DOES ANYONE KNOW IF RDN ARE POSSIBLY BEING TAKEN OVER BY WATERFORD'S, PRICE IS SLOWLY MOVING UP AND IN LATE SEPTEMBER DIRECTORS WERE BUYING IN WITH BIG AMOUNTS???????????????

here we go!

can anyone please explain to me why price hasn't moved even though a 1 million buy (126,000) trade has just gone through, i don't understand why not????????????????

Here's some news other than the roomered take-over.
I've just spent the last few days at "The Spring Fair" at the NEC, it's the last day tomorrow (Wed).
The "Royal Dualton" stand was very busy with many discussions going on with potential customers, this looked very encouraging especially if the lower Chinese manufacturing costs give an elevated profit flow.

a few profit takers at the moment but it will be interesting to see if the big buyers return this afternoon.

TAKEOVER IMMINENT?????????? WHY THE PRICE MOVING UP?????????

Takeover????????This one will come good!!

up again slightly today, yesterday went up by 1p

ANY IDEAS ON WHATS HAPPENING?

Hi Transco, there doesn't appear to be any overt news reason as to jump today but there have been some large trades today and MM's may be making a bit of lolly on the stovk. Also, traders are returning after summer break and may think RDN is undervalued given was 12p earlier in year (if my memory serves me well). Let's hope that no news is good news- for now! Regards

Hi namreh3, Bought on a tip from redmayne & bentely months ago. lets hope things improve from here.

It's approaching that time gain when RDN should be publishing some figures - this time it's their interims due on 16/09/04 ( so the company's secretary's office informs me).

I would think those that take an interest in RDN are preparing themselves for news - that the company has now ' broken even '.

That in itself would be stunning news.

On the other-hand, to actually have made a [ p r o f i t ] at the half-way stage in the year would knock a lot of people out cold.

The last lot of figures were very encouraging, but fell short by just a whisker of providing a return to profit after so many years of reconstruction and upheaval, this time (or very shortly), there's a real expectation that that they can make it into ' the black ink '.

Kirst.

Nice one Kirst - lets hope things have improved - I must go to see the visitors centre in Stoke.
See how business is going first hand. The strong pound cant help though!

picture starting to look ok for a run up to 9-10p short term?

Any news about, dynamicsoul? The threads on Moneyam in 2003 were touting a huge uplift but this has not materialised 1 year later. Thoughts?

not sure on news..been asking peeps same question...

just think that chart looks good for a run up...this is the weekly version of the chart above...price has peaked its head above the 21 week ma...which it seems to like...and macd crossing up...and stochastic double bottom...

hmmm...bit of upside till chrimbo perhaps?

good thoughts although if I were you I would get some cream for the stochastic double bottom! oooh er missus!

?....lol..

do you hold already?

dipped in last year at 4p and out again in blue then back in and out when price allows. am holding now for the news - when and if it arrives! ;o)

...positive start today...offer ticking up lightly...wonder if the bid will?
