Not fully giving up yet but according to MFF the last 4 USA funds that owned SEO stock have now all sold.

Is this, as Europe sang, "The Final Countdown"? Or do we believe in miracles, fairies and that Gordon Brown and his Darling are doing a good job?

Answers on a postcard (obviously not from a fantastic Caribbean island unless you invested in something else) to Mr Mines & co.!

Just prior to seeing Kim's post was thinking the same on seeing todays sp drop. We were told that the new board would be far more prudent in it's press releases and would not 'spin' like the old board was renowned for, a policy I'm sure we all agreed with.
But it appears that prudence has turned to utter silence.
On reading between the lines of what the present boards comments were, IE 'if nothing is happening then we will keep quiet' leads me to believe just that.
Silence may be golden but NOTHING IS HAPPENING, so I finally feel SEO is dead in the water.

I tend to agree unfortunately but as results are due in August we may see a flicker before then!

So, after August we could be either flicked or flucked?!

Perhaps, for the time being, I will consider that sometimes "no news is good news". Hohum, ever the optimist!

As Confucius says, 'Before any flame dies, there is always a last flicker'.
In truth, I made it up but I'm sure someone said it sometime.
Poor old Confucius, he gets the blame for everything.
I wonder if ever he was a CEO in Stanelco, or does it just feel they have been dredged up from the distant past, or perhaps it's just that the current sp is in the
5th/6th century value.
After all the current sp is now less than a groat (1 groat = 4 old English pennies or 5 Stanelco Shares).
I feel Jack (of the beanstalk fame) cut a better deal with his broker when he got his 5 magic beans for his cow.
Anyone give me 5 beans for this cow (of a share) has a deal.
OK back to being a normal, sensible SEO holder I suppose.
Must get some more of those anti depression pills the psychiatrist gave me.
Apologies to all for my ramblings, just been re-calculating my share portfolio movement over the last 6 months. It does not make pleasant reading.
The current state of play re the markets is enough to make anyone crack up.
If you don't laugh, you will cry.

Footnote. Kim, who the hell is Hohum, and what's he got to be optomistic about.

The younger sister of Confucious Greek!

If you've got any spare anti-depressant pills ...
Mine is as bad ....

FWIW I think SEO is just following all the other shares in moving southwards.

Don't think it is a reflection that 'bust' is necessarily round the corner.
Wouldn't be surprised for it to go back to .2p then we'll just have to wait.
Where there is life ...

Where there is life......there is something biodegradeable?!

Where there's life....There will always be someone trying to screw it out of you.

It certainly doesn't sound like a business on its last legs.

The above may be good news or not (IE no pricing mentioned) but this news was released April/May last. There does not appear to have been much positive sp effect.
Not knocking it, just stating a fact.

Hi greek
It is this April/May.
Same as this; http://stanelcoplc.com/pdf/news/etray_Modo.pdf

Hi Patisear,

Yes, I think so because other items on the same site refer to being displayed at EXPO 2008 that started on June 14th.
Although there are no dates evident re the article on the Modo tray piece.

We said goodbye to greenseal a while ago.
Are we going to say goodbye to Stanelco golden share in Biotec regarding the MAP?

if you believe that the share has been attacked by a shorting campaign. This is not nice and I too have held/still hold shares that have been attacked.

The only concerted way for a pi to alleviate this problem, at least to some extent is to talk to your broker. On shares that are traded on SETTS, not sure if this is can someone confirm, all you need to do is the following to stop your own shares from being used in the shorting campaign.

In simple terms the way they can easily short a setts share is to place shares for sale on the bid, say 5p or 10p below the current bid. The setts programme will try and match this trade and thus lower the bid towards this level. As soon as it gets close they will either take the trade or pull it out and again place them a few pennies lower again thus keep on bringing the bid price down.

Now what can the average pi do to stop their own shares being shorted, as believe me your own broker, if approached, WILL sell your own shares that they hold on your behalf as a nominee account.

There is two things you can do, 1st is to certificate them but this is not obviously to everyones advantage but the 2nd option is simple. All you do is to phone your broker and put an order in saying that you wish to place your shares for sale at, for arguments sake, double the todays price. As they are 'on order' they cannot be lent out by your broker and in turn you are reducing the amount of 'free shares' out there that can be used for shorting purposes.

Although an individual pi will not normally have enough shares to halt a concerted shorting attack, if a large number of holders did this it would reduce the overall amount of shares that they could get their hands on.

In my opinion well worth doing if not only for the knowledge that your own shares cannot and will not be used in a short attack against the very share that you own.
