I would like to see some diversity in the board and senior management. The younger generation would have more faith in the sustainability message if they felt it was coming from their generation.

It looks like they do well during a market crash and recovery. A nice lesson to learn and take advantage of next time.

JDCBC, we will see 120 many times. We will also see 100 many times. It's the nature of this share because people trade on emotions. Every day DEC is locking in higher gas prices. We already know 2022 and 2023 will be good years. On the flip side, there will be a lot of environmental news headlines kicking anyone who supplies fossil fuels. This is by far the best share to trade and hold in the FTSE. Find me another where you have almost guaranteed profits, +10% dividend and the opportunity to trade in a predictable price range.

Rogue, just over 2yrs ago the SP was £4.80. It's 55p now. That's due to bad news after bad news. Most of it was avoidable. None of it is highlighted as the managers fault. They seriously believe things are great and in their words 'things are exactly to their expectations'. In fact, they have no problem rewarding themselves with any money they do make or take off shareholder bailouts.

I have close ties to the building business and it's been booming in the last 2 years. I think you'll find that COST could have done a lot better under a different set of upper managers. Still on the bright side, the business is so de-valued that it could be bought out and soon back to the good old days.

Oil and Gas are still essential. Until there is a mass alternative, we still need to dig it up and use it. Beating up Shell will not stop the world wanting and using fossil fuels. It will have the opposite effect of panic buying, price rises and chaos. Good luck to the politicians if their country runs out of fuel and/or the people can't afford it!

Shell will be making a lot of cash at the moment. Look at Oil & Gas prices before the pandemic. Oil is UP 15% and Gas UP 60% average. Share price is DOWN 30%. The current trend, once all the Looney investors leave, suggest a share price target of £25

The company is so badly run, that even a director buy prompts the market to panic sell. Has anyone got any faith left?

Very strange share price. I thought this would linger more in the £2.50 range.

What a great company. Always an action beyond what's needed. Well done DEC.

Too much money being taken out of the market and invested in Crypto. I'm sure when that bubble bursts, we will see good companies return to proper SP valuations.

Please get rid of the upper management. They promise so little and delivery so much worse :(

I thought I better change the title, as it was a little negative. The first video I saw from the CEO spoke about his price target of the SP to be around 20p. He said he wanted to achieve that in a very short time. His logic and fundamentals all sounded very good. I think he believed that there would have been some big finds by now. Maybe a bit of over excitement on his part and no reason why he was not right but these things take time. The question I asked myself is, should I leave my cash invested without growth or move it to somewhere with a better short term outlook and/or with a dividend payout. I decided to take out half and leave the rest on the hope of some exciting news at some point. Good luck to you all :)

LOL. I should complain more often!

I'm a long term holder. I've done the research and followed the companies progress. There was early promise but I'm not sure if there will ever be any real substance to get to the highs that were hinted at very early on.

Gold price slowly climbing. Only a matter of time until the investors push up the SP.

Hi Rag, the SP drop after the ExDiv date is usually only temporary. The share price for DEC usually trades in the range of £1 to £1.20. I don't expect that to change much.

Politics is a funny game. Let's see what will happen when people cannot afford to turn on the heat, fill up the car with petrol and pay the rent. As soon as his ratings dip, Boris will have his wellies and hard hat on at the BP pumping station.

I don't understand how the SP is always failing, although there tend to be more buys than sells.

At what price point does this become attractive to the Oil & Gas big boys? All are earning a lot of money and looking to hoover up green investments.

Hold your nerve. SP will go up, especially when the crypto crash comes. Only a matter of time until the crypto gang realise they own nothing but a worthless imaginary coin. Fools gold?

WOW! The dividend grows again. Great update. Cash pouring in. SP of course goes down lol I'm sure a lot of people are scared of companies that make good profits and reward shareholders.
