What made you buy them ?
I think there are a number of forecasts about, the UN 2017 report states 9.8 in 2050 and 11.2 in 2100
The 47 least developed countries have a birthrate of 4.3 per woman.
By 2100 the number of people in the world over 80 is expected to increase by 7 times.
In Europe the birth rate at 1.6 is below the required level for generation replacement.
This will result in mass migration to developed countries.
TinkerT,
You are correct, nobody ever mentions the fact that the world is over populated.
It is the major cause of global warming.
In 2050 there were about 2.5 billion people on the earth, today it is 8 billion, by the end of the century it is expected to be over 11 billion.
Not a fan of buybacks, I would prefer the dividend, then I can decide what to do with the cash.
Thank you for your comments.
I was only asking LTI for a simple yes or no !
So basically it's a gamble that the share price wil go up.
Personally I would prefer the dividend, then I can decide what to do with it.
I hope not.
A buyback for cancellation reduces shareholders equity on the liabilities side by the same amount on the balance sheet.
It needs to use cash the same as if it paid out dividends. The share price will remain the same after the transaction.
Good news today for those holding OCDO. But remember this was over £29 2 years ago so most long term holders will be well down.
It has been my most profitable stock but I've only bought it when it has shown good positive momenetum. I may be in next month.
The first £100 per month should be charged at the old rate, any usage higher than this should be charged at the current rate.
This will encourage us to use less whilst protecting the most vulnerable.

"Just bought in - this is cheap as chips ? £7.95 placing in June raising £575m, huge Director buy in Sept, Cashflow modelling seminar in Nov (should be positive otherwise why would you bother), people always need food, tech stocks at long term lows (only one way to go in next 12 months) - what am I missing ?"
Where to begin ? Directors often buy due to mispalced loyalty or ignoance, people need food but have much cheaper options, "only one way to go", nope there are always two.
