Ice and all, its the buybacks that make the market rise... (excerpt of article) July 7, 1997 Buybacks Aren't Always A Good Sign for Investors By SUZANNE MCGEE and GREG IP Staff Reporters of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL Bullish about stocks after all those big share repurchases that have been announced? Think again. Companies continue to produce share-buyback plans at a torrid pace: So far this year, they have stated their intentions of removing as much as $87.3 billion of stock from the market, according to Securities Data Co. That comes hard on the heels of the $176.7 billion in stock repurchases announced last year. These buybacks, along with merger and acquisition activity, are eating away at the amount of stock available to investors. That, in the eyes of many stock-market analysts, is one of the main causes of the current bull market, which saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average soar 100.43 points to a new record of 7895.81 in Thursday's holiday-shortened session.
