I recall it as "insiderinside". More than that, it was on the other side - ADVFN !
I do not think he was wiser, but almost certainly a paid deramper to support a short (EK?) - but so what?
We are where we are. What to do now?

Crikey, they say a week is a long time in politics, but its a hell of a lot longer to be away when you are invested in SEO!!!
What have you lot done???? LOL
Re the professional baiters on here. I stand by every word I wrote reference my pal at Asda. He exists, some on here know his real identity, which is very easy to verify, and I reported our conversations verbatim. All posts told you to DYOR and take it or leave it. I took him at face value, and no longer see him as he moved to another team.
Skimmed the posts as I couldn't be arsed reading them all, but has anyone asked the question re the patent challenges. If the patents are as worthless as the management and the company, why are people challenging them? They must be commercially viable, otherwise others would happily see SEO holding a worthless patent.
Anyway. Pi$$ed off to a major extent here and off to drown my sorrows.

Alan,
re: the Patents - even if they are commercially viable they could be worthless (to SEO) if they do not give SEO/Biotec exclusivity. That doesn't mean the ideas or claims of the patents are worthless. It would just mean SEO/Biotec weren't alone in being able to commercialise the ideas/claims in the patents. Hence the patents would be worthless but the ideas could be the most amazing since sliced bread and commercially very succesful!
If a comptitor/competitors can make the patents worthless (i.e. by having them revoked,invalidated, etc) the ideas in the patents would become commercially viable for them as well as SEO/Biotec!
I think what you mean is the ideas (not the patents) must be good and work otherwise no-one would be interested in challenging them. Quite right, I agree. Thats a good sign. We have to hope the ideas/claims truly belong to SEO/Biotec. We then have to hope they commercialise them and theres not much sign of that so far however brilliant the ideas may be!
BTW - I never doubted your cricket team chum (the invisible third man!) was real.

Who gives a stuff about exclusivity. SEO had an exclusivity deal with ASDA, look where that got them. Thought they had exclusivity with GS until the CC split it down the middle, and look how they've exploited that.
Even with exclusivity, they fart-arse about and others go to market with a supposedly lesser product.

gary - thats what patents are all about - exclusivity. The exclusive right to use the idea.

Just looking over the prospectus again, how many of the following have come to pass?:
10. Summary Risk Factors
An investment in Ordinary Shares involves a high degree of risk. There are risks relating to Stanelco,
to the packaging industry and to the trading market:
possible volatility of the price of the Ordinary Shares;
Stanelco may not be able to derive additional revenues from its intellectual property portfolio;
Stanelco may lose key personnel;
Stanelco may not be able to implement its strategy as described in this document;
Stanelco may be adversely affected by political, economic and regulatory factors outside of its
control;
Stanelco may not be able to successfully defend its intellectual property and risks infringing that
of other companies;
Stanelco may not receive the co-operation of SPhere in relation to the exploitation of Biotecs
intellectual property and may, as a result, need to refer the provisions of the Joint Venture
Agreement to arbitration and/or face court proceedings from SPhere and/or Biotec;
Stanelco operates in markets in which there is intense competition; and
Stanelco may have further funding requirements before becoming profitable.

Ah, it is becoming a little clearer as to why Sylvia Leavey left (no pun intended, not bad though is it?!). She must have typed the prospectus and ignored the instructions of the board to put in the words "will"/"will not"................she typed "may"/"may not" instead!

Rumor or Fact.
Just heard that the management have decided to sell the company on E Bay.
Could be a good way to go, you know how some people will pay a few quid for almost anything.
I've already put in a bid for 5. Perhaps I should have started lower.
Now I wonder how much the company would fetch.

Gary,
Yes, I see what you mean, perhaps I could get them cheaper.
5 does seem over priced.
Oblomov,
Just looked at the site. I knew I had overpriced it.

'SEO done properly in 30 minutes!' If only the Stanelco management had bought one of these a couple of years back! Maybe its not too late.

Just read the Da Vinci Code followed by all the news releases, annual reports issued by SEO over the last 3 years.
Solved one of them, but struggling to make sense of the other.
One appears to be slightly factual, the other is pure fiction.
I will say no more.

Hi Twennie you sound a trifle upset !! They(SEO) Have already burnt a reasonable size chunk of mine............ When i was a younger man I had a haulage business for several years,and, for a considerable time I covered the length and breadth of the UK, but I never covered the long haul I believe this share is going to take to get my brass back!! Good luck,did I say good luck, to all holders,I think we will need it. Cheers.
