eric , actually it was your competition that has finally hammered home the most important message of running your winners. because you didnt allow any trading after a certain date i am well up and top of your league. in moneyam comp i am doing crap because the timing of my trades is upside down. so , yes, i have kept my cfd open from last friday!!!!( but i have to admit to having the phone in my hand and actually dialing barclays but hung up before they answered.) in the real world i am flying, in your comp i am doing great, in the moneyam comp i am doing bobbins. 2 out 3 ain't bad, as the fat one said!!

Not administrative efficiency, but all to do with LSE regulations. Trades greater than the NMS are permitted to be reported with a certain delay. Can't remember the exact rules, but no doubt avaialble for the interested on the LSE Website.
Must go out and play golf more often (ie, more than four times a week!). The SP certainly had a real spurt on up to 1030ish, although not surprising to see profit taking. I would imagine there are an awful lot of investors sitting on significant profits who will be agonising over when to sell, and no doubt many already have and others will do so. To keep the run going, new investors will have to be convinced to buy at what may be considered an elevated value; a bullish RNS to confirm the rumours will provide the necessary impetus. Personally, I do not think that RNS will be much delayed and I certainly have my own target for the SP in mind.
Regards to all

"I have never been waterskiing but I reckon buying `shares in Stanelco will provide a similar experience. There may be a few bumps along the way but the experience should be exhilarating."
kind of sums up this year so far!!!!!!

ladies and gentlemen
I thought i'd do the decent thing and advise you that due to imminent house move and raising the necessary capital, i will be selling my shares in SEO. This is going to really piss me off as I am up nearly 70% and was looking forward to the double bubble. Alas I feel this will not happen unless I hold out for a few more weeks.
So there we go, this was only meant to be a share whereby I would have been happy with a return of more than 5% (the same as ING savings), but it has grown into an obsession. highs and lows and all thats gone on in between.
Rest assured, if I can keep hold of these beauties, then I will.
adios

A sad loss we will miss you sell half, this board is littered with people that have come and gone to a big financial loss to their pocket.

I agree there are an awful lot of investors sitting on significant profits who will be agonizing over when to sell, but they should be aware this has happened many times before only to see them jump back in again at a higher price, andy, Di, even baza have all been out and then back in. Investors should go over it again read the Research Page; this stock hasn't even got going yet. Retailers are in tough times demanding more and more from there packers, the packers cannot keep cutting there prices they have more energy cost with the high price of oil feeding through to them they are looking in all directions for savings they have even got (please turn the lights out when not in use, posted every where) then a long comes SEO's New technology. What would the packers tell them to do, go away, no, the packers want it, they are crying out for it?
Put theses shares in the draw and come back in two years, FTSE 100 here we come

Driver,
Not really sure what you mean by this comment:
"What would you do tell them to go away, the packers want it, they are crying out for it?"
Tell who to go away?
The point I was making is that some investors who have made a good profit on this stock will sell and be reasonably or even very happy with their decision. Some will never even look back. To ensure SP momentum there will have to be news flow to stimulate interest and entice new investors, hopefully we will see further news in the very near future.
As far as SEO are concerned, I think their technology is extremely exciting and I have great faith (my money is where my faith is) in the prospects of the company. FTSE100 in two years, maybe five! If that comes to pass my mortgage will be paid up and a handy sum hidden away in the retirement fund.

Cut your losses and let your profits run with your eyes wide open for the ditches and fences.

Driver, I've never been OUT at all on this one, if you remember I took advantage of the CGT week and EK attack to sell a %age and buy back at a lower price. Increase your holding for nowt!! No intention of selling this yet on decent profit for me. Upside potential is far higher than a few grand lost from substantial profits IF I ever had to sell in a hurry which IMO is unlikely.
Those who have made good profits and need to sell, well done, we all have our own priorities, I've taken profits elsewhere this year for things I needed to do but SEO has much further to go, MMG had run out of steam but I did all right out of it and as its crumbled away I'll have some more of them again soon ready for the next run on the sp. Great parallel with SEO, so much potential BUT along way from earnings hence <100p to 300p on promising news and back again, luckliy I bought at 69-71p and sold for 270p!! I can't see that happening to SEO though, potential is already real and the packaging WORLD markets are ready for the products that they have developed.

Good morning.
I extracted the following quote from an article in a European Food magazine.
The quote is from Howard White.
Can the numeracy experts calculate whay this would mean for the sp please?
Stanelco will charge retailers about $55,000 (55,000) per machine a year for use of the technology. There are about 50,000 sealing machines in the UK, North America and Europe currently using the MAP method.
The company hopes to get its technology on about half of those machines over the next three years, White said. The company will target the UK and North American markets before moving into Europe. MAP is a growth market in the supermarket category, he said.

Not posted on this thread before, so hello everyone. Reading the buy/hold
debate with interest, set stop/losses while i played golf, which was triggered.
Somewhat upset to have sold at 28.4p at this moment of time, however my past
experiences have taught me that some top slicing is the prudent thing to do
( to many times i have lost, a great paper profit in hanging on for more).
Sold 20% at a nice profit, so can't be to hard on myself. For what its worth
imo there is more today to be had on the strength of the rumour, however
come Monday unless it true (which i doubt) some retraction will take place.
I still hold the other 80% and happy to do so, as like most i believe this is
one to give me a comfortable retirement in the not to distant future.
regards cyril
