robinhood - thanks for your thoughts on oil, it'll be interesting to see what transpires later in the year.

I see that SEO is ticking up again after a slow start - should bode well for the rest of the day.

Stanelco PLC
29 April 2005


STANELCO PLC

Holding in Company

Stanelco plc, the RF (radio frequency) applications group, announces that it has
today been informed that on 29 April 2005 the Age of Reason Foundation has
gifted 10,000,000 ordinary shares (thus reducing its holding by that amount) and
is now interested in 217,078,122 ordinary shares, representing 24.62 per cent,
of the issued share capital of Stanelco.

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.

Gifted ?? Who would be the receipiant ?? I know who is not !!

I didn't see EWR post - now I know who the receipiant is .
p/271

i seem to remeber it is howard whites son who is the main man behind age of reason. could these shares be a gift to father for going to america to spread the gospel according to greenseal?

Probably to cover extra-curricula experiences while over there!

I think the point of the 10m gift might be not to whom, but that it reduced a 25.5% holding to less than 25% which is a significant number in stock owning terms, I think.

Ancient city of Rhodes looked stunning in the afternoon sun today. Generally a tough day's work I should say.

I would just like you all to know that some of us have to work this W/End that includes Monday.
Feeling sorry for myself again.

driver , you aint getting any sympathy from me. you've just had three months off work!!!!
not the best of weeks for seo but we shouldn't be too despondant as the sp was 17p a month ago!! we really should be used to this by now; bursts of excitement followed by a tranquil calm and nervous anticipation of the next rns.
everyone have a great weekend ( apart from driver:) ).

Bos
I expect that from the Mrs but not from you, "Thanks".

I am working all weekend! but not Monday.

Being bounced round half an island by a Rhodeo driver from 7.30am till lunch time is no way to spend a Saturday morning. Wall to wall meetings with half the islanders who claim to have been hired, but no one has ever met before, and a lot of Romans and Israelis also trying to get in on the act can also count towards stress levels of an afternnon. Travelling home by ponyjet via Athens is no way to spend a Sunday. Ah! the glamour of show biz - give me packaging any day, it's alot more profitable for a start.

But I am looking forward to a decent dinner tonight at a great fish restaurant in the old town. Might even smash a few plates.

To give SEO its due, it has been remarkably resilient in a nasty market thie last two weeks. Holding tight for next week.

See you all in Blighty on Tuesday

I visited the most amassing market today If you like your grub and you are in London you must visit Borough Market just south of London Bridge, exotic fruit, veg, cheese, sausages, salt beef, cakes, fish, and bread you have never seen before, expensive though one loaf was 7.20. I got to stop there my mouth is watering must go and have me dinner.

Interesting that it is the workers who are reporting so much fun! What with Rhodes and Borough market, what more do you want. Remionds me we never did find out what stockdog does for a living. he said that he was the only one in Europe who does this particular job. Now we can perhaps detect that it si to do with show business - hiring extras? Any other ideas? The winner may even be employed by him!

Agree that SEO has shown great resilience this week: it was particularly good to see the support at 20p. Could well move ahead with market, although I've got this negative feeling about the FTSE. Better to have a nive joicy RNS, please!

Eric

stockdog: that means you are bound to be at the screen on Monday - noticed that you found plenty of time to keep in touch despite the attractions of Rhodes. Would appreciate it if you would take a good look at ITR (Interregnum) - see ASOS Challenge and ITR BBs. Think you will be interseted and would appreciate your perspective. Hope you found bones, kennel and mistress all OK on return (in order of priority)!

re SEO: Monday would have been good start with recovery on Dow - lets hope it carries through on Monday.

Interesting post from esmerelda elsewhere - copied here for info / discussion.


Taken verbatim from May 2005 SmallCapShares Magazine (by RedSky Research) that arrived this morning. (In the interests of fair play I have posted this once to both the ramp and deramp threads and will make no further comment).

Revenues: under 10m; market cap: 170m; conclusion : clear

Stanelco, the movie, may be worth 170m, but Stanelco, the company, is not. The company has now finalised arrangements for Asda to adopt its tray-lidding technology, and it quickly thereafter appointed two US companies to commence installing it in the USA. These developments sent the shares up to 21p and the market capitalisation to nearly 180m.

Momentum may take the shares further, but at some point punters may pause to considerthat although the revenue arising from the Asda deal will be significantly in excess of 5m in the first year, it will only be the tiniest fraction of 180m. And the total company income to which this project will be added was just 1.3m in the 12 months to last October.

Stanelco has several other intriguing development projects, but none of them come anywhere close to underwriting the current share price.

Stanelco came very close to being our first 10-bagger (generating 1,000 pc profit). We firsat bought it at 2.4 in October 2002, but we got a bit wobbly about it just before Christmas when it was drubbed in a patent infringement suit just after the chief executive sold 41m shares at 4p (collecting 1.6m and thereby forgoing a further 7m he could have pocketed by hanging on for a few months hindsight is a wonderful thing). These developments led us to dump Stanelco at 4p (we allowed generously for the spread in this penny share). However, one angst-ridden month later, the Asda project and a couple of other positive factors having emerged, we did a U-turn and bought them again at 5.5p. Which puts us 260pc to the good in four months. You need one of those every now and again. Neat work. Lets hope this is too: SELL.

In the subsequent Newsflow tables it comments:
1 month risers Stanelco +29pc Asda signs up for new technology. Massively overvalued in our opinion. SELL
6 month risers Stanelco +430pc From clapped out to incredible optimism. See above.

Keep up this is old stuff.

01:17 he only comes out at night, sad.

driver - I thought it was an interesting piece of reading in post 3521 -

Going back to the 24th March RNS where it states "The 12-month agreement will commence from the first Monday following two weeks of further successful trials with three ASDA suppliers. This is expected to be in April. These commercial trials are in addition to the completed trial" - Well April is gone and we only get an AGM update saying all is well - well - it cannot be - nobody in their right mind would say "April" in an RNS unless they thought it would surely be - and now the target is missed - meaning either April was pure ramp and spin - or there are now problems which are delaying everything.

The KBC Peel report on the 22nd of April states "forgetting the other business then Stanelco needs in place 1000 machine conversions to support the current 22p price" and even their optimistic forecast does not show 1000 machines by 2009. We also need to remember the AGM statement clearly did not mention the other business of Stanelco - Why ? Their core business is RF Furnaces - and no mention.

Given EVO stated in their earlier report "we expect a stream of licences coming through in April" - they will have to re write their report now, given nothing came through in April.

IMO - Interim reporting will potentially be very bad and a big loss - as half year end has gone now - being the 30th April 2005.

The recent share moving "gifting" is another sure sign that troubles lie ahead - you do not give to sell if you know things are going well.

The key pointer in the coming months before Interim reporting will be a share dilution (extra shares issue to raise money) if this happens its a sign to get out - and if it does not then you would have to be brave to hold just before the Interims are published.

For a glorious moment I thought that insiderinsider had nothing to say - then I noticed that I have him on squelch lol!

From a personal perspective I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt from your earlier posts and that you just may, (only just mind you) have been attempting to give both sides of the story. Afterall, it is true that most investors will only ever want to hear good news as opposed to bad and your views would never be welcome. Having said all of that, it is now clear you are either shorting SEO or have other reasons for posting the same negative material time after time. I generally have good reserves of patience, but where you are concerned, it has run out. I have joined the rest of the board and activated the 'squelch' button, (the first time I have used this facility). Please don't bother replying, you have bored me enough, and anyway I won't be able to read whatever you post!
