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.

RTD GOING TO IMPRESS THE MARKET...CAUGHT ME OFF GAURD THIS TIME..

Wish i'd bought more at 9.5p now, could well be last time we evr see them at that level again..!

Ahhh...hindsight is a wonderful thing Jules99 :o)

Now, hopefully, if all you guys can refrain from profit taking tomorrow and therefore driving the price back down, we can see REAL highs before the years out!

the rise today only brought me back to break-even, plus a few pints & a packet of scampy fries at the union. So I've taken my 15 odd quid and am off..

Retail Decisions sees significantly higher FY profits
null


LONDON (AFX) - Retail Decisions PLC said it expects to report significantly higher profits for the full year due to strong trading, cost reduction and favourable exchange rates.

In a trading statement, the company revised its expectations on its adjusted operating profit in the second half, saying the figure is expected to come in higher against the first half.

In September, the company had warned it was unlikely to report a higher adjusted operating profit for the second half, compared to the first half.

It attributed the change in the outlook to the stronger-than-expected trading, significant cost reduction and containment programme implemented last year. The company also continued to benefit from favourable exchange rates, particularly with the Australian dollar.

The company also announced that its group finance director, William Good will leave the company on Dec 31.

In addition, its cash position will also be stronger than originally envisaged.

Retail Decisions will publish its year to December results in early March.

Chief executive Carl Clump said: 'The business has continued to perform well since we published our interim result early in September, particularly in Australia and the US. Furthermore, the anticipated downturn in the group's legacy business in Europe is now not expected until next year.

''Although we are very pleased to see the strategy we implemented over the last few years bearing fruit, customers are still deferring expenditure when possible.

'The introduction of chip and pin in the UK will impact our legacy business, which is exactly why our strategy over the last three years has been to focus on developing our card not present fraud prevention business worldwide,' Clump added.

Fantastic news - it all bodes very well for the future.

I agree with Blakester, though I think we're now looking at a different RTD - much stronger than its former self.

Consistent success alerts the City and chunky buys from those guys will soon wipe out the odd penny off the share price caused by overly eager small sellers.

This rise should be just the start. I've said all along just to be patient until next results and now we have had an update of their statement.

I agree with Jules - i don't think we'll see RTD around 9 or 10p for a long time now. Hopefully never again

Back down she goes....

With all the profit taking that was to be expected it has gone back down yet again. My views on this company have not changed from the beginning, I bought in at 9.1p and will take back some money in March after the results have been published, but I'll leave about 80% of my stake in this company for a while, the rewards look promising and worth the wait!!!!

As per my post yesterday, this stock has superb potential its just the horrendous profit taking after each and every, slight rise that will continually hold back its progress.

try and relax blakester. I am still on a loss for this but intend to hold long term. When results are finally given, i'm sure RTD will rise quite a bit again and hopefully then the share will start to make that long northward climb.

Just wish we dont have all these weak RTD holders who sell all the time

(deep breath) okay.... :o)

Down -8.9% now? For the love of pete!!!!!!

from another site:

'Picked this off 'drugbaron' on Advfn. Thought you may all be interested.I have just spoken to the house brokers. There is no reason for the share price movement down. This share is very much a retail driven share, large institutions are not in at the moment. However the house broker is working on that - this will give the stock a lot more stability when / if the buy in starts (they were being very coy about this). The crux of my conversation was that this stock is very much undervalued based on what they expect for final year. As stated RTD has got a chequered past to overcome, this is why we do not see the consistent rise. However they view the company has "turned around" for the better. They also state that the shares are very liquid and this provides the opportunity for those trading the shares, there is often no reason for the shares to move, but as the broker states they are very liquid and hence trading opportunities and volatile price movements – Don’t believe me call the house brokers a talk to them! This makes me fell a whole lot better as once a third good statement is made city confidence and sentiment will change – I think you may miss the boat by then because all the big boys would have piled in by then.'

Well although the post by rasool was very informative I have had enough. On Friday I sold my holding of 182149 for a 1500 loss and put it all into Cybit holding. That has already gone up significantly so i think I did the right thing. Might look again at the shares closer to March but for now I am licking my wounds.

Good luck for everyone who stays!!

I always foundd when I sold a stock...It rose..

I think The company statment last week says it all...RETAIL DECISONSS earming are well ahead of forcasts again, This company has turned around offically, I now have even more confidence in Holding the stock as the price will rise will evenyually rise above the 20-30p target, BB's had been speculating about for christmas...

HOLDING TIGHT...JULES99.

I'm Holding.

If I had sold them when they jumped 17% then I would have bought again when the profit taking was over.

I'm still in profit on this 1.

If more profit taking takes it back to the level where I bought then I may buy some more.

DYOR

I keep doing it on this 1 & keep reassuring myself.

I'm not expecting a quick profit but it will hold on to upward movements eventually.

Taken from another BB - this user has emailed RTD and this is Carl Clumps response:


Here is the response to my mail by Carl Clump - which you may find interesting. I have replied and will let you know what the response to that is. Anyone spot the article on UPS starting up a payment protection service soon ("The Business", this Sunday)?

I am pleased to note that Mr Clump follows comments on this board...

Initial Response:

FROM CARL CLUMP


Thank you for your email to Nigel Whittaker, which I understand is now on the bulletin boards.

As you will see from the attachment, the week has so far been extremely busy. I will respond with some details in the near future,.

Thank you for your interest and observations.

Carl Clump

Carl's later response:

You are right. On-line fraud is receiving a great deal of attention. It is interesting that what grabbed the headlines is the problem of on-line fraud, rather than the fact that there is a solution to the problem.

I can assure you that we do not believe that "the market will beat a path to its door without any effort from within". Most, but not all, of our PR spend has been focused on the USA, the largest payments market in the world.

For the year to date, in North America, ReD has featured in:

a. 76 interviews and extended articles in trade publications;

b. 57 trade media placements including on-line publications; and,

c. 19 consumer media placements.

The first two categories we estimate would reach 50 million target recipients.

Indeed, if you have access, you will also see ReD on Bloomberg USA's Small Business programme at 2.00 p.m. EST on 25th November.

We also seek editorial publicity in the UK, and this year we have received coverage in several trade or specialist publications including Techinvest, Retail Systems, Internet Retailer, SystemHouse, European Card Review and BRC Solutions as well as in the national financial press.

Our target customers are large merchants, transaction acquirers and aggregators of transactions. We have looked at various advertising media before and found that they are typically not appropriate for reaching these customer groupings. Instead, we prefer to get editorial coverage and participate at trade shows, conferences and payments events, as well as identifying and speaking directly with target customers.

This approach has resulted in our providing our services to the world's largest retailer, Europe's largest retailer, North America's largest acquirer of CNP transactions as well as Europe's to name but a few.

Of course, we can always do better. We do not operate with huge marketing budgets, but we do try and deliver "the biggest bang for our shareholders's bucks".

I'm sure when resuklts are finally posted (sometime in Jan probably) then RTD will go much higher. We might need to wait again for that to happen but i'm sure RTD will go much higher through time. I'm not too bothered by it all as i'll wait.

Great post above.

Has everyone fallen asleep?

Nice movement this afternoon. . . at last ;o)

PERHAPS Last week most of the long term holders who bought in higher were shaken out by the 17% rise.

So maybe we can see some real progress at last until the next profit take.

Hope it will be 15p before that but I expect it will be 13p before the next lot profit take.

Just sold ARM for 120.2p so I might buy more at the next profit take, pity I wasn't quick enough with that cash before this rise.
