@AdamWoodie Wow Capita at 60p per share?! Your projection is more optimistic than the outlandish predictions by the one and only Aimless...only after he has bought in to Capita that is! Of course when Aimless is out of Capita his predictions are more around the 16-18p mark!

@Trisor 'where is that laugh so hard bashing the ground with hand emoji'

It's the emoji right next to the guy with the dark hoodie over his head (also known as the 'stalker emoji').

@Aimless Obviously mid-April 2024. Not the sharpest tool are you...?

Thanks @NoFear. Olde and dear friend, who welds the shepherds crook like no other. I am pleased you are having fun...although not half as much fun as Trisor who still can't get his blood pressure machine to work properly.

@Aimless. Just to add. FYI. I have also been seriously invested in BT since mid-April 2025 (bought at circa £1.03 per share). I bet you didn't know that (...even though you are a frequent contributor to the BT discussion board). No...and why should you? Enough said. Imho

@Aimless. Correction...as always. Ho hum. FYI: I mentioned before you should never think you know why someone invests or sells...or when. The fact is that I sold a large chunk of Capita shares on the same day as NoFear circa 21p (slightly higher actually). NoFear told everyone he was selling, coincidently, I thought about selling it only about 30 minutes before I read NoFear's post. Then, I rememberred 'NoFear is NoFool', so I sold a large chunk on the same day, and made a tidy profit. Just like many others here who choose to buy, and sell and buy back in have done. I planned to buy more since my last sale, at some point, but it was never the same without NoFear...sniff.

I have now sold the remainder of my Capita shares over the last couple of days, and now have £0 invested in Capita for the reason which by now must be clear to all and sundry who bother to read the posts on the Capiat discussion board.

Also Aimless FYI. I bought into Prudentail Plc at £6.01p a while back, so have a nice profit. Prudential will do well over time, of that I have no doubts. I recieved dividends also - could be better, but they are buying back and cancelling shares also. The fact is that Prudential Plc has huge potential. You can disagree, that's your choice. Please do not compare Prudential Plc at circa £6.60 per share with Capita .19p per share. Good grief.

Should I mention some of my other investments, hmmm, let's see, let's start with BAE... Er, no, do your own research and make your own investments.

Honestly Aimless, I think you should stick to your Capita strategy darn it, I forget...are you short or long, are you in or out on Capita...? Do tell, after all it's a new day...

@Garonne. I predicted the Prudential share price would start to rise from Friday 1 November. I anticipate this steady rise will continue until mid-late February 2025. As expected, there has been a steady rise from circa £6.40 1 November to circa £6.50 today. With the US election, it is natural for stocks to be listless in the lead-up to the election. I suppose my point was that it was unlikley that Prudential share price will fall in the lead-up to the election. I predict a solid set of results from Prudential on 6 November. Time will tell if the market reacts favourably to a strong set of results from Prudential amoungst the noise of the election results.

I think the Prudential results are due at 4.30pm 6 November, so will the RNS will released at 7.00am 7 November. I'm pretty sure this is right...?

Is it just me, or is Trisor a stalker?

@Trisor Er, is that yet another statement directed towards me?

(JO thinks: Trisor is a slllooowww learner).

@Wednesday: 'Peace and love'

As sincere as always...not.

@Trisor 'Why are you still on this board?'

(JO thinks: Good grief, Keystone Cops Trisor is at it again!).

Er, Trisor, maybe because you keep commentating on my investment decisions, and asking me dumb questions.

@Trisor. Just to add: No amount of moaning, groaning and crying from you will make me reinvest into Capita and their race-based employee awards. Get over it. Trisor Keystone Cops, I say to you..."Nothing to see here, move along...". Sound familiar?!

@Trisor Have you taken your blood pressure reading yet? Clearly not.

@HHH81. All I have done is stated that I will sell out of Capita. I have also responded to comments directed at me. If the comments (insults) carry on, I'll happily reply. Am I bovvered? Am I bovvered though?

@Trisor. You are indeed clearly deperate with you post and link. You have tried to come up with 'something' on Prudential Plc in order to justify your position that it is perfectly fine to hand out employee awards based on race, and in your desperation to do so, you look rather silly old chap. The fact is that Capita hands out employee awards based on race, hence theor 'black only' awards. That is exclusivity, pure and simple. Prudential does not hand out empoyee awards based on any criteria other than best performace in that category (regardless of race, sex, religion etc). That is inclusivity, pure and simple.

Trisor do you really think my only other stockholding investment is Prudential Plc? If you think this is the case, then my reply to you is: Eye roll, followed quickly by a slight and forced smile, then a slow clap with complete apathy. Sound familiar?!

@Trisor. 'If you are out, just F off'

My oh my you are indeed angry and upset... I think you ought to take anager management lessons. I dont really want to have to break this to you Trisor but you are not the Capita Discussion Board Police. You are however, very similar to the Keystone Cops. Last time I checked, the UK was a free country with freedom of speech. As such, I will buy and sell in whatever company I choose, and I will visit and post on the Capita Discussion Board whenever I feel like it. Heck, I may even play a round of golf on Friday. Trisor, I would say it's you or needs to seriously evaluate whether you ought to remain on the Capita Discussion Board...probably at the same time you take a blood-pressure test. In either case, I will leave you with the imortal words of Rhett Butler: "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."

@Wednesday. I made it clear why I invested in Capita. I have now made it clear as to why I have now sold out of Capita. My principles cannot be bought at any price. I believe in inclusion, not exclusion. I do not belive in self-interest of the few at the expense of the many.

I wonder how the Capita staff 'black only' awards affect the total staff morale at Capita. No doubt when the awards are announced, a roll of the eyes from all and sundry non-blacks...followed quickly by a forced smile and a slow clap. Either that or more likely...total apathy.

I suggest that those of the Capita Fan Club who continue to taunt and make negative comments about my reason and decision to sell my Capita shareholding scroll back to 1 November which was when DarkBlue posted Capita's Linkedin posts about Capita's 'black-only' awards (these awards are open to everyone...er, as long as you're black!), and read the reactions immediately after that post was made. Am I that different in my view to many others here? I think not.

I know - to even the keel on the Capita ship, make it fair so that everyone can participate in the Capita awards, and improve staff morale for all, why not introduce more awards. For example, 'white-only' awards (can you imagine the reaction...?!), 'asian-only' awards... Or religion, 'Catholic-only' awards... Heck, let's go further, gender-based awards: 'he-only' awards, 'she-only' awards, 'they-only' awards... Age-based awards: 'under 20 years' awards, '20-35 years' awards, '35-50 years' awards, '50 years and over' awards... Or better still all combined, for example: 'Black-only, he, under 20s' awards, 'White-only, he, under 20s' awards and so on... Or, maybe, just maybe...all awards open to EVERYONE equally without fear or favour based on the catagory of the award. For example, 'Best Customer Service Award' (and this award is open to ALL employees in the company/department) etc. Imagine that?! No, no, no, we can never have that, can we...? (pause for thought...).

Isn't it funny. I decide to sell out of Capita and all the Capita Fan Club are out in droves. You're crazy they say, you're nuts they say etc. Even SavageKeyboard who dislikes Capita with a passion is on the band-wagon to try and win some support and favour despite his ill-informed, outdated and highly negative views on Capita. The Capita Fan Club (who have now inducted SavageKeyboard into the CFC) must be very, very insecure lot....

In reply I say: Am I bovvered? Am I bovvered though...?

Frankly I'm not bovvered. If the Capita Fan Club think it is absolutely fine to dish out awards to staff based on race, then that is your decision. Not mine. I choose not to support any company who awards staff based on race, sex, religion etc. Capita should provide awards to staff on one criteria, and one criteria only: the best performance in that catagory. Capita should be race blind, sex blind, religion blind etc. Award and promote the best. End of.

Unfortunately, for the Capita Fan Club, the share price is still circa .189p and likely to remain circa 19p for some time yet. Perhaps that is why the Capita Fan Club does not like it when a reasonable investor like myself pulls out. Anyway each to their own. Invest wherever and whenever you like - whether it be Capita or elsewhere. I wish you well.

@Trisor. There is a BIG difference between inclusivity, and exclusivity. Capita hands out black-only awards to the exclusion of all other races. Prudential does not. BTW Trisor you are not the 'Capita Discussion Board Police', and you are no magician, so no I won't disappear...Abracadabra!

@Aimless. I'll take that bet. You ought never to think why any investor buys or sells shares. You will never know and to speculate makes you sound foolish, best to simply ask. FYI I have been in Prudential Plc for quite a while now - I first invested seriously when it reached its lows, so I already have a tidy profit and I am in the process of adding to it. I anticipate my Prudential stockholding will increase between now and mid-late February 2025. Prudential's results are due this week, so what? The fact is that Prudential has a huge potential ceiling (especially as the China stimulus package kicks in and the early signs for the Chinese economy are positive...not that you'll know about it via mainstream media and investment channels) and is a bargain at these current unsustainably low levels. Unfortunately, (besides the Capita black-agenda on awards and no dount promotions etc.) the potential upside is low, so it is not an investment for me anymore. Enjoy your ride with Capita Aimless, but for now we have to part ways. I will check in from time to time as I know there are a few on hear who may want to hear a few thoughts other than from the resident Capita Fan Club or the opposite...the SavageOne.

@Pennylots. I agree. I am sure there are more out there (other than Broomtree, you and me!) who feel the same. I can see the Capita award criteria now: Of course, the award is open to all Capita staff, er if you are black only...non-blacks need not apply. "And the award goes to...." followed by all non-blacks politely smiling at the recipient's good fortune followed by a round of slow clapping...

@Trenners. I wish you all the best and I hope you're right.

@HHH81. No panic here old kipper. The fact is I sold as like broomtree I don't agree with staff awards (gifted) based on a person's ethnic race to the exclusion of all others. That is my choice, love it or lump it lumpy. Enjoy your 'rise' with Capita. The market has set a ceiling of 21-22p and it is unlikely to rise beyond that for quite some time. Get used to it old boy.

BTW You are such a lumpy that you copied a link on BHM from the lightweights 'Prudential Financial Plc'. I am selling my Capita stockholding to £0 to invest in 'Prudential Plc'. Perhaps it's time you took off your brown slippers and trotted off to Specsavers. It is not me, but you who is in a state of panic old boy...and looking rather silly about it.

@Dinoken Very thought provoking...

Good grief.

Here's one for you...

Joe Biden.

@HHH81 'You have made yourself look rather stupid old boy.'

Oh dear me, it seems like you rather have sour grapes old boy...

@Trenners. 'I've just added about 32k shares bringing my holding back to 1.13 million'.

You are bullish on Capita Trenners. Be mindful that Capita at the moment has a clear ceiling in terms of share price. This is unlikley to rise until the next set of results. Even then, it will only be an uptick. It needs 2-3 sets of results in a row for the market to regain trust and confidence in Capita as a worthy and reliable stock to buy and hold. Of course if a dividend was announced with a promise to provide dividends in the future - that would make a difference. However, dividends would be unlikely for the forseeable future, as cash in the bank is far more important for obvious reasons. In addition, the Labour budget will adversley affect Capita in terms of increased minimum wages and NI contributions. Anyway Trenners, best of luck and I hope it works out for you with your Capita shareholdings.

@Trisor 'Never have I seen such a collection of untrustworthy souls.'

Takes one to know one.

@HHH81. Based on the 'recommended' that a few others put on the Black History Month staff awards, I and Broomtree are not alone in our views. I see far better opportunities elsewhere with far better prospects. For a start it would be nice to recieve a dividend every now and then - sadly Capita stockholders will have to wait a very long while for any dividends and growth in terms of company revenue etc. all of which has been well documented. I will invest wherever and whenever I like. I have to it seems like you rather have sour grapes old boy. Anyway I am very happy to continue to pile my Capita shareholding into Prudential Plc. Lets compare and contrast in 3-6 months tme and see which has the highest percentage growth in terms of share price. I know what I know. Best of luck old boy - sincerely.
