Yes, shit happens.Everything is manipulated, literally everything and on a huge scale.
At least corporations are doing the buybacks in public.
Just saying stock buybacks aren't normally done for good business reasons.

Democrats voted to allow stock buybacks.Rarely do stock buybacks occur when prices are actually low. More often than not the stock buyback is done at over-valued prices and give poor return on capital invested. It's usually just a tactic to keep the CEO in his job at a time when the company is producing disappointing results.
While you'll almost never see anybody prosecuted, share buybacks to keep stock prices high to the detriment of the company could be called a violation of duty to be fiscally responsible, that's what they usually are.
Still, if you want people to stop doing it, you have to change the laws. Won't happen under Republican administrations.
This is where tty says he won't vote for a Democrat.
It's easier to deny the coming disaster than acknowledge and prepare for it.and my company is falling apart which i saw coming two years ago, posted a thread about a team member quitting and get laughed at.
what is wrong with everyone?
we're in BIG trouble.
the coming recession will not be as bad as 2007-8 recession because obama built an economy that even an unchecked dictator like trump cannot destroy in order to help out putin. putin wants us weak and trump will do that for him, even if it means collapsing our economyIt's easier to deny the coming disaster than acknowledge and prepare for it.
Pretty much impossible to guarantee economies.It's easier to deny the coming disaster than acknowledge and prepare for it.
No. The excesses are greater today. The leverage is greater. The assets are more overvalued. The underlying causes of the last one were never adequately addressed and in any case what protections were out in place have been rolled back. Those without a safety net are in an even more precarious position now, owing to wage stagnation.the coming recession will not be as bad as 2007-8 recession because obama built an economy that even an unchecked dictator like trump cannot destroy in order to help out putin. putin wants us weak and trump will do that for him, even if it means collapsing our economy
bush had way more time to build an economy doomed for massive collapse based solely on his own incompetence and republican greed
putin will celebrate when our economy collapses under trump and trump will be pretty happy too because he will be able to use the russian mob money he launders to scoop up his own supporter's homes. his own supporters will say how much it sucks but that they still support him because in the end he must be doing it for the betterment of america
Is the entire American automotive industry the 'too big to fail crowd'?Obama didn't save anyone except the Too Big To Fail crowd, that it's, the only ones who wouldn't have missed any meals if they had gotten the pink slips they so richly deserved.
You give Putin far too much credit, credit where it isn't due.Pretty much impossible to guarantee economies.
I'm more concerned with SCOTUS appts. (not to mention lower courts) which were the big prize in November '16.
The Soviet Union tried all through the cold war to do what Putin accomplished in 2016. To create division, turmoil, and influence an election. When they hack the power grid and you don't have lights for a day and a half (totally enabled by Trump), tell me again how horrible Democrats are.
Obama spent 2 years pumping money into a depressed economy to upright it.
Think Trump and the republicans will?
Yes. How many small and midsized manufacturing companies got Federal help?Is the entire American automotive industry the 'too big to fail crowd'?
Selective memory syndrome?
mumble mumble dam democrats all their faultDemocrats voted to allow stock buybacks.
Oops.
Anything to avoid reality that the Democrats were in bed with both Republicans and industry to make it happen, which impress that everything I've been saying about them is correct.mumble mumble dam democrats all their fault
What do you think tty, wasn't that a great impression of you?
Fuck the American auto industry and all those workers? McDonalds is hiring, right?Yes. How many small and midsized manufacturing companies got Federal help?
Do you stay up nights thinking of ways to misrepresent what others say?Fuck the American auto industry and all those workers? McDonalds is hiring, right?
Just buy a Mercedes then.
Go look in the mirror while you constantly spin and misrepresent the facts.Do you stay up nights thinking of ways to misrepresent what others say?
I want to see assistance for the whole country, not just the Fortune 50 at the very top.
WTF is wrong with that?
WTF is wrong with you, while we're at it?
We'll see who's right soon enough.Go look in the mirror while you constantly spin and misrepresent the facts.
What kind of car do you have?
I've always been on the left. And I don't enable the right by criticizing the left until AFTER elections. Too much at stake to let them have this much control for 2 years.We'll see who's right soon enough.
Stock buybacks are just the opposite to issuing new shares. They can make as many issued shares as they want, why not allow the inverse?Yes, shit happens.

Most often when people buy shares it's because they think they are a worthwhile investment.Stock buybacks are just the opposite to issuing new shares. They can make as many issued shares as they want, why not allow the inverse?
I guess we'll recognize the fake lefties too. Those are ones that simply concede power to fascists by not voting because Democrats rejected Bernie.We'll see who's right soon enough.
Colorado recently changed their primary election eligibility rules; now anyone who's unaffiliated may vote in their choice of either primary- but not both.I guess we'll recognize the fake lefties too. Those are ones that simply concede power to fascists by not voting because Democrats rejected Bernie.
