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.

Roro If you turn your E-mail facility on I may send you the info.

Fundy,

What is the significanceof the following:

Is it notifying because of recent buying and being above notifiable holding, or anotifying reduction in hold?

appears to me that GS have added another 1m shares, the RNS required because they breached the 4% level. also appears to be a few 1m trades gone through after this today, maybe another announcement soon?


I am currently out of these though watching closely, as mentioned previously i sold most on day of results and sold the rest last week. Still have a lot of faith in the long term potential of the company though felt the results were disappointing (compared to expectations) hence i sold - will look to buy back in, hopefully at 27/28p.

My disappointment with the results was that the growth in CNP was much smaller than I hoped for and the decline in CP greater, with the net effect being that the two all but cancelled each other out.

At the moment the chart looks messy (head and shoulders?) with the up trend looking like it has been broken for now. I feel that the drift will continue in the short term unless there are more contract announcements

good luck to all holders, will no doubt be back sooner rather than later though will continue to watch closely

Last 1ml trade sell or buy ??

any prediction for tomorow

;o\

Interesting. I would guess it was trade as prior transaction at same size and price. But last quoted as buy ???

2 million shares bought at close of play according to advfn.

Looks like good news that the big boys are still buying large chunks, it also appears that the price was excessively walked down so that the large buys could be fulfilled at the right price.

If all this theory holds true, we should be in for a decent tick up tomorrow.

Game on Goldman Sachs

The sooner we get rid of these short termers the better for RTD

Fundy, You must be looking at the same chart. There appears 2 gaps one closed but!!. Also on the intra-day chart there were a couple of down gaps. But the size of buys would suggest the smaller holders are still taking their profits. I think your timing is better than mine. (Retrospection) I will just watch but ""guess"" end of week it will be higher or you will be able to buy a pot at 25-26p. Not to bad day all round though, but must improve my selling.

Interesting post from The Analyst on advfn:

"All....

i sent an email to RTD asking for confimation that the Federated contract was for CNP and when they expected to go live with it....

Got the following reply today...

"
Thank you for your email.

In answer to your queries, the contract is for CNP and it went live prior to Christmas.

Yours sincerely

So, we should already be earning from it. No doubt we'll get an update at the AGM.

Federated are huge in the US and even more so now given their recent acquisition. It appears that this is why Goldman Sachs are happy to continue ploughing in the cash - they can forecast accurately the phenomenal returns to come, they will also have a better handle than the rest of us on RTD's status in the US - i.e. that they are competing extremely well against Cybersource and scooping up contracts all over the place.

morning all good buys going through this am but notic up yet MMs very reluctant to give anythindg on sp ? ;o\

still nice bonus I spose for those smart confident enough to sell at/near top and buy back good luck to them ;o)

I still want sp back to high 30s at least.... now please ;-/

Douggie

based on the last set of results and current chart, on what basis do you expect a share price in the high 30's?

HOPE....!!!!! ;-/ ?

Douggie - I have spoken to all the MMs threatening them with permanent injury unless they start pushing the price up. So far it has had little effect - either they are bigger than I am or they don't want to lose their jobs.

I suppose we'll just have to rely on RTD to announce some more contracts then.

Patience. Wait and see buying at the end of the day.

:o))

Nice rise today with steady buys already this morning, with more to come later after 9.00am

morning all :o))
