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.

PTH

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

My point is the packers wouldn't tell SEO to go away would they.

I have been in since .0395p, topped up 10 times, 135% up and theres no way I would be selling at this stage, we have seen it high and then to drop back but the moving average has always been up. This is a chill out stock, go on holiday or sit on your hands.

morning all. driver, 06.14? did you oversleep this morning? :)

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

Anybody got a copy of todays times? Talk of a tie up with tetra-pak apparently..

I think its also strange that BPRG has also been rising kile SEO.

wilbs

Morning all. Looks likely to test 30pps again today

From iii.

"Talk of a tie-up with Tetra-Pak on its Frogpack packaging helped Stanelco, up 1p at 28p."

wilbs

that i tried to sell 1m shares yesterday but missed at 30p, and the MM just called my broker and asked if i still wanted the same trade today.. intresting

morning

wilbs , i noticed the hile in bprg , too. i was wondering if they had reached an out of court settlement? great news, if true , about frogpack/ tetrapak tie up. ssanebs, 1m shares? nearly as many as driver!!!!

Excuse me if I'm missing something here, but looking at the quote in post 4407 (full article link post 4400), doing the calculations with the figures provided ie 55,000 x 25,000 machines, gives them revenue of between 748,000,000 and 946,000,000 (depending on whether the 55,000 is dollars or euros) a year, within three years. Have i misread it or done the sums completely wrong?!

frampton , that's the dream. but it is possible!

Bring it on!

I posted the link. The figures are supposedly quoted from Howard White. The price quoted is $55,000 per machine and the targer is 25000 machines in 3 years. I was a bit stunned myself. Obviously walmart are on board.
It all seems too good to be true, which is why I posted on this board where you seem to have some resident experts.

18/05/2005 - A former UK manufacturing company has found another use for its radio frequency technology sealing plastic tray packages of perishable food for supermarkets, retailers and grocers.

When used with the modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) method, Stanelcos Greenseal heat-sealing technology is cheaper, better for the environment and helps ensure that perishable foods are safer for the consumer, said the companys deputy chief executive officer, Howard White.
Greenseal provides the tightest, most efficient seal available in packaging anywhere in the world, he said. This is the Holy Grail for tray packaging.

Stanelco has already launched the product in the UK in a partnership with the ASDA supermarket chain. This week the company opened an office in Orlando, Florida. The company plans to target ASDAs parent company, Wal-Mart, along with Albertson's, Kroger's and Safeway.

The MAP method works by replacing the air with a mixture of inert gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen. The package is then heat sealed. The low-oxygen mix extends the shelf-life of the meat, vegetables and other perishable foods by up to 15 days from the normal five days.

However, typical MAP heat-seal processing results in about two per cent of the packaged food not being sealed properly, resulting in wasted food, or worse, food that may have gone bad before its stated shelf-life.

Stanelcos radio frequency technology cuts the leaky package problem down to less than one per cent of those processed using MAP, White said.

Current heat-sealing methods for plastic tray packaging uses a polyethylene laminate as a glue to make the seal, typically at between 150-160 Celsius. Stanelcos Greenseal method does away with the laminate and welds the two sides of the package together at 50 Celsius using radio frequencies.

The method results in a 20 per cent reduction in the cost of packaging material and a 75 per cent reduction in the cost of energy used in the process, White said.

With the other heat sealing method the two surfaces remain as two, he said. Using our method the two surfaces become melded as one surface resulting in a tighter seal.

Since there is no glue used in the process, the mono plastic package can now be easily recycled, he said. The Greenseal method can also be used on tinfoil packaging but needs a polyethylene laminate to make the seal.

Under its agreement with ASDA, Stanelco will retrofit 100 heat-sealing machines used by the chains suppliers of meat, vegetables and other perishables. In the US, Stanelco has hired Premier Technology to retrofit heat-sealing machines for customers.

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.
