Apologies in advance if this is a simplistic question - why does DEC not hold the bought back shares in Treasury and retain them for use in future share-based acquisitions? It gives them another option on financing the consideration, with limited downside?

I know a dude that did an MBA and then decided to do that masters as well

Very often, great academics make poor real-life actors in markets (fodder via own arrogance in ability); but I have to say, there ia the odd exception

Genius on the long term

So I hear anyway . Presume its true

If any ofytou are bored and retired, I'd recommend an online acturial science masters . Can do it in own timefrae and some really good practical things to be learned

[putinaire] 29/8/2024 10:45

The accounts...I reckon if anyone of a forensic accounting background was here, they would have a laugh . And a good actuary would be rolling around the floor laughing

Don't need to. But always a good place to be fishing for sure

Just 2 years ago this was £1.40.Now just above 45p , catastrophic, and yet we see many of the same posters defending it. Like it's not their (the management) fault! To even begin to understand the accounts you have to be an accountant and a good one at that. The results are couched in terms which are very deceptive . Check Key Bank research from this week if anybody can find it.

See y'all at 507 for a natter

I do reckon a lot of village houses are going to be cheap. I've met a lot of people living in old family homes but def cash poor. Some are the poorest in the country in cash terms . Going to be bargains out there next year

Garage made an interesting point

Some of the rich are leaving but far from all. As most millionaires tend to be retired or near it so they don't hsve the future decades of state of play to contend with.

It's the youth re the future millionaires thst are leaving. The brwuns of the country are in exodus and whsts left in the UK?

Just read advfn

That's the real world

Most UK companies are, in investment terms, fkd for at least the medium term

When taxes were not so crazy, they were still awful years ago. You could earn 60/70K per year and you were still working 1.8 days of 5 for the paye deductions

Now you are working 4.1 days for tax deductions when you include taxes on net pay re VAT etc

Won't be long now and you will be working for a net monthly iou

I've a place I haven't even been to for 6 months and paid circa £500 in standing energy charges wuth only a frw things running on it such as broadbsnd and security. Fridge etc . I don't think the gas even had to come on once re a drop below 5 degrees

It's just not feasible if you work

[putinaire] 29/8/2024 10:08

I see no reason why even the most basic of analysis can't foresee this being a simple 50% lower than today's price

Then if you go deeper re gas markets blah blah, can see -80% wirh ease on today's price

Gas prices won't matter soon anyway. Nobody be able to turn it on

State of DEC isn't the only issue. Every time market reacts badly to a mega cap, they do QE All night in cheap low V to take the sting out.

War seems imminent too

UK is going to be on its knees by March 2025

Inflation is set to fly up again

Conclusion:

The shorters seem to have cover on nearly every external affecting variable

Awful re 900 psyche for bounce distribution

This will get brutal before week closes

Well, divi investing isn't for me but it is for some.

[stevensupertrader] 29/8/2024 07:42

Not really - you call this juicy dividend , just think , you are just taking your own capital from the left pocket and out it in your right pocket and lose/ drop some coins by doing the transferring . Yesterday closing was £9.35 now £9.14 and falling 😞 😔

[bulltradept] 29/8/2024 07:35

Hardly a free fall only down 15p atm, quite reasonable given the juicy divi for holders, they'd argue.

[stevensupertrader] 29/8/2024 07:33

Ex div and share price is experiencing a free fall 😔 😔 . Nothing the Board & Rusty can do to stop this nightmare even with huge BB the last few trading days as investors seeing their investments going up in smoke .
