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.

The Future is Rosy The Future is RTD.

scotinvestor - 26 Nov 2004 20:33 - 1785 of 2406

yeah, 1million tade and TWO 2.5 million trades at end. Another high vol of more than 13 million tades today.

This will bounce up again on monday and for rest of week. Heavy support in this now. This is only going 1 way.

parveen1 - 26 Nov 2004 20:52 - 1786 of 2406

The only sticking point i see is the chart resistance at 27p.
Once we break that who knows where we will end up :)

Good luck !!! all yee RTD holders

Press mention : in today's (Saturday's) Independent Newspaper.

Vague takeover rumours pushed Retail Decisions 0.5p higher to 24.25p in brisk trade. The software specialist has been a great performer over the past six weeks. Its shares have nearly doubled.

PS. Still in with my purchase at 19.38 pence few weeks ago.

pachandl - 27 Nov 2004 10:54 - 1788 of 2406

Just to mention that the HL Penny Share Prophet (Dec) reiterates a buy for RTD (at 20p) saying that it trades at 30% discount to its peers. Every recommendation is worth something.

Looks like we should all be adding Monday

oh sh*t - not the takeover rumour again! would much prefer this to enter the tm100 and then the fundamental value come thru - if the rumours start again so will the pump and dump

overgrowth - 28 Nov 2004 01:19 - 1791 of 2406

"Vague takeover rumours" translated, means "I haven't a clue why the share price is going up so quickly, but I've noticed a big buyer snapping up shares therefore it MUST be a predator stakebuilding. Unfortunately, I haven't heard a single rumour about this so...I know...I'll refer to it as a vague rumour". lol!

What a complete load of b/s !

A predator would have started accumulating shares when they were much cheaper, because they will have been planning an approach and watching RTD's performance for some time. They would have bought big chunks immediately after the trading statement.

What is happening is obviously institutional buy-in before entry to the TM100. What you do is identify a highly outperforming "target" to enter the index, see if the dust settles and causes a substantial price fall after a sudden rise on recent good news - if not, then wait for stability at the top of the most recent rise and then accumulate. A large buy-in will increase the market cap. so much that the company will zoom straight into the index. After which you sit back and await the expected further good news from the company and all the tracker funds to buy in.

this is my last look 'till 07/12.

where will it be by then (contrary to popular belief here) the usual when I return from holiday is I am much worse off!

with so much volatility at the moment it's a bet I would't wish to take.

So with everything xxxxx'ed I will hope the the trend has changed and ALL you good folk are very much better off.

:o))... D.

Another day with the price supressed and small sellers being shaken out. Then again at the end of the day 2 2m trades showed up - the big boys are happily mopping up the retail sellers. tonight was also the close for the TM100 valuation although outcome is not usually announced for about 10 days. will run the calcs later but im pretty sure rtd will be included

Walktall - 01 Dec 2004 13:03 - 1799 of 2406

Did we make it into the Tech 100?

WT.

Fundamentalist - 01 Dec 2004 16:49 - 1800 of 2406

Walktall

by my calculations i think rtd will make it in by 2 places. LSE will not confirm until they release officially in about 10 days time. Nice also to see our buyer is still there - another 1.5m today

Fundamentalist - 01 Dec 2004 16:55 - 1801 of 2406

Just thought you folks might like a little chuckle. On the 12th of March I tried to buy some shares in RTD online. Being a total novice I cocked it up totally and eventually placed the order by phone. The share price was 20.6. As you know the price has been well down since then. So I did what all good investors did I stuck my head in the ground and got on with life.
I was of course delighted when the share price started to head north again and eventually into profit. (Many thanks to the folks on this thread...I would have sold if it weren't for your comments). Anyhow to cut a long story short. I checked my portfolio yesterday only to discover that I had in fact bought two lots of shares and therefore have twice the profit (+20%).
Isn't it nice when that kind of mistake works in your favour?

Still holding

Cheers
