I'm not employed by Capita - I have invested for the excellent returns both in terms of dividend and capital growth + this stock is a great safe haven.

[oscar000] 25/9/2008 22:55

So you are all capita people.

Looking use the proceeds to invest in Low P/E stocks when the current bear market comes to an end (whenever that may be) Already bought into DTG.



Think when that time comes some stocks could double in a few weeks and while CPI has served me well cannot see that happening here.

cheers Dave that 20% discount explains it - well done on the likely return there!
lol Tricky

[trickyboyfish] 25/9/2008 20:41

Last years was £7.33!

No more discounts - Grrr tight Bstard - I hate em ;) LOL

Mines up next month too but the 3 year one.

Is there anybody here who's doesnt work for Capita?

Mr Pindar Sir, Are you here too - Eeek, am I in trouble ;)

20% discount to price around of August 2003 8-)
The Sharesave rules have changed now & the discount doesn't apply for new applicants.

[bountyhunter] 25/9/2008 19:25

£1.88? How many years ago was that option price set - the CPI share price has been above £2 for at least the last 5 years:

[bigbigdave] 25/9/2008 18:23

Heh heh, Sharesave matures next month, option price of £1.88. Happy days 8-)

Looking good for £7.50+ soon - we have a breakout watch it fly !!!!

If GEORGE BUSH gets the bank bailout approved I believe we will see a significant rally across the board ( in all shares) as stock markets across the world rally strongly.The rally could last for several days.
If the bailout package is agreed this afternoon / evening in the USA then the UK stock market will open with huge gains tomorrow morning and buyers will be struggling to get a piece of the action as they try and buy into a rising market - glad I topped up with Capita shares.

Capita will then be reaching £7.80+

I think America has no choice but to agree for the $700bn bailout the consequences aren't worth thinking about.
I have bought more Capita shares this morning as I agree with earlier postings about the chart showing a breakout.
Profits for this year will yet again exceed market expectations and the dividend will increase once again.

trt - I work in an office of a few hundred employee's - its all open plan, I have to open my payslip on my monitor and then send it to a printer shared by 80 other people. They are supposed to be private and confidential! I may as well pin it up on the "Fun Board" LOL

My other gripe is the outsourcing to Mumbai. Again it is cost effective and keeps the profits rising which is ultimately good for shareholders but I think it is a bit of a smack in the face to the UK economy and shows that Capita put more emphasis on price over quality. blah blah blah - I could rant for ages but wont - this isnt the place. ;)

In the interest of balance, this company doesnt mess around and they will deliver shareholder value I am sure.

There is volatility though which gives both longs and shorts good trading oportunities.

I wont personally be shorting this share but will be selling at the first sign of weakness (which I do not currently see) I will be aiming to buy back in at a lower price to increase my holding when the tide changes again, etc.

maybe, maybe not
if the FED's $700m bailout is passed by congress then I think the markets will rally strongly, if not, then I'd rather not consider the consequences, but I believe it will be passed

[mmx trader] 24/9/2008 17:45

shorters will soon spot this one.

[bountyhunter] 24/9/2008 17:40

my target is 1030

[trt] 24/9/2008 14:32

830 my target

[mmx trader] 24/9/2008 12:29

630 my target

Trickyboyfish - ironically as you say those policies may well be good for shareholders so as long as you are one of those at least you should get some payback!!

[trt] 24/9/2008 10:44

"No more paper payslips" - just print it off the computer thats what i would do.

Re share price - if we have a flurry of buys going through the price will easily start moving up to £7.40 and then onwards to £7.50 etc

[trickyboyfish] 24/9/2008 10:08

Here's one that really peed me off - "E-Payslips" No more paper payslips and not optional - I complained but am told that I am the only one of 35,000 employees to complain about it!

[trickyboyfish] 24/9/2008 10:01

Dave - Maybe its just my contract / building then. Not Urban Vision.

[bigbigdave] 24/9/2008 09:50

Urban Vision by any chance?
Capita Symonds oneself (& quite like the Company)

Oscar - Difficult to answer that on a BB but corporate policies that are good for adding shareholder value are not good for employees IMHO.
