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.

;o\

another 1ml+ bought not a flicker ah well!!!!!!!!!!

Douggie, are you calmer? Did you notice to-day some good sized buys with smaller sized sells. I guess tomorrow it will be up again. 8-)

Fred1new - you seem to have the right idea when it comes to holding RTD, Douggie would be better off trading them if he's so concerned about short-term moves.

Lastminute.com is being taken over by Travelocity (who are already one of RTD's many clients), Datacash are expanding internationally (who have a partnership with RTD) and everything else is business as usual (i.e. lots of profits coming in).

RTD's price has a habit of dipping after results and then picking up with a vengeance in the run up to the next ones - this time it will be running up to 40p+ IMHO.

There's been plenty of institutional buying still, interestingly at around the same time as all the Techinvest stop-losses kicked in - retail punters forcing themselves to sell a good share at a loss only to line the pockets of the big boys...ah well.

Stop losses are a great idea and essential when dealing with derivatives, however when investing in a relatively small high growth company I think that they can prove to be more of a hinderance than a help.

The May Department Stores

Sales rose 2.5% to $3.61 billion for 1st quarter

this is also a RTD customer

The way i see it right now
Quite a few people are panic selling thire shares, i kinda understand the reason why...no-one like to lose any of their profits.

But look at the bigger picture, RTD is a growth company and a money making one too.

IMHO...RTD will be priced in the mid 40's later this year, thats if it is not taken over before then.

I for one ,can handle all the sells as long as someone is snapping them up and slowly but surely, day by day someone is/are...

Dont mind if it does drop a bit more as i will top up big time..., but personally can't see it going below 28p

Also look out for a RNS in the coming days with announcement of more stakebuilding in RTD.

Just relax...sit back...and enjoy the ride..

Good luck

Folks - I've just started a new thread for Mediwatch, because the old one was hugely outdated and the original poster appears to be long gone. It looks as though the RTD thread is suffering from the same problems.

Let me know if you want me to create a new thread, so that we can at least see some charts for a change.

overgrowth and Parveen. I feel the sameway about RTD and although in the distant past I did sell a lump at its height I was astute enough (Astute means lucky) at 5 selling a few at about twenty and buying back a little lower I will probably be a longterm holder and have bought some in sipps for two of my kids. Stop losses although I keep harping on about them I find in some types of shares a little more difficult to implement especially those with wide spreads and small market sizes also basic thoughts about why and what I expected from the share when I bought it. I beginning to realise I know less about the market now than when I started buying shares, but thankfully seem to be making less expensive mistakes.Now that I have written this watch the Market drop to-morrow.

Fred ... sorry to find....on tiny sell.... your 2364 post prediction wrong!..so far..! may you be corect later in day....xfinger ;-/

Yes please OG a thread with charts would be very helpful the MDW one youve done is much better.

OG

If you do start a new thread could you please put a link to this one in the header - at results times i like to go back and read how people were reacting the previous year

still on the sidelines, will get back in, just not convinced there isnt slightly further to fall first based more on general market conditions than company specific. The other factor that concerns me is what will happen if whoever is mopping up all the RI sales as has been going on recently stops doing so as most RIs dont seem to be buying at the moment.

good luck to all who continue to hold

If they are paying you more than the bid price for your shares

They want them badly.....

Look for another big buy at the end of the day

a nice juicy 200k buy

!

!!

Calm down Douggie - it may never happen!

???????..........!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now look what you have done - hysteria reigns, happy?

Yes please OG

zscrooge - if you're talking about the new thread, follow this link (it's been there for some time so there are plenty of posts already):

Why have you started the new thread? This was working fine and now people are confused - there is far more history in this one. I read what you said about the graphs but not everyone wants the graphs and if they do then they are only a button away. As far as you stating I'm not around anymore, I did post saying I didn't hold any RTD atm and so wouldn't be posting, but I would post again once I did hold some. Many if not all threads are not dependent on the original poster? it's what history is in the thread that counts.
