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.

Initial quote has been marked up by .75p, 26p offer vs 26.5p bid

Fundamentalist - my stockwatch and L2 say 25.25 offer, 26 bid - maybe its changed since you posted 2 minutes ago?

Thanks Fundamentalist

washlander I was wondering what effect the difference between these 2 figures would have.

Adjusted Operating Profit 5.9m......With a PE of 20, this should put the share price at around 40 pence, right?

Oh today, and the rest of the week is going to be vey interesting......

looking at the trades, they are all sells
Am I missing something here?
I thought 5.9 million was good news

I see the maximum online dealing size is currently 10,000 shares ie 2500, who says they don't play games eh!

Oh well I'm out.

My stop loss was triggered.

I'll be watching from the sidelines for a while until things settle down.

Good luck all.

These results are very important. RTD has finally made a profit and can only go forward from here.

The share price will slowly, but surely rise over the next 6-12 months. I don't expect any great leaps in price unless something unexpected happens.

RTD will be re-rated and so price up in the medium-term.

Good luck to all

i have been watching rtd for a while waiting for the results before i act . confused as to why the price would drop when a company posts a cracking set of results . i know the price has risen over the last few months but is there something missing from the results that i cant see? unsure now wheteher to jump in.

Personally I dont think so. There has been a lot of hype prior to these results and a lot of people have been sitting on large paper profits and some are taking them. Remember some people bought in as low as 2.5p and there has been buying from that price upwards. Personally I believe the results statement sets us up for a great year ahead, with continued growth and increasing profits. I expect the price will be volatile for a few days with several dips but with some positive analysts/press statement over the coming week IMHO I expect the price to start to advance again - an RNS with institutional buying would be nice. I sill hold for the long term and will continue to do so but if buying in DYOR

I bought back in on the dip.

& the buyers are coming back :-)

This is pretty normal behaviour for the day of results. Volatility is expected. People selling for profit and people buying for investment. RTD is a good company and has a good structure. This company will be going very far in the coming months now.
Congrats to all RTD holders.

I can't believe my luck, I caught it right at the bottom of the dip.

Perfect timing for a change.

I hope that there isn't another lower dip but hey I'm happy with the price I got.

Could someone who has access to level 2 please have a look and see if MM's are playing around or if trades are coming through ok? On my realtime data (not level 2), it shows there havent been any buys for over an hour and I cant believe that.

Thanks

According to posters on ADVFN, games are being played - one guy bought shares and then saw them posted as a sell - sorry don't have access to level 2 myself so can't confirm

also, Daniel Stewart has reiterated BUY and raised target price from 27p to 31p though Oriel have downgraded to HOLD from BUY

thank you fundamentalist. i feel MM's are having a laugh at present. i think we will be back to a good rise once today is over.

javid

expect a rise shortly, the MM's have no stock left!!!

what did I tell ya!!

From elsewhere, Crazi a supporter and reliable poster on RTD who has also posted often on this site. (Hope this is OK Crazi if you are reading).

) Excellent cash in hand...
2) EPS growth expectation already matched expected ended 04 target by house broker....
3) Market growing impressively and even clumpy is very optimistic about it. It is end user base I am more interested in but new and extended contracts do no harm either....
4) Turnover going "straight" to the bottom line...
5) Tech investment beginning again this year and the ftse growing from strength to strength will ensure that investment capital is available. RTD was dragged down with tech and so will be boosted by tech..
6) Buy recomendations from multiple brokers
7) press coverage very positive sentiment
8) Management not interested in any bids
9) All divisions now cash positive

and clumpies last words..:)

"Growth expected to continue in '04"

Considering the growth they proved in 03....that is a nice statement...:)

"Revenues at our smaller South African division also grew during the year. We
anticipate a contribution to Group profitability in the current year, helped by
important new contracts secured in January 2004."

"We will continue to grow the proportion of Group revenues generated on a per transaction basis. Our flagship ebitGuard service is expected to make an increasing contribution as worldwide online sales continue to grow strongly. ReD's proprietary neural technology is also being adopted by a growing number of companies"

New wins included Paysystems in Canada, Register.com and ShopNBC in the USA. In
addition we have renewed agreements with Walmart.com and GSI Commerce. In
Europe we won business with euroConex and Streamline Merchant Services, Europe's largest acquirer of credit and debit card transactions. In January 2004 ReD signed its first continental European agreement to supply ebitGuard toPago eTransaction Services GmbH, one of the largest pan-European aggregators of e-payment transaction services.
