Why are we again at 10.5p bid?

It doesn't add up...

Good Results + Strong buying pre results + Christmas online buying soon = Price drop

Then again some companies that have debt for equity hanging in the balance, poor results and bankruptcy around the corner and they go up!

Why sell now at a loss?

Wont that be a kick in the teeth when we see 13.5p 14p again!

Best of luck all.

jd xfinger we're at bottom I hope, price gained and held .5p in spite of near 2/1 sell/buy there is I'm sure belief in this Co. the case made for share to be worth 20p+ still holds good

Evening all,

Encouraging US data today ensures that medium-term positive sentiment continues in the markets in general. This makes the excessive bearish trend which RTD is going through all the more anomalous - particularly as we know that nothing has changed and the fundamentals are as good as they were expected to be when punters were happily buying in at 25p+.

I'm going to buy my chunk back tomorrow (not at the same profit I thought - but I just don't have the right "vibes" on this trade). I'm no longer convinced that we're going to hit either of the chart predicted 14p/12p levels.

In fact, given the volume traded this week it looks like mass profit taking due to the end of the tax year plus opportunistic traders selling like crazy to force a low price (i.e. a bear raid). The year-enders are all going to be out by the end of Monday - but I would guess most are out now. Loads of people will be looking to buy into ISAs on Tuesday and I think that the MMs know this and are going to ensure that these people are going to have to pay a higher price than the one we're currently at.

The bullish side is that there is still a substantial amount of buying going on - it couldn't match the selling earlier in the week, though a lot of investors are now seeing this price as ridiculously cheap and I've noticed some good sized chunks being bought by the "clever money".

Given the speed of selling, there's a good chance of an equally powerful bounce back. This could well come in the form of a 1-2p mark up on Monday or Tuesday morning followed by solid buying.

Should the price keep above 16p at tomorrow's close - prepare for the upward ride!

All the best

Just topped up again at 16.75p, quite happy with that, ahead of the expected rush, small note RTD was in the top 5 traded shares on comdirect(buys that is), so hopefully everybody will be topping up their ISA's on Monday and give this share the push it needs back up to 20 pence.

Have learned to check with broker true curent buy/sell price reveals many of trades listed as sell actualy buys gives much better picture(understand why M.A list as)

Douggie

How did you check that?

Is there a nominee account broker that will tell you or is it an ordinary expensive broker that told you?

Buyers are back in force and although it didn't reach my target I got in this morning so hope for a mark up next week. I believe we should see plenty of positive comment now and see a short term rise in price.

Good news - director buying - Richard Amos (FD) bought 100K today

Hey hey here we go, always good news - should climb well next week IMHO

Have just had this sent to my e-mail account from RTD, as I'm sure most of you have too.

Wonder what the long term incentive plan holds for all of us?

April 30th seems to be the next key date, wonder if this share will give us the same ride as the latter part of last year.

Director buying?, more news & announcements to come?

Hope this is gonna prove to be, what we all seem to feel it can be.


Godd luck to all holders

Sentiment has certainly changed on this board, anyone know what they're saying on the others?

Across the road has been plagued by shorters for the last 2 weeks saying that 12p is imminent and has just been a slanging match - they have all disappeared yesterday/today - a lot of people posting that they are getting back in and then moaning that there buy has been classified as a sell!!!

Personal opinion is that we may now have seen the end of the short termers driving this down and the fundamental value will slowly now be seen - lets hope so!!!

Buy @ 18 while you can last time at this price...

i agree, too late as it should be marked up first thing Monday.

Scotinvestor - nice post across the road but you're wasting your time mate - I agree fully with you but you will always get that there. I lurk over there but 95% of the threads are ramp/deramp bickering and it takes ages to sift thru to see if there is any decent info hiding.

what other investor boards are you guys looking at?

ADVFN mainly and occasionally iii and motley fool but prefer moneyam to all the others - i only lurk there i don't post (except when my posts from here have been copied over there)

cheers fundamentalist

apple saga online nominee probablly not definitive but better guide to trading price than m.am trade lists of late found many buys listed as sell same otherrs on my watch list

Thanks Douggie,

What do you think of their service & their website?

Is there an inactivity fee?

I'd be most grateful if you would post a screenshot of the type of info you get that lets you know if a buy or sell.

BTW I downloaded their brochure.pdf but the screenshots in it are unreadable.

thanks for the list of sites Fundamentalist, had a look over the weekend, but agree with you, this board seems to have alot more information and is alot easier to use
