TFC, I didn't end up buying yesterday at 13p as I thought 10-11p possible if new folk continued to panic but by the time I got back in it was back above 15p. Good result whichever way we look at it and gives me even greater confidence to buy on dips as new support levels forming at higher and higher levels.

Morning all,

Article isn't really about SEO's technology it's more Alistair Blair saying about how after 23 years Stanelco had never made more than 1m profit in all that time, he bought in to them but sold out when he saw Ian Balchin had sold his 29m options at 4p (I don't think he realised the 29m shares had been bought by Andy Brough!) Then all this with ASDA took off so he bought back in at 6p and now they're 14p. He says he's not going to sell, mainly as he doesn't know where these are going to go!

cheers biscuit. by the way , who is andy brough?

"It would appear for the real battle which has yet to be lost or won here"
Well put.

From Sun Tzu's Art Of War "The Waiting Is The Battle"

Andy Brough is a Schroders Fund manager, I think it's a special situations fund he runs (or something similar) He bought the 29m shares that Ian Bachin sold for 1m (4p each). I understand the proceeds were put towards further product development and the court case.

The erudition is amazing! Yes, IC piece was written really to be amusing and succeeds in that; neutral re SEO, unless on the principle that any news is good news. One might expect a resistance level to be established at 17p and a support level at 13p with converging lines forming a triangle. However, the ASDA news is likely to produce a decisive break, more likely upwards but possibly downwards if disappointing to the market. Am happy to put my money on an upward break-out at better than 3:1 odds. Somewhat subjective and an intuitive view - but that's how I'm playing the market, whilst keeping an exit path open!

Out of interest.

From this thread it would appear that many are trading this share. Have thought of doing so myself, but reticent due to costs etc. and SP movement sometimes to quick for my addled mind to decide on its direction

My question is:-
Of those who have done so since 1/1/2005 what has been your percentage gain or loss including charges and stamp duty from your initial stake? Invested in SEO.

From holding this share for that date I have made that just over 175%.

Just curious.

I know buy using derivatives it would be possible to improve on this.

I am still the buy and hold investor as looking at the spread on spread bets the SP has to move quite a way to make a 1000 at say 20 a point-I'd rather st and wait I think. Shame as I've just seen a dream house and I really would like to magic up 800k next week! well --I can dream can't I? maybe SEO will gallop ahead next week.

Have similar feelings.

Hesitate to say it because of the pride cometh before a fall but 600%+ up via CFDs. Haven't set out to trade the share but rather run the profits. I did have to close a position when the price came back and was lucky to get back in somewhat lower as a result of the NLR run - this is the risk side of that route as you can be forced to close positions very quickly if you have reinvested the margin.

mp: how has the spreadbet compared in % terms? Essentially, the CFD % comes directly from the 4:1 gearing. You could state the result higher than that as one position was the reinvestment of the margin so not new funds. Lovely while it lasts!

You are beginning to get me jealous.

"Seen me off"
Why would you want to do that?

Don't forget Eric that CFDs are subject to CGT and that takes the shine off-but spreadbets are tax free, Even so well done 600% return is fantastic keep it up!
