Weekly chart looking negative now

There's your answer.

2 days of belwo £8 share price, and suddenly management is not buying more shares? Are they now waiting for it go over £8 to buy more back? Or they thinking, we should have bought lower, so now wait till bottom before heavy buying? I find it a bit strange.

[mali7] 19/5/2010 09:56

Still holding around £8, due to heavy buying by company to buy own shares. Now does anyone know how much own shares have already been purchased in total? And what amount money is left to buy more of own shares?

The whole world sinking and this one is holding up extreemly well, however I wont buy in until £7, as I think once this falls it might fall very quickly to catch up with the makert. Any thoughts?

[mali7] 14/5/2010 10:14

Because the company started to buy own shares, it may hold around £8 for now, but it would have been much clever by the management to let the share fall during current market and purchase heavily around share low of £7.

Why buy when it is highest on a 1 year chart?

Are they managing like Gordon, who managed to sell our gold when it was lowest?

YES i agree it's possible.

[mali7] 07/5/2010 09:17

As with anything, you have to question, when it rises too fast, like CPI did, up to around 826p, crazy valuation based one pe etc Anyway now looks like its correcting, and correction usually goes a bit quicker as can be seen. I think my next entry level will be around 700p, so will wait patiently. Anyone agree it can hit 700p within next 1-3months?

[mali7] 26/4/2010 09:37

I am out now, with all my long. No point being greedy and a good profit should be banked. I wonder if shorters will soon start on this one, as its breaking all averages and the rise has been strong, but no rise can continue forever so, good luck all. Might be back around 700p if it goes there later this year.

[mali7] 23/4/2010 14:48

That is true, anyway lets see how this one goes, with election in few weeks and future political direction and budgets will be key for any further upside.

[mali7] 23/4/2010 09:54

but some outsouricing is very expensive, some consultants comand over £1000 daily charge, how many permanent people have that income?
In terms for goverment, would it not make sence to employ permanent people, or train existing staff to do they odd complicated jobs, so in long run more highly qualified staff able to do variety off jobs in the same time reduce unneccessary posts not required anymore?
Also I dont think it will be well taken by public if gov says we have cut X amount of jobs to save X amount, then later to see that it has been outsourced on high costs. I read a local paper recently which highlighted one goverment job which was outsourced on a very high £K+ daily rate.

[oscar000] 22/4/2010 16:33

I think the reason it goes up, is because it will profit from a high demand for outsourcing, in my opinion. By outsourcing services, the public sector will save money not increase spend.

[mali7] 22/4/2010 10:04

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?

[mali7] 16/4/2010 15:23

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

[pd1001] 10/4/2010 18:00

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

[thamestrader] 09/4/2010 09:55

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).

[mali7] 08/4/2010 15:26

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.

[kevinford2] 23/11/2009 10:12

Hi all,

Look at this tip I found yesterday:
