The first quarter of 2016 was largely in line with expectations. Stock markets around the world underwent a corrective setback, offering new buying opportunities.
Our trip to the United Arab Emirates once again confirmed my conviction that there are no longer any serious opportunities for growth in Germany/EU due to the bureaucratic madness. Real pioneering work with foresight is being done elsewhere – we, on the other hand, are stuck in traffic jams in front of dilapidated highway bridges. Take the opportunity to take a look at Abu Dhabi and Dubai – at the latest at the World Expo 2020.
As every year, the second quarter is the quarter of shareholder meetings and dividend payments. This year, for the first time, we will be able to attend the various general meetings across the board. Another trip to the far north is planned for June. We wish all friends of our company good business!
