Diversified Energy Share Discussion Threads

"accretive" is mentioned 10 times - always a good term in an RNS.

The last couple of deals have done very little for the share price and today this one is looking the same.

[johnhemming] 10/7/2024 07:19

If anything should worry the shorters this acquisition should. It may be that the shorters don't understand the difference between a hyperbolic decline and an exponential decline.

The vendors are happy to sell at PV20, but get some benefit from an increasing share price.

You never know, but the vendors may even buy some stock. (later in the year when the transaction completes, but at that point the share price is likely to be higher).

New acquisition

I am hoping we wont visit the 10's
Again J P Morgan further reduced
their short by 0.20%

[tsmith2] 09/7/2024 12:42

Through 12 and we target 14

kaos3, Good article. Quite reassuring when you see the losses by these Shorts on DEC atm.

Disappointing drop back in New York
$13.58, which should see us back to
around £10.60p on open.
I guess it was wishful thinking
we could consolidate around £11

Wrong thread

[marksp2011] 05/7/2024 12:55

and another one

I can see from the data that if the oil price moves 1%, ABC Oil moves 3%. ABC oli is thus a leveraged play on the oil price. Rather than trading oil with $100k I can trade ABC oil with $33k and so save my capital for the same degree of exposure.

I am not betting on ABC per se, I am looking at the oil price.

Leonobull

There is a startegy called pairs trading where you short one stock and go long on another depending on how they are correlated statistically.

I might be short BAT, long KO because of how they move relative to each other.

Second thing, I have a 1M long and was feeling a bit nervous, I might take 750k short to lower my risk

Third thing. Suppose there is a binary event coming eg...an announcement of results. I might take 500k long with a stop loss and 500k short with a stop loss. If there is a big move in either direction my bad trade is closed out and the good one keeps running

Fourth one. I take a short and then, wade into the cash market and make my short profitable. People like GS do that everyday.

@leonobull - I agree, it is a mystery as at these levels there near always tends to be a rumour, or a leak, or some potential bad news lurking in background, however the action across the pond suggests otherwise. The only good news is that at some point they have to close and with over 8% of the free float on loan, the impact of that will be signifcant!

[bountyhunter] 03/7/2024 13:32

Trump will probably win given the opposition, yes DEC would probably benefit from such an outcome.

[leoneobull] 03/7/2024 12:12

My question is why are they shortie? I don't mind shorts generally if a low % but why 2nd highest in the UK? It is counterintuitive. Shorts are often smarter than us yet US IIs are long. I don't get it!!

[saltaire111] 03/7/2024 12:00

With Trump likely to re-enter the White House, this stock will be a significant beneficiary. I can see this doubling with a Trump majority.

[drk1] 03/7/2024 08:27

Short interest up yet again - now at a mind-boggling 8.12%. Never seen anything like this before.

[bountyhunter] 03/7/2024 08:10

Russell 2000 effect? NY volumes are certainly higher.

[blue square] 03/7/2024 06:46

Large trade in the US of 75000 shares
after close at $14.13, which matches
the total volume in UK if you strip
out the UT trade here.
Fully expect the share price to
be £11 today.
The shorters have no future here
now because there are big US buyers
willing to buy cheap, so there is
limited downside IMO

[justiceforthemany] 02/7/2024 21:08

Big surge into the close in the US on good volume.

[kaos3] 02/7/2024 09:28

8 % BRock
8% short
8% russel index demand

makes a vol of a quater of the company

when they are finished up we go. probably soon another month or two because NG is in the correction mood

[drk1] 02/7/2024 08:29

Blackrock aside, there is now at least a staggering 8% out on loan for shorting - a number than has increased week on week throughout June. In all my years of trading, never quite seen such a mind-boggling scenario! ;-)
