Looking forward to some positive gains in the stock price to match.

Good luck

MM's are manipulating again... hold on to your hats!

Nitefly I was expecting that to happen...

Thankfully the results are excellent...

I dont see any reason for the price to drop, except to weed out any wannabe sellers, the surge in price will happen, but patience is going to be required from my part...

Sticking to my personal target of 15p followed by 15-20p.

could be good day to buy if sellers bring price down and spread stays same. only 2%at moment.

good morning all

Absolutely jules99, i was expecting the same!

I remember Corus and many others doing this, dropping on good news and then rising strongly a day or even a week or two after... only for everyone that sould out... well, to be caught out!

Luckely I managed to get in at 10.5p before the initial rise.

Best of luck to you all.

Nitefly - Rising now up 6.5% on day...

- mainly buys going through now...

Nice buying opportunity towards the end.

I wonder if you can buy them at the same price tommorow???

Best of luck to all!

With todays massive news of credit card fraud activities crackdown and on the increase, I beleive Retail Decisions are aiming at the correct market and should continue to do very well, with a long term outlook looking very positive.

God forbid it ever happens to me...
