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.

this was stated in Internet Retailer 26.01.04..


Online sales growth exceeds 30% for 3rd straight week this year

stay long (i said that)..

fundamentalist - i know whatever my previous post may have said but i change according to my criteria and principles. if a share breaks my startegy rules then i act accordingly. i mentioned share has broken below support 22p and it is also now below my moving average. for that reason i have sold. it is as simple as that!
would i continue if this share took a dive heading toward 9p? no, my stop would close me out no matter how much of a long term holder i was. the support is very important to me and it has broken that rule. i am out, i wish all who hold good luck as i know this is a good company going places and will do well. i will be back in either when this share goes down to next support and stays above it or goes above recent high (23p) breaking resistance. until then, i shall use my money toward the futures market.

What we are saying is then don't use this bb to advertise your intentions by claiming to be a philantrophist when all you are a 100% bonafide capitalist,in other words some of your previous messages were more like advise to the unsuspecting rather than the an outline of your own AGENDA.

this is a BB and thus i am allowed freedom of speech!
if i change my mind then i am entiteld to. dont be so arrogant to tell me what i can or cannot do you fool!
i use BB's to find out more info i may have missed myself elsewhere and other peoples views. i dont follow what anyone else does on here, i do my own thing and i dont expect anyone to follow what i do. now for the second time nematode, click my name and contact me directly. we can discuss this further privately if you want as opposed to dragging this thread down with what is fast becoming a non rtd thread.

Stop it off the pair of you. We are all adults capable of making our own decisions. I am still in and will continue to stay for the forseeable future. There appears no valid reason why this share is falling other than market sentiment. The news [whatever its worth] still points to a good year and xmas for this company.

Right.I will draw the line underneath this matter!!!Now where have I heard this one before.....

looking at the graph (and excluding market sentiment, rumours and all other external factors), is that the share needed a breather. only question is how long with the breather be? is it a couple of days or will it be longer? however, if it forms a head and shoulder then it wont be long before it heads up again.

nematode - Please stop this now. Each to their own and you have no right to criticise others. I sold my 100,000 shares at 23p and bought in again this morning at 18.75p and i for one am very happy with what I have made.

This share was doing real well until the speculators got hold of it two weeks ago on a bid rumour. It they got their figers burnt then good. It needed to retrench. There did not seem to be a good resistant mark other then 20 and now 18-17
There is only a few weeks to go to the company statement. Anyone now when exactly that will be? I have tried contacting them but they remain tight lipped.
I have bought more today as I feel at every resistant mark on the down is a good buying oppertunity. But what do I knon. If I had all the answers I would not be sharing them. LOL

i called them too and couldnt get an answer either. i think they will go for the thursday 11th march date. i believe the 11th was the date last year.

Can somebody please explain what is meant by "a head and shoulder"?
How will this help RTD?

Fraud is ever more difficult to prevent. With chip & pin due to be implemented in 2005/6 fraud is likely to move to the internet. Those who pay by card could find the odd charge for INTERNET SERVICES 99999999 and a telno that is a billing service. What have you bought? or What web site did one access in passing that raised this charge? Businesses like RTD help to reduce fraud, RTD is fed info on card & Card not present transactions and build a database of info that is inspected for each card/CNOP event. The tools used to analyse this data use processes that learn from past experience using something called "Neural Networks". The barriers to entering this business are high and RTD have got a head start, and are, in my view, in a position to do exceedingly well. Please DYOR.

Internet commerce is growing at 44% a year (IMRG data), Card Transactions will continue to grow as more people in Europe use begin to use Cards i.e.new members of the EU. RTD will get a substantial boost to revenues and with a relatively fixed cost base, this increase in revenues should flow through to the bottom line. The current weakness in the share price could be a buying opportunity.

Javidshaik,
Apart from rtd,which stocks are on your watch list? I`m interested. SBR.

Results out 1st week in March according to Jane Martin.

Sellers are almost exhausted now. Robbie Burns' short term view is:

"Retail Decisions has gone down a bit the last few days. I think this is mainly due to the dodgy press reports of a bid fading and most short-term punters are pretty much out. I expect it to reach a bottom at 18p and gradually come back to the 22p area again."

The results are still a month away and I think we'll see more than 22p again by then.

Remember that nothing has changed with the fundamentals and business prospects.

Lots of investors will suddenly see RTD as a "steal" at 18p - this should start next week all going well.

yeh, it seems selling has slowed down considerably. i think rtd may turn round and again head in the right direction.

snoballroller - i got your email but your profile doesent allow me to send one back to you so perhaps you can email me again with your email address so i may reply.

LOOKS LIKE WE MIGHT BE BACK ON TRACK. FINGERS CROSSED.

Bought back in today......
Having previously sold out at 17p.(with a decent profit).
Hope the ride is not too bumpy.
All the best to RTD holders.
P.S.
Javid............. What are your present thoughts?

i think mastercard have sighned up.

amardev - i think the stock will rise now but once again it has to pass that 22p resistance. however, i do think as we are coming closer to results that it will surpass that without much problem this time. after 22p there is a resistance between 28-30p.
i thought this stock would take a bit more of a drop toward 17p but i was wrong. i bought in again at 19p this morning with double my previous holdings.
please DYOR people.
enjoy the ride!
