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.

Douggie you should stop smoking. You know what happened to Pinocchio after he turned green.

It will be a blue sky to-morrow.

Fred no...what did happen to Pinocchio after he turned green? (am I goin to wish I hadn't asked)

looking up and foreward for that blue sky

cheers chum

From my memory of The Walt disney film 60 years ago he developed a long nose and big ears and Jimmy Cricket wasn't happy. But it is just a fading memory!

I thought the long nose was the result of telling lies,(I don't remember him being smoked) Big ears was Noddys friend,and being not happy was a trade mark of the Irish comic....'and there's more' ............ but I'm too tired now!

enjoy tomorrow

As I said fading memories. Perhaps I was smoking.

morning keep up the banter anyway.

looks like another sell off taking place.

it hurts !!!!!!!!!

If this continues I think that we really will be hearing renewed rumours of an MBO. The share price really does not factor in the good news, even taking account of the threatened patent litigation.

sorry for being a dim wit.
i suppose mbo is management buy out.
how would that affect the regular shareholder? do you get given a price that you have to accept?

MBO was mooted in the press a few months ago (when the price was about 20p) -"directors dissatisfied" etc etc. I am not suggesting that shareholders will be particularly happy about this, even if the mbo price offers a reasonable premium on today's price as the majority probably bought at 20p+.

i would be happy to get my 20p back and get out of this

Having bought at 5p sold some and bought since then I would not like a management buy out. Rarely if ever do the pay the future market price, but who would like to hold a company with disatisfied management. I would think a price in advance of 25p would be accepted by many shareholders, but I think in the longterm future this will be seen as cheap.

Anybody worked out the value of the M&S deal.

:o[[[[[[[[[ right down in the mouth pocket hurts too!!!!!!

Lot's of people shorting RTD at the moment. When a strong support level is reached (probably 14p) there won't be any profit left for them to make, so they'll be off onto the next one.

Director buys will help to bring positive sentiment back, but those guys aren't going to buy until Daniel Stewart tell them that the shorting has stopped.

When we get back to 20p geeboy, that's exactly the time not to sell, the price will then be on its way to 30p. It can be very sickening to sell out at break even only to watch with amazement over the course of a few months as the price goes skyward - I've done it before (only ONCE though lol!).

I checked my records of RTD and find I initially bought at 21 p back in 2000 and sold half later at 21.99. Sold and bought many time since then. Buying at 21p, 5p, 5.18, 3.5p,3.74p 10. and 14.75p. Sold intermittemtly since the initial buy. My guess is that shorters are riding on this share as they have done so in the past and that the price will return to 16p 18p and 20p within the next 4-6weeks. Dependent then on further contract updates it will either stagnate for a while or pursue upwards to 22-25p. IMO and guess.

Retail Decisions says T-Mobile UK extends contract for further 3 years
AFX


LONDON (AFX) - Retail Decisions PLC, the fuel card operator, said it has won a further three year contract with T-Mobile UK.

Under the extended contract, Retail Decisions will continue to provide T-Mobile with Card Not Present (CNP) payment processing activities, including card transaction authorisation and settlement.

Fred1new - I too have bought and sold many times, though keep a core holding. I think you're absolutely right re: future price and more contract announcements like today will bring the positive sentiment flooding back!

Fred1new - WOW you did well in 2000 to buy at 21p and sell at 21.99 (profit of 21.78 per share) - who did you sell them to Fred2 - I agree with you otherwise assessment

Apologies I thought it was too good. I think I put the date instead of the price. What a shame. I bought on the 12/1/00 at 22.08 and sold at 3.10 on the 22/3/00.(Still lucky and good return of over 40k) (I think from memory the was a share dilution sometime around then which might alter my records.) All I know I paid a hell of a lot to much tax that year followed by a disastrous dealing period for about 12-18mths.)

Still recovering from that period.
