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.

Thanks apple for your 2contributions today.

The day ended with a half million buy!

:o))) xfinger next weeks!!!!

another 500,000 deal at the end

was it a buy or sell?

Looks like a buy to me - though price staying steady at 15p because there are still a few retail sellers.

If this is an insitutional buyer, then let's hope that most of the sellers are shorters, because they'll have to buy back all the shares they've sold when they've closed the deal making the sp rise even more.

I watched London Clubs move after institutional interest over the course of a couple of years from around 15p to much higher than where they are now (and they're currently at 118p), though after buying at an average of 12p I sold much too early.

I don't want to make the same mistake with RTD, so if we see steady (almost imperceptible increases) taking the sp up past 20p, then 30p etc. it's time to hang on there for the really big gains.

If you won't go on holdidays, I'll Go for you. Off to Paris and the rest of France for three -four weeeks. Look after RTD for me!!

I hope it will be 22-23p by the time I am back!!!!!

Could be Fred should see a nice climb to-day following RNS

OK so now I ask why only little excitement ?

while the patent infringement is still hanging around a lot of investors will continue to avoid this. Personally think this is very positive as RTD is still signing up new customers despite this, mainly at the expense of Cybersource.

Fred, have a good holiday - lets hope you have the douggie effect

I posted the following on adv - HL's Penny Share Prophet rates RTD as a "BUY" (out to-day). Nothing special in the 3 para summary. States market consensus for 2004 of 6m before tax, exceptionals and goodwill, eps of 1.4p, prospective PER of 10.4, further progress anticipated in 2005.

pachandl - it's only sentiment keeping RTD down. Keep a very close eye on large buys over the next two months - it appears that a very astute institution is buying in using Jesse Livermore tactics!

OG - you may be correct although I do not have access to such information. Anyway, I remain reasonably confident of RTD's medium term performance but not expecting firecrackers in the next couple of months.

Suprised nobody has posted the new BUY note.

Here it is Happy

danielstewart.co.uk 21st September 2004 RTD.L 15p BUY

Retail Decisions (ReD) has announced that The Finish Line, a leading athletic speciality retailer, will use ReDs risk management service for its e-commerce transactions on its FinishLine.com web site. The contract is significant in that FinishLine.com was previously using the fraud screening tool from CyberSource, ReDs main competitor in the Card Not Present (CNP) segment. This follows a number of contract wins from CyberSource (e.g. Register.com and Walmart) and against CyberSource in head-to-head situations (e.g. Odimo).
The comments from Kent Zimmerman, Finish Lines Director of E-commerce, that the previous solution was resulting in too many valid transactions being declined, reflect a key area of ReDs competitive differentiation. ReD has a very strong pedigree in fraud management (16 years) and is able to offer a more sophisticated solution: maximising customer revenues whilst providing sufficient protection against fraudulent transactions. As previously discussed (see Interims Note 13th September 2004), competitive differentiation has moved from simple online payment processing into three areas: availability of a licensed software solution, risk and fraud management capabilities and support for cross-border payments. ReD scores highly in risk and fraud capabilities.
The contract win is also instructive in the ongoing patent infringement action brought by CyberSource. Whilst only a small proportion of such cases ever reach court and it relates to only 3% of total ReD revenues, the action will continue to hang over ReDs share price. The board is investigating the claim but is aware of no infringement and believes the claim is without foundation at this stage. If this proves to be the case on further investigation, Retail Decisions plans to defend its position vigorously.
Forecasts, recommendation and price target of 31p remain unchanged.

Well done ;-)

Forecasts, recommendation and price target of 31p remain unchanged.

Looking ugly today :-(

IC recently said an update on the litigation was due by the end of the month (ie tomorrow) - is this related or just shorting/selling pressure?

Who knows ! I would guess it's short selling/ pressure. Price is drifting down as there no news and small caps mkt , overall, is having a bad time.
I wouldn't mind betting that they say the lit. investigation is still ongoing. Hope I'm wrong and it all gets sorted and SP moves up in reponse. Afterall it moved down when it was first mentioned ...

Nothing like a bit of uncertainty to drive the price down.

The litigation is about something that is currently a small part of their business.

Win or lose, it won't have a big effect on profits but the share price will ignore that fact.

400,000 buy

overgrowth

is this the kind of big buys you were talking about ?
