RE: False Buybacks, yet again...5 Feb 2025 07:49
"I have said before - it is of benefit to have a low valuation whilst billions of shares are bought back. I am sure that institutions are content with that being the case, as am I."
And people wonder why the UK stock market is dead. You would never hear that kind of investing attitude in the US, they demand growth from companies or they get binned. Here, we sit in dividend/value traps for years and pretend we're happy that the share price is low, just so the company can spunk more cash against the wall on buybacks. Madness.
P.S. I did still take a cheeky slurp yesterday at 65p though
