OK boys and girls - DEC closed up a highly significant circa 4.05% on NYSE this evening at $14.46USD / £11.57GBP (having been well over 5% up during trading). If the shorts aren't on the run early next week they should be put on suicide watch!!
Now time to head to the pub for a beer or two. Poor old GG - made to look a total clown last night and DEC on the up today - not really been his week has it eh? LoL
Looks like JPM increased their short another 0.2% yesterday. Shares now up over 5% in NY. Surely something has to give
Ahhh - It's cute to see the little lad sooooo excited eh (and he even put a little rocked emoji on it)?
Great to see DEC rocketing even higher this evening in New York trading. A strong intraday spike. Every time I open my stock app, there's more money in it 🚀
Jim: Think you might have a long wait for a response to those questions from skiramp?
Skier - can you please clarify two of your points?
"The buy backs are accelerating." They started off at 3,750 shares per day and today were at (wait for it) 3,750 again. Now when I did my degree if something was at the same speed over a period of time it most definitely was not accelerating, there was no acceleration at all.
"The big players are buying a big stake." Think you mean one player has bought 5% - which other big players are you referring to?
By all means get excited and run about weeing on the floor - but if you're going to pretend to be factual then at least be factual - your constant exaggeration makes you look a fool.
There has to be a point at which a higher level manager notices that J P Morgan's short is getting out of hand and calls an end. Irrespective of the three increases in their short this week DEC is currently 2.52% up on NYSE - they have tried doubling down but it clearly isn't working. The JAM buy of 5% has blown the previous perceived credibility of all shorts out of the water and I suspect we may well over the tipping point (heading in a northerly direction). My guess is that Adage will be the first to buy back as they have the most profit to crystallise here - they are well in the money - the rest are all currently losers - some serious losers. Shame eh? All speculation and IMO of course.
Well - I see J P Morgan are looking increasingly like losers (maybe GG is one of theirs?) - they have yesterday increased their short by yet another 0.22% to 1.7% - somebody on their Staff is going to be very, very embarrassed (and likely fired)!! LoL
Skiramp: 'Great to see today that Jupiter fund now own a huge 5% share in DEC.' Many thanks for letting us all know - absolutely nobody on here had seen the 07:00 RNS promulgating that information - honest! What would we do without you excited youngsters rushing around bringing us old news eh? You remind me of a little puppy we used to have once. LoL
Jim800, maybe our greygeorge is working for Jupiter, to try to get the share price down ?!!!
Interesting how different financial investor companies have such diverse views. This is why I've ignored the Shorter 'noise' and held.
Clued: As far as GG is concerned he's likely licking his wounds after being well and truly trashed last night. I'm sure he'll be back to have another crack at me - but the end result will be just the same - game, set and match - GG is a loser.
Now skiramp is just a silly lad - throws in soundbites he's likely heard somewhere that he thinks sound erudite - but his endless repetition and absence of any depth out him as lacking any real knowledge or imagination. Obsessive, compulsive disorder you reckon - you might be right? He's certainly a sandwich short of a picnic whatever his diagnosis! LoL
Great to see today that Jupiter fund now own a huge 5% share in DEC. The big players are buying a big stake. Yet another bullish sign.
Ah notrex, go easy on the lad. We should have some sympathy. Looks like he has that repetitive disorder, what's it called ? OC something ?
Any sign of greygeorge yet, think he'd have been kicked off his bench by now, gathered up his humble bits and pieces, had a cup of tea at local charity and now be on his prized possession smart phone. Need his expert advice re DEC as I believe one of his park bench neighbours used to be a high flying fund manager, but, like Reggie Perrin, decided the materialistic life wasn't for him. Don't worry, I have a nice shed (our cat thinks so anyway) that greygeorge can use if his advice works out well. Could also give him some wine I suppose, but tea is probably healthier !!
Skiramp: I'm sure you're very excited about DEC being up +3% - so just another 130% or so to go to get back to where it was before the monumental SP crash. What 'chart' looks bullish - or is that just something to throw in to add a bit of tinsel - that and the rocket emoji of course (folks will be super impressed with that - honest!). LoL
Skier1,
"Darktrace is nothing to be proud of" ???
You have a very unusual view of things, again probably your youth compared to my age. Darktrace is worth over USD5b to buyer TB of Chicago. My gains are a healthy 5 figures. Why not be proud of Darktrace and of my decision to invest there ? If it was DEC wouldn't you be proud ? The LSE has lower share prices than US Stk Markets because the US can attract much more finance. My eldest works in California and has worked in Silicon Valley and the available funds there cannot be beaten by London, believe me !!
DEC now up +3%. Charts looking very bullish 🚀
Skiramp: Congratulations - you've reached double figures - that's now ten (yes - 10) times you've repeated yourself regarding PE of 1 vs. etc. etc. - plus the Russell Index saga (repeat, repeat)! Your memory truly is pi55 poor - given you're likely still a teenager I would be seriously worried in your situation.
The reality is, dividend investing hasn't worked well for decades. It's why the dividend-obsessed FTSE100 has flopped this century, yet the growth-led S&P500 has rocketed to the moon.
Darktrace is nothing to be proud of. It's yet another UK tech firm that is being swallowed by an overseas player, followed by the inevitable loss away from the UK of world-class IP, senior jobs and top salaries. Not to mention the associated degradation of the London stockmarket and its nonstop relentless decline.
It's great to see DEC refocusing on a plan for high growth here. It's the sign of a modern firm.
Broomtree,
1. which threads removed and what combatants (entertainers ?) please ?
2. "As my opening post stated there’s a wholesale change in share ownership taking place as people exit the divi play and others enter for capital growth and reduced divi - will take some time"
What's your source for this statement, is it just your gut feeling, because many late mature/declining shares have high divs with far less growth potential than growth / early maturity stage ones ?
Skier1, "naive dividend gamblers".
You certainly are persistent, but your obvious young age naivety is so obvious. There are multi-billion £ funds that invest in shares and other financial products for their potential high income return. Who are you to criticise that ever present and wise investment strategy, and please answer this post, because if not I'll take it that you accept being wrong. I invested for the dividend at c 13% p.a. at the time, didn't perceive any risk to the share price falling,
and there is nothing wrong with having a portfolio strategy which includes a mix of high div shares and high growth shares.
One growth share of mine, Darktrace, has today confirmed a most welcome c. 625p cash offer fully recommended by the BoD. I need to find a home for those very material funds and might ask greygeorge for some advice if he can spare a few minutes from his park bench wine tasting meetings.
Incredible potential here. DEC is at a PE ratio of 1 (and rising), versus an oil-gas-sector average of 7. A DCF calc suggests fair value for the shareprice is at least £30-40. DEC is joining the prestigious Russell 2000 index in May-Jun 2024, and the big index trackers will have to start buying in. DEC financials look awesome, the buybacks are accelerating, cashflow is up, index trackers will shortly be arriving, and future revenue forecasts are being uplifted and upgraded by financial analysts. What's more, the CEO has moved on from pandering to the naive dividend gamblers, and he's now refocused on growth. Since the refocus, the shareprice has soared a huge +35% in a month. The DEC growth journey is underway 👍
Skiramp: '...and a huge buyback program underway.' - Wahahahahahahahahaha
As predicted, you gotta buy the dip and let it rip. Charts look very positive. Revenues being upgraded, debt reducing, profits growing, and a huge buyback program underway. This looks ready to test the £12 level again 👍
Krustymegma: My point exactly.
