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.

I see most people here feel that it will be 30 pence by christmas, as a fellow RTD holder I am keeping hold of my shares and using this lull in price to top up my shares, but as a novice investor, could someone please explain to me, what factors will push these stocks up to 30 pence, I can understand about the christmas shopping, the strangth of the aussie dollar, but this is information we have now, why is it not affecting the stock price now?
to any and all that answer your input will be most welcome

I'm happy to hold at least until next results 15-18p would be nice before xmas and 30p would see christmas in Barbados....

I have a question though,
I'm a bit unsure as to why Xmas shopping would push price up before the event. Wouldn't that activity be reflected in final results ie once they've worked out how much business they've done rather than might do?

RETAIL DECISIONS ENHANCES PAYMENT PRODUCT TO OFFER DYNAMIC CURRENCY CONVERSION THROUGH CHASE MERCHANT SERVICES.


This is good news...Would somebody please put the whole statement on this BB please. (I would, but I can't) Thanks!

Here is the article. It was released at 12.30pm today.


Retail Decisions Enhances Payment Product to Offer Dynamic Currency Conversion through Chase Merchant Services 29 September 2003

HAZLET, NJ (September 29, 2003) - Retail Decisions, an international supplier of payment card fraud prevention and value added transaction services, today announced, in conjunction with Chase Merchant Services, LLC, the release of Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC). DCC is now available through LiveProcessor ™, the company’s electronic payment processing solution and through ReD1™, Retail Decisions’ fully managed payment gateway service.

Effective immediately, e-commerce merchants can guarantee prices in local currencies thereby eliminating the known risks associated with currency conversion. Merchants opting for DCC can perform transactions in the currency of the cardholder’s billing address, reflect merchandise price in the local monetary unit and receive payment in their native currency. Also, DCC eliminates Card Issuer and Association conversion fees and returns lost conversion-rate-revenue directly to the merchant.

Retail Decisions and Chase Merchant Services will market the new service to Chase Merchant Services’ existing 84,000 merchants who process in excess of 2.9 billion annual transactions. By using DCC in combination with ebitGuard™, ReD’s fully-managed global fraud prevention service, merchants are now not only protected from the risk associated with foreign exchange rates but are also able to safely accept non US-based credit cards in the knowledge that they are protected against international payment card fraud.

According to Greg Cornwell, SVP Business Development at Chase Merchant Services, “We’ve received overwhelming demand for an alternative currency conversion tool that not only reduces costs but increases customer satisfaction by offering more flexibility and control in payments. We looked to Retail Decisions, as a trusted and proactive partner of ours, to assist Chase Merchant Services in bringing this feature to market in an expedient manner.”

The Chase Merchant Services DCC service adds further value to the turn-key payment gateway solution offered by Retail Decisions and includes unique features like:
A published foreign exchange rate, Reuters, which is updated daily
Authorization logging in dual currencies for easy look up
Transaction authorization and settlement in the cardholder’s local currency
Transaction authorization and settlement using US multi-currency certified BINs and ICAs
Specific reversal and authorization Modules developed to facilitate automated incrementals
Complete authorization and settlement matching in both US and local currency to ensure integrity of clearing transaction
Consolidated back end reporting for easy merchant reconciliation
Free data analysis and Hit Rate reporting available on request.

“The continued evolution of ReD’s payment processing services is a testament to our commitment to provide e-commerce retailers with market-leading solutions to their card processing needs, “ said Carl Clump, CEO of Retail Decisions. “As a leader in the provision of payment card processing and risk management services, ReD ensures that its customers can expect many more progressive offerings in the near future.

Best of luck all.

The bulls are back! Dow up 194 - Nasdaq up 45 - S&P up 22 - Nikkei up 232 - ASX 200 up 40 - HSI up 298 WOW!

Broadest US rally in more than 2 years!

Looking good for ReD as companies here and in the US recover and go shopping for the kind of products and services that Retail Decisions has to offer. Remember "ReD ensures that it's customers can expect many more progressive offerings in the near future"

Global economy is growing and ReD is well positioned all over the world!

third try this week to make gain this on above good news is this what we,ve all been waiting for, i do hope so i,m out 20% at mo xfinger best wishes all

Douggie

I'm out too but I am confidant for the future. Something seems to be going on as the price has ticked up on low volume. I wonder if a big buy is on the cards. Does anyone out there have any ideas...LEVEL 2 anyone?

Anyone owning up to that 200,000 sell at 9.60. It looks more like a buy to me just .025 below mid on a a big trade. I've seen my own trades be mis reported on MoneyAM and don't have level2 yet.

slap me down if I'm wrong! ;)

ricardopage

I don't think you are wrong. I've seen it happen several times and always with large amounts.

Can anyone confirm whether the trade for 200,000 was a buy or a sell?

I am using Sharescope and I do not see a trade for 200,000
As of 12.13pm I have showing 176,000 sells and 70,000 buys.
I am with most other people on this. As soon as we have some major positive news, this stock is gonna go north and everyone holding this stock are gonna benefit greatly!

Good luck to everyone holdong RTD.

Javid

P.S.

to be fair to MoneyAM it is below the mid price so they've reported it in accordance with their terms & conditions.

dalrymp, Yes it does happen quite often, first time I saw something similar I jumped ship only for price to take off and leave me behind (not with RTD). I've learned a bit scince then though...

.

ricardopage

I agree, it's only mean't to be a guide.


Anyway the main thing is we are ticking up nicely and have found good resistance at 9.25

...

Well at least we ticked up today and managed to hold onto some gain today.


Tomorrow is another day...Good Luck all who hold RTD.

BBC London News tonight.

Re Chip and Pin cards. They interviewed a lawyer who specializes in credit card fraud. He was saying that as counter transactions become more secure then internet and phone sales will be targeted more by the fraudsters.

Basically he was saying that as counter fraud decreases then card not present (internet and phone sales) fraud will increase to the tune of 100,000,000 per year.

BETTER CALL IN RETAIL DECISIONS THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A couple of big buys went through late today...maybe somethings going on???!!!!
