'He (The Oak Blokes) has about 6 posts on DEC. (for those who don't know of him) See his site'

How have his previous predictions panned out so far ?

.

'...This board rapidly becoming unreadable!

Always good to put a marker down at an AGM, danger these become automated in the mind of the board...'

You managed to turn that single post into a self-affirming observation, without skipping a beat, lol.

'...The point about Black Bear is not the acquisition, it's the performance improvement. Again, why the negative spin? ...'

I mean, if I wanted to spin it negatively, I'd ask why they didn't point out the need to upgrade when they bought Blackbear in 2022 from...checks notes...Oaktree Capital. And I'd wonder how much the upgrade actually cost, on top of the 10 million given to Oaktree in 2022. But I don't want to be accused of spinning, lol.

Pickedpeck, I haven't spun anything. The figures I quoted were taken direct from Alliance News published on 9th May 2024 at 13.01. Maybe lodge your spin allegation at them ? Get them to issue a retraction and apology if it's spin, or fake news, or whatever flavour your conspiracy theory infected mind wishes to label it as.

Oh never mind, my mistake. They're just re-hashing old news. Lol.

I know it's late, but didn't DEC already buy Blackbear Midstream LLC ? From (wait for it) Oaktree Capital ? And doesn't Blackbear Midstream already own Blackbear Processing ? So, has DEC now bought Blackbear Processing twice ?

Net loss of USD15.1 million in the quarter, swinging from profit of USD392.8 million a year prior.

Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation declined by a third on-year to USD102.1 million from USD151.4 million.

Total revenue declined 35% to USD193.6 million from USD295.9 million.

Spin it however you want, anyone who bought into this company when the share price was double what it is now, and the dividend was 3 times what it is now, is never going to recoup their investment.

Try not to catch his eye, SD235. He attaches himself to people. His post history is full of obsessional attachments to individual posters.

Karak - You almost certainly would have to file a US tax return to get a refund at this point for previous tax paid on those dividends that had withholding at 30%. There's no easy option, sorry.

Notrex, let's play your pathetic little game then. I've been talking down DEC since - when - last March ? The share price then was about 1850p ? As you say, 'DEC finished positive in New York - you and the short crew must be a wee bit pi55ed off about that - not gone quite according to plan eh?' If you're assuming I'm playing in the UK market, then unless DEC opens - or closes - above 1850p tomorrow, why would I even be bothered ?

Mrg123 - Do you think the 'shorts' are the cause of DEC's decline over the past 14 or so months ?

Ok, thanks to Vistaman and Justanotherbat, I have a definitive answer to the question you asked about 1042-s.

It's for reference only, your broker was the issuer, and it shows details of payments received, and tax withheld. If you've filled in a W8-Ben with your broker, to reduce the tax withheld as a non-resident of the US, if applicable, on shares held in an ISA or SIPP. You must have some sort of exotic broker, if they're going to the trouble of issuing a 1042-s. But the parts - or copies - BCD are just for your reference in case you have to fill in a US tax return.

'...Doesn't matter if he holds shares or not, all he wants to do is talk merde and get all the attention, I filtered him after reading one post...'

And yet there you are. giving me attention. 😉

Vistaman, for context, take off the tinfoil hat, and read the whole sentence :

'US tax is a nightmare. I'm with ii, and just had to fill in an electronic version of w8-Ben to reduce withholding tax for DEC in my ISA. My wife's American, but we file separately so I don't need to complete any other US tax forms.'

Vistaman, I'm sorry, I forgot that morons can't read and interpret a sentence that needs to be considered in context. - 'I'm with ii, and just had to fill in an electronic version of w8-Ben to reduce withholding tax for DEC in my ISA.' I probably should have stated clearly that I 'ONLY' had to fill in an electronic version of W8-Ben, meaning it was just a single, simple step, rather than 'just', as in a ' few minutes/hours/days in the past' wrongly assuming people here weren't conspiracy theorists jumping on the smallest 'gotcha' perception in their (by which, let me be clear I mean YOUR) diseased mind.

US tax is a nightmare. I'm with ii, and just had to fill in an electronic version of w8-Ben to reduce withholding tax for DEC in my ISA. My wife's American, but we file separately so I don't need to complete any other US tax forms. If you're not sure what to do with copies BCD I'd send the whole lot back to your broker with a covering letter after you've filled it in. I think A has to go to the IRS, and E to the broker, and you keep BCD. But let your broker send it back to you if that's the case. Not a definitive answer, sorry, I'm not sure why you have to fill it in, unless you submit US tax returns to the IRS.

Oh, ok, I see what you did, yes that's fair enough. Now, take a look at the past month, you'll see there's no correlation between rises over 5% and pauses in buybacks.

Day seven price rises to 1061p. PREVIOUS five day average is ((1000x4)+1030)/5 = 1006p

1061/1006 = 1.054, or a 5.4% increase vs the PREVIOUS five day average. Buy back stops.

Pickedpeck, you're a mathematician ? Tell me, what's 5% of £10.00 ? For clarity, That's FIVE PERCENT OF TEN POUNDS.
