Small Caps: Round-up of big-moving small companies

■ News that Robert Boardman, formerly finance director at Durlacher and Altium Capital, had joined Stanelco as its finance director raised investor's interest on Tuesday. Mr Boardman's previous experience with Durlacher where he oversaw a major equity issue led to speculation that Stanleco, 1.5 per cent lower at 8p, is planning a similar rights issue. Stanelco has adapted radio frequency technology to food packaging. Trials with Asda are running currently and five other companies are rumoured to be interested. Stanelco denied it was looking for a rights issue and said Mr Boardman would help take the company through its current stage of development and help to release its full potential.

hello again driver( miss moneypenny) . well well, never mind . slightly down at the end. but tremendous volume. i see someone else picked up on the potenial rights issue possibilty. personally i wouldnt have too big a problem with it . seo may need more money to cope with possible demand. lets see what tomorrow brings.

Those were some serious buys this afternoon, sp dropped to facilitate this?
I want to top-up but when? Sins of working in Packaging mean visiting customer in Deutschland Weds/Thurs, what will I come back to? However, don't really give a shit, better this than worrying about my portfolio like last year!!! If it goes up, great, if it goes down on profit-taking its top-up time. Keep looking at the sums from Shares mag which Bosley posted and I have banged on about several times, potential is frightening. This is just the start.

I have never known so many people to get so excited about a lowly packaging company!!! Is it the second coming or something?? I have some SEO but I have doubts about it rising anything more than two or three times the sp that it is currently. A rights issue would NOT be good for the sp - and any issue would have to be weighty as there is already a huge 780,000,000 shares in issue. I think thay may do quite well - BUT - they are not yet in profit / they have a court case overhang and poss costs of 180K to pay / It is a full moon (not relevant but about as scientific as some of the posts in this thread!) Enjoy

Poverty, the point is SEO are not a lowly packaging company.
They are a technology company and in this particular instance are licensing this to a much needy meat packaging industry and their masters, the retailers.
Things always do well when there is a need and this has many advantages, reduced costs/lower waste/lower taxes.

poverty,
" I have some SEO but I have doubts about it rising anything more than two or three times the sp that it is currently. "
you have doubts about seo rising anything more than two or three times the sp? if it does then for me that would ,in fact, be the second coming!!!!!i mean , there are loads of shares out there that have this obvious possibility.its so easy to double or treble your money. yes , seo are blue sky , but the blue skies are a hell of a lot closer for seo than a full moon. we all know the downside.nobody has forgotten the cc with bprg, but , as has been said many times before, the packaging side of seo , the technology , is 100% safe from the patent dispute. the company has confirmed this and seo have also said that the packaging side is what the company will be focused on in the future. the price has doubled from the recent low. a new coo and fd have recently been appointed. deals are being signed and trials are going well.its all good.

As a shareholder the one thing I'd really like to know about this company is how to pronounce it.

Stannel-ko

Very interesting catching up on the last 20 posts after a day away in the big smoke. I am one of those with a tendency to stress the positive when I have a significant holding - after all, I am a holder so I have come to the conclusion that the positives outweigh the negatives. In this case, the charts are hugely positive - even the last couple of days when the share has trodden water, there has been strong net buying. I admit to being puzzled about the motives of those who clearly over-accentuate the negatives, such as Poverty. Are they de-ramping because they have put options, or the equivalent, or is it just a pessimistic nature? The claim that the sp cannot possibly rise more than 2-3 times appears to be a case of damning with faint praise. No rational argument is made, whereas the argument for higher levels has been argued clearly on this thread and in Shares magazine.
Having had my gripe, there are questions which are worth putting. Given that the cap rises 10 times to some to some 600K, what will the corresponding rise in sp be? - the key determinant is the amount of new capital that will need to be injected. Views? I also accept the point that the level of royalties will be under pressure within corporate deals - my answer to that would be that the royalties flow is in no way reflected in the current share price.

where did philip stafford and chris flood get their information? who are the five other companies rumoured to be interested? and when did seo deny it was looking for a rights issue?
this was seo's rns about the appointment
Stanelco PLC
Directorate Change
Stanelco PLC ('Stanelco') is pleased to announce the appointment of Robert
Philip Boardman, 31 to the Board as Director with immediate effect. Rob will
serve as Finance Director from 1 February 2005 when Barrie Hozier, the current
Finance Director moves to a non-executive role.
Robert joins Stanelco having been Finance Director at Durlacher Corporation plc,
where he oversaw a major equity issue and the takeover of webangel plc. Prior to
that, Rob was at Altium Capital, where he was Finance Director of the leading
corporate finance and securities Group. Robert qualified as a Chartered
Accountant with Arthur Andersen in 1997.
There are no further disclosures to be made pursuant to rule 16.4 of the Listing
Rules.
Ian Balchin, CEO of Stanelco commented:
'We are delighted that Robert, who has excellent PLC and City experience has
accepted this position and strengthened our Board. We look forward to working
with him to help take Stanelco through its current stage of development and to
release its full potential.'
Robert Boardman commented:
'I am very much looking forward to working with the Stanelco team. The
technology platform is extremely exciting and I look forward to helping derive
maximum value from Stanelco's intellectual property.'
no mention of any other companies being interested and no denial of future rights issues. i do like robert boardmans quote, especially the last line. i think that confirms that seo's packaging technology is theirs and isnt conected to the dispute with bprg.

Definitely the hero of the hour; would we be here without you? Its good to read comments like "five other companies are rumoured to be interested". As you would expect, if Asda are close to successfully completing theri trials, their competitors won't want to be left in the starting blocks.
Decent volume today with buys up 3:1 on sells. Interesting that the price didn't move all day which suggests that the MMs have some stock tucked away and are happy with the volume as it is. Broker transaction of 500K shares after hours at 5.23 called as a sell but probably just brokers moving shares between them to balance the books? Indicators still very positive. Just needs that positive announcement to get the price moving again. Sitting on 100%+ profit on CFD's at 5:1 gearing but loathe to close any position prematurely. Just have the feeling that this is just a pause for breath.

Eric,
I totaly agree with what you are saying. It is always a pleasure to read your thoughts and opinions. What is your thoughts on a possible rights issue? seo will need extra cash if they suceed in signing contracts with the supermarket giants.If asda sign then I am sure they will all want to follow? With the volume of shares traded today I thought the sp would of ticked up a bit but obv the mm's are on to this and see the potential of seo and what they have and want some for themselves. Just like CSH & COP. The next few weeks leading to a possible RNS will interesting to see what the mm's do.
