>If a company buys back 1% of its stock every year, isn't it returning the same amount of money to stockholders as if it has a 1% dividend?< JS- That is what Warren Buffet says. In fact, he says it is better, because you don't have to pay taxes on it. I am not so certain. Cash paid is cash paid. Investment back into the company can magically disappear in a falling market. But Warren sure has a lot more experience (and wealth) than I do- so you can make up your own mind on it. <g> In summary- You have to agree that the buybacks are better for the LT investor in a rising market. However, that may not be the case in a falling one.
