on the longer term it is up to wear andke great eye captured the new users coming into the market. the demographic trend is in our favor. we need to be sure that as more people come into the markets that we are ready for them. manus: you mentioned the demographics that you are ready for. you are doing double digit growth. is that sustainable? to sustain that double-digit performance, what does that do to pricing? these are record levels of growth. i think to declare them as the be correct.t what is driving our business might now is not only great but ourcollections, ability to work with customers on their business models.

we are able to work with entrepreneurs. mentioned areyou some of the first that have adopted this sales program. it is driving the business. it is pricing independent. manus: even got one billion euros and counting. you said you don't need to do your growth targets. that leads me to a straightforward presumption. you're going to do a shareholder by back. these guys should be doing a share buyback. is that what you are going to do? we don't need to do mma because to reach our goal of the next 10 years, we need to grow another 7%.

at our track record, we are more or less at that record right now. i believe we can get to their without the need for an acquisition. of course, it gets harder and harder as you get bigger. euros inne billion cash and our dead position is very good. from the outside we look ready to pounce on the acquisition front. we can afford to do that judiciously. it is not really a prep for a buyback. we are looking at options. we don't have a gun at our head for acquisitions. if we had good deals and good options, we would take them. ands: where the good deals options? are they in china? there must be a bit of value there. >> all the time in emergent markets we make moves that don't make the headlines because we

are working wholesale and retail. , may beat acquisitions a small change that could give presence a real estate or that could allow us to pave the way for some of our small businesses. for the rest, you will have to wait. manus: i will be patient. but what i am getting impatient for is google glasses. please give me an update on google glass. have already transformed my life. i have your products. how are you going to transform my life? will it be in the first quarter of 2016 with google glass? we are working more than one project.

the scenario has been outlined and it is possible, yes. >> to understand the scenario when we come up with $20 a barrel, it is based upon the idea of operational stress. that is very unique to energy markets. what do i mean by that? is cannot happen in metals. when you produce aluminum, you can store it outside the smelter easily. of the aluminum is one easiest things in the world. all you need is a parking lot, chain link fence, a guard dog. you are good. you never breached storage capacity. in contrast, think about a barrel of oil. cannotce the oil, but put it outside the well. it has to go inside the pipeline, to the storage facility. if you breach the storage tank, you have anothe no other option but to reduce the price.

you would have to get down to $20 a barrel to create a type of correction. manus: you heard it from goldman sachs first. bp was one of those. big beat,saw a despite a drop in the third quarter. joined i our headmanned for commodities. to the refining business. gasoline and diesel seem to have done very well. we expect to see one point $3 billion. they came up at $1.8 billion. manus: when you look at what else they said. worldhard to live in a with $60 oil.

all gearing up for some of the big tech giants later. aswill see how they perform well. back to you. up for au are gearing slightly lower opening. one of the larger culprits is the asf. it does not expect things to get better anytime soon. isn't that the message coming through here, hans? they are talking about a murky outlook from china. theirre slashing euro-dollar target. iss: the word they are using slight. they expect a slight decrease in earnings and overall revenues. they blamed the slowdown in china and brazil, as well as the decline in oil prices. you just take a look at the

decline in oil prices and what that has done to their pricing. that is down the percent for the year. -- that is down 8% for the year. eurose in at 17.4 billion or the quarter, almost a 5% decrease. mess there. your is what the ceo had to say in a statement. >> we experienced a pronounced summer lull. inor markets like brazil are recession. they face lower growth rates, such as china. felt 1.6%.item manus, it is not necessarily going to get better. in part because of that asset's swap. they got rid of some oil transfer services.

revenues from that will be lower because of the price of oil. they say in the fourth quarter, things are not necessarily going to get better. earlier last week the company did pledge or whatnot the redundancies at their headquarters in west germany. this is a massive company. it gives you a great take on overall what the outlook is. there will not be job cuts there. they do have 113,000 global employees. they have 380 production sites worldwide. in some ways, they are continuing to invest in germany, but they do expect lower revenues and earnings. manus: thank you very much for wrapping up everything with the basf. here to break down the numbers for the third-quarter profit is

sam. let's make it simple. sam: most of the pressure was from hong kong. each of suffering in those. q2 was zero and this quarter is down 2%. it was meant to be a good few years. a good one.it is people are getting older and the population is aging, generally. i know for a fact that i need glasses to read. demographics are behind it, but the business is tough.

asia and emerging markets have a serious pressure on them. the $390 million they are going to pay for the u.s. kick back case. what are the details? >> at the moment they are sensitive to the phrase specialized pharmaceuticals. may or may not have accounting issues. this is a long-standing issue. they have been getting kids kickbacks and the have settled it. this will hopefully be behind them. manus: always great to get an update from you.

we will welcome the president and portfolio manager at edge asset manager. it is great to have you with us. how do you look at pharma? >> we do have exposure to big pharma. in have to be very cautious this space and investors have to do their homework and look at the fundamentals. a lot of these big multinationals have been impacted by the slowing global growth. finding the companies that can maneuver through that environment is critical for investors. articlehere is a great that only a ninja would make money. i think that is an apt way to put it.

we have seen quite a bit of volatility in moves. byn stocks drop, they drop 10%. >> absolutely, there is more volatility. it has been a wild ride since entering that period. more volatility moving forward as the world economies are slowing down and oil prices are under pressure. the fed is also contemplating their first move in interest rates. go in and find the companies that can maneuver through this environment. pullbacks are actually a buying opportunity for those companies that can rebound. manus: last week we saw a

phenomenal turnaround. microsoft added $9 billion. added $90 billion to the value of equities. how do you look at tech between the new and the old? who has the proposition correct? >> microsoft is our neighbor in seattle. maneuver and move with fundamentals with these companies. are onour emphasises based on dividends. a couple years ago apple instigated their new dividends. are characteristics of what we believe to be a strong company.

if they can have a strong dividend and go after shareholders over time. we have an article that states payouts in u.s. equities will rise by 5%. this will be the smallest payout we have seen since 2010. are we building up the ability to really maintain these dividend payouts when we see such concern about growth? that is the balancing act. >> it is still not every company. you have to do your homework and the fundamentals. for edge, finding these companies and the small to midsize portfolio, many of the companies have raised their dividend over the past 12 months. yes, there is pressure, especially in the large multinationals because of the small growth environment, that there are a lot of small and

midsize companies that can still pay and grow their dividend and business. those are the companies we are focused on and in the u.s. there is still a mountain of cash sitting on balance sheets. we do believe that is coming back to shareholders, but not across the board. we see some huge deals going on. will it be a shareholder return? >> there will definitely be mma activity. in the small to mid for folio, where we focus on these quality companies, we see acquisitions there. there are normally one or two a year. the big companies want to buy. that is an opportunity as well in these types of strategies. manus: stay with me. we have more to get through. jill, the president at edge
