That is how I see it chart wise, completed 5 waves down now in an abc correction with inverse head shoulders pattern still intact.

Either we completed the b wave and are now heading a lot higher or possible that the b is still completeing in which case could go back down 175-180p. Anything lower than 175p I would be worried and will invalidate my analysis in which case I will sell.

Clearly aviva have held the price down for too long, we got a holdings the other day and price shot up 7%...could mean they only wanted to reduce holding and have finished. Lets see what price does over next couple weeks.

Fundamentals pointing north. Holding £75k now.

Getting into the NHS for business is indeed difficult as I know from my own experience.

Once you have done it once though and then have a reference site, it does mean that you have passed all the hurdles meaning that it should become much easier in the future. Effectively NCC can now become one of the privileged insiders.

Trying to get into the NHS for any kind of work is mission impossible, many have tried and failed after investing millions

News yesterday of NCC commissioned by an NHS Trust to investigate cyber security breaches and finding faults in its firewall:



Which should be a good reference for more NHS Trust work:

"Many trusts have been re-evaluating the cyber security arrangements in the wake of the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole attack, including Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust which overhauled its IT strategy to reflect cyber threats.

Trusts that have recently reviewed their cyber security include; Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals, North Tees and Hartlepool, and Cheshire and Wirral NHS foundation trusts, among others.

The moves comes against a backdrop of a rising cyber-security threat for the NHS, with concerns that many trusts still rely on legacy IT systems, such as Windows XP, that are vulnerable to attack."

I would like to see us consolidate here for a few days to complete the pattern before moving on.

[a2584728] 01/2/2017 18:47

I think when the pattern is complete we will be off to 240p minimum. News could take us further

Can't be much more left for aviva to sell off

"Crucial" new office opened in Singapore:



"NCC Group expands into South East Asia

The cyber security firm's new base in Singapore aims to help businesses in South East Asia protect their brand, value and reputation against the ever-evolving threat landscape

Jonathan Symcox 10:59am 1st Feb 2017

Cyber security firm NCC Group has launched a new office in Singapore.

The new base aims to help businesses in South East Asia protect their brand, value and reputation against the ever-evolving threat landscape.

NCC Group CEO Rob Cotton said the pace of innovation in the region is accelerating at an astounding rate.

“This is why it was crucial for us to open an office in this region,” he added.

“With customers now in ten countries across Asia Pacific, this will enable us to better service our customers throughout Singapore and the wider South East Asia region helping to revolutionise the way these organisations think about cyber security and risk mitigation.”

Manchester-headquartered NCC Group will also be expanding its presence in Australia due to growing demand for cyber security services in the APAC region.

The firm has outgrown its current base in Sydney and will be moving into larger premises over the coming weeks. It also plans to open an office in Melbourne later this year.

NCC Group has more than 35 offices across the world and employs more than 2,000 people."

Increase on shorttracker. Its being pinned

[a2584728] 31/1/2017 14:39

Yes still looks cheap to me.

[ileeman] 28/1/2017 11:46

As long as this stays above 175pish (at the very worst) then the head and shoulders pattern is still in tact and right shoulder should hopefully be completing.

Took a month or so for the left shoulder to consildate so hopefully see this start breaking out in the next couple weeks.

Fundamentals are pointing up, still a great set up imo.

[a2584728] 27/1/2017 16:05

Added more

[ileeman] 27/1/2017 10:21

H and S pattern still there, maybe needs to consildate for a while more before pushing higher.

Minor support at around 180p.

Correct, for the 1.5p interim divi.

Another entry on shortracker today. Now stands at 4.55%

N+1 Singer said this yesterday:

"Attractive entry point

Cyber security remains a highly attractive area of structural growth and there are
limited ways to play the theme in the UK market. Our conservative Escrow DCF results in a £361m valuation. This leaves Assurance valued at just £248m (vs fair
value of £398m to £628m), which we believe is highly attractive. Using the above
SOTP range results in a target price range of 237p to 319p. Buy."

And:

"Refreshing the investment case

The announcement in October’16 of the issues within the Assurance division has
severely dented NCC’s reputation, but we believe the underlying business is sound
and remains attractive. The group has now refreshed the executive team, is engaging
more openly with the market and plans to improve its financial disclosure. We believe these measures will allow investors to focus on the underlying positive attributes of NCC, and take a fresh look at the stock."

Still thinking h+s forming

[staylow1] 25/1/2017 09:21

And another addition on there today.

[staylow1] 24/1/2017 21:34

FYI - NCC looks to have made a new entry on the short tracker list today - NCC - Numeric Investors 1.63% up 0.10% created 19/01Maybe the reason for the bounce.

[ileeman] 24/1/2017 10:17

Same also added.

Bouncing in a range at the moment but can clearly see this should be higher since the half year report. Patience.

[a2584728] 24/1/2017 10:12

Added again this morning

[tsmith2] 20/1/2017 22:56

Inverse h&s

[boadicea] 20/1/2017 15:31

ilovefrogs - That is exactly my view - which means this is a candidate for adding when some cash arrives - shortly, I hope.

[markth] 20/1/2017 14:36

There seems to be some resistance in the 200 to 205 range. Since I'm long I hope it steams ahead once that level is cleared.
