I did not expect to be able to buy in again at less than 20p - so have just taken out another CFD. Wish I had learnt about CFD's earlier on this one.

PS - I understand that spread betting is practically identical to CFD's - except that you do not pay CGT on your "winnings".
Anyone out there care to comment please on the pros and cons of spread betting v CFD's

Many thanks

The price is creeping up again -

Dog Thoughts For A (mostly) Blue Day

The constant minute by minute analysis of the SP can, I feel, sometimes obscure the month by month progress we have made and are going to make.

On the iceberg principle, it is extremely unlikely that EK is the only one of his kind out there on this share - just the one who enjoys his time in the sun (not to say the NOTW!). It's all part of the vast market to which the sum of investments on this thread are a mere flea bite (and I know what I'm talking about here! - someone scratch behind my ear for me - aaahhh, that's better). I see no merit in any personal animosity to him - he cannot for long govern the SP, since he does not run the business.

Anyone selling stock they actually own, may simply have achieved their price objective over the term they set, and be on to their next trade. There are many who could arrive at this conclusion without in anyway being silly or wrong - 4p to 20p in 6 months and 14p to 20p in 2 months are both extremely acceptable gains, so why not. There may be a few silly, or nervous, investors, selling to take the profit, scared that the price may fall back, but no considered, informed selling of this share means any lack of faith in its future performance. It merely means they have another preference to put their money into.

The only real decision is for those wishing to invest (more) or those deciding to hold or sell. Ignoring history (other than as an illustration that the business has developed along well-managed lines - I mean ignore the history of the shareprice) here, now, today does investing at 20p promise a) a safe place to put your money where you won't lose it, b) an acceptable rate of return over your chosen time scale, c) a better prospect in terms of a) and/or b) than anywhere else you could put your hard earned money?

The fundamentals are good, the management is capable, the product is an essential modern replacement to a universally embedded need. I am happy with the 16% allocation of my portfolio to SEO. Had I more resources I would add more pro rata, even possibly upping this to a 20% allocation, no higher. Having none, I do not feel inclined, for example, to sell my stagnant gold shares (this now boring hedge against the continuing decline of the US$ and the reversal of the DOW and FTSE sometime later this year/decade, will seem exhilarating enough when its time comes to serve its purpose) to chase SEO higher. I rest content here, where my personal greed/fear ratio is in balance.

Remember, buy the business not the share. Leave some profit for the next person. Plan the trade and trade the plan.

Beware the cry of the revolutionary investor - "Convinceremos!"

As ever, a pleasure to chart (whoops! I mean chat) with you all.

Excellent post SD.

SD you are inspiration - with same thoughts I added 100k this morning at just under 20p and now that is about 22% of my total outlay - best wishes.

The spread is getting very tight now, a bit more buying pressure and it looks as though we're set to blast out of the blocks again.

Because the MMs didn't get too many shares back on the short lived retracement this morning they could well end up scrabbling for shares again over the next couple of days :-)

Hope so overgrowth, topped up with a few more, wish I had the funds of pension271!!

Who needs coronation street when you can come on this board and watch the "stanelco sitcom" and have much more fun.Seriously though, are stanelco going to be able to cope with demand i.e. new products, if things really take off.Does anyone know how many staff they employ and how quickly new engineers e.t.c. can be trained to fit an expanding workload,because without rapid expansion and turnover will shareholders become impatient.

Pisces, what makes the last announcements so good is that they don't need to employ more people to roll this out across the pond, they have agreements with large engineering companies who already have the staff in place to do this. This allows faster roll-out of Greenseal without the cost of employing 50-100 engineers worldwide with all their salaries/pensions/expenses etc.
We thought the Asda RNS would wake people up and were not expecting progress in US to be worked on for a while but clearly SEO management are putting everything in place for adoption in US/Canada/Mexico, Walmarts territory, Walmart own Asda. Swap Coronation Street for Who Wants to be a Millionaire!!! I won't be, as I don't have large funds but nonetheless I expect holding shares in SEO will significantly change my life within the next 2-5years.

I now this is tempting fate - but no sells for over an hour now !

And you can put it in an ISA!

pisces, the last two announcements should have answered your questions.

The question has been asked is SEO this years ASOS. No, it will be better, why?
ASOS was successful last year and will be successful despite a temporary blip recently. This was because they didn't sort out warehousing in advance of growth and ended up with discounted sales in January/February.
SEO are putting things in place in advance and in the next year we should see a significant roll-out of Greenseal in UK/Ireland with Asda and no doubt soon in US. In addition there are all the other products plus the key point is that with RF, once retrofitted there are recurring revenues guaranteed each year and more and more each year.

I guess that impatient shareholders will inevitably pisces off - thus becoming ultimately self-fulfilling and lending credence to astrological charts.

Question: Why does everyone want the price of something they might buy to go up so fast?

SD

I don't know SD, all too often WE all get into something to late to make good profit. The point that we have been trying to make is that there is a chance here to be in at the start of something that could be very big. Some of us lucky ones were in at 4-6p but 20p is still cheap for the future.

Because a terrible terrorist attack could knock out a major stock exchange or paralyse a major european/american city?
Because a tidal wave could engulf London or New York?
Because there are corporate scandals and bear shorters around every corner?
Because of the threat posed to world financial institutions by the chinese currency?
etc.etc.
The investor has become jittery and wants quick profits because no one knows what tomorrow may bring.Moving your money around quickly from one rave stock to the next is more exciting than sitting for years watching the same shares slowly move upwards.
It is hard to put small cap shares into a portfolio and leave it to mature for five years,for example without taking profits.
The stockmarket ,like the internet,is full of gamblers out to make a quick buck,and if you can avoid paying taxes the better it is!!!

pisces
I take it that doesn't apply to me I watch Eastenders. I won't be pisceing off I must be the most unimpatient shareholder going I have held these for 3 years and dnx for about 13.
sd, can you make it shorter next time I thought I was reading a book.

The problem is if you do sell you can't post on this board and this is more fun than going to work (I hate work).

So Andysmith we agreee - 20p is a great price to buy/be in for the next mid to long term period (however you personally estimate that), but not for the short term I think anymore. In fact, I am rather relying on many many investors and institutions buying in here and higher, so that my holding goes up in value.

Whilst, in an understated and considered way, saying that SEO is a fabulous business and therefore investment prospect, I was also making the point that personal circumstance is equally imperative to the investment making decision process. I am truly happy having so much money invested in such a good opportunity. But I can neither invest more myself, nor criticise today's sellers for we each have our personal circumstance to respond to.

Ethel - lighten up for God's sake. Of course it's hard. Of course we're all gonna die. We're just trying to make the short span allotted to each of us materially more comfortable - it's not a religion!
