"He is not saddled with a Gordon like Tony was!"

So he won't be selling off all our Gold reserves at $750 an ounce, as Brown did then Simpiles. Don't even mention the raid on everyone's pensions....

Iron Chancellor my a*se!

Sorry to be off topic..

You good Pilgrims on here have got to learn to love thy neighbour more.....

....now THAT will definatly show your age!

Actually, those under 50 might want to Google 'Arkwrights till' in order to understand what the juice i'm on about....

Well if FearLess is going to risk his fingers in Arkwright's till, then i feel duty bound to pony up too

Limit Order for 10,000 @ 18.45 set for tomorrow....

Good luck all true believers.....

Agree Simpiles, the Market Maker has all the data and 'makes the market' by use of moving the Bid/Offer up or down (also the spread)

The clue to what they do is hidden within their name.....all IMV

Wildcat, do you think the MM's have dropped the SP so 'friends' can load up before good results Friday week? Seems to be a decent amount of good news around this company since AH took over. Wonder if we will look back at a 6 month chart in October and see a drop prior to a rise on results. Doesn't bother me as i'm a long term holder & not a trader, so the SP right now is irrelevant, but a good chance to top up for some maybe.

Marcus, that was sold while JL was at the helm selling anything he could get his hands on to make the books look good...

Think AH is much smarter and would have seen the company differantly. Indeed, it may well have still been part of Capita contributing nice profits....IMV

See what you mean; should have read 'after all has been revealed'....

Yep, day after digesting the H1 results PJ....results come out 7am Fri 2nd

Agree with all that SP will drift up, down or sideways.....lol

In the meantime, will predict with absolute certainty that the SP will end results day at 25p minimum...lol2

David, i thought that posting how you feel about a share was the whole idea of a message forum mate.

Drift up....drift down..... come back on August 3rd when all will be revealed.

E&oE

Trenners, mine's a similar plan with CPI. 37,800 shares in my dealing (non ISA account) which i will Bed & ISA on 6th April. Balance is already in ISA's, so Reeves can go whistle. These are long term for a hopeful dividend. I get the impression AH is more open to returning money to long suffering shareholders through the use of dividend &/or BB's.

I'm trying to supplement my St Pension & Com Pension through tax free dividends. Already have holdings in Aviva, L&G, Vodafone & Diversified Energy, to this purpose.

Other stocks are NYSE; Meta & Coin. Meta bought purely at c$160 as a punt when i was feeling more risk-on. Buy n hold; top up on the dips, as this past week. Coin; sold some yesterday to lock-in profits and to reduce exposure to crypto, as not comfy. $280, & will sell some more.

To increase my divi shares am considering Vale ADR or BHP. But my shares/cash balance is about where i want it to be for the time being....

Agree with all that Tren, but Fearless is a trader, so he will be looking at a short term 'in & out' strategy. 18.7 would be neigh on a 10% drop from Fri close. None of it bothers me anyway, as i have my full holding of 258,000 and am happy to sit back and wait for eventual dividends. In the meantime i'll be in the blue from 23p......

Got to pick both of you up on your dreadful choice of words.

IF.....?IF.....? Surely it should be WHEN??

Haha.....lol

All have a great weekend and enjoy the lovely weather(except those in Green Coffins)

PJT, mate, i've had this fool in a Green Box for weeks now. Total distrupter. Just says things to wind folks up. No contribution worth reading.....IMV

Ok, so two weeks today we wake up early to be ready for the 7am RNS. It's results day for Capita. First half of 2024, up to June 30th, Adolfo's first 6 months. What do you good people think will be revealed? Hopefully no more kitchen sinking and the start of a proper turnaround. What effect will the recent huge sale have? Is that a gamechanger; it moved the SP from 15 to 20 quickly enough. Will it bring forward the numbers we all thought were coming in 2025/6? Surely no more of JL type one off exceptional items to muddy the water. So will it be Good,Bad or more plain Ugly?

Tick tock folks.....

@DARK, tho it could be weeks before shorts get reported. Wrong really. Not very transparent.....IMV

Some really excellant comments/opinions overnight on the company. Thanks all....

Nice not to be fixated on the slightest movement in the share price for a change!

Thanks Hex, i thing the 'smoke n mirrors' method reporting is gone now and died a death with the old CEO/CFO. AH seems much more transparrent. We will see on August 2nd....

£8.5m contract. Serco & SS achieve 10% margins. So if AH has managed same thats £850,000 profit?

Small contract, but from little acorns etc....Wonder if we will get an RNS on this?

@Hex, so a sale is just money from the sale of part of the business, so not an influance on the performance of that business?
