Monday will be interesting,but I agree the trap has closed.

Have a great weekend.

...and there's the bottom - i suspect MMs know that big deals are close (doesnt take a genious to figure it out given said was close to announcing deals at August Interims) and have given the tree a bloody good shake to get stock on board....seems to have worked as all the small spivs took the bait today...now the big buys coming in at the end - oldest trick in the book...this is going to go ballistic once deals start to flow and the opportunity to buy sub 100p gives a rare opportunity. Market also going up nicely and will be well written up in weekend press - all the ertail players will emerge next week and pile in!!

The spread would be much worse if this drop was due to hard facts.

[britishbear] 01/10/2004 14:56

smarm - that is the question - not sure what the "news" could be. Volumes are not that great - still retail sells

[mart] 01/10/2004 14:24

Fall overdone I would say but closed my position simply because I expect it to fall further. However, my reading of Sharescope tea leaves indicates oversold. I shall be watching carefully to spot an opportunity to get back in. Hopefully, jap warrants will make this profitable. Good luck to us all.

[smarm] 01/10/2004 14:14

BB - this fall is surely too large to just be stop losses, no RNS but something must be up and it doesn't look good. Very odd.

[zapa] 01/10/2004 14:05

Good on you BB.

As soon as this stops,and its only small amounts,Im in.I notice the MMs are now offering slightly over.

LOL.

[britishbear] 01/10/2004 13:59

Fall is due to other stop losses being triggered.

I am holding fast - this fall is over done unless there is some news about.

If I hadn't just bought more ARX I would be sorely tempted to get more DATA at this price

[zapa] 01/10/2004 11:50

By nosh hope to see you here again.

[noshy] 01/10/2004 11:41

stop profit triggered

best of luck

Bye Hosede, good luck.


Can not find any specific reason other than putting the frighteners on us.I feel sorry for who ever that was that bought the other day (350000 I think or Im confused).

[hosede] 01/10/2004 11:04

Chart now looking awful - double top - could drop down into the 80's - I'm out

[zapa] 01/10/2004 09:44

As soon as it stabelizes Im in again.

[park1n] 01/10/2004 09:42

igoe,
Got my eyes peeled!

[zapa] 01/10/2004 09:02

Well said.

[igoe104] 01/10/2004 08:53

its just a quite period for the shares and you always get a little drift in a period like this, believe me when this sleeping giant wakes up you will all notice, hope you don,t miss the boat.

[park1n] 30/9/2004 17:51

What in the name of heaven is happening to Data? like hose & shadow I took
the profit @ 102 & 104 sometime ago, I consider myself extremely lucky I made
2k, now keep tracking Data, hoping they will climb back,and can,t see why they
are nt bubling over,they surely must do in the near future .
Good hunting

[shadowchaser] 30/9/2004 11:13

DATA --Yes , I sold at £1.01 [for a good profit ]and am waiting for the drift down before buying in again--

We'll have to wait and see--SC

[hosede] 30/9/2004 10:56

Thanks for that info.BB. Knew I should have sold these at 106 - think they will continue to drift down unless there is some news to pep them up!

[zapa] 29/9/2004 10:08

A grumpy young man!

Come on cheer up could be worse.

[britishbear] 29/9/2004 09:50

or young man :-)

[zapa] 29/9/2004 07:52

You own RTD shares BB!

No wonder your a grumpy old man.LOL.

[britishbear] 28/9/2004 19:12

hosede, I hold both RTD and DATA. There is some overlap but most importantly DATA and RTD actually work together at the moment.

Check the DTI website (google DATA and DTI I think).

DATA charge 10p per transaction OR 20p pertransaction if anti-fraud protection is included (supplied by RTD).

Therefore, if DATA's transactions rise, so will RTD's profits.

I still much prefer DATA as a pure online play. If you look at RTD closely you will see that nearly ALL its profits come from petrol cards in Australia - what fun is that.

[hosede] 28/9/2004 12:26

As well as holding DATA I have Retail Decisions on my "watch" screen. Is this company a straight competitor or are there different aspects to the two busineses? Any expert opinion much appreciated

[britishbear] 28/9/2004 09:49

Neither.

Are you retired or a student?
