Apart from the IC comment on 10th June 05 mentioned in an earlier post its good to look at the past and see what happened then. Stanelco has a lot in the past promised everything and delivered very little on those promises IMO its more a romantic story a fairy tale that keeps recycling itself lots of promise latest wonder product fund raising by issuing more shares and in the end nothing and back again.

Take a read of a 2002 report

It would also be interesting to look at the early days of some of the FT100 shares: no doubt you could go back to the early days of Tesco, HSBC, etc and laugh at the aspirations of the management. In my own industry, IBM as a punched card company immediately post-war or Microsoft prior to their contract with IBM around 1980. Hmm! Microsoft's contract with IBM compared with SEO's contract with ASDA, then Wal-Mart. The parallel is technological leadership in a major market sector. 'Cometh the hour cometh the man'.

Eric - Good post. I liked the reference to Tesco's early days, even I wouldn't use them in my early working years when money was short!!!!!
lol to all holders.

A big hello to all lurkers and welcome to your support for the kind of thread this used to be.

Sequestor - try to be helpful - like with a bit of substantiation for your reckless remarks. BTW, what on earth leads you to suppose anyone has the majority of his investment in one share - bit of a conclusion to jump to, n'est-ce pas?

Eric, don't want to start a lengthy correspondence on this one (a la Anomalous and Wendy's ding-dong over on NML - streuth! Seq. you might well enjoy that one.), but I was brought up on "Cometh the bone, cometh the dog" - what sort of master are you? Honey may well have a view on this issue - perhaps you could help with her response.

And yes, I once had a marketing system based on punched cards and knitting needles, NOT so long ago. Perhaps, "Cometh the chip, cometh the pin" is more pertinent to Microsoft (or as they say on Corrie - "Cometh the chip, cometh the pan"!).

lol

Good gosd - if we are in remonisce mode - I also remember the punch cards as a mainframe programmer on an IBM 360/30. Ther is more memory in my watch than we had in those days with those colossul beasts. I ended my days as Technical Support Manager for one of the big FTSE 100 insraance companies - and the power in those beasts was immemse.

C'est la vie

blimmy baza your a bit young, what about one of these.

I will add that stuff thanks when I got a bit of time.

Stockdog-this is what prompted me- words like `major`, `holdings`,`500k`, seem to suggest that one share is fairly paramount.

I am a lurker and have read this thread with much interest since January.
I do not post and but I do have over 500k invested in SEO - it is one of my major holdings - but I am not an expert investor.
--------------------

I never thgt. that one day superr and I would be in the same camp, or at least in adjacent huts, caution is thrown to the wind when emotion enters into share dealing/trading or even holding.

Is fairly paramount a bit like slightly unique?

half a million quid and not an expert? What a gambler!

Hi All,

IMVHO, ASDA will take Starpol 2000 as soon as Biotec is part of the Stanelco group.

Also IMVHO, ASDA will then tell suppliers to get converted to both ASAP, so that ASDA can have at least 6 months to advertise the new biodegradable, better sealed, lower cost packaging, and try to race ahead of Tesco, before the Exclusivity expires next May.

Tesco and all the other grocers, could get their suppliers to order Greenseal with Starpol 2000, anytime before ASDA's exclusivity expires next May, and Stanelco could have a nice queue built up, of thousands of machines to convert starting next May. Stanelco could also prepare the machines, manufacture the heads and power supplies, ready to do a fast track rollout.

Then watch the S.P ....

Andy, I see you will sell some shares next year, but I would wait until a few weeks after the exclusivity expires before doing so. You may not have to sell quite as many for your trip to Aus that way :)

Cheers,

I was referring to one poster, however I doubt if he is unique % wise in having one " pet" share in the majority- that is a bit like--

"Majority

greater in number or size or amount; "a major portion (a majority)"

"He who dares too much usually loses"

William Hill.

Hi All,

I would not take much notice of IC, they never seem to get it right anyway, and when I first started work at the Stockbrokers, I picked up a copy of IC, and as I did so I was told by the head of research, "don't buy anything they recommend or you will lose money"

Nuff said ....

Cheers,,

Hi All,

I guess 'soon' would be a good time for ASDA to tell the world of their plans for Greenseal and Starpol 2000 ....

Asda prices 'still the cheapest'
11 June 2005

Asda retains its crown as the UK's cheapest supermarket ahead of rival Tesco, according to new research.

The chain came out top in trade magazine The Grocer's annual report based on the cost of household items bought at each of the major stores.

Overall, goods bought at all supermarkets are 0.5% lower than when the survey was first launched eight years ago.

A basket of 33 products bought by The Grocer's mystery shoppers cost an average of 37.30 compared with a 37.50 price tag for virtually the same items bought in 1997.

The Grocer 33 survey was carried out weekly over the past year. The shopping basket's contents were changed 10 times during that period, with Asda coming out cheapest for eight of those 10.

This was backed up by an additional weekly comparison of 100 mystery products which was launched in July.

Asda again came out cheapest at an average 167.60 per basket compared with Tesco at 170.64, Morrisons at 174.23, Sainsbury's at 177.91, Somerfield at 189.14 and Waitrose at 192.14.

But the basket of 100 goods is more expensive now than it was last July at each of the stores except Sainsbury's, where the price has dropped by 2.5%, according to The Grocer.

Andy Bond, president of Asda, said he was "thrilled" the store had been named cheapest for the eighth year running.

He said: "As the only holder of the title, there's no better proof that Asda's commitment to Britain's lowest prices is unshakeable."

Cheers,

Hi All,

Will Biotec belong to Stanelco next week ?

I think so, because all major shareholders will have given their blessing ASAP, and small P.I votes won't be needed.

It could even be announced Monday.

Cheers,
PM
