generally and taken SEO up a little with it.

SEO's SP is stiil pathetic. An 8% rise of a pathetic SP(virtually nothing) still equals a pathetic SP in my book!

What has to happen with this share before certain shareholders realise the company is a dead donkey? The next cash call?

Dead donkey bounce?

Oblo,
I am not saying for one moment that SEO is a spectacular investment, far from it.
To say it has risen in line with the market in general is a little wrong.
It rose on Friday by more than the market and has risen by 9 times the market today.
I lost much patience long ago, but I was merely (in an attempted lighthearted way) pointing out that we are now sure the board - and therefore the company - is pretty much full of institutional placemen and that must be a good thing. The market seems to perceive it as so.
It may not mean huge orders from WM or McD, but it may mean plans that would raise the SP, even if only a bit. That would be a bit let loss for us all, and maybe even a profit for the few.
Alan

Alan,

I'm commenting in a light-hearted way myself. If I didn't laugh....

But the SP is so low that any change is going to be large in percentage terms!

A shift of 0.01P equates to around 1%. When it dropped from 1.8P the percentage drop was equally spectacular. It is sure to be - the fluctations are only measure (I believe) to 2 decimal points.

SEO is a spectacular investment - spectacularly stupid!

Nevertheless, the last couple of days may point to stirrings!!
IMO.
Alan

whys everyone so touchy?
You'd think you did'nt want a return on your investment?
:-0

1 by xmas
:-)











Thats the money in my piggybank, not the sp.
SMILE!!!!!!

Bought some TOMCO ENERGY recently {TOM.L} .Reading the website "tomcoenergy.com" I see that the directors were involved with a company called Cadence Resources which was a 450 bagger in 5 years!!!!!!!My point is dreams can come true.See you all at the AGM?

OBLOMO, I am quite content with the rise in SP for the moment, but I suppose it does depend on the price that it was bought at.

Yes Fred - it does!!!!!

.

would anyone like to talk about what they will be having for tea tonight? are you all on holiday? with the profits you have made on SEO?

No Automatic, we are all watching the grass grow, or die, its more exciting !!!!!

Saving our energy for the AGM?Sunny in Cork.How's Geneva TR?

Can anyone confim the above have gone bust--- on website appear to have appointed administrators........ So much for FROGPACK sales going thru roof.

If true is this another giant leap backwards by seo in commercialising it's products.
Surely they do a bit of digging before signing licences?

I wonder if I can become a sole distributor. I will gladly change my name to DELLBOY and know where to get my hands on a nice little three wheeled runaround.
My depth of knowledge in this field is exemplory when compared to my pet gerbil and I've got at least 50p to invest in a new website and sales drive.
:-) The AGM should be interesting- I think they'll be lots of blameing the past management and promises of jam Tommorrow..... sounds familiar----
HOPE I'm WRONG

tweenie
it reads that way? it was only a year ago that they bought 4 m0re companies taking the T/O to 20 mill, it seems that SEO do not have the MIDAS touch

Dominic Wong, Andrew Peters and David Langton were appointed Joint Administrators of Elderglade Packaging Limited, Merlin Packaging Limited and John Baldwin Packaging Services Limited on 19 April 2007 and are responsible for management of the company's affairs, business and property from that date. The Joint Administrators contract as agents of the company only and without personal liability.

From front page of SEO website:-


'FrogPack leaping ahead!

Good news for the Frog range of products; our partners Merlin Packaging have secured several new orders for our product range including but not limited to laptop computers and ceramic consumer products.'

Shouldn't someone tell SEO their partners have 'croaked'?

Lol Oblo!

I hope for the workers' sakes (and SEO's) that a solution is found, not the end for Froggie of course, just very incovenient. Someone is going to be hopping mad.

Jobs left in balance
Apr 20 2007


By Rebekah Ashby, The Journal


The jobs of 35 packaging workers in the North-East are hanging in the balance after a failing factory elsewhere in the country caused its parent company to collapse last night.

Nottingham-based Merlin Packaging Group only bought the operation on Gateshead's Team Valley from the South African Mondi Packaging Group 11 months ago.

Now its workforce, which makes corrugated sheet board and ancillary packaging materials, has an anxious wait to see if administrator Deloitte can sell their facility as a going concern.

Administrators say the 20m group failed because of cash flow problems caused by losses suffered at the Stoke on Trent division.

The two-acre Gateshead factory, which turned over 2.6m last year, is part of a nine division group which has operations across the UK.

Dominic Wong, partner in Deloitte's Reorganisation Services practice, said: "The Gateshead site is a profitable one but part of an unprofitable group, so we are hopeful of selling it as a going concern and saving the jobs there.

"Each location has a good reputation for customer service and a good customer base within its region. Each location is a stand-alone business and we are seeking offers for the businesses either as a group or individually."

He said that while action had been taken to reduce capacity and improve productivity at the North Midlands operation, the losses incurred had irreversibly affected its cash flow.

Merlin Packaging Group was specifically set up to acquire a number of packaging businesses with a framework for "sharing costs, achieving growth and making a difference in the market".

The group trades under three brands. These are Elderglade Packaging, which turns over 1.5m and has 25 staff in Ilkeston, near Nottingham; Birmingham's John Baldwin Packaging Services, which employs 20 staff at the 1.5m turnover business; and the bigger Merlin brand, which trades from seven locations and employs 175 staff.

Mr Wong, David Langton and Andrew Peters, of Deloitte, were appointed as joint administrators of Merlin Packaging, Elderglade Packaging and John Baldwin Packaging Services yesterday afternoon.

Merlin Packaging is one of the UK's largest groups of independent sheet plants. It acquired businesses based in Great Yarmouth, Stoke, Glasgow and Aberdeen when it bought the Gateshead plant.

Let's hope 1/ They pull through(administration is akin to chapter 11 in the states )2/They don't owe SEO a shed load.I will add this to the list of q's for Friday.On the bright side there must be other companies prepared to take on Frogpack
