@NF,"As you might not have heard yet, I'm hoping that soon I will be able to get a full list of all institutional investors sitting on the register with proper dates of buy and sells that normally we don't get to see. "
Excellant, that would be good info/data for all of us, thanks

@Aim, you did a post last weekend about 'what we know so far', which i enjoyed reading. Well, a week on from that a we know a good bit more after the webinar & another director buying. Hopefully more director buys to follow. 13 weeks to wait until Capital Markets Event and we recieve more from our new motivational CEO. Agree with someone who said a run up in share price to that point is possible. 13p, or thereabouts, might turn out to be 'the bottom'.
Dismiss the naysayers, do your research and put yer money on RED 13.....

My two penn'orth, for what it's worth;
Things seem different now to me. JL was the sort of CEO that saw Capita as an extension of a Government body. He ran it for years, far too long, selling off good companies to make the books look better than they really were. Hardly a thought to the shareholder. Anyway, that's all behind us now. It is what it is!
Along comes Adolfo Hernandez, a totally different kind of CEO. He tells it like it is and talks in a way I can understand. I like that. He believes in empowerment, in accountability. He is a 'leader', a motivator. He will take the hard decisions for the good of the company. I can very well understand, under the last CEO, why morale within the company might have been so poor. Employees feeling undervalued, unappreciated. Things are different now. If some employees feel that the grass is greener elsewhere, then they can leave. But they may well look back in only a year or so and have regrets on that decision. I would say to those people, get behind this new man. But if you really see a better future for you and your family elsewhere, then go.
As a shareholder of over 4 years I am feeling the pain of the current share price, as many here are. My advise is not to gaze at the share price on a mimute by minute or hourly basis, but to look more at this new situation and consider it as a turning point, both for Capita and your investment. I'm adding on weakness (12.99p yesterday), with a time frame of 12/18 months. Like some here I have way more shares than I ever anticipated, but feel now more than before that my investment in Capita, and by extension, Adolfo Hernandez, will do very well in the end.
The best of luck to all long term holders....
It's about £10k worth, so not staggering. But her 1st buy since joining 2 years ago. Got to ask; why now? What does she know that has prompted her decision?
Remember NF worked out that Capita has access to a Bloomberg Terminal, so will have vastly better quality data than us PI's. Purchases up to 975,000 shares since 6th March. Share price is mighty frustrating, but i am trying to concentrate on the company & new CEO for my own sanity, if i have any.
The Company has been advised that Nneka Abulokwe, Independent Non-Executive Director purchased 74,324 Ordinary Shares of 2 1/15p each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") on 20 March 2024, as detailed below.
So Stop Losses then, how do they work exactly? I have never used a stop loss, I guess it's more of a 'traders' tool. But surely it's massively opening yourself up to manipulation by the people who set the market?
Say you buy here at 13.8p, obviously looking for a return with a rise in SP. The MM's 'spike' the price down , often at 'open' but at anytime, so as to trigger those 5% s/l's at close to 13p. 5% loss right there plus costs. So result is MM's have hoovered up your shares on the cheap, to later lift the SP and offload. Or, would they be doing this on behalf of a client who wants to quietly build a long position?
Just trying to get my head round how all this works in practice
@bubb, disagree this is the fault of the new CEO; he's just dealing with the mess left behind by the last guy
Maybe he's just trying to catch a falling knife like the rest of us 'stormtroopers'.
Or building a position based on what he knows, and we skint little people don't.
Same thing might also be happening with VOD
I just don't see the new CEO, together with the Chairman, sholling out for 900,000 shares between them over the last 9 days, and then the company goes bankrupt.
Plain 'ol manipulation
Patience required
I think NF is probably correct on this. MM's holding the price at a level for their clients to buy. It's just how the 'game' works. I also recon if you buy at this level and come back in 12 months you will have done well enough; better than any cash ISA rate certainly, hopefully more.
Just home and catching up with today's events. I see our new CEO 'Obi Wan', has bought in again, building a rather nice position imo.
So, peasants, just another 9/10 trading day's until the new tax year and we can all top up our ISA's. Where to put it is the question. Buy more CPI? Could do, some here will have £20k to spread around. Might top up on some VOD. Even a few more BATS, but they are flying today after baybacks started (see what i did there...lol) ITV, another option, tho no, i have enough. Been watching BHP & RIO, not hit my targets yet tho, sadly. AV & LGEN, i have enough in my income p/f.
Decisions, decisions eh....
E&oE
Thanks for your answers,
Am definitely not in the 'trader' camp. I have bought in, and then averaged down so now i'm at a break even of circ 23p.
As a comparrison i bought into Meta & Coin 18 months back, or thereabouts. Both have come good, eventually, with averaging down and patience. From this experience i am hoping Capita will, in the end, give me the same results.
I do my research, as we all must do, looking at company reports etc. Some others might prefer to draw lines on charts, that's good for them. But with me it's also about the person at the top. Mark Zuckergerg at Meta & Brian Armstrong with Coin. Both, very good communicators. Ok, i have to caveat that as i got it good and properly wrong with JL. But i do like AH, and see him as more like the previous two than JL. A totally differant fish!
In summation, i'm not in for 1p, 2p, 3p rise and out. Then hope it drops. Medium to long term.
I tried a couple of weeks ago double guessing the market. Sold 1/3 of my Coin at $192.50 as i 'thought' the SP was overbought. SP went on to $254. Basically, i'm cr*p at trading shares......
So, not directed to anyone in particular, but can one of you explain to me how writing something on here can in any way have an affect on the share price? Surely nobody in their right mind would make investment decisions based on something they read on a message board!
We are all just little people commenting on a free message board yer? How can we move the share price of a £250million company by saying 'i'm buying/selling'?
The Market Makers moving millions of shares between buyers & sellers, the shorters like Marshall Wace, the analysts & finally the corrupt media have much more sway that us fools.
Please explain .....
Mate , i got well and trully sucked into the JL turnaround story. (or allowed myself). Chair should have fired him after 2/3 years imo, but that's history now. I am where i am from my own stupidness; dug my own hole so to speak, but recon there are a good few on here done the same. Personally, i think this has been a traders share for a while now, but am not clever enough for that game.
Moving on and looking forward to a Capita under AH, i'm much more positive. If i get to circ23p, my break even point, will i sell out? Under JL defintely, under AH, not so sure is the truth. My pockets are not as deep as many on here but will say i'm at circ£2,000 a penny. If AH takes SP from 13 to 23, i may rue selling out. Who knows, lets get there first eh...
