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 sold at 23.06 but have since bought back in. Still no reason why it should not hi 25- 29 by the time the results are posted.

hope so washlander.

US gangs target cardholders in new scam



HOLDERS of credit and debit cards have been warned never to disclose card details over the telephone. This follows a spate of bogus calls this week from criminals who claim to be from MasterCard and Visa.
Thieves telephone the cardholder regarding a fictitious fraudulent transaction made on their account. The victim is then asked to reveal the card’s three-digit security code, printed on the back, to confirm that he or she is the cardholder.



When this is disclosed, the thieves can commit card-not-present fraud, in which goods and services are fraudulently bought over the telephone or internet. Without the three-digit code, most retailers and merchants will refuse remote card transactions.

Two Money readers were called this week by crooks using the Visa and MasterCard scam to steal their security codes. MasterCard suspects that criminal gangs have gained cardholders’ account details, possibly by hacking into an online merchant’s database, and have then used Directory Enquiry searches to obtain their telephone numbers.

Times Money revealed last year how thousands of people are plagued with nuisance telephone calls. This pernicious brand of cold-calling underlines the need for the public to be wary of unwanted calls.

Steve Vanhinsbergh, senior manager of fraud control at Visa, says: “This type of fraud has been flying around for the past 18 months. Using the telephone to acquire people’s card verification codes is a new variation on an old scam.”

Visa and MasterCard warn cardholders that they should never disclose their account or security details when answering a phone call. They advise customers to terminate such calls and to warn the card issuer by phoning the number printed on card statements.

MasterCard blames fraudsters in the US for recent calls because customers were given US call-back numbers. In a similar e-mail scam, eBay.com and PayPal.com had security systems compromised when fraudsters sent e-mails, apparently from these online retailers, asking customers for card details.

Card-not-present offences are the fastest-growing type of fraud globally. Their cost has increased from 73 million a year in 2000 to 110 million last year. More criminals are expected to move into this type of fraud as a result of this year’s switch to chip and PIN, the new anti-fraud initiative pioneered by the banks.

Chip and PIN cards are encrypted with an electronic chip, which makes them extremely difficult to counterfeit, while a four-digit PIN will prevent the use of lost or stolen cards — unless the PIN has been unwittingly disclosed.

Richard Smith, risk services manager at MasterCard, says: “Naturally, fraud will migrate, with the roll-out of chip and PIN to mail-order telephone and internet transactions. But we are developing new technology to tackle this threat.”

Worth looking at RTD's USA web site folks if you haven't seen it already. An impressive list of clients:

RTD also gets a very favourable mention by Robbie Burns in The Sunday Times:

The MMs are still a bit low on stock - they didn't expect the strength of buying that was seen on Friday. Looks like another up day tomorrow :-)

With all this news & such strong financial results expected in just over a month, I can not understand the price drop, is 28-30pence still not expected before the march 11th results?

how many people have sold there stock?

Still holding and will do for the foreseable future.

same here holding and will remain for foreseable future

In for the long term - I personally don't think we will see 28-30p before the results - though we may do so after the results

Added 100k this am @ 20

Lol better go I have been adding. I agree 28-30 a bit excessive. More realistic at 23-25

i sold last week at 22.80,although want to get back in but not sure whether the price is fair value at prescent,having almost doubled since september,trd havent won any new contracts,they have been cost cutting to squeeze out more profit,and also not sure where the growth is going to come from with the into of chip and pin,obvously crooks will look more into the card not present area and increase perhaps that way by the internet,and above all there are no institutional holders out there.

Re : institutional holders, read the RNS!

Still holding and I'm prepared to ride the dips. I've been looking into putting some RTD into an ISA to lessen the blow from the taxman when the price rises to above 1.

Overgrowth - sensible idea - I've 90,000 in my ISA from 10p and the taxman isn't having a penny of it!

i bailed out yesterday! might by in again today if there is a bit more of a drop.

what is happening to this stock?
down again today

i guess takeover bid has gone quiet so day traders have jumped ship bringing share price down and with the probable announcement of interest rate hike tomorrow doesnt help.
i would think this is all temporary though. not a real worry so long term this stock will continue.
