Somebody here says they sell when sentiment is turning against a stock. Not sure I would not buy, as sentiment is emotion not reality. Of course short term trading is different to long term.
"I will make this promise. If I get the opportunity to make some money and get out of here I will mention it on this board, wish everyone luck and never de-ramp. Only time I would ever be on here is if I'm invested"
@Trisor - that's really good and that's always my approach. If I sell, I do it and I don't go around posting negative and FUD posts soon after I've sold. NoClue is a different kettle of fish though and he's very predictable and this has been proven many times over than I can count. I can promise you this much - he'll be back in a few days deramping CPI as he thinks it will go lower if he de-ramps on here. It's a bit like AimLess's positional posts.
I'd be massively surprised if he doesn't deramp, but I don't expect to be.
No Fear , I must admit to being puzzled that you would sell whatever holding you had having spent apparently hours putting together various things. Your choice ofcourse
Obviously if you revert to de-ramping again , I will be putting you firmly on ignore for good. Not that you would mind a jot, Im sure. What gets my goat is those who talk a game one way , only to switch to precisely the opposite as if the former "talk" had never taken place.
I will make this promise. If I get the opportunity to make some money and get out of here I will mention it on this board, wish everyone luck and never de-ramp. Only time I would ever be on here is if I'm invested
That's right there, Terry. He's making the right noises, finally for us long suffering Shareholders, but it'll all boil down to how he can execute that strategy. Based on some of the messages on this board from ex-Capita employees, new cuts have begun and we'll no doubt hear more about this in the June update.
I'm under no illusion that if AH can't pull this off, then CPI will probably head towards administration in the coming years and as it stands, the market is already saying that we're half-way there - unjustifiably so, IMO.
Thank you AimMaster2018 for your kind thoughts. Hope it works out for you and everyone here invested with the new Ceo Adolfo.
Catch you around😏
Market starting to move upwards imho
"He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy"
But he is now our best hope to get out of this mess, so far I am pleased with his approach and a breath of fresh air after JL sell everything, lie and put your head in the sand strategy . The main issue for me is will the workers understand this is our last chance and accept the changes.
I don't think he even needs to be a messiah. All we ever needed was a CEO who acknowledged how bloated the cost structure was and that CPI would never generate the required FCF if no changes were made. Woke JL kept going for as long as he did having a Kumbaya with everyone other shareholders. A diligent CEO like AH only understood and acknowledged the unsustainability of such an approach and is now embarking to cut costs big time. I, at least, am not privy to what may be coming in the strategic review in a couple of months' time, but showing cost cuts and a pathway to clear FCF from 2025 onwards would be key I'd imagine. Unlike JL, he did make a couple of market purchases soon after he could and given it's make or break time for CPI, I'd like to think he's focused on delivering this sustained cash returns message to the market. Maybe a new CFO annoucement beckons in the update?
It seems AH is regarded as some sort of messiah. AH is not announcing to the market his growth strategy until June 24 that’s 6 months of growth and pipe line building gone. AH vision to use partners has both benefits and drawbacks. When Capita started out it was heavily dependent on partners which worked fine for a while. However, using partners means margin on margin and limited control. The lead company is always held accountable by the customer when things go wrong
Hope it works out for you nofear 🙂. I just feel the stock held solid at 14p even when everything else was dropping for the past two days. Its just yesterday afternoon, it suddenly dropped which I can see why. I think market maker pulled it down to trigger stop losses whilst the sentiment dropped to grab cheap shares. A good inflation Print could mean they can sell at higher price. Also it was a healthy pull back after recent rise. Hoping for 14s again, or else I'll add more. Imho gla 🙂
Oh well RogueRiver
And I quote:
"It completely undermines his credibility, such as it is."
I would disagree with your observation. The fact I decided to exit earlier without wishing to give the cpi share any further opportunities to see where it would go and notwithstanding the amount of premium data that I shared here, doesn't mean that after all that effort an investor is obliged to stay on.
You've got to also look at the sentiment surrounding a stock.
If I suspect the sentiment is changing for a stock, then that's when I revert to a risk & reward assessment of the stock and that's why I pulled out.
You can't blame me for not trying.
Clearly it’s the individuals call on when to sell, I tend to use trailing stop losses but each to their own
The issue here was all the extreme hype and then selling at a penny loss and bailing without a word
I sold some cine at a loss. Also sold 50k CPI at between 15.7 and 22p when average was far higher. Really glad I did
@Owls
Same here. It is always wise to have an exit strategy, especially when it's clear that a share is in danger of terminal decline.
I certainly wouldn't criticise NF for getting out. My problem is with having to wade through pages of his messianic zeal for this company, week after week, only to have him abruptly hit the ejection button one day. It completely undermines his credibility, such as it is.
Not seeing any significant bounce in US, European futures up a touch. I certainly won’t be putting new money to work until there’s some clarity on the political situation. Isreal strikes Iran and we could easily take another dive.
Thanks Kamyk
I hope things will work out for your investments whichever those are including cpi too🤞
Have a good rest of the week😉
Selling at a loss has saved me thousands over the years, Superdry, Thomas Cook, Debenhams to name a few.
As predicted, US markets to recover this evening. Inflation data tomorrow to come in lower, and uk markets to bounce imho
Leave NF alone
Nm.
My experience is that selling at a loss is always a mistake. The market is fickle and the price seldom reflects the true value. If you went in, why go out .by the way, you don't all seem to be great chums here. Suggest cool it , show some love babes
Nothing that NoClue does should ever be surprise. If he's now sold (again) after pumping this for a few weeks now, why is that ever a surprise? Anyways, moving past his pointless shenanigans, we're stuck in a range and I took the opportunity to add more today. My holdings here is the highest its ever been, obviously not to value wise. It's been a painful few months, but with AH at the end, I'm confident he can pull off what the hapless JL couldn't.
I'll add more if it hangs around these levels OR goes down!!!
@broomtree
Your observations of NF are spot on. He's totally shameless about it too. It is quite bizarre how someone can be so mentally (as well as literally) invested in a cause, to the point of utter fixation - and then, one day, he just decides to nonchalantly walk away from it all.
Be happy broomtree that I shared anything with you cpi investors.
If I wasn't so caring as I'm normally am, you and many others here wouldn't had not jàck šhit if not from what I kindly shared. You wouldn't have been able to afford it.
Moreover, If you think that ramping or deramping a stock is a sign of suffering from a bipolar disorder, than all those stock brokers that constantly publish contracting stocks ratings must be suffering from the same disorder.
What gives you the right to go around the chat forums insinuating that I were to be suffering from a psychiatric disorder?
How dare you🤬!
Not that I would be ashamed if I did suffer from any kind of mental disorder, but to be posting comments implying that I do, is imho very rich coming from you. So, hey yeah. Keep accumulating those recommend👍 up votes. Whoever voted for your stupid post can join you to the same place where the sun never shines. Iđiot
Please do me a favour and take a good look at your asŝhole before you looking at others. You may be surprised what you'll find in your back end.
Hi broomtree... I purchased another tranche of BT recently for about 104p as I see it as being defensive... Right now for me CPI looks vulnerable to unexpected cutbacks, as terrible performance of UK PLC precipitates... constant press defence of 'robust UK economy' increasingly looks delusional, as its true condition is gradually being revealed with emerging data. The legacy the next Gov inherits will be worse than anyone envisages imo.
