DYOR - - - - - - - - - Biom Technologies mid-July 2010 AIM
This is the new resting place for Stanelco, the wonder producer of starch-based food-trays...only they didn't catch on.Over the last 10 years to 2010 the 0.1p shares traded abour 2.5p then shot up to 24p during 2005 with promise of Tray-Trials I understand. Within a year or so, they fell to new depths and finished at 0.2p Of course they were full-list then and some were held in ISA's hoping there would be a big profit...only now these are distressed sales as the Company slunk off to AIM, presumably "...to provide better shareholder-value"
Perhaps someone closer to the Co. can explain why the new name is Biome
....rhymes with Home. Often it is done to remove the previous sp-history.
Could it be..so new investors can bask in ignorance, etc. I'm not aware of any "change" in fortune for SEO, rather the reverse.
In my limited experience, the longer the name of a company the longer you have to wait for any return...Huh . . . . . .
. SEO had been a terrible investment.
DYOR.
Can Biome be any worse...?
EDIT ( 24April2017)- "just woken up" -me not BIOME - sp is 154, but I note about June 2013 there was what looks like a CONsolidation . . do I recall many LT investors were sold-short?... as I believe the (new share) numbers were terrible! . . . Anyone?

Hi Kimoldfield,

I do like strange animals.

Is this a rumor,

I have heard that Biome Technologies are being taken to court for not being registered as a Charity.
Okay, which one of you reported them to the Charity Commissioners?

Wow! up 9.09%!!!! I'm rich, hooray!!!!!! Oh, this is fantastic! Now, how much am I worth...............let me see........................erm, uh, ah! 9.09%?, hmm - that's how much the sp fell a couple of days ago. :o( Oh dear! I'm not rich after all. Hey ho!

Is there an AGM soon?, or more likely the last-one gave us this kiss of death.
Still I expect the Execs are workking hard to the benefit of shareholders, like themselves, - by rewarding them new Options, based on the current lowly sp.
=Then if someone was daft enough to bid, they could collect huge bonuses - paid out of company money.....wouldn't it be a great idea is all "bonuses, options etc" were paid out of a pot that included retail-shareholders?
-For otherwise they are effectively taking money from the petty-cash; I'm suggesting they should only be able to apply their "bonus" (if there is any profit), after sharehodlers have had a piece of the action....being "shareholders" they will get some of this anyway - their Bonus is there to mop-up any surplus profits, etc.

Most unlikely with this outfit...there are many years of back-dividends needed....there is another idea - perhaps those years when no dividend is declared, but Dirs receive a bonus/option/pension payment (ie anything above a monthly wage), then a dividend must be declared not less than 0.5% of Mkt Cap high withing 30-days either side of AGM. This would be a back-dividend which would be paid to LT shareholders when profits appear. This mechanism might stop directors grabbing bonuses when they aren't there for anyone else.

Interims due around the 27th of this month I believe. They should be really exciting, um........or not!

Steady kim you'll be sued for de-ramping.,.

They can't afford a barrister BB. Oops!

Actually, I think BIOM are moving in the right direction! :o)

Patshere.

Answer to your Q on FTSE page.

Yes, still in. Should have got out years ago. Biggest mistake on a share ever. Only staying in now to hold against any CGT.

regards Greek.

Can anyone find out who the 'large' company is.
Thanks

After a quick read of the half yearly report, I admit the future prospects 'look' good. There appears to be plenty of potential customers out there who are in different stages of product trials.
But we have heard this many times before.
So this time, will the management update the markets when they either fail to obtain any orders expected, or when they reach and pass the time periods they have mentioned regarding when they expect trials to end or orders/contracts to be signed.

This management have to earn my trust. They will have to work very hard and be 100% open with their shareholders.
So, not knocking the report as it reads. But will defer judgment whilst waiting.

As there is still nothing serious to report, I thought I would share a strange thought with you and every other long suffering shareholder (looks like only about 3 or 4 of us left here).
Remember the film 'The Fly' where a scientist was accidentally sealed in a chamber with a fly whilst he was attempting to work on a matter transporter device -- the disintegrator-integrator. It works, but not quite perfectly, the atoms mix and he ends up being part fly.
Perhaps members of the Biome board got a bit too near some bio-degradable plastic during production and sort of bio-degraded, never to be seen or heard of again.
Makes you think.
OK back to taking the tablets.

Pass the water somebody please! ;o)

Kim.

You need no longer worry, a van has just pulled up outside my house, men in white coats are coming up the drive. But will I be sectioned for my previous post or because they have found out I am still a holder of Biome shares.
Sorry to all for being so facetious, I appreciate investing should be more serious, but I am becoming more and more frustrated and angry re the lack of response/news by the Biome management.

Oh don't worry Greek, BIOM is no longer a serious investment, just a gamble now. Mind you, the same could be said for most investments these days :o)

Having said that, I still believe there is the potential for this company to not only survive but to do reasonably well. There, that's put the kibosh on it!

Hi all (anyone?)
Its been a long time since I was here (or SEO really!).


You can hear yesterdays radio interview with UK CEO of PepsiCo (owners of Walkers Crisps) and the more interesting longer bit with Independant Environment Consultant, Matt Prescott, for the next 6 days, here -

Cheers Tony.

No 1 in the top risers chart ????
If this keeps rising like this everyday we may break even by Christmas............
2015.

45% increase today. 430K invested. Great





Oh, bugger - just looked. It's SEO!
The gain (nay - recovery!) barely buys a night out.

Who was that poster that knew someone that worked for SEO that played cricket with him and who he pumped for inside info that proved worthless ?

Dear Sir/Madam,



We do not comment on any relationship that Biome Bioplastics may or may not have with potential customers.



However, I am pleased to see a company like Pepsico/Walkers taking an interest in bioplastics.



Regards



Paul Mines

CEO

Anyone in the know why sp (whatever is left of it) is going up?
