Even better, I've just gone into my account to put an order on to add and I find I don't hold any! I'd forgotten I'd sold (but it looks like it was a good decision). I've bought a few back a little over 254 and will accumulat as it falls from here.

On the bright side, the lower it gets, the better the entry price for those convinced about it's future. I think 252 is pretty well inevitable now. The big question I have is 'will we actually see 235 or below'. Seems ridiculous of course, but I fear that without some positive news it could drift that far down. FOMO will probably have me adding before that.

You beat me too it Viewing, sorry for the duplication.

41000 employees across 8 countries. Capita Europe (Ger and Switz has over 5,500). Ireland has over 1200. It seems likely most of the rest (at a guess) 33000 plus, are in the UK. Be interested to see what you get as a response from IR.

Tav, i've looked it up and subscribed. Will give it a go soon. Thanks again.

Thanks for that Tav, not watched it but will try to remember to add it. I watch a lot of youtube financial stuff.

For me, volume was high from Nov 7th (the drop) and early today (a rise in first 1h), since then it's tailed off steadily each hour. I find it easy to believe there was a big seller (stated by someone else) on the drop (although it could conceivably have been many retail investors spooked by the RNS), but currently it looks more like retail buying and selling. Obviously we're off today's peak, but with rose tinted glasses you could argue from a TA perspective that we could get some buying here. What was 66 as a likely maximum is now 61 or so to my mind if it follows previous similar trades I've studied. I still see a fall back early next week to test the low.

has certainly brought the t i ts and timewasters out. i've filtered 8-10 people over the last 2 days. the bright side is that i'll not see any of the utter ****e they post on any other board. bb's make my head spin.

Worth looking at what's happening in the US. A number of companies are putting pressure on for employees to move back to an office based model. Amazon is one. Sorry off the top of my head I can't recall them all. Some are basically saying come back 5 days a week or you're no longer going to be eligible for promotion, others that you risk having your contracts terminated, others that a 3 day office based hybrid will be enforced. That space will be interesting to watch. Recenlty 4 office buildings in London were listed for sale. The prices seemed high, I'm not sure if they were sold or not, but there's a fair chance that the prices will have to fall due to low occupancy. What's the point heating/lighting a huge space with no-one in it? I'm not convinced the WFH situation has been settled yet. When the office buildings are sold at massive losses, the banks take a massive hit (contracts permit those with the loans to return the property to the banks without paying the loan; if the property has dropped 70% then the banks are stuck with that loss). This is not speculation, its'happening. The damage done will depend on the scope of the problem. WFH is not a good thing in many cases.

Thanks Ice, I also have an interest in your views. It's still worth taking into account the human nature side of things (TA/Charts). Together with you guys fundamental knowledge it can add up to good profits.

Sorry that was in response to your 'ex-auditor' comment.

I see 66p max today and a fall back as likely on monday. Already stated.

Thanks Jxp, always good to have an educated view.

Back into auction I guess?

Ice, I can't tell you that. Not an area that I'm good at. Also i'm long, so I'm hoping to make a profit. But as I previously said, I've studied this type of (TA/chart) situation closely and despite having something like 17 straight wins because of it, that quickly changed and I started making losses. So I re-evaluated and it is my view, that there is no rush here. I really do think there is a sensible chance the SP will revisit it's lows of around 46p and even go a little further down. I'm essentially studying investor/trader mentality rather than you side of things which is seemingly more fundamental. I cannot see into the future, but I know what works for me and what works less well and what doesn't work.

Sm, in my view todays rise is over excited PI's buying into a 'sure thing'. The risk here is real. Be careful; Accountancy inconsistencies are not a good thing. I accept the views of others that for the moment we're discussin goodwill, but I'd still beware out there.

I've studied this type of situation in the past. The market is carefully trying to establish what the value of the shares is. In my view, the max for today is 66 but that's based on a falling marker so it's very unlikely to hit that). The 2nd day (Monday) has a high likelyhood of falling back and even dropping below what you think the low is now. Nothing is certain, but I have studied it. In my view, there is no rush to over expose here and I think Monday will give new opportunities. The risk is real.

I'll take the other side of your argument bullish, I see momentum failing fast, 444 or lower very likely, probably 442. If that does not bring in buyers then we're back on the path to 350ish or below. I'm watching closely, very interested and have traded it but am waiting now as the risk looks large.

CR, that data is bull sh i t. Forget the buys vs sells. The SP tells you the sells outdid the buys. It's not rocket science, when the buyers come in, the SP will rise. Really don't use that data.

LW, I braved a small buy at 50p. Thanks for the input. Can they 'reasonably' buy when clearly something internal is happening. They know more than we do which would seem to make a buying 'bad form' at least (unless they have disclosed everything of pertinence).

I hate accounting issues and the idea that whatever it is goes back years worries me greatly. But, I'm ok to 'punt' a bit on a bounce. And I will almost certainly add.

Agree collingham, if 258 doesn't hold, 252 looks to be next. I feel schizophrenic as my emotional self can't believe it, but my logical disciplined self has refused to add here until we see 258 or below. If we dip a bit below 258 I absolutely agree 252 becomes quite likely. That makes my head spin as 360 is 'a' theoretical baseline, our recent RNS seemed to contain no downside surprises. What a great world! Nearly everyone gets wrongfooted, which leaves money on the table.
