Thus, in the third quarter alone, more was spent on this type of share price maintenance than ever before in a full calendar year. In the course of the year, the amount already adds up to about 16 billion dollars.

Cash balance thus declined only slightly compared with the previous quarter. The 90-year-old star investor actually preferred to spend the money on investments – for a long time he largely rejected share buybacks to maintain the share price. But buffett has had a hard time finding suitable takeover targets for some time now.

Today’s 1. March is equal-care day. While equal pay day, which commemorates wage inequality between women and men, has been in existence since 2007, equal care day is still relatively new. Only since 2016 has it been commemorated in leap years on march 29. February and in all other years on 1. Marz to the unequal distribution of care work, it says in a press release of the agency for work schweinfurt.

Doris kufner-schonfelder, equal employment opportunity officer at the schweinfurt employment agency, uses this day as an opportunity to point out that well over 80 percent of professional care work in germany is done by women. Women are disproportionately represented in childcare, elementary schools, nursing and domestic professions. Often, these services were not sufficiently rewarded or socially recognized.
