Hi Cynic,

You are probably right, but I have to give it a try.
You never know something may come of it, but as they say, I'm not taking bets.

Oblo & Greek

Thanks. It goes to show I should not go away for long periods!

Although not one to trust, he has shown the ability to greatly increase a share price. Which, of course, is the hope that brings us all together.

In my mind he is worth keeping an eye on, in case he gets another opportunity. The difficulty then would be timing the sell !

Unfortunately he has also shown the ability to greatly decrease the share price, Tony!!! A risky man to back.

Hence my last sentence

A fairly interesting article here relating to biodegradable packaging and supermarkets.

It would be more interesting to us if the author had mentioned SEO - he seems to have decided Metabolix and Biopack have it sewn up - or 'wrapped up' as he puts it.

Oblo,

The key players for the nascent bio-plastics market will most likely jostle for position over the coming years. However, SEO definitely out of favour with the pundits {for obvious reasons}, especially when the figures quoted are compared:

Metabolix 50:50 JV with a pharma for a "50 million-kilo-per-year" plant {SEO 50:50 JV with ~20 million-kilo-per-year plant, and a 100 million-kilo-per-year plant in the offing}

Biopack: $155m company with $6.6m sales in 2006; SEO ~$30m company with ~$12m sales in 2006.

I guess they didn't hype themselves up and played it more cautiously!

Interesting figures, Gary. They demonstrate what could happen to the SEO SP should they get a year or two of decent sales under their belt.

Not that I'd bet a lot on that happening at the moment!

Which part of September do we get some news? Anyone know?

Sep 10


D DAY

D Day/Stanelco,

An analogy
When thousands of small boats went out to rescue the mainly British Army, turning a rout (failure) into what the present now looks at as a success.
With each and ever cash call, thousands of small shareholders have been pushing their boats out, trying to stop Stanelco becoming a failure.
A beach too far perhaps.

Now if 10th Sept turns out to be VE day.

10th Sept. will definately be a VE day for shareholders if SEO pruduces something good, if not, then small boats will drown.

Should that be sink ?

Aldwickk, where have you been?

Have not seen any of your postings lately.

Fred,

Am still around, but were is ' The French Connection ' ? last i heard he was going on holiday.

i think chart is beginning to look good. Anyone agree?

If you like horizontal lines the chart looks good.

Greekman - confused between Dunkirk (not a success) and D-Day (the beginning of the final phase) - neither a victory in themselves. Not like the old days when a few good men could hide in a wooden horse and sneak up on the market all unsuspecting like, eh?

Hi Stockdog,

Thanks, I stand corrected (now stood in a corner with pointy hat on).
Lets just hope there is not a Trojan in the Stanelco boardroom, passing info onto rivals.

There is very little we shareholders can do, it being fairly obvious that any large holders must have a severe case of blindness - or are already "out".
This business has been a shambles for a long time, with Execs that are able to delude themselves whilst taking fat paycheques.
The most recent change in Exec might have been a turning-point, but I suspect the patient is so very ill only a complete body transplant will do. SEO has very little credibity anywhere, dare I say?

[[Incidently, Dunkirk was a success IMHO - for without it (being successful), D-day would never have happened. It is somewhat surprising the Germans allowed the evacuation; but no doubt there were other distractions. Also it may not have occurred to the Germans that we had the ability to take men off shallow beaches. It was that stroke of "genius" that made a predictably futile attempt into a stonking success.]]

Have been away, does'nt look like I've missed much though. :-(
If seo are breaking even come the interims then i'll be slightly at ease.
Knowing this ship, I think they'll be a few leaks.
so long as it is'nt of titanic proprotions , I think the new management might have a fighting chance to bail us out.
5p by xmas - well you've got to dream.
Be lucky

tweenie, trust you had a good break and i will second that post,this and all other boards are eerily quiet. My only concern is that with the amount of new blood in,SEO will struggle to leave these prices without exceptional news, Anyway good luck to all genuine long term holders. Cheers.
