No one is more patient than me when it comes to RTD, I've been a shareholder of various amounts here for years, from 30p to £4, back to 4p (missed 2p) and now back again today's value. I agree that the large investor support needed is still to come but quite why no one loves this other than us retail buyers maybe just down to the size of the company at the end of the day and/or the fact is they just can't buy enough shares to meet their investment criteria. It may well be that RTD will one day have to bite the bullet and do what they said they would not do at the last AGM and that is to re-rate the shares themselves so they have fewer in issue but ensure that they "appear" to cost a damm sight more to buy.
A 1 for 10 consolidation would certainly change the perception with retail buyers (not many small punters would invest £1,000-£5,000 if they only got 1,000-5,000 shares as a result). I know that fundamentally nothing changes in true value but there is definitely a barrier here to RTD's further progression and perhaps the actual share price and very broad shareholding amongst smaller investors is the last remaining problem that needs to be addressed.
The company fundamentals seem to be all moving in the right direction and just perhaps making these available at £1 or more would reduce the company's perception as a "penny share" as far as I am concerned anyway....but then wdik....
