19 Jul 2022Excuse my ignorance but when a CEO buys back shares in his own company (The director of Kaap Agri who has been buying up shares is back at it, with a purchase worth nearly R119k.) is this a good thing or bad?

19 Jul 2022Hi Ian,
We need to distinguish between share buybacks (the company buying the shares) and the directors buying shares in the market. When a director is buying shares, it’s always good. That person is investing his or own money in the company alongside the other shareholders.
