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.

yeah i agree overgrowth.

I'm sure in about 12 to 18 months time this will be at least 1. I predict about 130p.
I think i may hold these for a few years as i'm sure results will be good for 2nd year running and that results the year after will be even better. As i believe oil will be much dearer which helps our fuel card. There are predictions for future oil pricve reaching 80 to 100$ a barrel!!!!!!

overgrowth - 15 Dec 2004 23:11 - 1856 of 2406

scotinvestor - oil's price hikes will be great for RTD, but I think that the jewel in the crown is that they have a solid presence in the Card Not Present security market (internet sales for any newcomers), and that market will run and run :-)

Douggie - 16 Dec 2004 09:17 - 1857 of 2406

there does seem to be a degree of confidence in this share!

:o)))

what here ??

Fundamentalist - 16 Dec 2004 10:13 - 1858 of 2406

Morning all

Nice to see people now paying 30p for these!!!!

Comments elsewhere that private investors money is moving from Ashtead into RTD after ashteads results today

Douggie - 16 Dec 2004 10:14 - 1859 of 2406

This is bum nipping stuff.....29.75p

Douggie - 16 Dec 2004 10:17 - 1860 of 2406

Ooooooooooooooops done it again.....29.5p :-|

robstuff - 16 Dec 2004 12:21 - 1861 of 2406

Nice that some of my investments this yr are paying off, Always believed in RTD and still believe they have a good future, maybe time to take some profit on a few though as nothing goes up in a straight line for this long in my experience. One to top up on is OXB, many's share of the year, excellent news flow to come and broker target of 50p short term, excellent value at this price and another I have always believed in. If like holding RTD you are one that is prepared to be patient and stick it out, OXB will reward hansomely, I mean 10 or 20 times, take a look.

peeyam - 16 Dec 2004 19:15 - 1862 of 2406

bought 20000 few months back expecting it to hit 1, i still beleive in that target price and so far the going is good :) hope to see 50p by march

Douggie - 17 Dec 2004 09:13 - 1863 of 2406

Tide turning ? x/finger. ;o\

Fundamentalist - 17 Dec 2004 10:06 - 1864 of 2406

Douggie

This morning frenzy appears to have been the lemmings selling on the back of a sell tip from RHPS. The MMs managed to pick up a couple of million cheap shares and then the long term buyers started to return

Douggie - 17 Dec 2004 11:42 - 1865 of 2406

thanks Fund. good luck to those who got a quick profit to help with xmas bills

REUTERS Britain matches US online shopping fervor in 2004 [DSYHDSC]

NEW YORK, Dec 16 (Reuters) - The number of British consumers buying holiday gifts online this year will more than double, matching U.S. habits, as high-speed Internet use rises and despite increased Internet fraud, a new survey suggests.

Online fraud prevention firm Retail Decisions is set to release on Friday a study which shows 43 percent of UK customers plan to shop online this year versus 46 percent in the United States. Last year, 21 percent of British consumers and 31 percent of U.S. shoppers made purchases online.

"Traditional retailers need to make sure they have a very good online strategy because online shopping is here to stay," Carl Clump, chief executive of Retail Decisions, told Reuters.

"The study indicates that shopping on the Internet is causing some convergence in global terms, and that's why we're seeing very similar behavior by U.S. consumers and UK consumers," he said.

The most-favored Internet purchases on both sides of the Atlantic included travel tickets, hotel arrangements, books and music discs, while the speed of completing transactions and delivery was key to maintaining the momentum of Web shopping.

UK customers are still more likely than their American counterparts to order goods over the phone, through mail orders and via interactive television this holiday season, the survey showed.

In all, 57 percent of British consumers and 60 percent of U.S. customers surveyed said they found nothing negative in buying goods online. At the same time, Retail Decisions said it expected a 46 percent rise in potentially suspicious transactions online from a year earlier.

Internet fraud could also increase dramatically in the UK next year as "chip and pin" cards are implemented for in-store purchases, making it harder for criminals to target traditional store shoppers, Retail Decisions said.

Retail Decisions polled 1,000 adults on Dec. 3.

Blue now = equals = red so time for tic up ? ;o\

Fundamentalist - 17 Dec 2004 18:08 - 1868 of 2406

Some large trades reported after hours, 1 for 1m, 1 for 2m+ - are these buys - if so should see a mark up monday. Lets hope it is the institutions mopping up the retail sells

overgrowth - 17 Dec 2004 19:25 - 1869 of 2406

Looks like buys to me Fundy - only to be expected, a crazy RHPS sell recommendation when the institutions are still buying (old Bulford must have had a slap-up Christmas meal at the expense of the fund managers lol!).

scotinvestor - 17 Dec 2004 19:37 - 1870 of 2406

who is this bulford guy. He must be a moron for suggesting a sell to one of the most obvious undervalued stocks in the market. Even at these prices now, people in 12 months time will be laughing at them as this share is going to make me lots of money. God, it was 13p just about 2 or 3 months ago. It more than doubled.

OK then, name me a company more than doubled in last 2 months?

This bulford is a brainless dickhead.

overgrowth - 17 Dec 2004 19:53 - 1871 of 2406

scotinvestor - each to their own strategy (and some folks might appreciate the extra cash for Christmas), though I prefer the "Let your winners run" school of thought.

If institutions are still buying, why sell ?

1982roy - 17 Dec 2004 21:46 - 1872 of 2406

trade for kicks,invest for profit.

mudhoney - 19 Dec 2004 19:04 - 1873 of 2406

I bought RTD on the back of Tom Bulford's RHPS tip and very well they appear to be doing. I haven't seen any hint from him that I or anyone else should start to sell. Mister Bulford has made a few quid for me in the last few months so thought it only fair to defend him.

overgrowth - 19 Dec 2004 19:52 - 1874 of 2406

mudhoney - Tom Bulford's tip to sell and take profits came out in the RHPS weekly alert (I assume via e-mail) on Thursday, so I'm told.

There's a general view that because RHPS have given some poor tips this year (sounds as though you chose the best ones), that selling RTD now makes the RHPS portfolio of tips for 2004 look much tastier.

RTD is rapidly zooming out of the penny shares category, TM100 entry is expected in early January, Goldman Sachs and other funds are snapping up huge chunks of shares, RTD announce full year profit "materially above expectations" a whole TWO MONTHS before year end - this suggests that profits were well up even at that time - and what's going to happen in November and December ? Oil prices still relatively high helping along the Oz fuel card profits and Christmas online sales breaking all records.

With this level of good news, I'm sticking around for the journey to 1 and beyond.
