RTD - Why? (RTD)     

Nitefly - 15 Sep 2003 10:55

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.

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

Tokyo - 04 May 2004 14:19 - 1137 of 2406

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.

washlander - 06 May 2004 13:18 - 1140 of 2406

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{{

Tokyo - 08 May 2004 10:23 - 1142 of 2406

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.

dandu71 - 09 May 2004 10:09 - 1143 of 2406

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

Douggie - 10 May 2004 09:16 - 1144 of 2406

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?

Fred1new - 10 May 2004 12:21 - 1145 of 2406

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???

dandu71 - 10 May 2004 12:35 - 1146 of 2406

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.

slmchow - 10 May 2004 15:03 - 1147 of 2406


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....

Fundamentalist - 10 May 2004 15:44 - 1148 of 2406

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!!!!!

overgrowth - 10 May 2004 20:58 - 1149 of 2406

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.

Douggie - 11 May 2004 17:39 - 1150 of 2406

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

Douggie - 12 May 2004 09:27 - 1151 of 2406

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

robstuff - 12 May 2004 15:47 - 1152 of 2406

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.

Fred1new - 12 May 2004 16:59 - 1153 of 2406

Send Dougie back on holidays please!

Douggie - 12 May 2004 17:25 - 1154 of 2406

I;ll go I'll GO wont cost you much well used to low cost hols. can't have any other spare cash tied up here!! :~[[[

Mms seem very eager to lower price on very little sell off, always easy to blame them, just hope it's not that these shares not worth as much as forcast

I'm with robstuff, but others dont seem so convinced

Fundamentalist - 12 May 2004 17:34 - 1155 of 2406

Still convinced, still holding. Nothing in the business has changed, if anything with current oil prices the business has probably got stronger short term. Current year forecast, which to me appear conservative, see the company trading on a forward PE of 11.3 based on basic earnings per share and aprrox 7 on adjusted.

Look at this share in the context of the market and yes it is down heavily recently but so are a lot of other shares in similar sectors - NSB for one. The Nasdaq has been weak hence the Techmark has been weak. As a share that had grown quickly RTD was more vulnerable than some to the falls we have seen.

But, as I said above, fundamentally nothing has changed, this is a profitable, growth tech company trading on a forward PE of less than 12. Interims due out early July I believe where we will get confirmation of strong current trading IMHO.

In this for the long term and convinced as ever by the strength of the company - the share price will reflect this in the long term IMHO.
