@CFB, thanks for your comments & opinion. Refreshing for someone to actually set out their reasoning.

The short level does concern me somewhat, tho could certainly be a hedge. But there are so many funds shorting now, 10 in all, they are unlikely to be all hedging. Plus at 7.64% it's the highest since 2018 by a margin.

With the CSPS contract, i think Capita was in for a spanking no matter how much they tried. From the likes of Anderson, Unions & left leaning media......

I wouldn't pay this much mind, is just ambulance chasing. Will come to naught imv

Fair enough CFB, good comments. Do you have any on the level & motivation of increasing short interest?

Ok Brian, thanks for that. But, there may be an argument, not by me, that taking this contract may actually harm the Capita brand and reputation. MyCSP were always going to have a 'scorched earth' policy once contract was lost. Tho i think Dec 1st was worse than anyone could have imagined.

Yes, are potential clients put off from this? Again, reputational damage......

Maybe this is what is behind the increase in short interest.....

Only mentioning as Capita use their AI products, but does anyone own any Salesforce stock? Am researching over weekend and wondered if any of you Warren Buffetts had any views.....

'brush their own teeth'

Should have read...wipe their own a**e....imv

Brian, are you perhaps suggesting it wasn't the wisest thing to take on the hot potato contract in the first place? Especially so with this Socialist left thinking Government.

It's all we seem to be focussed on and not all the great work Capita is doing elsewhere.

It didn't take long Sim. No mention of how Capita were handed a hot potato from the start. This Anderson woman has the knives out for Capita it appears...

Appreciate that Brian, next stop Wednesday 8th

Wonder what the media will write over the weekend. Doesn't take much for a hack to knock out a Crapita story....

This is an example of a strategy that is working for me OA.

I recently sold all my Coin @ $214. Bought back in 5 tranche's from $176 down to $148. I plan to sell all on any rise back to the $212 area. But, if the price stalls at say $173 (as it has recently) i will sell my $148 buys, locking in some capital gain, keeping the rest. I always sell the cheapest, as often you see a 'double bottom'. My old strategy of waiting only for the $212 didn't pay for me. Top slicing do some call it?

Very rare that i catch the absolute bottom, and i have to average down, maybe 3 - 4 times. Am waiting for LGEN to reach 295p, and i'll use the same strategy. It works for me, tho is certainly not investment advice......

Am guessing English is not your first language Y.

Have you ever considered taking a course on writing, perhaps online? It would be invaluable to you and you would learn how to construct sentences, structure paragraphs, where and when to use capital letters, commas, and full stops. Am sure you would benefit from this and be more able to communicate your views in a way we can all understand.

Just constructive advice my friend.......imho

Manipulation of the share price can be seen on L2. Also, see it in the free to view trades here and on ADVFN. (but don't take for granted that every buy is a buy, or sell a sell)

The actual price is being held down or up by trades of sometimes 1 share, maybe 20 shares. When the SP was in freefall for a few days recently you could see that every time the price tried to rise it was immediately slapped down. Not only with Capita, it happens across the board, but especially with smaller caps.....I thought the update was pretty much as expected. Yes, i also see the MM's dribbling the SP into the 200's over the next 5 weeks to H1

Someone made a point re shorts increasing, that it may be a hedge against an accumulating long position. This may indeed be the case.

Agree with your contributions this morning Max.

I got a quote at 402p the other week but fluffed it. No doffing of cap to me i'm afraid.....but yes, well done those who did

@H, fully agree; the share price is not the company at the moment

9:30 & no update yet......

Thanks for sharing Brian

YTB, a great load of wishful thinking substantiated by not a single fact. How's that bargain buy at 325 doing?

How about sharing some of your in depth research that brings you to these opinions?

CSPS update today then?

Wonder how SP, media & union nutters react

I really don't understand why this person thinks stuff we peasants write on here makes a s*it of difference to the share price of this or any multi-million pound company

Can someone please kindly explain if they believe it does....

Having said that 'The Bot' does have a point! That is a huge amount of shorted shares.....& rising.

Au contraire ME, i think saying he/she/it made money on a rise from 287 to 291 was the best belly laugh. 4p, lol

Then the SP carried on to 300. Has the Master lost his/her midas touch.......all imho

If you are looking forward to a nice retirement at 67, you may be disappointed. Germany is raising it to 70 now. ABurn and his Socialists are considering all options including raising our State Pension age so you working people will have to work an extra 3 years to get the same amount. Triple Lock also under review. Nothing is beyond consideration. From a PM with no mandate from the British people. A democracy??
