TRT - thanks - not sure I can do that with Selftrade though

Edit -Dow seems to be making a great recovery - If it holds then CPI should rebound in the morning. :)

The shares go EX dividend on the 27th so if you do a T+ 3 trade on the 26th March the funds would then be taken out 4 days later - problem solved

trt - im buying some soon - funds available on the 27th - if I buy on 27th will I get divi on them?

Just grabbed a few more.Capita really is a safe haven in this market.Those extra shares will also boost my dividend payout as the Record Date is not until the 29th March.

This is making a mess of my new uptrend now!

[trickyboyfish] 12/3/2008 18:46

BBD - LOL - No M8 - My life is just rather like the TV series "Shameless".

But I am in Manchester. My Mrs insists on watching Coronation Street and Shameless in our lounge with the blinds closed. We could just bin the telly and open the blinds and pretend we have a 9ft screen and watch both at once ;)

Anyway the other thing that makes me think this is the start of a new uptrend is the width of parallel lines. All the CPI uptrends have a narrow volatility and the down trend was very broad.

Looking good here.

I still think CPI may pick something out of the bones of CART.

Trickyboyfish, well done, nice chart and I would agree that we appear to be in a new uptrend.

You really called Frank Gallagher from Manchester? 8-)

[oscar000] 12/3/2008 13:32

Well done nice to see some constructive work, who knows if you are right, but at least you have had a go from exisitng data and charts

[trickyboyfish] 11/3/2008 21:07

Good Evening all.

Dont shoot me but I have done a chart - hope you like it. I'm just an amateur.

I think this shows a few key factors

firstly the one we all know, the long term down trend that has been with us since the credit crunch problems.

secondly, as pointed out by BBD, the double bottom bounce which possibly signals a reversal of trend.

thirdly, break out from the long term down trend resistance.

And finally a very early stage and still fragile formation of a new upwards trend.

If the new up trend continues then it would signal an share price of Circa 800p bu approx June. However, as I said, it is early stages and is quite steep in comparison to Capita's general trend.

Hope you like it.

Capita makes recommended cash offer of 270 pence a share for Computerland UK




LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Capita Group PLC, the computer support services provider, said it has made a recommended cash offer of 270 pence a share for ComputerLand UK, amounting to 28.9 mln stg for the entire share capital, in a bid to extend its managed IT services.
Capita's chief executive Paul Pindar said: "ComputerLand's existing customer
base and range of services complements our existing IT services business, and
the acquisition will give us greater breadth and depth of expertise with which
to assist existing clients and provide genuine 'value- added' services to new
ones."
ComputerLand provides services designed to improve business productivity,
increase the quality of IT and reduce IT costs to corporate clients.
In the year ended April 30, 2007, ComputerLand generated total revenues of
67 mln stg including contracted revenues of 18.6 mln stg.
Pindar said he sees particularly exciting growth prospects for the managed
services side of the business, where Capita's established strength in the UK
outsourcing market will add further credibility and scale to ComputerLand,
allowing it to consider a wider range of potential customers and projects.

Any of you follow the demise of CART?

There could be the possibility that Capita may take some of the salvage from CART once the administrators have got things in hand?

CPI have links with PWC following the aquisition of Aurora (run off company created to run off Independent Insurance Co Ltd)

PWC were appointed to audit CART during it's suspension (I assume they will handle the administration of CART but nothing showing on companies house yet)

CART had major links with the government and training.

Capita surround themselves with government contracts where ever possible.

This could be the next big one for Capita

All my own opinion - DYOR

Any thoughts?

[merob] 08/3/2008 08:19

You could be right Tricky, or a sideways movement at least? It 'deserves' to, doesn't it?

[trickyboyfish] 07/3/2008 17:18

Its also starting to look like a new upward trend is forming. Hope I'm not wrong although I'm rarely right.

[bigbigdave] 07/3/2008 16:42

Intraday breakout above 7 quid. Bodes well.

[oscar000] 06/3/2008 15:38

Agree with bountyhunter's views no more conversation on this merob dont be so critical of others.

[oscar000] 06/3/2008 12:50

i would advise, which you never have committed to is that it will tarde in a range of 645-705

[oscar000] 06/3/2008 11:58

Merob it was not my advice it was oriel securities.

[merob] 06/3/2008 10:37

oscar000 - 11 Feb'08 - 08:31 - 848 of 916


and down it goes again today



PLEASE!

[merob] 06/3/2008 10:33

Perhaps Oscar should follow his own advice, then he wouldn't feel he was just clutching at straws:-

oscar000 - 29 Feb'08 - 13:25 - 892 of 915


Oriel Securities analyst Paul Checkett said that Capita's strong pipeline leaves the company well-positioned to reap the benefits of sector growth. The business process outsourcing market is forecast to grow 10% annually until 2011, and Capita has a 22% market share. Oriel maintained its buy rating and 683 pence price target on the shares.


That target's just been hit. Now what Oscar, would you advise?

[merob] 06/3/2008 10:28

That's because you don't know bountyhunter. So good advice - thanks.

[bountyhunter] 06/3/2008 10:00

lol!
what we need now is a close above £7, but I'm not going to say when that will happen just yet ;)

[oscar000] 06/3/2008 09:22

No! you will tell us after it has happened. Tell us now and we will all follow your advice
