Through resistance - a test of the highs coming ?

Another leg up starting here imo, little reverse head and shoulders.

Bidder back in buying?

These still look cheap to me and I can't see any bid below a fiver being successful, if there is one.

not looking healthy this morning....

[cockneyrebel] 19/11/2010 13:01

A shake this am by the mm's to try to get a few sellers on a weak day?

On the bounce now - I still think the big buyer of late is as keen as ever.

Start of another leg up on the chart imo.

"Computacenter was another beneficiary of vague bid chatter, rising 1½p to 370.1p"




Seems to be constant 'vague bid chatter'.

Be nice to see it hold above 390 for a few days (and then go up again!)

[cockneyrebel] 12/11/2010 12:37

Here we go - the buyer's back - another mega-spike on the way?

CR

[cockneyrebel] 11/11/2010 10:53

that dip this morning is being nibbled up imo.

I think whoever had those maket orders on last night knew something and the larger buyers are still out there getting filled imo.

Been here before though with FTO and then they dropped back to more reasonable level the next morning. Have to keep everything crossed...

[cockneyrebel] 10/11/2010 20:28

did you see the line of Market Orders on the buy side at the close?

Someone was keen to get these at the close - drove the closing auction to uncross at 394p.

I'm believing more and more these are a bid target myself - I'm not selling - had one bid this week for FSG - two would be rather nice :-)

This is looking good CR. Almost took profits yesterday but glad I didn't. Tempting to take profits now though but think I'll hold on.

After the stalker stories recently, are CCC going to get taken out by their former director via Lumison?

LONDON (Dow Jones)--Bridgepoint Development Capital said Monday it has bought U.K. IT services company Lumison, which it will use as a platform to make further acquisitions in the sector.
Financial details of the transaction weren't disclosed, but Bridgepoint Development Capital, which is part of the London-based buyout firm Bridgepoint, provides growth capital of up to EUR200 million to companies across Europe.
Lumison, which is based in Edinburgh and London, provides managed IT services to 2,500 SME clients throughout the U.K. It typically acts as the outsourced partner responsible for managing clients' IT infrastructure, hosting critical IT hardware in secure physical facilities, providing cloud-based infrastructure services and offering network managed services which allow clients to connect securely to the internet and other locations.
The U.K. IT services sector is currently worth over GBP40 billion and is growing at 5% per year but is polarised between major players and a group of very small services providers. Bridgepoint's objective in buying Lumison is for it to become the platform for further growth.
"There are very few medium-sized service providers capable of offering clients one trusted partner to meet all of their IT and networking needs which is what customers say they want," said Mark Howling, formerly a senior executive with Computacenter PLC (CCCLN) who will become executive chairman of the business.
"The acquisition of Lumison gives us a real opportunity to build such a player," Howling added.

Further to my post above:

1349 GMT [Dow Jones] Panmure Gordon says GBP6B of civil service administrative savings promised by the UK government in its Spending Review are good news for UK IT outsourcing companies. Government had previously promised GBP3B. Cuts will "feed directly into the IT services sector," as the government implements savings using private sector outsourcing, analyst George O'Connor says. Providers including Logica (LOG.LN), with a buy rating and 152p target, Computacenter (CCC.LN), buy rating and 408p target and Phoenix IT Group (PNX.LN), buy rating and 275p target, should benefit. Overseas companies are less likely to benefit as moving public sector jobs abroad will be politically difficult
