RTD - Why? (RTD)     

Nitefly - 15 Sep 2003 10:55

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.

Is there really any reason why this stock should continue to fall?

Fundamentalist - 17 Mar 2004 10:32 - 931 of 2406

A weak market especially Nasdaq and current political/terrorist worries aside no. From a chartists point the current 18.75/19p level is critical to hold, it has several times but keeps being retested. As for the long term the fundamentals haven't changed.

Glad to see some comment here, BUZZ certainly gone from here, how different the felling few weeks ago 19p and rising fantastic! now seen 50% of my potential profit (equal to 1years pension) slip away gutted! now dont know which way to go, ;o((

javidshaik - 17 Mar 2004 11:31 - 933 of 2406

looking at the graph, if it goes below 18p support then i will sell mine for a loss and look to buy in again once moving averages show a golden cross and trend upward begins but only after it goes above what will then be 18p resistance.
i have bought and sold a couple of times in the last couple of months now and although i have not managed to hit the highest highs or the lowest lows, i have still made a good profit. however, i am kicking myslef for buying in too early recently and watching the share go down. had i followed the chart and not get emotionally involved then i would have made a smart decision and shorted rtd for a while.
the chart aside, for those of you that dont need the money then rtd is a good share to own. i just want my money to do the best it can all of the time and hate leaving it in a stale share.
watching eagerly for the next few days.

as i mentioned in previous posts a while back, their was a resistance at 28-30p. as it didnt manage to overcome that it headed downwards to next support. it broke through one support and if it breaks the 18p support then i would imagine it will be very quiet for a while. long termers (1-2 years or more) wont be concerened much by this recent downtrend as the 100/200 simple ma is still looking good.

Still retesting the support level but seems to be holding for now, marked down earlier but now back to open price.

Douggie - 17 Mar 2004 14:29 - 935 of 2406

:o))) dont it make you feel better

Fundamentalist - 17 Mar 2004 14:35 - 936 of 2406

I'm enjoying the afternoon so far - RTd holding support, a winner at Cheltenham - what more can you ask for - a blue finish ?

Fundamentalist - 17 Mar 2004 15:32 - 937 of 2406

Douggie - And now we've gone blue for the day - and Azertyuiop beat Moscow flier - it just keeps getting better lol

Tokyo - 17 Mar 2004 16:54 - 938 of 2406

glad to see this thread spark back up again, I'm still holding all my shares and cringe when I look at the present price, but the fundamentals of this company are still strong, and there is no reason why the stock price should become the same in the future, althoug it will be a long journey for us long term holders, one we shall have to be strong enough to endure, if we want to see any real large profits.

good luck to all holders

Douggie - 17 Mar 2004 16:57 - 939 of 2406

Njoy rest of your day Fundamentalist great to hear good news I'll raise a glass to you later , may your good fortune continue specialy here,beautiful BLUE colour ;o))))

The frequent trader gives RTD a little mention -


"Elsewhere Retail Decisions has slumped from its highs - looks like 18p should be a floor for the shares and they look undervalued at this sort of level."

p,s, Fundamentalist - nice to read about your little win

The candlestick chart is looking interesting again:

draw?startDate=17%2F01%2F04&period=2M&pl

The "hammer" (a classic reversal symbol) indicated by today's trading shows solid support at 18.5p and a bullish close at the top of the intra-day trading range. If all goes according to plan with the theory (and provided there is no markdown based on general market sentiment) we should see blue days tomorrow and Friday.

Anyone trading will have seen this and closed their shorts and will be looking to buy back in again or move on. The budget held no nasty surprises for business today, so the markets should be back in bouyant mood (barring any more terrorist attacks). It's starting to appear from the resiliance of FTSE shares that we're looking at the end of a temporary consolidation phase - the overall market trend is still bullish and this should become evident again in the next couple of weeks.

Looking at the chart on the 9th, 10th and 11th we saw a fall on moderate volume with the price pulling back from its daily lows, however on the start of each new trading day, the price was marked down to the previous day's low forcing it down even quicker than would normally be expected. This suggests that the subsequent rebound could be just as quick, stablising at 22p as the next step up. Further rises from here I guess will be news driven.

There have been a lot of "pump and dump" merchants buying and selling in the past few weeks - it looks as though the dust has started to settle now.

Interesting also, the solid buying on the 12th - why does RTD generally seem to do so well on Fridays ?

All the best

OG
