Capita Share Chat (CPI)

My prospects of getting a girl friend are indeed equal to 0%... Because I have a stunning wife!

Though throwing insults may make you feel big and clever they do not change the fact CPI continues to perform very poorly.

Thank you triple H very kind.

What price you looking for here?

Not as far away as your prospects of getting a girl friend Savage.

"Hi Mr Keyboard, what do you like to do in your spare time?"

"Well... I really enjoy filling a void in my life for being completely pointless and boring, by frequenting a chat board for a public services share that I am not even invested in! It's great! I get a real sense of importance by reciting my GCSE economics to all these anonymous people."

-Ghosted. Again. -

Good Morning Shorty39

Nice to see you around.

I will certainly do so in regards to any short activities and whatever might be useful to know.

Good Luck 😉

Feeling lucky this week!

Hoping this constant holding cycle changes!

something has to give ,could it be this week?

Lets hope so!

Nofear

Any shorting activity going on this week then let me know. Big help.

Cheers bro.

Whatever daltry. Suit yourself

Drivel about shorters is just scaremongering. You invest, you wait, you right, you win. The same for shorters. The shorters overall percentage holding is of little consequence to influence the SP.

Hi JamesOxford

I've got your message loud and clear.

I was waiting for your reply and finally duly received it.

Thanks.

@NoFear. If you choose to think of me (and Broomtree) as 'some kind of undeclared shorter that likes to play it both ways' then that is my point. It's fanciful thinking. You appear to spend far too much time focused on the share price and shorters and what is driving the share price up, down or sideways that you run the real risk of only looking for an immediate return at the earliest opportiunity, rather than the serious return in 12-18 months time. I think you have far too much of a day-trader mentality i.e. it's all about the share price.

The fact is the share pirce will always move. Shorters are not a big deal at all. Focus on them if you like, however, it is a rather pointless and fruitless endeavor.

It would be far better to focus on Capita Plc and any news within the industry. Alternatively, spend time on research into other investment opportunities on the LSE and elsewhere. You should always have at least 2-3 already qualified potential investment opportunities at all times, so you can invest as and when the opportunity presents itself.

Whether you choose to belive me or not (I don't actually care either way), as mentioned to you previously, I'm in Capita for the medium-long term and have built up now to £200,000 investment (I do prefer round figures) with further investment to come after the next set of results. I am not alone. Capita is on a lot of investors' radars at the moment. No doubt you will find that more serious private investors (and investment companies) will start to take a position prior to and after the next set of Capita's results.

How SEC mobile phones can signal an imminent stock price drop.

Research tracking mobile data shows how some corporate insiders avoided losses by selling around the time regulatory staff visited.

Mobile phone location data has linked site visits by US securities watchdogs to the headquarters of companies with measurable drops in their share prices - even when no enforcement action is taken

When insiders sold shares right around a non-public visit by staff from the Securities and Exchange Commission, they avoided average losses of 4.9 per cent in the three months after the visit, according to a study led by researchers at four Midwestern universities.

By matching commercially available data with share price moves, the study offers a window into the secretive world of securities enforcement beyond publicly announced cases. It also raises questions about the rules around insider trading.

"Maybe we should be thinking about what the rules are when the SEC shows up,' said Marcus Painter, assistant professor of finance at Saint Louis University and one of the authors.

The research used geolocation data to identify mobile phones that spent significant amounts of time at the SEC's various offices around the country. They then tracked those phones to corporate headquarters around the world in the 12-month period right before Covid-19 lockdowns led to extensive working from home.

The data did not distinguish between phones belonging to inspection staff, who make routine site visits and conduct "sweeps" that target areas of concern at multiple businesses, and the enforcement division, which builds cases against specific companies, Painter said. But 84 per cent of the visits were to groups that have never disclosed being under investigation.

The SEC declined to comment on the study.

Share prices across the board were 1.94 per cent lower than the broader market in the three months after the SEC visit. But the falls at companies where insiders sold stock right around the visit were significantly larger than those where they did not.

The data does not show why the share prices dropped, but Painter said the researchers have several hypotheses: the SEC visits may have distracted staff and management, or news of the visit may have leaked, leading investors to downgrade the stock.

The insider-selling data also highlighted an interesting contrast among companies. Overall, the researchers found that insiders were 16 per cent less likely to sell in the two weeks surrounding an SEC device visit, and the chilling effect was even stronger at groups where

the visit was followed by an enforcement action. But companies where insiders did sell saw much larger share price drops.

"We are interpreting it as [most companies thinking] 'the watchdogs are here, we had better be on our best behaviour','" Painter said.

No Fear - working late so looked in and you’re still at it…… perhaps your nose is actually telling you that you’re a narcissist? Every you post is about you ultimately, there’s an old saying that: ‘self praise…. Is no praise’, perhaps sniff that for a bit.

Your attitude to women is appalling and smacks of inadequacy….. as to ‘pulling a woman’…. I’m not sure you could ‘pull’ a pair of socks on without getting wrong

Now away and enjoy the weekend counting your shorts and fretting over fractions of a penny

I hear you JamesOxford.

But anyhow thanks for your contributions and really hope that me and you can get along and understand, respect each other investment differences, strategies and beliefs. I know you don't mean to be coming across as lecturing and are trying to be somewhat helpful. Moreover, I'm not saying that I don't agree with your analysis of my past comments , but I guess that each to our own and hope for the best and neither of us can for sure know the future and direction of the share price movements unless perhaps one of us two were employed in a Capita senior management position but not part of the BoD and moonlighting here as a private retail investor using that inside information to one financial advantage.

That's all for me. Cheers🙂

No hard feelings.

A very good evening to JamesOxford and thanks for your two recent posts.

For my own peace of mind I do go about and try to find a reason behind the share price drops specially when cpi

should be moving forward rather than backwards. As far as I see it, it matters indeed what's going in the Capita

IR and therefore they can't afford slacking up and laid back, but I guess if they don't have anything that is meaningful

to publish then it would be best to keep Rns to a minimum until that big one comes along.

2. Do you like Capita's senior management; and their transparency and attitude towards stakeholders and shareholders?

I would answer your question above in the negative because I'm not totally convinced that IR Helen Parris and her colleague S.LITTLE are doing enough in bringing in fresh investors big an small ones. They way I see it, the majority of the shares are held by institutional investors and very little amount of retail investors are interested in Capita due to the last four years under Jon Lewis who has alienated and left most small holders with a burned wallet.

As for the other two questions, I shall say that I'm somewhat happy with Capita.

However, shorts do interest me and if I can detect their entries and exits even if just an approximation of their opening and closing volumes and executed buy back prices, for me that's a big bonus and makes the picture much clearer and therefore easy to comprehend. Anything that can support an investor short term,medium or long term is imho very helpful whoever that investor might be. My info is for all to read, use or not use or worse just ignore it and live and learn if then they miss out.

And finally without sounding too rude, please refrain from patronising me and try to dictate how I should or not should post my findings. Somehow, when I read the BroomTree posts and yours JamesOxford, I go away thinking

if you guys really would like for cpi to have gone much lower than recently seen action on the 11th September and

therefore are also some kind of undeclared shorters that likes to play it both ways. I just wander if either of you have

any hidden agendas in for Capita and whether you're both that genuine. My nose tells me that both of you are a bluff.

NoFear - you are clearly into the daily movement of the Capita share price. I am worried that you have become somewhat a 'slave' to the Capita share price. The share price does not care how much you invested, how much you paid, or whether you invested or not. It matters not to the share price.

AH and HP cannot control the Capita share price in any way whatsoever - no matter how many RNS announcements are made. I agree with Broomtree - too many RNS announcements can be viewed as a negative...and desperate.

With regards to shorters - forget about them...they attach to shares like fleas on cardigans...they win some, they lose some. Shorters have no material impact on share prices and/or the direction of share prices.

To ensure you have made the right investment - after you understand the financials (as you know Capita is in turnaround mode and has made huge strides in a short period of time), ask yourself these 3 simple questions:

1. Do you like the direction Capita is headed?

2. Do you like Capita's senior management; and their transparency and attitude towards stakeholders and shareholders?

3. Do you like the marketplace in which Capita operates?

If the answer is yes, then stay invested and top up on the lows. No need to monitor the share price on a daily basis - the rewards will come sooner than you think.

@NoFear: 'In the end I managed to corner 'her' like a man would do in night club on the pull'

Lock up your daugters NoFear is on the loose!

@NOFEAR well done on the call and the feedback 👏👏👏

Must be nice to trade at 5.07 when the market closed at 4.30

"So basically you talked at the poor woman for 10 minutes, she didn’t get a word in and you learnt nothing. Lol … sorry, shouldn’t laugh"

I'm glad I make you laugh Capitalizer. I've always been known as the clown in my family but everyone loved me to bits.

I've always managed to turn a sour day into a happy for most people.

But, it wasn't a fruitless conversation with Helen Parris.

I did remind her who I was and my investment position in Capita which is different from the one that I've disclosed publicly in this cpi forum. Which one is the correct one and which one is not is of course for me a secret not to be told and divulged.

The take away in the end is, she's aware that I'm watching her back and needs not to forget her very important role in the IR department at Capita.

Take Care and Have a great weekend😎

Correction

*Distinctive

I fired in another question to try to get a more *distinctive answer that I was hoping to get on the earlier question.

That's right Capitalizer

I detected that Helen was going to put that same already heard speech.

So, I slowly bumped into her speech and took over the conversation and delivered my questions and awaited her answers.

When I noticed that her answers were part of what we've already heard before, I fired in another question to try to get a more distinction answer that I was hoping to get on the earlier question. In the end I managed to corner 'her' like a man would do in night club on the pull😁

So basically you talked at the poor woman for 10 minutes, she didn’t get a word in and you learnt nothing. Lol … sorry, shouldn’t laugh

No offence intended … just made me laugh picturing the call. Brightened up my day ROFL 🤣
