Maybe it's worth a look at today's RNS for DOO (D1 Oils) who have a possibly analogous IP cc with former partner/founder of the business of same order of magnitude, although it's quite a different claim - shares dipped approx 5%, before ticking up again.
If SEO SP goes to, say, 20p and then the cc result comes out, it could dip by up to nearly 50% and we'd be no worse off than today, before carrying onward and upward. It's a one off cost of a different (and I understand non-revenue performing to date) product. Its dilutive effect is probably less per share than a placement and rights issue which we all seem fairly sanguine about, don't we?
I have never gone overweight on a share before (totally balanced across all stocks is my game) but Eric/Di are probably right and I am seriously tempted to go overweight up to 50% on this one.
Look at NML - closed down at 4p bid and COH - closed down at 1.05p bid. Am I selling, am I f***. We're not gambling we're anticipating real tangible value of future revenues. Stay calm, fix the house, don't look down!

added another 25k this afternoon on the strength of the present momentum and resilience to selling. i feel im in a good position to make some more money here because i havent yet fallen for the "better mousetrap" syndrome. but that could EASILY change. all the while the big buyers are piling in, we should all feel relatively safe. far easier to sell 100k than a million.( having said that it took 5mins to dump 50k earlier ).
best of luck all.

fred1new, what on earth are you talking about??? tulips indeed! anyway, where the hell is andysmith?? thought he would have posted by now.
what a great day for posts. frist there was the asda trial update, good start to the day , then wilbs posted (798) a cracking article, very informative. and then we get an updated broker note from evo, very, very positive. unless theres another deal anounced tomorrow its going to feel very flat after today.

08/02/2005 - A trial initiative in the UK suggests that the use of radio waves to rapidly seal materials, enabling conventional plastics to be economically replaced with recyclable and biodegradable alternatives, has a bright future.
Radio frequency (RF) applications group Stanelco has just received the results of an innovative trial carried out in conjunction with UK supermarket Asda. The company wanted to see whether RF technology used to process polymers could help create packaging solutions capable of preserving foods for longer.
According to Stanelco, a range of fresh food products packed in RF-technology packaging was found to provide excellent results in relation to odour, appearance and taste.
Gas analysis was also used to demonstrate organoleptic acceptability, further emphasising the opportunities that RF technology presents to the food packaging industry.
The stability trials were carried out on food trays made from a single polyester material and sealed using Stanelco's technology using a polyester film lid. The equipment used to seal the trays was a conventional tray-lidding machine, which had been retrofitted with Stanelco's technology.
The trays contained a well-known foodstuff packed in a protective, inert, atmosphere.
This is an important step on the road to commercialisation, said Ian Balchin, Stanelco chief executive.
It demonstrates that laminated materials can be replaced with more economic, recyclable materials sealed using Stanelco's revolutionary energy-efficient technology and paves the way for in-store retailing trials and on to full commercialisation.
Many analysts believe that biodegradable packaging has a bright future. Growing environmental awareness and consumer power coupled with the inexorable rise in pre-packaged disposable meals means that food manufacturers and packagers are increasingly being targeted to improve their environmental performances.
Datamonitor statistics show that more than one-third of European consumers live alone and are spending 140 billion a year on food, drinks and personal care products. Single people spend 50 per cent more per person on consumer-packaged goods than a two adult household. Such trends underline why the environmental impact of food packaging has never been greater.
Stanelco was founded in 1953 and is now a world leader in the development of radio frequency technologies for processing polymers for edible and packaging applications and the design and manufacture of optical fibre technology, induction heating and dielectric welding equipment.
The company's current core business is the manufacture of optical fibre using RF.
Stanelco has been applying its technology to other markets. Current developments include biodegradable air cushion packaging, sealing of low-cost conventional plastics for food packaging, water-soluble detergent capsules, foamed starch trays, edible sachets and waste packing.

Anything more on the evolution report - any projection? timing of revenue, etc. Presumably our old friend Tim Freeborn.

Those late sells, could some be spread & CFD companys balancing their books ? or would they be marked down as broker to broker trades?

Packager Stanelco wraps it up
By Caroline Muspratt (Filed: 09/02/2005)
Supermarket food will look, smell and taste better and the packaging will be less likely to leak, according to technology group Stanelco, which reported ''exceptional'' results from packaging trials with Asda.
The company uses radio frequency to seal plastic packaging and said it had passed the "final hurdle" in product tests with the supermarket giant yesterday.
Ian Balchin, chief executive, said: "Five years ago a supermarket would sell red meat in a polystyrene tray with a clingfilm wrap over the top. Any juices tended to gather in the clingfilm and cause a mess on the shelf or in the kitchen."
Now packaging is hermetically sealed but requires the use of a laminate to attach the lid to the base of the packet.
He said: "Our technology removes the need for laminate and is 20pc cheaper in terms of materials. It also uses 70pc less electricity to make the seal."
Mr Balchin said the company is working with most supermarkets but tests with Asda and its suppliers are most advanced.
"We have undertaken shelf-life tests, then the food has been cooked and eaten. Our packaging helps retain the best taste, appearance, smell and texture," he said. He said the packaging could be on the shelves in "a few weeks".
Stanelco is also working on edible sachets that could allow a packet of soup powder to be placed in a cup of boiling water so the sachet would dissolve and could be eaten.

I like this bit. 'Mr Balchin said the company is working with most supermarkets but tests with Asda and its suppliers are most advanced'.
Most supermarkets. They all want a bit of this now.
