sharesure, i am none the wiser as i have no idea what a protected portfolio is? but good point in your second paragraph. it is upto us to not let idiots try to ruin this thread.

EWR - your comments -

Considering the price has been ramped since this - and they have NO orders for any machine conversions - is the real price therefore 4p ??

A trip down memory lane 2004-10-13 ???

Again on the upside, Stanelco edged up 0.25 to 4.37 after the company revealed its radio frequency (RF) sealing technology will be trialled for use in the tray-lidding machines at Oscar Mayer's food packaging operations.
If the trials are successful, the technology will enter into full-scale production across Oscar Mayer's entire range of tray-lidding machines in the UK.
Oscar Mayer, which supplies over 3 mln ready meals a week, has 30 tray-lidding machines in three locations in the UK.
And what happened next - nothing - they could not get orders from the food packagers direct - so tried to go above them and get someone to tell them to change - oh dear - must be something wrong with it maybe !!

Off Topic

To clarify as stated elsewhere - this computer is shared and many people use it - with auto log in - who knows who is accessing sites from this pc. I also have a wireless mast and anyone within a 150M radius could log on to the net. I have no control over where they visit or what they post when using this pc or connection - and the same can be said for many people using shared PCs with auto log in to web sites - happy now ? LOL

Up early today as a long drive this morning - the bad news is I am off to Israel for a few weeks soon - so you get a couple of weeks with no posts from me - but I will try my best to visit often during that time just in case you miss me too much.

Write up in the FT yesterday about Stanelco, anyone see it? Shares have got to have an article or two today. Finger crossed for a blue day, glorious morning here in London.

Frogpack.

11/05/2005 - A rugged, high-impact resistant packaging application has been developed for suppliers wanting to minimise breakage and waste during shipping and transporting.

Stanelco, the UK-based company behind the innovation, believes that the concept will take off because it taps into a key concern of both suppliers and retailers the protection of goods throughout the supply chain. In addition the packaging uses biodegradable material and uses less energy in the actual production process.
The company is in the process of trying to break into the lucrative US market.

Designed to withstand substantial punishment, Stanelcos FrogPack features a unique energy-absorbing design, combined with Cradlewrap, a biodegradable air-cushioning wrapping material that can be used within the containers.

This, says Stanelco, provides remarkably secure protection for goods that require shipping. The company claims that tests undertaken to challenge FrogPack's sturdiness have confirmed that highly fragile items such as glass champagne bottles dropped from a helicopter from as high as 200 feet in the air suffered no damage or signs of their fall.

Suppliers, increasingly squeezed due to rising freight costs caused in part by China's insatiable demand for raw materials and higher fuel costs, will be interested if cost savings are to be made. Shipping rates have risen 10 per cent to 25 per cent in the apst year, with rates from US to Asian ports rising by 12 per cent for refrigerated shipments and 11 per cent for dry shipments according to the USDA.

This trend looks set to continue. Oil prices struck $50 a barrel for the first time since November this week, prompting traders to forecast a return of the record prices seen last autumn.

"FrogPack can take a hard punch, said David Edwards, the inventor of FrogPack. Retailers will be impressed when they see how much punishment FrogPack absorbs.

The packaging is a superior alternative for protecting goods during shipping. "FrogPack's capability to protect, combined with its potential for reducing costs in packaging and shipping, is unlike anything currently in use in North America."

FrogPack utilises a unique technology called shock-absorbing arcuate panel technology (SAAP) for its added strength and protective qualifies. The technology, designed by Aquasol, a subsidiary of Stanelco, is already in use in the United Kingdom by a packager of lighting supplies and a packager of electronic components.

In addition to its ability to withstand high-impact punishment, FrogPack possesses environmentally attractive features that will be attractive to North American retailers. FrogPack can be either recycled or composted.

FrogPack's high-impact design means that the packaging, which can be manufactured on a customized basis, can be produced in smaller sizes, requiring less material and less energy in the actual production process.

"Eventually, we believe that FrogPack will replace padded envelopes and boxes that utilise polystyrene inserts and plastic air bubbles," said Edwards.

To acquaint retailers with FrogPack and attract distributors for the application, Stanelco is launching a multi-faceted marketing programme. Stanelco's North American rollout for FrogPack includes a direct sales effort, supplemented by direct mail, an aggressive publicity programme, demonstrations of FrogPack's durability and a presence at leading US retail trade shows.

"NEW YORK (AFX) -- Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the Bentonville, Ark., retailer, reported first-quarter earnings rose 14%, total sales rose 9.5%, and U.S. same-store sales rose 2.9%. Revenue and adjusted earnings missed the consensus analyst estimates. For the quarter ended April 30, the world's No. 1 retailer reported net income of $2.46 billion, or 58 cents a share, against $2.17 billion, or 50 cents, in the year-earlier period. Excluding special items, Wal-Mart earned 55 cents in the latest period. Sales reached $70.91 billion from $64.76 billion. Total revenue climbed to $71.68 billion from $65.44 billion. The consensus estimates of analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call were for earnings of 56 cents a share on revenue of $72.05 billion. Wal-Mart shares fell 12 cents, or 0.3 percent, to $48.60 on Wednesday."

MAINTENANCE is tacking place with the SEO sites at the moment.

Some ones stocking up 4m+ P trade at 1632

driver: 'P' trade - don't remember seeing that one. Is it the completion of a large order over a 'period'?

Thought of an excellent alias for you know whom - Don Quixote: tilting at windmills! Suggest future references should be to DQ to remind him of his futility?
