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.

what the hell is happening, what happened to RTD stabilizing this stock price?

Tokyo

What is happening is a buying opportunity in a profitable company.

Hope this will encourage them further

I do wish they'd stop posting 'GOOD NEWS' it's proving very expensive!!! ;-((((

apple & All RTD Holders - I can see it's a great buying oppotunity, but I already hold enough in this stock, the drop in the past couple of trading days has lost me over 3,000 pounds. The company is performing well, the figures posted for expected profit, very conservative, which would all bring about an expected share price target of 31 pence. looks like I shall be holding these until after September, just disheartens me to keep seeing this stock being played with and drops that just don't make sense.

The one thing I shall nt be doing is selling out now for a loss, as I believe the fundamentals are still very strong with this company, although the ups and downs of this company's stock price is just not for the faint hearted.

Good luck to all holders

;~{..

In my opinion the message from the AGM was "steady as she goes". A lot of small investors like Tokyo had bought on the hope of some "unexpected" good news but although the news was good, it was not any better than expected. Even RTDs tame brokers could not find anything to cause them to raise their price target.

As a result of this, the price has dropped as some of these hopeful investors bail out. Exactly the same thing happened when the results were released. The price rose on hope to a level that proved unsustainable.

I agree with FerdFord. A nice steady rise. Look at last year. There was the same concerns raised then as raised today. However from last March to now it has been great. I do not think we can expect such an increase this year.

..... ;o{{

Will be keeping my eye on this one, but seems as if all the excitment has gone for now(didn't even get the regular blue friday), don't think we shall be seeing 25 pence (my target price)until September time (next set of results.) Will be holding until then, there is no way I'm selling out at a loss, when all that is needed with this share is time.

Quite a strong presence of chip and pin adverts on the radio just recently, wonder if this could help RTD develop new business??

I got that horible sinking feeling again :~{{...

it does look like that forcast 25p/30p not going to happen long time yet, anyone able to tell me this wrong?

I don't understand the figures. the total count of buys appears to be more than sells on the Watchlist and trades but the the sums of buys and sells don't reflect this. Why???

i have about 40 companies on my watchlist and so far today everything is down, i have no blue on my screen at all, i`m sure this downtrend for RTD is just a reflection on the market in general.

From Fundamentalist post 1128 , Am I right to think that the strengtening of the US dollar will be good for RTD. So the rise of US interst rates will not be a disadvantage after all....

RTD have earnings in US and more importantly currently in Australia. Hence, the higher the relevant $/ rate is bad for RTD.

ie $10m revenue at 1.8$ to = 5.6m
$10m revenue at 1.7$ to = 5.9m

Hence the lower the rate the better for RTD.

Also worth bearing in mind is the price of oil. A large part of RTDs business is the fuel cards in australia. The higher oil prices go, petrol prices go up, the spend on fuel cards go up and RTDs revenue from them go up. Hence when the interims are announced, I would expect very strong results from the fuel card business.

these are now trading on a future PE (on basic EPS) of 12. Market conditions are bad, all the indices are down with the tech ones hardest hit. IMHO this is now way to low priced, but then what do I know. I am topping up with more for the long term. Good luck all holders!!!!!

Douggie,

A severe hammering for all shares today. It also appears that a bunch of traders have been kicking RTD around like a football again.

As soon as normal service is resumed to the markets in general (could be tomorrow though more likely Wednesday), don't be surprised if there are some large upswings in RTD's price.

It's a roller coaster ride.

OG

Good call overgrowth....feel bit better now :o}}}} xfinger can hold and grow, not overly optimistic! longing to be proved wrong!!!!!!!!!!!! D.

Certainly rollercoaster back down 0.75p no apparent reason ?????????? ;~[[

A big fall today on thin trading, a real bargain now on conservative prospective p/e of 11. A tech stock with so much potential can easily treble in value over the next 6mths so forget short term blips and fill ya boots, this surely cannot go lower now.
