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.

Absolutely :)

From the article posted by Guy (guysands), you can really see why it shoots up on news and no news. Until the day that the MM's execute their plan or RTD post their own news then this will remain as is, I should imagine (only in my opinion!). Even long/large buying spree's make very little difference when they really should do.

I do believe ZOO and MMD will be hiked down again though, because, once the MM's have sold their shares (i.e. We have bought them all) and got a very good price for them, then there is no other reason for the MM to run the risk of buying shares from the clever traders that also try and sell their shares at the same time while ripping the one's that think it will go higher, off (which is really should go higher, given a fair chance).

It is silly really because this is not the way it's supposed to work. If a company is running economically and making money it should have every chance at gaining strength. Instead the MM's shaft the company and all the traders to line their pockets because they can :/

As already said, this is only my opinion!

Good luck to all!

Nitefly,

I like your equation:

Good Results + Strong buying pre results + Christmas online buying soon = Price drop

I think we can probably remove "Strong buying pre results" as the bulk of these were short term traders looking for a quick buck - it's the classic "buy on the rumour sell on the fact" tactic.

So, that gives us:

Good Results + Christmas online buying soon = Price Drop

RTD have had a lot of bad press in the past and I believe that a lot of investors are holding back to ensure that these results were not just a flash in the pan. When will they know? Either when news of a significant contract is announced or another upbeat trading statement is made. Christmas on-line buying will help but we won't know the figures on this until after Christmas.

This leaves us in Jan/Feb with:

Good Results + New Contract + On-line buying very strong = Exponential price rise for RTD !

Good luck to all.



Nitefly - 21 Oct 2003 10:13 - 222 of 2406

The ZOO cookie crumbles, until the next rise to get traders in.

Good luck all!

nematode - 21 Oct 2003 11:55 - 223 of 2406

I like RTD,the potential is huge with the list of their clients they've got,see their website!With christmas looming and any further contract news,who knows,there might be a good rise beyond 13.5p we saw recently.

scotinvestor - 21 Oct 2003 15:22 - 224 of 2406

and the rest, nematode

debuwebu - 21 Oct 2003 15:45 - 225 of 2406

what sort of rise are we realistically looking at around January time?
any guesses? Why?

nematode - 21 Oct 2003 20:05 - 226 of 2406

The rest well if you go on retail decisions website,you will see all the recent contracts announced.Obviously it's upto you as the investor to make your own mind up but when there are billions of "not present card" transactions then this speaks volumes for the kind of business rtd is in.Now I'm not saying RTD will go to 3 pound plus but 10p is also a ludicrous valuation.

blakester - 22 Oct 2003 12:24 - 227 of 2406

I know this stock is expected to boom soon and the general thought is that she's a sleeping giant ready to pop but is anybody with me in this investment
is a little like watching paint dry?

nematode - 22 Oct 2003 12:49 - 228 of 2406

I'm with you fellow but at the moment in the absence of any news what can one say except stay tight.When this share leaps it will leap.

nematode - 22 Oct 2003 13:07 - 229 of 2406

They have signed Chase, oil is up and Aus$ is very strong. That makes for good figures when the results are released. Until then, nothing to do but twiddle the ear hairs waiting for something, anything, to happen.

jfletendre - 22 Oct 2003 14:42 - 230 of 2406

Blakester - yep, I'm with you - 130,000 shares worth - like watching paint dry but not as exciting...

dalrymp - 22 Oct 2003 16:01 - 231 of 2406

A nice 540k buy....It won't be long now!

blakester - 22 Oct 2003 17:13 - 232 of 2406

Okay, I'm going to quote you dalrymp and hold my breath until the breakout :o)

scotinvestor - 22 Oct 2003 17:58 - 233 of 2406

RTD chart really is perfect for shooting up skywards. I've looked at a couple of companies recently who have rocketed and theres look remarkably similar to RTD at present before they took off.

I dont think it will be long now guys. Someone will mention internet stuff or something prior to crimbo at least and that will get it going.

Good luck to all RTD holders

overgrowth - 22 Oct 2003 19:26 - 234 of 2406

It looks as though everyone into RTD at the moment is prepared to hold on and I don't think any of us will be disappointed this time round.

I agree with scotinvestor on the chart front. Will the breakout be strong enough to blast through the 15p resistance barrier? If so, we could be looking at a very healthy price indeed for RTD next year.

Nitefly - 22 Oct 2003 21:30 - 235 of 2406

Its looking very positive at the moment.

Looking back over the past few weeks, we have seen some very large buys sneaking through. The most noticable I saw was the 800k+ that went through the other day and the 500k+ that went through today at 15:30.

Have no fear Blakester you are not the only holder here :) - Judging by the buying over the last few weeks, you (i.e. Anyone) are the odd one out if your are not holding already.

I too hold a rather large block and keep topping up in the dips. If Minmet(MNT) comes good in the next week or so, then I will take another 100k block at these prices;)

Good luck all!

nematode - 22 Oct 2003 21:57 - 236 of 2406

I agree,RTD has shown it has plenty upside and quite a few supporters.It is also holding very well at 10p so it's pretty robust.To be frank,I think this will race away once annoucements made regarding further contracts.

Douggie - 22 Oct 2003 23:16 - 237 of 2406

I,m with you, longing for a breakout from this 10/10.25p watching ZOO where I intended to be, but expected rtd to go first feeling as blue as I want to see rtd on my screen, a slow steady climbwill please me well, tho I would like to experience a ZOO type ride xfinger and best wishes ti kindred spirits..........:-))..I,m comforted by your positive postings keep em comin

dalrymp - 23 Oct 2003 00:20 - 238 of 2406

We have absolutey nothing to worry about! I hold 150,000 shares and will continue to hold. I've read on several BBs that the chart looks excellent for a break out. Come on RTD!

blakester - 23 Oct 2003 12:36 - 239 of 2406

A 0.5p drop! MM games? The Market collapsing? Or a buying opportunity.....
