He could be given a code name/number - so it would look like you weren't really mentioning him - something like H2Z (I'm sure you can work that out?). Then the fangirls could pretend they didn't really know who was being talked about but those who didn't need to pretend could then talk openly without mentioning names and thereby causing tears within the fangirl club? How's that for a master diplomatic solution eh?
Don't mention the.........(insert as appropriate)!

Dear oh dear oh dear - seems the AS fangirls got very, very cross and upset last night. I guess it just gets increasingly difficult, frustrating and disheartening to defend the indefensible - causing such outbursts of anguish? I do believe one or two of the fangirls were actually in tears! AS - hero to zero - tragic eh?
Dazzle: To clarify - when I suggest BBs become increasingly less cost effective around £15 (my guesstimate) - that is stated insofar as the money would thereafter potentially be better saved for any new low-priced assets which may come to market to increase DECs asset base. However, like all here - I do not have sight of the data which might allow me (or others) to make a better informed judgement in this regard.
Dazzle: Thanks for your thoughts - appreciate the time you have taken to peruse recent events. The one issue I would comment on further is this latest in a non-event series of alleged BB programmes from DEC - none of which have, to date, been other than anaemic. As was pointed out earlier, Peel Hunt to date have made circa £75K of BBs - not enough to cause even the faintest of ripples. Sadly, this has largely been the case for quite some time now - with multiple posters urging more aggressive action for quite some time (except for Jim that is (sorry Jim)!). The credibility of DEC in this regard is already wafer thin if not non-existent - a further limp BB campaign will simply destroy what (if any) credibility they still have in this regard. The regrettable truth is that DEC have proved to be experts at being highly economical with the truth - and I think many here (if not most or even all) will henceforth judge DEC by their actions - not their words.
At what point BBs become nugatory is debateable - anywhere from £8 upwards (and the closer the better) at the easy to determine end of the spectrum - but at what point does it become, as you say, not beneficial. It's really a 'how long is a piece of string' question - as nobody knows what DEC's SP may eventually rise to (hopefully) hereafter. I would suggest the cost effectiveness starts to peter out around £15 - but that's based more on an intuitive stab as opposed to any empirical calculation.
Final point - one of the great positives about betting on the Grand National is that you know with certainty that the horses won't lie to their owners!! All IMO of course.
PL: Absolutely - and as long as AS is at the helm it's looking increasingly likely - we need him gone now - not after he's 'achieved' that 20p raise!!! Not laughing here either.
Bridgewater Associates reduced their short by 0.02% yesterday - now on 0.88%.

Question is PL - how long is that likely to take (we are talking AS here remember) and do they even have the experience and ability to do that (given that to date they have managed to 'achieve' an SP of 52p with AVCT - doesn't augur well does it)?
Nano: In other words our gormless CEO got taken to the cleaners by a professional pharma business executive - and we are now paying the price of his stupidity. Until he goes we are constantly at the mercy of his next act of buffoonery - he needs to stand aside or be binned - and quickly.
Skiramp: 'The chart is showing a classic "double bottom", a very bullish reversal pattern that signals the sunset of a downtrend.' You mean it seems to have stopped falling and is currently rising - genius eh? My youngest grandchild (4) could look at the DEC SP chart and see that!! LoL
Skiramp:
1. You mean IF the 'current' buy back goes ahead as advertised - the last three (yes - THREE) haven't.
2. Shorts may not capitulate - they may double down - quite possible.
3. You mean IF the company joins Russell 2000 - they may not.
I know you're solely here to ramp - but let's keep it real eh?
Skiramp: DEC is currently circa 40% down from it's 52 week high - it's circa 57% down on its all time high. On the planet Ramp that you live on that may equate to the CEO 'doing a good job' - but down here on planet Earth it's called an utter car-crash - judged by any metric.
