Just had pause for thought time.
i have read LW's comments on todays traders thread, and I realise that I could say much the same thing, though not over the same timescale.
Kinda fits with my "full and Frank discussion" of the other day with mr Aldwickk.
These blue sky tiddlers are great for somewhere to stick your top-slices or divis from real stocks, but the simple idea of reinvestment works every time, on average.
A sobering thought, and a reminder not to get too heavily invested in this kind of stock. keep it simple, keep it small, and hope you will have more hits than misses, but above all make sure that these are only a very small part of your portfolio.
Enough doom and gloom though. i'm still a believer, but it shows why some sleep on a night and others sweat it out.

Easily said, though Alan.

I expect most of us began our investment in SEO in a small way, as you describe, and built up stock as the SP climbed and each RNS sucked us in with a picture of great things to come. If the information in the RNS's had been genuine the situation should be completely different by now. Pleased to say SEO are a very small part of my portfolio, but even so, no-one likes to lose so much on one stock.

Perhaps the lesson is that you cant rely on RNS's from small caps - the managers in small caps get carried away in a situation new to them.

Does anyone know if action has ever been taken against companies issuing a trail of misleading information? Not that I'm saying (yet) that SEO has - this could all still turn around and our expectations could still be realised.

Morning all,

I agree with both (ALAN and OB's) comments.
I like many have SEO as a small portion of my investments, but yes due to vague info I also admit to being sucked in a bit deeper than intended.
As to action taken re companies giving out misleading info....I can recall several instances every year (unfortunately no names spring to mind) but there was that large Insurance group about 12/18 months ago, and I am sure someone will come back with info re several examples.

oblo, you wouldn't have a leg to stand on. ii was right all along, much as it pains me to say so. if you look at the wording of the rns' you will find that there are a lot of non-commitals, "expect to" and "anticipates". there are very few definates. the vagueness of the announcements gives them a get-out clause.
unlike many of you i did end up with most of my eggs in the seo basket. thankfully, i got away with it and wont be so stupid again. as to the arguement that long term and boring is more profitable than blue sky and risky , i am half rice half chips on that as i have made and lost on both. my best investments have been seo and asos for blue sky and tesco for blue chip, (scrip divis are wonderful long term). there are one or two dogs, (ok, more than one or two), that i hope have taught me a lesson in pot preservation.

oblo, you wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

Isn't that a Paul McCartney lyric? " Hopalong, you wouldn't have a leg to stand on".
Must go - the phone is ringing. that will be Mr McCartneys lawyers right now.

For rmhyams

Thanks. I'll be truce to you, if you are truce to me.

Here, have a kiss on both your cheeks. And if we stay nice to one another for a while, I'll give you kiss on the cheeks on either side of your nose as well.

The oily one

Seems like that blizzard of posts on five pages yesterday has exhausted the kiddywinkles!

And, as they say in the New Zafira tv commercial .... "oh, they're tired!"

Hope the share price does not go the same way as the box full of "my mother gave us that!" crockery.

The oily one

Oily,


Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I've always thought that , if Heather wanted to marry a pop star, she should have married David Cassidy. I wont add the punch line - Mrs McCartney's lawyers may be watching!

Oh, publish and be damned! She would then have been known as Hopalong Cassidy, but you'd guessed that, I'm sure.

Yes, its sad how quickly relationships break down when it comes to money matters. I heard he gave her a plane for Christmas.

Very penny pinching.

He really should have added some Immac for the other one.

I somehow cant imagine her having a great passion for carpentry, though, Tony!

I think we have sickened everyone off, Oblo.
Just fully remembered it and amended my last post!

I'm here.
Just enjoying a rather good day or two on stocks that no-one else is interested in!!!

No reply yet from SEO, Kim? (Or anyone else).

Alan

Are you doing smug with your post 18374?

The oily one

Nope.
Just very very happy.
Got a couple of shares that I try to interest others in, but to no avail.
they are a little bit too much like real companies for these boards!!!
HYC - Going up, looking good and a golden cross on the way, and
BBC- poor 12 months but a vrey good few days, including interims that show an increased divi.
Honestly worth a look, but i am the only one who inhabits the threads on these.
