I Want My Buyback Back Daimler Update... Buy Sky High & Selling At Record Low To Abu Dhabi

I´m still suffering a flu so the posting will continue to be light but this one is just too good to slip through..... Unfortunately i was spot on in my judgement on the incompetence of Dailmer´s management ( see How Daimler Wasted € 7 Billion On Buybacks In Just 15 Months...... ). Also no surprise to see the media here in Germany applauding the move not mentioning the failure of Zetsche € Co......

Bin gesundheitlich immer noch etwas angeschlagen und werde daher auch diese Woche blogtechnisch etwas kürzertreten. Dieses Meisterstück von Daimler verdient aber zumindest ein paar Minuten Aufmrksamkeit und Häme. Schadenfreude kann selbst ich bei soviel Inkompetenz nicht mehr aufbringen. Leider hatte ich mit meiner Einschätzung ( siehe How Daimler Wasted € 7 Billion On Buybacks In Just 15 Months...... ) Recht und es bleibt zu befürchten das Leute wie Zetsche von den deutschen Medien für diesen "Schachzug" auch noch gefeiert werden ( siehe FT Deutschland , FAZ , Spiegel Experten loben Daimler für Abu-Dhabi-Deal).


Daimler Sells Aabar a 9.1% Stake for $2.7 Billion
March 22 (Bloomberg) --

Daimler AG, the world’s second- largest maker of luxury cars, will sell 1.95 billion euros ($2.7 billion) of shares to Abu Dhabi’s Aabar Investments PJSC, raising cash as it grapples with the deepening global recession and gaining a long-term shareholder.

Aabar will buy 96.4 million new Daimler shares for 20.27 euros apiece, the Stuttgart, Germany-based automaker said in a statement today. The price equates to a 5 percent discount to Friday’s close of 21.34 euros.

Now the "glorious" history of buybacks taken from How Daimler Wasted € 7 Billion On Buybacks In Just 15 Months...... JUST BRILLIANT!
