It didnt make the 20p but no doubt you topped up trt

[trt] 21/12/2007 11:38

Dow futures looking good for this afternoon.
FTSE should rise even further and in turn we should see CPI rise over 20p

Xmas rally as usual then !!!!

[hpfc] 19/12/2007 11:43

BBD - excellent call...double bottom and bounce

[oscar000] 18/12/2007 14:44

always a good time to buy around the level of their share buybacks

[trt] 18/12/2007 13:23

Company undertaken a share buyback I see - good move on their part

[oscar000] 18/12/2007 13:16

i think he ment 50million pounds ie 6 directors at 1.2m each equals 6.8 *7.10 48.28 million pounds

[dinky rinky] 18/12/2007 10:32

>>>>>>HPFC

I think you've mistakenly added a '0' to the director share sales.

Surely approx 5m rather than 50m

[oscar000] 17/12/2007 18:26

the directors did well getting 710p well done to you all

[hpfc] 16/12/2007 20:45

I'm a little doubtful whether they can/will personally

as for the Dow, the banking results and writedowns will make for a real swim against the tide, can see 13000 being tested at worst scenario

there doesn't seem to be any regard for the massive director sales--touching 50 million, and some their entire holdings, if they were going anywhere, surely they would have reinvested?

Unless possibly somebody wanted that amount in the near future ie placed

[trt] 16/12/2007 20:02

Because ECB will probably cut rates and December's future expiry in the US has in 8 out of the last 10 years resulted in the DOW rising.

[hpfc] 16/12/2007 19:50

next week we have December future expiry plus ECB meeting for interest rates so should see both the DOW and FTSE rise strongly


why ?

[thamestrader] 15/12/2007 00:32

so you're looking for a bounce around 650ish?
sounds good to me as a re-entry point.

[trickyboyfish] 14/12/2007 21:35

BBD - Been following this for some time and I was also thinking that we could see a double bottom and change of trend. If I was going to top up here I would be looking for 650 or less by about Tuesday.

[bigbigdave] 14/12/2007 19:59

Double bottom coming maybe then we're off north imo.
CPI hasn't done too badly at all compared to some stocks.
Lots of value out there now just need markets to stabilise.

[trt] 14/12/2007 19:59

No, I would watch for the jump upwards - next week we have December future expiry plus ECB meeting for interest rates so should see both the DOW and FTSE rise strongly. I hope you folk took advantage of the dip this week, I certainly did !!!

[jackal2] 14/12/2007 18:39

Is this downward peak and trough gonna continue?

[oscar000] 14/12/2007 16:47

About a 10% fall in price is rather a lot

[trt] 13/12/2007 14:09

Its just following the FTSE - take advantage of the dip I have !!

[oscar000] 13/12/2007 13:00

trt what is going on

[oscar000] 12/12/2007 18:15

I cant think of anything that they havent got, apart from the odd small country.

[g1ll1s] 08/12/2007 16:10

...oscar, have you seen the wife and kids wish lists these days, its not cheap!

[trt] 08/12/2007 11:59

Because if they didn't exercise the options they would have lost that right as they would have expired.

Options were not substantial in terms of their remaining holdings

[oscar000] 07/12/2007 16:38

So most of the directors exercised substantial options this week, apart from Mr Pindar. Why would that be, have they no confidence of the price rising in the near term and run up to the results at the end of february?

[trt] 05/12/2007 16:17

In fact if the BOE cut interest rates tomorrow the FTSE will probably have its best one day gain in four years !!! LOL

[trt] 04/12/2007 12:04

Listened again this morning to the conference call with institutional investors that took place yesterday - While many companies are looking to 2008 with dread, Capita believes a weaker economy could provide opportunities, as more companies seek to cheaply outsource the back office.More deals like the massive contract with the PRU.

Increased dividend, more special dividends, more share buybacks, more aquisitions, greater margins etc etc

I have topped up again this morning on the dip as I wanted to get in ahead of the expected interest rate cut next Tuesday by the US FED. The cut will ensure the DOW surges once again with the FTSE following suit.
