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.

maybe you bought your new car too soon Douggie-nice to see RTD finally taking off.

What a day, oh what a day :>))

DOUGGIE!! Did you sell 1,000,000 shares out as part of your holding at 13.45 in order to buy a car or have another holiday?

Fred ...............NO.................. ;-\

moneyplus....not realy RTD made it possible for me to have a new car now.

I got a Citroen Xsara diesel 2.0HDI 110hp 5dr AUTO fully kited for 10995 otr.
this satisfies all my needs at the moment. when RTD reach sp 1 then.....??
I looked at a BMW 1 for same spec. 25000 there is no way I would ever
(even if my RTD were at 1) pay an extra 14000 for very similar items
both do the same job the next nearest was over 5000 more !!

Most important I did NOT have to sell any of my RTD holding.........

I need those to prosper and grow so that I can have many more of those
holidays that Fred1new is so eager that I should have.

Evening all

just back from a hard day stripping plaster off walls!!!

nice to see another blue day - both here and at dnx my other main holding

Douggie, I have a rusty old postwar Raleigh two wheeler. Does about one mile to the glass. Thought of extending it with another saddle. It is only just new than me!!!! *8+)












If you believe this, You will believe anything!!!


But its been a nice day, hope for higher volumes and price up to-morrow.
If you are running Stop losses watch the spread it might catch you.

Retail Decisions Launches Evolutionary Technology in the Fight Against Retail Fraud
Tuesday January 18, 8:15 am ET


HAZLET, N.J., Jan. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Retail Decisions (ReD), an international provider of payment processing and fraud prevention services to the retail, banking, telecom and e-commerce sectors, announced two product enhancements for its fraud prevention service, ebitGuard(TM). Designed for enterprise-class high volume merchants in the card-not-present (CNP) space, the integration of ReD's PRISM neural technology and Dynamic Data Validation will bring an even higher level of security to retail fraud prevention.
According to recent studies, annual incidences of credit card fraud involving CNP transactions are rising at an alarming pace -- more than 700 percent between 1998 and 2003. Many industry experts forecast a continued rise in fraudulent card activity due primarily to the introduction of Chip and PIN technology in Europe and increases in online retailing in the U.S., which will force more fraudsters away from traditional in-store shopping to prey on mail order, online, or over the phone transactions.

The new enhancements to ebitGuard leverage the science of neural technology to address the rising occurrence and shifting trends of credit card fraud. Specifically, the enhancements will provide mass retailers with the following:

* PRISM neural technology (groups of complex statistical algorithms) is
able to detect abnormal cardholder behavior, distinguish subtle
differences manifested by fraudulent orders compared to superficially
similar valid orders. Simultaneously, PRISM incrementally learns new
purchasing behavior or pattern changes adapting its model and
intelligence resulting in a dynamic system that detects emerging fraud
schemes.

* Dynamic Data Validation matches a consumer's billing and shipping
information with multiple public records. Additionally, Dynamic Data
Validation is able to find additional profitable sales opportunities in
AVS and CVV failures. After integrating and testing Dynamic Data
Validation, ReD was able to demonstrate as much as a further 30 percent
reduction of transactions that were recommended for manual review.

Carl Clump, CEO of Retail Decisions plc, stated: "As a market-leading service provider catering to the needs of the world's top CNP retailers, ReD continually strives to innovate, create and expand its services to provide clients with the most advanced fraud prevention technology."

In addition to preventing fraud, PRISM and Dynamic Data Validation will dramatically increase approval rates and top line revenue for retailers. ebitGuard, which is monitored by ReD's experienced team of fraud analysts 24 x 7 x 365, processes transactions through merchant-specific rules, negative card and email databases, pattern and velocity detection engines, among other components, and returns a dynamic recommendation (Accept, Deny or Challenge) in less than one second.

Clump added, "PRISM's superior cardholder behavior profiling enables our clients to fast track the transactions of repeat customers decreasing their manual reviews. Additionally, Dynamic Data Validation allows merchants to match their customers against multiple public records. Combined, these two new components will provide merchants with the ability to grow their businesses more quickly and confidently than ever before."

ReD's PRISM technology currently protects payment processors and financial institutions around the world. ReD's risk management and payment processing clients include: The Royal Bank of Canada, Macy's.com, The Finish Line, Inc., GSI Commerce, Walmart.com, GE Capital, Buy.com, Netflix, RealNetworks and Travelocity.com

Another day of the small guy selling, the MMs keeping the price down and then the big boys picking up 1.4m shares at the close

;o\

Just posted on another board :


All

Excellent news on Bloomberg UK channel
504, just stated:-

According to the WSJ. ( Wall Street Journal )

Federated owner of Macy's and Bloomingdales,
and RTD client, is to buy May department stores
for $9bn.
This will take Federated to 1000 department stores.

May will also have a web site which RTD will then
protect, this is another client win for RTD, in
a roundabout way to the tune of $9bn.

No wonder the big buys were buying big
in the past few days.

see the pattern is continuing - someone purchase 1.1m yesterday and another buy of 575k today - still the smaller sells and the bigger buys

looking like start to possitive week........ooooops hope I haven't put the lurgy on it.

Pity posts dried up here...not a lot to say is there...just quietly pleased with progres ;o\

Douggie

quiet time until results - if last yr anything to go on should be first week in march. hopefully will get an rns with the date this/next week. only other news prior to that will be further contract wins (now likely to be with results), holdings rns or techmark100 entry.

douggie

looks like you gave it impetus rather than the lurgy - trying to break out again?

:o)))))) ......................!

Had these for just short of a year. Its been a real rollercoaster unti recently. Now its up up and away. How high will these go? Any thoughts?

B2B

B2B - I really cannot see these exceeding 38p before announcement of results (unless of course there is an interim trading update or announcement of another big contract) but I am happy to be proved wrong. I almost sold on Friday so currently very happy .

Pach I tend to agree these wont go that high prior to results - personally i hope thats the case otherwise they are likely to hit the shorters radar for post results.

In setting a target price the difficulty is that since they said they will materially exceed year end forecasts, even the house broker havent updated their foreacst so it is difficult to estimate profits and hence eps.

Persoanlly i am hoping for a basic eps of 2p (initial f/cast were for 1.4p). If that is tghe case then we would be looking at a pe ratio of 17 (at a price of 34p) and a peg of less than 0.1 (pe 17, yoy growth 300%). The key to the price post results is likely to be the following year forecast for profit

i will do some more calcs and post later

Many thanks for that Fundamentalist. When are the results out?
