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.

It looks suspiciously as though someone's selling RTD via T trades in 100K chunks - this is causing the accentuated dips, and smaller weak holders predictably bail out (at precisely the wrong time) helping the trader make more of a killing.

Then, it looks as though when the price hits a low, they buy back the chunks again in T trades and wait for the inevitable rise. And so the cycle continues....

There is consistent buying support at 16p, and given an improvement in general tech. stock market confidence we'll see RTD back up to around the 20p level very quickly.

The volatility can be unnerving, though the fact that RTD is being traded in this way shows that there is confidence that buyers will always return at the right price.

I think I have posted this soemwhere else. But what exactly is a T Trade. Who is protected. Can any one do this.

T trades are trades with extended settlements over and above the normal T+3, giving the trader an opportunity to close a position without parting with any money. The broker will charge a premium for this service.

Thank you.

T trades I think are protected transactions which could be Institutional trading, not sure about the T+3 as i bought some on T+10 and it was shown as an ordinary buy. These now look stupendously cheap compared with other tech stocks - at p/e 12 and 1.5x sales. I do think this is excellent opportunity and have bought more as they should do well on interims very soon.

rob,

there is a slight difference here when a T is posted next to a trade as it goes througf that is the trade type and in this case a protected transaction.

When you refer to T+ trades, this is not an abbreviated trade type this is the time before settlement.

For example if you bought some shares on T + 10 (trade + 10) this means that you would not have to pay for those shares for 10 days after the transaction.

mornin all re. today I'm sayin nowt :o}}}}}

..............:o(((((((((((((((

well pulled back a bit

RTD held well today in the face of shorters who are still trying to eke out the last bit of downward leeway. When you start to see the "3p soon" messages appearing, you know that there's a bounce coming very soon.

It may be time to get back in again.

overgrowth.."3p soon" ? can/will you explain please.

I assume he is referring to a poster on ADVFN called M&C who has just forecast 3p. He has been proved very wrong on both RTD and NSB over the past eighteen months and his comments are being interpreted as a buy signal!!!!!

thanks Fund't. .... still had price reduction when trades at buy/sell= 5/3 ???

has anybody notice the similarity in the graphs for RTD, TFC and BPRG. ARE THE SAME PEOPLE PLAYIN THIS SHARE.

Fred

Add NSB to your list.

From reading various bulletin boards there are a lot of people either holding all or most of these and/or short term trading them.

IMHO I believe they are all shares which had very healthy rises early in the year and have subsequently been targetted by the shorters. May be wrong but there certainly appears a trend!!!!

Fundamentalist

I think you are right but we must be near their target levels now so when they have finished then we should see these shares get some legs & recover substantially.

Apple

Lets hope so. 16p appears to be quite a strong area of support and volumes have now decreased substantially. I am expecting these to star rising again as we get nearer to the interims.

Douggie, Sorry for the delayed response - been out all day, though unfortunately not in the sun :-(

Fundamentalist was able to read my mind anyway.

All we need now is someone to read Carl Clump's mind to see what juicy contracts are due to be signed!
