i appreciate the difference between SEO/MONI positions. i was merely making a point that it is dangerous to count chickens.
a lot of you guys who were smart enough to get in sub 6p or so are only going to see your profit slashed if SEO issues some bad news. others ( many of them ) have been buying well over 20p, so will lose a bundle.
i dont expect it to happen but in my 15 years share trading i have seen mega pain many, many times.
there are the super success stories as well.....the one that always aprings to mind is GIM ( geo interactive media , now BLZ). 20p to 35 in the relative blink of an eye.
come to think of it SEO is about 20p right now :o)))

Dog Day Evening
Well, here I am sitting in Terminal 2's finest pizzaria, having bribed the manager to stay open long enough to bake a quattro staggione after a gruelling first day of the Bnank holiday weekend traffic.
Christ, do we live in a banana republic - one of two eateries (will not disgrace the term restaurant) closes early because they've had a hard day! I did try the other one - WSeatherspoons, but beat a hasty retreat and ate large slice of humble pie, barely leaving room for the best (and the worst) pizza in Terminal 2.
Anyway, I anticipate the joys of airport shopping at Athens airport at 4.00am with mixed feelings, before being whisled by plane-smaller-than-bus-out-to-tarmac to the exotic isle of Rhodes - home of my ancient friend Colliesos. A gay jaunt you may surmise. Wrong! A sudden client requiring delicate and immediate attention under the glare of the Hellenic (nay, Ottoman) sun.
The best bit is that I shall probably avoid having to honour my promise to buy NLR when it fell to below 475. Do go and read the posts of the last several weeks - it's uncanny how scathing my thread(bare) colleagues were of what seemed like vain canine hutzpah at the time.
SEO was indeed a stout performer today and Tom Bulford of RHPS says he has not been able to talk to the CEO as planned because he has gone on a road trip for PR purposes - watch this SPace!
Until Tuesday, unless I sneak off to a shady internet taverna for a swift retsina-hazed lunch tomorrow.
Yassou.

What's this - posters flying all over the place: to get away from the election? sd flies to Rhodes by Termianl 2 pizzeria; driver flies to Donny via Spain; og hedging in Saudi; bos, well, just being bos and hitch-hiking to Morpeth. Knew Morpeth quite well but not your Hall - hospitable and canny people though.
I'm just flying in a relative way: not only have we relatives staying, but I'm meditating on the theory of relativity. Relatively to the market SEO has done rather well; in fact it has done splendidly. All we need is for the market generally to have a good day; OK, whistling in the wind you say. In the mean time,raise your glasses to relative strength. Just off to NLR to see how stockdog screwed them up!

.....and I am just off to Gatwick -'cos I live just round the corner = to mpick up some relatives - but then I will be staying home all over the bank holiday weekend decorating the bathroom. Somehow Rhodes sounds much more appealing - hope you get time to enjoy some of it 'cos its a wonderful place.

og, sorry i could not come back to you y'day. Of course China is actively looking to become more self sufficient on oil supplies-like everybody else. Big difference though between looking and finding economically viable deposits. With regard to OPEC production it is my view -shared by others- that OPEC is in no rush to produce more liquid gold as its reserves are no longer increasing.
A more feasible scenario is that that they will produce just about enough to obtain both highest possible prices without plunging world economies in a recession.
Please also note that the US$ has fallen by approx 25-30% versus the main currencies so the impact of crude at $50 p/bbl on non US economies is less severe than in the USA itself.

apparantly the nasdaq hit a low point so i guess tim freeborn's initial observation that
"along with the malaise affecting anything tech-related"
could explain todays drop.

Thats amazing, superrod! 4 out of 50 on the challenge portfolio are blue. May be because your across sectors: I see the FTSE100 is slightly up whereas AIM is down 5%. Most of us are the champions of the smaller, up and coming stocks! Perhaps they're all going! Apart from SEO that is!

That explains stockdog's trip to Rhodes - he has had a dogation from the Age of Reason Foundation of 10M shares on account of being cleverest dog of the year. Mind, he might have taken his masters and mistresses!
The SEO sp has held up well given the tricky m,arket and the advers balance of trades. Hopefully we will get the ASDA deal finally put to bed next week with some more positive noises.
