Just banked half profit today, the rise has been great, but the hill feels a bit steep hence just banked some profit to make the rest of the walk a bit steadier.

With UK public borrowing at all time high, the prospect for public sector outsourcing is it weak? Any opinion?

Feel might as well hold on to this winner for now, seems flow is up up up only

Galvan research were advising that cpi was a sell unless it sustained momentum and stability above 770. In view of the strong showing last week it may be fulfilling that position. However the theme from all political parties is that spending cuts are a certainty and with that in mind I am looking towards closing my cfd long position and taking a short on this stock. There is, i feel, scope for a fall back to 700-720. IMO of course

None of us has a crystal ball, mali7, so this could be another broad spike (look at the long term chart above, you'll see what I mean) followed by a drop back to 730ish, or it could be a genuine and sustainable step up. Outsourcing seems to remain flavour of the month/decade, so overall it should continue to rise (but not in a straight line, as they say).

If you've got a shedful of these, and you think it's getting a bit toppy, by all means hedge your bets by selling some/half. (Although whenever I do that, I usually regret it afterwards).

Should I take profits now or wait for further upside? Any thoughts?

[mali7] 06/4/2010 11:33

Why is this flying? What is the current target? Long-term holders do you think it will be good buy for long-term or potential risk with cut in public spending and outsourcing end of year and next year?

Capita challenging RM for the share of BSF after buying Ramesys, should be good news eventually....

[oscar000] 10/3/2010 16:56

Now in the slip stream of serco.

[oscar000] 25/2/2010 15:40

I forecast the drop yesterday but didnt do anything, they will slowly recover over the next few days when the buy notices are issued by the analysts?

[dinky rinky] 25/2/2010 14:52

Always the same with CPI

Excellent results and the price drops 4-5% !!

[pixi] 24/11/2009 23:16

I thought this was cheap too at 720p so I bought, rude not to.

Hi all,

Look at this tip I found yesterday:

[trickyboyfish] 23/10/2009 18:50

Perhaps folks are moving out of mainstream stocks to more defensive stocks in anticipation of a major crash again?

[mroalan] 23/10/2009 18:44

huge volume today?

[oscar000] 22/10/2009 16:37

why any news

[trickyboyfish] 16/10/2009 21:08

bbd - you have mail

[bigbigdave] 16/10/2009 14:22

Seem to remember selling CPI at these levels 12 months ago.
Will it break out?
(no intention of taking any position just a passing interest.)

[oscar000] 09/9/2009 12:48

I think it may have been rerated soemwhere? Also talk of working with the private sector to reduce public sector costs may have changed sentiment

[brain smiley] 09/9/2009 12:33

surprising comeback for CPI.

After the last results the analysts said the PE was to high and margins were a concern.

[oscar000] 06/5/2009 08:40

They did mention it in their full year statement

[bigbigdave] 06/5/2009 07:41

Few negatives in there (for the first time). Shorting time??

[oscar000] 23/4/2009 07:54

Morgan Stanley upgrades to 7.50 target today from 6.80

[trickyboyfish] 24/3/2009 20:34

Apologies all - Just having a discussion about charts with a fellow holder elsewhere. Please ignore this.
