I didn't say I'm for a buyback. I wrote the management of a company (no matter which company) should choose what is the best for the shareholder value in the long run. Only management can decide that, they know far more then we do about future expectations.
Some say it is only for the short term but a buyback is especially for the long term (the profit will be divided by less shares). I remember at the meeting 6 January some people didn't like the dilution and made some comments about it (so this is the opposite only then better because for the same amount the can buy back huge more shares).
But again, if the management sees better opportunities or hold the cash for bad times it's also okay.
Besides that, it is not up to us so this discussion or a poll has no value and no use.
