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.

Another building block in place - looks like the mms have picked up a few shares the last week - are they planning on selling them for more next week???

nice finish to a flat week best wishes all :o)))))

how you feeling now Fred ;o\

Well, great news! - we all knew the TM100 was around the corner.

I wonder how many trackers haven't bought in early ?

Very well thank you Douggie, Holding SEO, RTD BPRG BRW for a while now, Also holding SEG, CSN, SBT. Was a little worried about CASH, but I think it is going to reverse up on monday. I think this is the best week I have had for about 12months. Fingers crossed for next week. Have a good weekend.

Excelllent news but, as OG suggests, it all depends on how many trackers have not yet bought in. Keeping my fingers crossed for a 1p rise at start of play Monday.

Pach dont think youll need to keep the fingers xxxed, think youll get at least 1p.

Below is an article from todays FT - not overly positive imo. Still mentioning the patent. Also, i see the fcast is for only 7% growth in 2005 - is it just me or is that figure laughable


Benefiting from blocking online shopping fraud
By Sharlene Goff
Published: February 5 2005 02:00 | Last updated: February 5 2005 02:00

As consumers shun the high street for the ease of shopping online, cyber crime is flourishing. One company benefiting is Retail Decisions, a UK group that offers card fraud prevention services to customers including Wal-Mart, Travelocity and Marks and Spencer. Retail's shares, which have more than doubled over the past six months, rose sharply last month on the news it had added Federated Department Stores, the owner of New York's Macy's and Bloomingdales, to its client list. Oriel Securities, joint company broker to Retail, upgraded its forecasts twice last year and now expects pre-tax profit before exceptionals of 6.8m for 2004 and 7.3m for the current year. To date, profit has been driven by the group's fuel card business in Australia, but Oriel expects the group's Card Not Present business to break even soon. Retail is on a p/e of 20 times this year's earnings. It has no direct UK competitor, but given the prospects of the e-commerce market and possible further profit upgrades, the shares may have further to go. The only shadow is a court case that Retail's US rival, CyberSource, has launched regarding patent infringement. Sharlene Goff

Fund - Ooops , forgot to post the FT comment, but I was thinking about it when I posted last. Clearly I did not have enough sleep last night - or too much. Yes, 1p should start off the week but where it goes from there will depend on MM games and Tracker funds I feel.

Mornin All :o)

Nice start to the week


Chip and Pin cards winning acceptance
This is Money,
7 February 2005
BRITISH banks are set to claim victory in their battle to get the general public used to new Chip and Pin cards after a survey revealed widespread satisfaction with them.

The new Chip and Pin bank cards are aimed at tackling the cost of card fraud in the UK. Some 424m of fraud was committed on UK cards in 2002. Banks believe that without the new technology losses to fraud could have reached 800m this year.

But despite the banks' view, almost one-third of users question whether it will crack the fraud problem for good. New research out today shows that some 65% of UK consumers have now used the new cards and 83% who have done so described the experience as 'positive'. But nearly a quarter said they struggled to remember their personal identification number.

And although 84% of people said they understood why the new technology was introduced, only 69% said they believed it would work in the fight against card crime.

Carl Clump, chief executive of Retail Decisions, which specialises in card fraud prevention and payment processing, admitted that Chip and Pin was just part of the overall anti-fraud picture. He warned that it was still important to monitor internet, mail order and telephone card transactions.

Clump added: 'In the long-term, fraudsters will find a way around the system as fraud is an ever-changing threat.'

Chip and Pin cards came into force on 1 January and require shoppers to type in their personal number rather than just writing their signature. According to Retail Decisions only 34% of users had had all their cards replaced with chip and Pin.

Initial fears that retailers would refuse to accept non-Chip and Pin cards from shoppers have proved misguided. Some visually-impaired customers have told This is Money of problems they've experienced in getting chip and signature cards. But, for the most part, the banks say the experience for disabled customers has been positive.

Excellent news coverage and a nice hike in price too.

Looks like we're definitely going places with RTD now.

The new website looks the part for a TM100 company:

No posts today folks ?

RTD will hit the TM100 at 8:00am tomorrow morning and we'll probably get an RNS just to let folks know who didn't already.

All depends on the MM's, though could well be a blue day...

OG

normally you dont get an RNS fo this - the last 5 entrants havent had one - i think the FTSE announcement last week is all you get. Wouldnt be surprised to see some games if the MMs need to get shares for the institutions (if they havent bought already)

waiting for next bottom

dell - that sounds a bit cheeky. I think that basic TA suggests 34p.

Isn't this thread quiet. Doesn't anybody know something. Where has Douggie gone on holidays? Has he taken Fundy with him?Or it going to remain dead until March 1st

Nice to see the sp pull back quickly this morning. Perhaps we are nearing a low-point resistance level? One can always hope.
