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.

If it drops any more then I'll buy some more.

Javid, given that there was some major tree-shaking going on today and buys were still very strong I reckon the supposed 28p resistance will easily be smashed through with solid buying support.

It's not as though RTD have been teetering around the 28p mark for months, technical indicators fall by the wayside on a blue-sky rise.

Tokyo, I'm keeping all of my main holding of RTD because it appears now as though the really serious money is going to be made by investors with a 1-2 year+ time-frame in mind (i.e. I'm looking forward to seeing RTD break through the 1 resistance), I'm starting to hive it off into an ISA wrapper now to ease the pain when I eventually want to sell some. I also have a small T-trade which will provide some reward whilst I'm waiting for the "big one".

It was a major tree-shake today as expected, Thursday and Friday are the days when the buying should really start to shift the price up. Not sure what will happen tomorrow - it could be a sideways day or if the bulls win we'll be looking at the start of the major run up to results.

All the best

Have just had a look at the trades today - the MMs were not even attempting to hide the shaking - look at lots of small sells e.g. 5,000 being placed in the market at regular intervals to spook the unwary.

Don't let them have your shares yet and the price will rocket!

@ 11.34am a buy of 303,828

Buy price of 25.75p but the offer price is 25.00p ??

can anyone explain.

I saw this mornings dip so I bought some more & managed to catch the lowest point.

I'm looking forward to next week.

Any one know if the 1/2 Million protected trade was actually a buy while the price was recovering?

A buy from earlier in the day.

Notice the bid climb at closing.

Expect a big jump up tomorrow folks - it's all in the chart:

Thanks zscrooge & overgrowth

Got to admit i was also expecting alot of buys today, a little surprised to see a drop in price today, we will need very heavy buying on Friday & Monday to push this upto 30 pence before the results on Tuesday

Well, the markets never cease to amaze me. I think too many people have made a good buck or two so far and are so terrified of losing it that they are selling out - at the worst possible time.

As I've said before, better to have the resolve and patience and have e.g. 100,000 when you sell than "escape" with a quick profit of 10,000. Each to their own though, you never know why other traders/investors need the cash.

It would really surprise me if the bulls didn't come out in force tomorrow.

One thing I did notice in the trades recently, is that there are large chunks being sneaked in when all the small punters are selling away merrily. This suggests that the "clever money" is buying RTD whilst everyone else is selling -bodes very well for the near future.

So, as tempting as it is to take a slice of my winnings, I'm holding on for better things.

All the best

I'm in sympathy most your points overgrowth was so temted to sell some at 28p..I am sposed to be trader (boost small pension)not investor need cash now but greed for that extra antisipated 2/3p up to news. Scared thet so oft seen rapid fall after very best results! for the mo. at least dont have to agonise over wether to sell some in antisipation of results fall which of course may or may not hapen. next few days will be interesting hopefully happy xfinger D.

Douggie,

It all depends on what price you bought in at, if you're 100+% up you always have the option of selling half (to trade on something else) and watching the other half grow (with no outlay) - I may well be tempted to do just that in your situation.

I'm very bullish on RTD and even if there is a temporary drop after results to say 20p-21p I can see this bouncing back very soon to higher highs. I don't need the cash now so I'm prepared to wait for the next couple of years, because it looks as though big things are in store.

All the best in whatever you decide to do.

Here's to a blue day tomorrow.

OG

thanks og xfinger blue tomorrer

Looka like bears havit at mo overgrowth 1/2p off with only 30k dif. on 900k shares traded that point

alot of late trades buying stock at the end of today, lets hope for a big rise next week, especially after the results

I bought again at the end of the day.

I shall be glued to the screen on Monday & Tuesday.

Good luck all!

Douggie - pretty much even stevens at the end of the day and volume was up a bit also, nothing to be concerned about.

Tokyo - It looks like the rapid rise to fame is the only thing holding us back now. There could be a small dip after results as the final batch of profit takers step in - though I'd like to be proved wrong.

Apple - It could well be the last time we see the price at these levels, I would be glued to the screen also all day if I could. There are interesting predictions on open/close prices on Mon/Tues on ADVFN all very bullish.

Monday will be very interesting - it will either be pull-push all day and end up at approx. the same level maybe up very slightly, or as many punters are predicting because the weak sellers are just about all out now, the price will be able to climb rapidly upwards, culminating in a Tuesday opening of 28p.

That's what makes this game so interesting - nobody knows exactly what will happen, apart from the fact that long term this company is going places and that is why there is so much interest now.

I keep "seeing" 5.5m for the results - I don't know whether it's wishful thinking or second sight. They do say that the more you research a company, the subconscious mind is able to process these facts and come up with sensible estimates - who knows?. All I can say is that if we are looking at 5.5m then I have a feeling that the buying support could well be tremendous after the announcement (even if the profit takers bring it down short term it will be rapidly moving through the 30p-40p range).

All the best

OG

Overgrowth - very interesting as always - thanks alot

I'm with you for the long run on 2/3 of my holdings, I have made enough profit else where to take a gamble on this one, and well I like the odds (in the long term that is)

Positive article in the Sunday Telegraph today:

"Buy Retail Decisions

Analysts expect upbeat news from (24.25p), the credit-card fraud prevention company, when it announces full-year results this week.

With the introduction of "chip and pin" technology, criminals are expected to focus on internet and telephone transactions - where Retail Decisions has a strong market position. This should drive up sales of its software products. The company declared a maiden interim profit for the first six months of the year and analysts forecast strong growth. A historic stock overhang, created by a big bond issue which could be converted to shares, had been depressing the price, but has been cleared. Buy."
