Hey folk! I've hit on a super strategy. Buy SEO CFD's. Price rises so you're in credit, then you buy some more. And so on! Each buy piggy backs on the last rise! So did just that this morning with another 100K at 6.625p - and blue index even got inside the spread for the first time! I like the Evolution target of 10p which I suspect could be hit on the results, or, more likely, the forecasts. Is there anything you can post ssanebs? My own target is 12.5p which puts them around 100K cap. which is where PDX are now although behind SEO in coming to market. The advantage of having a decent analyst/broker. Great to have sandrew on board - I know she's not St Andrew but her blessing is another step forward!

SEO a Buy in Shares today: "Expect big news flow this year on radio beam plastic sealing technology orders". Maybe Evolution do have more of a role, which is needed. Better having the devil on your side than against you!

Eric

Moved to "overweight" on SEO but can you be overweight with these charts? Interesting that price has come back a tad today despite predominant buys; but I've long since stopped being surprised at the MMs antics. My holding is beginning to challenge my ASCs; its good to have a bit of competition. Also bought into MDW (Mediwatch) today (in preference to PDX) - the charts emulate SEO which is something.

Eric

Thanks for the welcome guys....but hang on the price was meant to go up when I joined in.

dont worry sandra, seo never moves anywhere in a straight line.good to see shares re recommending seo as a buy this week . would be nice if they gave it more coverage or am i being selfish?

most are being cautious until the trials have finished in a few weeks and if endorsed by asda then you will some real positive comments and tipped on every newsletter.Cardinals investment gives enough confidence for me.

There has already been positive feedback from Asda which I recall is what led them into the more serious trial phase. The orders already in place on both sides of the Atlantic indicate that the risk of failure is pretty low. The way I look at it is that if there is no perceived risk then the price would already be much higher and there would be less to go for. So I'm happy that the sp has been held back until now to allow me to get in! Thank you, folk.

I agree, Bosley. Some of the stuff recommended amazes me when there are a number of terrific opportunites around. But then I missed the August Play; easy to dismiss something as dull, or dangerous, or dubious, without considering it seriously. On the whole, the shares being promoted on these columns are more interesting because investors/traders have put in a lot of work rather than having a week to explore a number of situations and then move on. I got some really inciteful answers to my queries earlier this week, for instance. So well done, us!

Eric, I think the problem is really down to people linking it to packaging where it has been difficult to make serious money. You may have read that I work in packaging. Years ago I spent time on meat packing lines, most of which are old, there are problems with product contamination affecting sealing, variable and poor heatsealers and issues with packaging materials. I havn't been involved for years thank God but sod all has changed really. New machines cost the earth so retrofits even at 40k each and 35kpa royalties are cheap as this will transform old machines and deliver savings whilst improving pack quality. SEO are only selling technology so no later exposure to polymer prices and retailer pressure on suppliers. SEO might not be exploring for oil/gold or diamonds but this technology could reap just as good rewards.
I feel that we have to take advantage of sp now, when cc behind us and deals start to be announced it will move quickly, 10p minimum but 50p possible?
Good Luck to us all and to MDW where we have a shared interest, another one set to motor this year, luckily I got in at 8.35p last week. Any further weaknesses with SEO and I will probably be unable to resist!!

Yeah! I feel its been a good week with the stakes built up in SEO (overweight) and MDW (average but could well become overweight too). With SEO, my head says its a winner (excellent fundamentals and charts); my heart says tis a winner (seem nice people in the company and on the thread); my guts say its a winner (a reall good, old fashioned gut instinct). A triple whammie! Can't do better than that!

I'm in also, Eric (see CFP thread).....

Last year's finals were on 15th Jan. Anyone aware of this year's date?

Eric

Prelims 23/2/2005 Sharescope quotes this but it is probably finals, judging by last year.

Nice to read sensible posts ( even those of opposing views) instead of the utter childish rubbish posted on some competative sites.

Once again Tesco/Asda are in a price war.. We all know this is for one reason only to increase market share. According to the latest figures Tesco once again increased their share percentage of the market. Who can doubt that WHEN the first deal is signed prob'ably with Asda the others will have no option but to follow. The signing of the first full deal, will be like the opening of the flood gates. The only problem I can see in the near future will be Seo struggling to keep up with demand. Thats a problem we all can live with.

Welcome aboard greekman, yes sensible posts here (at present), I think the price will rise but if you read previous posts there is the court case with BPRG to also get sorted, that has gone quiet as we are awaiting BPRG to assess what damages they are claiming... Don't think there will be signicant rise until this case is out of the way.

AdieH.. Thanks, been following SEO closely for about a year. Aware re the court case ect. Came to this board from a rival due to the afore-mentioned rubbish being posted. I dont think anyone knows the full outcome re the costs/damages ect, although i think a big slice has been put into the share price. I dont think the outcome at its worst can be too bad allowing for the sensible account i think the court will take,within the constraints of costs/damages allowed. (Hope i read it right). As to the price war ect, retail analysts (2) on BBC this am both stated that the only potential danger to Tesco's market hold could come from Asda (Wallmart) so if Asda do the first deal anyone doubt that within a few months Tesco would follow. Both analysts put Tesco's market lead down to them being first in all inovations. As to SEO package sealing they may have to follow and not lead for a change.

This was in todays Daily Express

Stanelco was unchanged yesterday (17/01/05) at 6.37p despite repeat Buy advice from Evolution Securities. The broker said it saw scope for massively upgrading its profit forecast for Stanelco, which is testing its new system for sealing plastic containers.

I think this stock is starting to hot up.

Link re food packaging (starch). Seo not mentioned but interesting all the same.
http://www.foodproductiondaily.com/news/news-ng.asp?n=57351-future-of-starch

Re the above. Posted due to the benefit for Seo when biogradeable packaging really takes off, (and it will).. Seo for the sealing products.

For those war'y of opening links i will post the gist of thje article if requested.

greekman

Please don't post the article the Link works fine.

just a thought about yestedays announcement. can we expect this retired employee to cash in his options?

Stanelco PLC
17 January 2005


Stanelco Plc

Today announces the issue of 871,080 ordinary shares of 0.1p each representing
0.10% of the issued capital.

These shares have been issued to a retired employee under the Enterprise
Management Incentives Share option scheme at an exercise price of 2.87p.

An application has been made to the London Stock Exchange and the UK Listing
Authority for these shares to be admitted to the official list.

Dealings are expected to commence on 20 January 2005

anway, price has been holding nice and steady for a while now, staying above the 50ma for two months plus. dont know much about charts but that surely is a good thing. 200ma has turned up, too. could do with a good solid positive announcement now.

I don't know whether some of you are in PDX or follow it, but had my knuckles rapped on that site because I kept comparing the share unfavourably with SEO! There are a number of parallels between the two companies, with SEO further ahead in terms of product to market. What is ridiculous is that the cap. of PDX is twice that of SEO. I have also come to the conclusion that the sp of PDX is quite reasonable and have taken an exploratory stake - analyst forecast acceptable of price doubling. So where does that leave SEO - at least 4 times undervalued! Now, no one likes Evolution, do they, but they are no fools; and they are saying that their previous price target of 10p is far too low. The sp will be, and I have a number of CFDs which agree with me (!), 20p by the year end (probably much sooner). If that makes me a ramper (never been accused of that before!) so be it. Conclusion is that all of us should be overweight in SEO. Lets face it, the court case is peanuts compared with the value of the business coming through. What is the conclusive argument? The royalties! 40K to buy the machine and then 30K per annum royalties. PER ANNUM! In year 2, add pretty well the value of sales in year 1 to the sales in year 2. In year 3, add pretty well the value of sales in year 1 and the value of sales in year 2 to the sales in year 3. We mathematicians have a word for it - it is EXPONENTIAL. I promise not to ramp the share again for at least a week! But you chaps and chapesses showed me the value of the share - you must act on your beliefs!

Having said all that, I am really quite enthusiastic about the prospects!
