Another spike in shares on loan (short interest?) to 30 Million with another 400k sold off today, think I will wait stay out and see what transpires here............

Yes, but what surprises me is the number out on loan, 10% of the entire share capital........... Agreed about the unwinding, but depends how many used on top of normal selling pressure and trading, There has been no where near that many shares traded recently. Im still cautious and will wait and see if i get a better buy in price again as its back up to 79p and i missed 75p..............

http://www.dataexplorers.com/products/data By the way, thats 25 times the shares that were out on loan normally i.e. approx 1 million.........

Well, something deffo smells now, XCH shares out on loan approx 25 million?? thats approx 10% of the total number of shares?? Its not always the case but that many shares out on loan "could" mean that someone is shorting XCH............ The two recent contract announcements were very good news and yet the SP has fallen from the 80 - 83 range it was trading in. Also as Prof has noted previously if the fundamentals were as good as report in the annual report recently then why has this not gone back up to approx £1? Im still out but watching like a hawk :-D may miss the boat but then again i might not and get a bargin if they fall....

http://www.youtube.com/killikfinancevideos Just for holders information........... 5:22 to 6:00

No, thats a fair point you make, and I agree the fundamentals look better than people thought (it was believed to be a basket case going the way of CNT and TRX) but I have a right to change my mind and also to make a bit more money/shares trading along the way ;-P And, as for trading the dips, well, we have one now, its dropped 5p since i got out. I will wait and see if it drops a little more, as I said below 70p ish buy back in........

Yeah, I was going to hold long term but something smells to me, XCH cant seem to push above the 83p mark, I have also noted a gradual sell off over the last 2 weeks which is weird as results were not the bag of crap people were expecting them to be......... Wondering if there is some more bad news to come yet (which we as PIs not privi to) as, if the results were not as bad as the company suggests then why have these not shot back up to £1+ I could be wrong and miss the boat, looking for sub 70p buy back in. But as Prof notes "im not smart enough to make money that way" As for trading the dips well, there aint really been any tbh...............

Hmm, drifting lower and over the last two weeks or so there has generally been more sells than buys, Im out at 81p and gonna wait and see if we get a retrace for a buy back opportunity, this needs some news to help it along. The news about the Aussie contract renewal didnt boost it at all.

400k Share buy, very nice, will correct yesterdays drop soon if we get more buys comming in soon...........

Read the Profs posts below, also look at their web page and their results, not half as bad as the analysists were suggesting, restructuring already started and a there is a possibility of a takeover by a larger company in the same business sector...... A return to divi next year will be a good yield at your original buy in price....

Mate, if you had been following the volumes yesterday then you will have noticed that there were approx 3 - 2 sells to buys (if my data is correct). Approx 1 million shares traded 600k - 400k, IMO thats the only reason we had a pull back. Volume is light this morning and price is steady. Sell out at your Peril, 100 a share very soon I reckon, with more to follow in the next 12 - 24 months......... Check the fundamentals and reports on their site if you are worried. Remember, patience is the key............

Gutted i couldnt sell first thing as I was at work :-( from 0500 ah well, will wait and see were we go over the next few days, interesting times ahead.........

http://telegraph.uk-wire.com/cgi-bin/articles/201103280900017174D.html?epic=XCH David Andrews has put 4 million shares of his XCH holding in a trust for his kids, if thats not a vote of long term confidence in this business I dont know what is....................

Fully agree with your sentiments and a nice little rise today. Keeps pulling back slightly as a few sells come in but just wondering if someone has started building a position on the QT and just not declared it yet, price is rising easily on low volumes...... Also, I agree that profit figure for this year £22.9million would appear to be distorted by one off writedowns and other items that they wanted out in the open, lets hope the "analysts" review XCH soon and we see further upgrades..........

http://www.xchanging.com/InvestorRelations/FinancialReportsPresentations.html Listen to the vid, very interesting and totally supports the investment case here. With the one off items such as Cambridge and the losses at the Italian business stripped out, XCH did better than last year with revenues and Profits similar/slightly better, their SP then was circa £2 a share. At current levels, if/when the divi is reinstated as well next year means a yield of approx 4% - 5%, that is excellent on top of the high possibility of a large SP increase....... May have to wait a while though (1 year timescale?). Also the possibility of a takeover looms with xch on such a low valuation, interesting times ahead and glad im in for the ride, Gelston? Prof? Any thoughts?

A little bit of profit taking today and yesterday i reckon as had an upgrade to neutral with a Canacord raising its price target to 79p. Had a sell order in yesterday at 82p and didnt hit "confirm Order" gutted now as I would have got straight back in this morning!

The 153k Shares showing as a buy yesterday is an uncrossing trade so its not actually a buy or sell, its the MMs balancing their books............

People thinking of selling out should think twice, the services sector will get huge boost from the govt saying they were going to "outsource" a lot of work...... http://www.youtube.com/user/KillikFinanceVideos#p/u/0/r_OZ9V_9jNQ Only the last 60 sec or so were he talks about Capita and the services sector in general saying Capita has further value in it, they have a P/E of 14, even with the price rise in the last week XCH are only on a P/E of approx 3. The fundamentals are sound, they are consolidating the business practices for synergies across the board, good long term contracts in place (5 years +) and are ripe for a takeover, hold on for at least a quid I reckon :-D and as the Prof notes this was £2 on current fundamentals only 6 mths ago. Already 2:1 buys to sells this morning. Prof, ta for your posts very insightful and helpful.

Im a muppet tonight ;-D i ment 2 : 1 buys to sells heh.....

Why do you say it is interesting to see him buying?? Also of note is in the past few days (from just prior to results and after until today) there has been a large increase in the volumes traded, and on every day there have been far more buys than sells, 1 : 2 today for example, if the availability of shares dries up the SP will rise accordingly.....
