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.

Any reason for the sudden price rise? Press?

Good review in Shares yesterday? Haven't heard of much else ..

Confirmation of a massive holding from Barclays is enough to convince the MMs that buyers will be prepared to pay more for their RTD shares - hence the healthy rise.

All the institutional support which RTD has now, should also ensure that there is minimal slippage in the price now, so I don't think we'll be able to buy at bargain prices (i.e. below 30p) again.

Nice one holders hope it goes well for you,still watching for that 26 {no hope}.

Cheers Dave - looks as though it's next stop 40p (unfortunately for you).

Thanks for that.

This should help the SP for a while.

RNS Number:8698K Retail Decisions PLC 11 April 2005 Retail Decisions works with Mi-Pay to deliver pre-pay top-up to Mobile Operators London, 11 April 2005: Retail Decisions (ReD), the fuel card operator and a world leader in card fraud prevention and payment processing, announces a broadening of its services in the telecommunications and mobile sector and its investment and partnership with Mi-Pay Ltd, a micropayments and mobile pre-pay solution provider. Mobile operators currently use a variety of methods for customers to top-up their mobile phones. These methods include calling the mobile network operator, through the Internet and at the point of sale. Mobile network operators are now aiming for 40 per cent of top-up transactions to be performed directly via the handset by the end of 2007. Recognising this emerging technological development, in 2004, ReD made a 20% equity investment in Mi-Pay whose service portfolio allows mobile phone users to top-up directly through the handset, making payments easier. In addition, ReD is also partnering with Mi-Pay by providing its payment gateway and card fraud prevention services to Mi-Pay's customers. ReD is already the largest processor of pre-pay mobile transactions in the UK through card-not-present channels. ReD's mobile telecoms clients include: T-Mobile, Virgin Mobile and O2 amongst others. In Western Europe alone, the pre -paid mobile top-up market is valued at around Euro 30 billion. There are 200 million mobile handsets in use in Europe and on average each user makes 10 top-up payments per annum, giving a total of 2 billion transactions per annum. Established in 2003, Mi-Pay delivers mobile network operators with significant cost reductions for pre-paid services such as mobile top-up and e-money account re-charging, and as such makes these services financially viable. The company has recently won a contract with Telfort one of the largest mobile operators in the Netherlands. Mi-Pay is led by Norman Frankel, who was formerly the Mobile Commerce Director of LogicaCMG. Prior to that Norman was Group Head of New Media at NatWest. Chief Executive of ReD, Carl Clump, said: "We are delighted to have invested in Mi-Pay as a strategic partner in this important growth sector. It is clear to us that mobile payments are the next revolution in the payments market and our partnership with Mi-Pay gives us access to their in-depth understanding of that market plus a new and growing revenue line". Managing Director of Mi-Pay, Norman Frankel, added: 'Mobile network operators, looking at ways to reduce costs and direct customers to easier payment channels, are now prompting the evolution of the third generation of the pre-paid top-up. Until now the mobile payment option has been too expensive, but with the Mi-Pay solution it is finally viable. It is a major coup for us to have the support of ReD's leading payment processing and card fraud prevention capabilities as well as their global expertise which will significantly strengthen our proposition.' - ends - Enquiries: Retail Decisions plc +44 1483 728 700 Carl Clump, CEO Trade enquiries: ING MEDIA +44 207 247 8334 Leanne Tritton,

Aussie Fuel prices up again last week by 2 cents a litre

new record high

More money for RTD

Look at the amazing symmetry on the 4 year chart:



This seems to suggest that the price is going to 60p in the next 3 months, if the symmetry continues...

I love symmetrical patterns but they rarely occur in practice - more's the pity.

Quite a few large buys at the end of the day on relatively low volumes. SP up a 1p to-morrow.

OK, who knows something?

pachandl - Well, I know there's tons more mileage in RTD yet and am looking forward to the sp passing the last conceivable resistance point at around 60p this year and slightly longer term I believe that we'll be looking at well over 1.

It appears that I'm not the only one to think this either - institutions are buying in heavily and taking all the shares away from the bulk of the retail holders (apart from our good selves of course).

We're getting very close to the point where all Joe Punter's sales have been absorbed. Any solid trading news from this point is going to attract large insti. buys which will continue to push the price up nicely.

Fuel prices in Oz continue at all time highs - as RTD get a sizeable chunk of their profits from this business, they must have had a very healthy 2005 so far.

In addition, the Federation Stores deal in the US is huge business, though many of the small investors here failed to realise the potential (more buyers from the US came in as result of this though).

Well done Fred ......... at 15:45 I would't have bet much in fact nowt on your
prdiction post 2307 ..

:o)))))) ( how nice to have a big smile again)

Douggie, Isn't it time for you to pack your bags and go on holiday for a week or two. Preferably taking BPRG with you.

As Aussie petrol prices are so high presumably we can expect another rns from RTD which states that trading is "materially" ahead of expectations. I suppose that would normally occur in late May but with the AGM coming up we might get a sneak preview (hopefully).

pachandl - that would be a fine thing indeed.

I reckon another trading statement like that would light the blue touchpaper on RTD again, sending the price way past 40p.

Hi FRed it sure is,... best I can aford at the mo. is a North sea ferry trip next Tue. two nights asleep onboard and a day walking round Keukenhof gardens(bulb fields)....

need these to double again then I will feel I can start taking some profit,
don't want to dilute my holding yet, in meantime bit of a cash flow problem! ;o\
