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.

Mornin ALL

morninFred lol

:o)))

Strange to see the price move 1.25p when there is relatively little volume. Is there a secret buyer or are MMs simply trapping the unwary retail investor in the run up to results?

900K O trade appears to be a sell - could they be filling a buy order hence the rise??? Be nice to see a large T trade later

Fund - totally agree. Current thinking is that it is a sell (unless it has taken since 8.00 to fill - a bit unlikely). My hope is that we see a T Trade at 4.00 onwards. I certainly do not weant to see GS offloading!

We got two T trades but didn't stop a fall back ..still 0.5p better n nowt..mabe blue again tommrrer as has been said often slowy surely upwards ok.

I love the spikes UP but hate the dips DOWN that follow xfinger 40p by 1st. X

Very low volume so far - I would expect a drop of 0.5p in the sp if this continues today.

pachandl,

No surprise to see RTD level at the bell.

Don't forget that RTD have moved on - they're no longer a penny share where the price zooms up and down on low volume.

Performance of the Nas will have the most impact on RTD's sp in the future.

O/G - still surprised that we held steady but it suggests that we may be consolidating for the moment with a possible push forwards as results' day beckons. Here's hoping!

Oops, spoke too soon. Very few want to buy at present (although 35.7p+ trades are all buys) - anyone heard of any bad news? From now on I will keep my mouth shut when I feel a prediction coming on.

Begining to look to me like a rerun of last year at this time great excitment in belief of sp gain up results collapsed into big fallback, I do hope I am wrong, but there has been no progress since entry into TM100 .. ;-/

I always thought that the actual day for T100 entry was a side-show as most fund managers/trackers had already bought in anticipation of entry. Not that this helps us now.

Douggie you needn't worry. end of the days ballance Buys up and through the afternoon small sized sells and bigger buys. I think up a penny to-morrow, down a penny Friday.

It's my birthday started 68th year was looking forward to 40p pressy ah well

Happy birthday grandad ;))

Barlcays have now acquired 4.01% of the shares in issue. Promising.

happy birthday to you
happy birthday to you
happy birthday to Douggie
happy birthday to you

Another volatile day i see, positive news of another institution buying

Douggie congratulations, what is it like at your age?










And behaving younger.

wrinkled, shrivled and pointing down I would imagine

Douggie - happy birthday. Let's hope RTD gives you a belated birthday present -preferably before 16.02.06. I notice that on ADV there is an ongoing discussion about whether the rns is actually saying that Barclays have bought or sold. I think it depends upon whether Barclays stockbrokers is the same as Barclays nominee accounts - I don't believe they are.

Pach

its very simple - the 2 are separate entities.

The holding under barclays stockbrokers is the same as the holdings by waterhouse, comdirect etc - they are the shares held on behalf of their retail clients - ie you, me, douggie etc

todays rns relates to barclays as an institutional investor - completely separate and a large chunk of it is likely to be their tracker funds

Fund - yes, I agree it is very simple which is why I posted as much on ADV yesterday evening. Strange how some people refuse to accept the obvious. Cheers.
