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.

Javidshaik :- Ref RTD I first bought 1000's worth @ 240ish in mar/apr 2000 sold @ 385 Made 600/60% in a week. I had not long been trading at the time and was very pleased.
Last bought them in July 2003 @ 10.5, was worth the waite me thinks!

chartist2004: so you are back for another slice now eh!
i think we can expect a bit of profit taking this evening and tomorrow with short term day traders but to everyone who holds RTD, hold on to them tight for the time being. I think we will see much more upside to come.

Does anyone know what date in March the results will be published?

Last year was 11th March so I expect a similar date.

Up nearly 4.5% so far this morning.

Isnt it funny how far good news can travel in a short time. Speaking on the phone to my friend in Spain today (I work in the IT industry and he works in the financial industry), he initiated the conversation and was raving about RTD's outlook and how his colleagues were going to invest in to this massive potential company.
Another good day with RTD and generally on the markets.
Have a good weekend everyone.

:-)))) brill week...much to look forward to Doug.

Hi
Anyone know how much per transaction rtd get when a credit card is used ?

I remember seeing it somewhere, don't remember the figure.

Check the annual report, see their website, check earlier msgs in this thread.

Hi
lots of activity this morning did it get write up over weekend or is this just a continuation from last weeks momentum either way more money in my pocket this is looking like 20/25p on the cards soon :-))

This share spiked at 365.66 in 2000 and finished around the 1.00 mark at the end of 2002. With the rise in internet shopping and broadband taking such a hold, it is no wonder there is such speculation with this company. The potential for growth seems very good. Does anybody have an idea of the PE ratio of this company within the sector at todays prices. Many thanks in advance.

Washlander,

some quick and dirty figures (all based on share price of 17.75p)

2002 profit was 2.02m with an EPS of 0.48p per share and a historical PE of 37
2003 profit - analysts consensus forecast a profit of 4.7m with an EPS of 1.14p per share and a forward PE ratio of 15.6.
However, 21st Nov trading statement said second half profits would be higher than first half profits which were 2.8m.
hence on a profit of 5.6m, EPS of 1.36p and a PE ratio of 13.1
on a profit of 6m, EPS is 1.46p and a PE Ratio of 12.2
on a profit of 7m (now I'm dreaming), EPS is 1.70p and a PE ratio of 10.5

If you take the worse case scenario of a profit of 4.7m then an EPS of 15.6 doesn't look overly demanding for a company with the growth potential of RTD. My personal opinion is that profits will be between 5.5m and 6.0m (based on the nov update) giving a PE of 12 - 13 which I believe undervalues the company.

Hence I still expect to see further increases once the results are announced.
Normal caveats apply - all IMHO and DYOR if you are going to buy/sell these shares

Thanks for that Fundamentalist

???lot uncertainty? value this share today near 8mln traded 3.6/1 buy/sell????...:-((

Thanks to all in this thread for keeping me in this one for so long but I sold this am. Its an interesting stock tho' and I will no doubt buy again - knowing my luck at higher prices !

Caleydog

Out of interest, why did you choose to sell today? I am holding this for the long term but it would be interesting to know the rationale behind any sales.

Thank you fundamentalist for the info. I bought into the stock again today, topping up my shares. The amount held in this stock amounts to about a third of the total amount of cash for my portfolio. I agree with you that there is still a long way to go over the next few years as far as growth is concerned. Where I afford,I will still be buying in.

4 time as many buys as sells today!

I'm staying in.

There is a long way to go yet.

BTW have you seen CNE up 40%. Much more to come with such a big oil strike.

Hi All

My last posting reflected on why the share price had not inflated post interims in September 2003.

Back in September 'Jenty' commented the following update on the following website:

www.thisismoney.com/sections/section.asp?story=67648&sec=2&sections=4

Posted interims, a number of financial players evaluated RTD was on the path of sustainable recovery. Oriel Securities suggested 4.3 million full profit.

@ 17.5p RTD is valued at 49.5 million. With 280 millions share in circulation and projected profit of 4.3 million, makes p/e of 11. Still very very cheap.

Lets factor in recent news, Directors buying and upbeat statements and express this as respectable p/e of 20, this would rate the share price at 28p. I believe 28p is a target price before the release of full year resultsd in March.

As for 2004, personally I believe profits will approach 8 million in 2004/5 which suggests target price of 48p. This values RTD at 137 million with multiple of 17.

This share ramains a big buy.

rasool....thanks :-)))))
